Joshua 22 - 24

The tribes taking up habitation on the Eastern side of the Jordan River are dismissed to their lands with the thanks of their fellow citizens. Upon their return, they establish an altar to remind their progeny of the connection they share with those on the opposite bank. Joshua commends the nation to following the Lord God Who had delivered them. The book begins with the nation encouraging Joshua to be strong and follow God; it ends with Joshua challenging the nation to be strong and follow God. The death of Joshua and the high priest are recorded. The next generation of Israelites are ready to take the stage. Would they be faithful?
