He was charged by Moses with selecting and commanding a militia group for their first battle after exiting Egypt, against the Amalekites in Rephidim, [25] in which they were victorious. Joshua was a major figure in the events of the Exodus. The Israelites are led by Joshua, the successor of Moses, and the book is at pains to show not only how Joshua carries on the work of Moses but how the “conquest” of Canaan is continuous with the exodus from Egypt. Joshua (Yehoshua in Hebrew) was Moses ’ successor who led the Israelites into the Promised Land. Like his predecessor, Joshua calls on the people to obey the terms of the covenant given to Israel at Mount Sinai that are found in the Torah. It highlights God’s faithfulness as the Israelites claim their inheritance. The author intentionally presents Joshua as a new Moses. Lacking experience in war, Joshua is sent by Moses to fight the Amalekites; when Joshua succeeds Moses, he leads the bloody conquest of Canaan. His story is told in the Old Testament Book of Joshua. Summary: Joshua documents the Israelites’ conquest of Canaan under Joshua’s leadership, following the death of Moses.
