Joshua, additionally spelled Josue, Hebrew Yehoshua -Yahweh is redemption , the head of the Israelite clans after the passing of Moses, who vanquished Canaan and circulated its territories to the 12 clans.
As per the scriptural book named after him, Joshua was the by and by delegated replacement to Moses and a charming champion who drove Israel in the victory of Canaan after the Exodus from Egypt. In the wake of sending spies into Canaan to write about the adversary's spirit, Joshua drove the Israelites in an intrusion across the Jordan River. He took the significant city of Jericho and afterward caught different towns in the north and south until the greater part of Palestine was brought under Israelite control. He split the vanquished lands between the 12 clans of Israel and afterward bade goodbye to his kin -Joshua 23, rebuking them to be faithful to the God of the contract.
A cautious perusing of important scriptural texts, animated by the investigation of outer assets, has driven researchers to an overall understanding that Israel didn't take Canaan through a solitary, thorough, determined arrangement of victory. It happened all the more steadily and all the more normally, through moderate invasion and assimilation. This moderately serene turn of events, which happened for years and years, arrived at its satisfaction in the ascent of David. Up to that point, generally, walled urban areas stayed in Canaanite hands. Regardless of whether these urban areas were demolished, as on account of Hazor -Joshua 11, Israel doesn't appear to have utilized them; David's control of Jerusalem was a first in this regard. The records of Joshua's missions -Joshua 10-11- appear to fit these real factors; they are records of attacks by a portable local area, moving ever toward the west, that inexorably established an awe-inspiring phenomenon in the open spaces between the walled urban areas.
