The Lord chose Joshua for leader in the place of Moses, and said to him:
As I was with Moses, so will I be with thee. When the Israelites had
mourned for Moses 30 days, they made themselves ready to go over Jordan.
The priests went before with the Ark of the Covenant, and when their
feet touched the waters of Jordan, the water flowed away below and stood
still above, and the Israelites went over on dry ground. The manna now
ceased, and they ate of the fruit of the land.
Jericho was a city surrounded with strong walls; but the Israelites took
it without sword and bow. For six days the priests with the ark and all
the armed men walked around the city, once every day; but on the seventh
day they went around it seven times, and the seventh time the priests
blew the trumpets and the people shouted, and the walls fell, and the
town was taken.--After seven years Joshua had subdued 31 kings, and
divided the land among the twelve tribes of Israel. The tribe of Levi
received no separate portion of land, but 48 cities were given them
among the other tribes.
After many years Joshua gathered the tribes of Israel together and said
to them: Choose ye this day whom ye will serve, the Lord or the gods of
the heathens; but as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord. The
people said: We will serve the Lord and hearken to His voice.--Joshua
died 110 years old. (Book of Joshua.)
