1. What does God command Joshua in Joshua 1:7?
2. After Joshua obeyed all of God’s commands in Joshua 1-2, what does Joshua 3:7 say?
3. God’s exalting Joshua in front of the Israelites was important because they previously wanted to stone Joshua (Numbers 14:10). Joshua bravely took on the mantle of leading his people because he remembered God’s faithfulness in times past, and was sure God is trustworthy to do what He says. But now, how does Judges 2:2-3 show God’s justice when the people broke the covenant terms?
4. Apparently, the Israelites learned their lesson, because Judges 2:6-7 says they went ahead and took possession of the land God had sworn to their forefathers would be theirs. They lived faithfully to God’s covenant terms and lived in peace until Joshua’s death in verse 8. But after the current generation passed, the next generation forgot the Lord, and did evil. What does Judges 2:13b-14 say happened to them?
5. Disobeying the Lord never works out well. How does Judges 2:15 say the Israelites fared after that?
