Indeed, time-wise it really only covers the three days that it took to prepare for the crossing and then the cross. Distance-wise, it only covers a […]

Application Notes Application Joshua 2 is an interesting study in leadership. While the rest of the Israelites prepared to cross the river, Joshua dispatches two unnamed spies to survey the promise land, focusing on the first strategic challenge the Israelites would face: Jericho.
