Joshua
Joshua was Moses' personal aide and military commander. This Book stands at the beginning
of the Jewish scriptural collection known as the Former Prophets, and is believed to be
mostly written by Joshua himself. The book is considered the first of the
Historical Books of the English Bible, because it traces the record of
the children of Israel from the shores of the Jordan River to the
conquest and division of the land of Canaan. It closes with an
account of the aged Joshua's farewell speeches. The events listed span
some 40 years, from c. 1407-1367 B.C.
