Excerpt from The Holy Bible, Containing the Old and New Testaments, Vol. 2: The Text Carefully Printed From the Most Correct Copies of the Present Authorized Translation, Including the Marginal Readings and Parallel Texts, With a Commentary and Critical Notes; The Old Testament, Joshua to Esther
Commentators and critics are divided in opinion whether the book that goes under his name was actually compiled by him.
It is argued by those who deny Joshua to be the author, that there are both names and transactions in it which did not exist till considerably after Joshua's time. The account we have, chap. Iv. 9, of the twelve stones set up by Joshua in the midst of Jordan remaining to the present day, seems to prove that the book, at least this verse, was not written till after Joshua's time; the same may be said of the account of Ai, that Joshua made it a heap for ever, even a desolation to the present day, chap. Viii. 28, which is a proof, however, that the book was not written after the time bf the kings, as Ai subsisted after the return from the captivity; see Ezra ii. 28 The men of Beth-el and Ai, two hundred twenty and three. It is supposed also, that the relation of the marriage of Achsah, daughter of Caleb, with Othniel the son of Kenaz, necessarily belongs to the time of the Judges; Josh. Xv. 16 - 19 as also the account of the capture of Leshem by the Danites; chap. Xix. 47, compared with Judges xviii. 7, 29.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book, a rich and in-depth historical account, follows Joshua, who leads the Israelites to conquer the Promised Land after Moses' death. Filled with detailed accounts of warfare and intrigue, the book is more than just a historical record; it's a narrative of the strength of faith and the power of God. The author masterfully positions this struggle within the broader context of the Israelites' biblical journey, tracing God's promise to Abraham through the wanderings in the desert and revealing the Israelites' failures and ultimate triumph. Through vivid descriptions of battles and Joshua's unwavering faith, the author deftly explores themes of trust, obedience, and the consequences of disobedience. A powerful and thought-provoking read, the book offers valuable insights into the nature of faith, the power of God, and the importance of obedience to His word.
