Why did the Israelites circumcise all their men and observe Passover after crossing the Jordan (Joshua 5:2-12)?

Jericho is the most powerful of the Canaanite city-states at the time. Describe in your own words the battle of Jericho (Joshua 6).

Ai is among the weakest city-states at the time. The name Ai even means “dump.” Why then did Israel lose the first battle of Ai and win the second (Joshua 7–8)?

What did Joshua do wrong in his handling of the emissaries of the Gibeonites (Joshua 9)?

How did Joshua and the Israelites defeat the armies of southern (Joshua 10) and northern (Joshua 11) Canaan?

Read Joshua 13:1-7. Are you surprised that “very large areas of land” are still controlled by the Canaanites even after the conquest?

Read Joshua 15. Here the boundaries for the tribe of Judah are given. What is the significance for the original audience that such detailed descriptions of tribal allotments are given?

Why does Joshua lead Israel in a renewal of their covenantal commitment to the Lord at the end of his life (Joshua 24)?
