    A Study of the Book of Joshua Sermon # 6 “THERE IS NO SUCH THING

    A Study of the Book of Joshua Sermon # 6 “THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A SECRET SIN” Joshua 7:1-26 The seventh chapter of Joshua opens with the ominous word “but.” The use of the little conjunction of contrast is designed to drive home the reality that victory is often followed by the threat of defeat. Suddenly we are presented with a series of failures that stand in striking contrast to the victories of the past six chapters. Israel had just experienced a miraculous victory over Jericho, “but” now they are going to experience defeat. The gladness of victory was soon replaced by the gloom of defeat, all this because of the disobedience of one man. This story has much to teach about the devastating effects of sin. “But the children of Israel committed a trespass regarding the accursed things, for Achan the son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, took of the accursed things; so the anger of the LORD burned against the children of Israel. (2) Now Joshua sent men from Jericho to Ai, which is beside Beth Aven, on the east side of Bethel, and spoke to them, saying, “Go up and spy out the country.” So the men went up and spied out Ai. (3) And they returned to Joshua and said to him, “Do not let all the people go up, but let about two or three thousand men go up and attack Ai. Do not weary all the people there, for the people of Ai are few.” (4) So about three thousand men went up there from the people, but they fled before the men of Ai.

    New American Commentary1 Joshua 7-8 2. Covenant Disobedience (7:1–26) The account in this chapter is organically bound up with that in the following chapter (8:1–29), so much so that many scholars subsume both chapters under one heading. The sin that Achan committed, its consequences for the nation, and the process of discovery and punishment of the sin are all related here. The defeat at the hands of the men of Ai here is followed by victory over these same men in chap. 8. The victory was made possible because of the cleansing of the nation that had been defiled by Achan's sin. Several parallels exist between the accounts in Joshua 2 and 7. In Joshua 2, Rahab, a believing Canaanite, acted faithfully and, as a result, was promised deliverance from destruction. In effect, she became an Israelite. In Joshua 7, Achan, a disbelieving Israelite, acted faithlessly and, as a result, was not delivered but destroyed. In effect, he became a Canaanite. Achan thus stands as a foil to Rahab, and the two characters embody striking contrasts. (1) The Sin (7:1) 1But the Israelites acted unfaithfully in regard to the devoted things; Achan son of Carmi, the son of Zimri, the son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, took some of them. So the LORD's anger burned against Israel. 7:1 This verse is a transition between the story of the conquest of Jericho and that of the defeat at Ai. It anticipates for the reader the information that emerges in more detail throughout the chapter, especially in vv.

    Notes on Joshua 202 1 Edition Dr

    Notes on Joshua 202 1 Edition Dr. Thomas L. Constable TITLE The name of this book in Hebrew, Greek, and English comes from the principal character in it—Joshua—rather than from the writer. Joshua may or may not have been the writer of this book. The title is appropriate because "Joshua" means: "Yahweh saves." "Joshua" is the Hebrew name that translates into Aramaic as "Jesus." What Jesus is to God's people in a larger sense, Joshua was to the Israelites in a smaller sense. Joshua brought God's people into the realization of many of God's plans and purposes for them. This book is a record of God's deliverance of the Israelites into what He had promised them. In the English Bible, Joshua is one of the historical books (Genesis through Esther). In the Hebrew Bible, however, it is in the second of the three main divisions of the Old Testament, namely, the Prophets. (The Law and the Writings are the first and third divisions of the Hebrew Bible.) Joshua is the first book in the first half of the Prophets, called the "Former Prophets." The Former Prophets section contains four books (Joshua, Judges, Samuel, and Kings), as does the second division, the "Latter Prophets" (Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, and the Twelve [minor prophets]). The fact that the Hebrews included mainly historical books, such as Joshua, in the Prophets section, reveals a basic attitude of God's people. They viewed what God revealed here not primarily as a historical record, as much as an authoritative record of selected historical events designed to teach important spiritual lessons.1 We should therefore recognize Joshua, not 1See Eugene H.

    1 Trouble with Real Canaanites Joshua 6:22-25; 7:1-12 August 26 th ,2012 Dan Hoffman In October 2011 contestants from around the world gathered in Warsaw Poland for the internationally acclaimed Scrabble World Cup. But things turned sour in a tight match up between two of the leading players. Ed Martin from England had won his game against his opponent by a staggering one point. The only problem – a “G” tile had gone missing. Martin denied taking the tile at which point his opponent demanded that the judges take him to the washroom to be searched. 1 Apparently it is even hard for world class Scrabble players to spell defeat. Please open your Bibles to Joshua 6:22. Today our text spans two battles. The battle of Jericho is just finishing and the battle for the city of Ai has just begun. But while the story of Jericho is a story of victory and seeing God move Ai is a story of how God’s people deal with defeat and despair. So turn with me to Joshua 6:22 [Read Joshua 6:22-25; 7:1-12] [Pray] The attack on Ai 1.) The stories of Jericho and Ai are meant to be read together. And the hinge verse between them is chapter 7 verse 1 which starts with the word “but” and contrasts the two battles. We will come back to that verse in a minute, but for now let’s look at verse two and the attack of Ai. [Read Joshua 7:2] If you were here last week you will notice several similarities between this story and the story of Jericho.

  • Wholehearted- the Book of Joshua

    Field Manual Wholehearted- The Book of Joshua By Teaching Pastor, Andy Savage INTRODUCTION Something does not make sense to me… the God of the universe has clearly given us His purposes with the promise of great bless- ing, yet we are so often half-hearted in our pursuit of those purposes. This study is designed to get to the heart of wholehearted pursuit of God’s purposes. Are you wholehearted in your commitment to the purposes of God? I believe the life story of Joshua and specifically his leadership of the Israelites into the Promised Land is a case study in wholehearted commitment to God’s purposes. This “field manual” gives you the opportunity to study the entire book of Joshua in a way that helps you marry whole- hearted commitment with the clear, Biblical purposes of God. I think we can all admit that it is our tendency is to limit the work of God in our lives either by our half-hearted commitment to His purposes or by abandoning His purposes all together. Make no mistake - pursuing God’s purposes is no small task. Right now there are many things that exist in your life that keep you from the brave pursuit of God’s purposes. Over the next 21 days you will face the fear and discouragement in your faith and discover areas of your life that needs changing or thrown away. Joshua is one of the great men of God in scripture. God used him in a mighty way to literally deliver the Prom- ised Land to the Jewish nation.

Now then, you and all these people, get ready to cross the Jordan River into the land I am about to give to them—to the Israelites. 3 I will give you every place where you set your foot, as I promised Moses. 4 Your territory will extend from the desert to Lebanon, and from the great river, the Euphrates—all the Hittite country—to the Mediterranean Sea in the west. 5 No one will be able to stand against you all the days of your life. As I was with Moses, so I will be with you; I will never leave you nor forsake you. 6 Be strong and courageous, because you will lead these people to inherit the land I swore to their ancestors to give them. 7 “Be strong and very courageous. Be careful to obey all the law my servant Moses gave you; do not turn from it to the right or to the left, that you may be successful wherever you go. 8 Keep this Book of the Law always on your lips; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful. 9 Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous.
  • The Achan/Achor Traditions: the Parody of Saul As “Achan” in 1 Samuel 14:24–15:351

    The Achan/Achor Traditions: the Parody of Saul As “Achan” in 1 Samuel 14:24–15:351

    730 Michael, “Achan/Achor Traditions,” OTE 26/3 (2013): 730-760 The Achan/Achor Traditions: The Parody of Saul 1 as “Achan” in 1 Samuel 14:24–15:35 MATTHEW MICHAEL (STELLENBOSCH UNIVERSITY) ABSTRACT Within the cultic memory of ancient Israel, Achan is traditionally conceived as the villain par excellence, who according to the Dtr, took from the ~rx ban and brought about a decisive military defeat for Israel. By drawing salient parallels between Achan and Saul, the narrator of 1 Sam 14:24–15:35 employs the popular Achan traditions in his scathing polemics against the Saulides. Consequently, the narrator leaves literary clues within the text itself that point to his representation of Saul as Achan, and subtly reveal the “parodic intent” of these materials. Unfortunately, past studies have not fully engaged the “parodic” nature of this pericope, and hence have largely failed to note its narrative significance. A INTRODUCTION Parody is an important literary technique and its powerful effect lies pri- marily in its humorous and critical spirit.2 This is readily seen in some of the world’s masterpieces in parody. For example, George Orwell’s Animal Farm, Jonathan Swift’s, Gulliver’s Travels and Miguel Cervantes’ Don Quixote have universally become staple classics in the description of par- ody.3 To this list, one could also add, Mark Twain’s Huckleberry Finn or Ernest Hemingway’s The Old Man and the Sea.
