Joshua 5-8 | Judging an Israelite and Forgiving a Canaanite
Joshua 5-8 is part of the larger narrative of the Israelites' conquest of the Promised Land under the leadership of Joshua. The story describes the preparation of the Israelites, their first successful conquest, their failure, and their subsequent victory.
In Joshua 5, the Israelites prepared themselves before their campaign to conquer Canaan. They circumcised themselves and celebrated the Passover before beginning their conquest.
In Joshua 6, the Israelites capture the city of Jericho by marching around it and blowing their trumpets, causing the walls to collapse.
In Joshua 7, the Israelites are defeated in their attempt to capture the city of Ai due to the sin of Achan, who had stolen forbidden items from Jericho. Achan and his family are stoned to death for their disobedience.
Finally, in Joshua 8, the Israelites successfully capture the city of Ai after tricking its inhabitants by leaving it seemingly undefended and ambushing them from behind. They then built an altar to the Lord and renewed their covenant with Him.
The contrast between Rahab and Achan shows us the importance of obedience to God's commands. Rahab, a non-Israelite prostitute, demonstrated faith in God by helping the Israelite spies and was forgiven for her past sins. Achan, an Israelite who knew God's commands, disobeyed and suffered severe consequences for his actions. In this way, the story of Joshua 5-8 teaches us the importance of faith and obedience in our relationship with God.
