Week 68, Day 3: Joshua’s warning
Today’s Reading: Joshua 23:1-16
Some thoughts from today’s reading…
Joshuas is nearing death. He gathers Israel to give them some last words of warning. Joshua is very aware of the trouble that surrounds Israel. They have many of the inhabitants of the land now living relatively close to the sons of Israel. There will be the temptation to interact with and be influenced by these people. Joshua gives Israel a strong warning not to associate with them, don’t adopt their gods, and don’t intermarry with them. They were to be firm. Not yielding or straying from God’s commands. The consequence for not obeying would be disaster.
Question: What does it mean when Joshua says in verse 14 that he is going the way of all the earth?
