or the continuation of the studies that we are
making of the different parts of the Old Testament,
let us to find out, this time, the books that
feature stories of the heroes of the Bible.
These accounts could be read in the 6th book of the
Old Testament, the Book of JOSHUA, which is believed
to have been written in the land of Canaan in 1450
BC.
This book is divided into three parts:
The first part contains the triumph of Israel in the
wars that they had fought. This part was further
divided into three episodes. The first episode deals
with the historic battle of Joshua in the land of
Canaan. This includes the destruction of Jericho,
which could be read in Chapter 6. On the other hand,
the second episode deals with Joshua's victory in
the war, when the sun and the moon stopped. And this
could be read in Chapter 10.
The second part of the Book of Joshua recounts how
Canaan was divided. This could be found from
chapters 13 to 22.
And the third part is about the farewell speech of
Joshua, including his death, which are contained in
chapters 23 and 24.
