Joshua 7-24

Hendriksen's summary of the book is interesting:
(1v2) 'Arise, go over this jordan' - This takes place over chapters 1-4
(1v5) 'No man shall be able to stand before you...' - Israel conquers the land in chapters 5-12
(1v6) '...you shall cause this people to inherit the land...' - the land is divided between the twelve tribes in chapters 13-22
(1v7) '...do according to all the law...' - In chapters 23 and 24, Joshua emphasizes Israel's obligation to worship and love Jehovah

(23v10) 'One man of you puts to flight a thousand, since it is the Lord you God who fights for you, just as He promised you.' - a good verse to remember when you're just about to preach.
