Scouts brought back a cluster of huge grapes, with tales of gigantic people in Canaan. The Children of Israel were afraid. Plus, water was hard to come by. And then Aaron died. When the people complained, the Lord sent vipers. Moses, too, approached death. He passed on the job of leading the people home to Joshua.

As the time approached, Moses told the Children of Israel their history, from Abraham on. He repeated the laws and Commandments. He gave them courage to cross the River Jordan and claim the promised land, despite their fears of giant Canaanites. He called forth Joshua, his assistant, and lay his hands upon his head, giving him wisdom so Joshua could lead the people. Then, on the west side of the River Jordan, he died with a whisper from God. God buried him in Moab. Never again would there be a prophet like Moses who God knew face-to-face.

At this point, of the adults who had left Egypt, only two remained: Joshua and Caleb.

In all, the Children of Israel had wandered 40 years in the wilderness. They needed to go home; Joshua would finish the job.
