Joshua 4:1-24
Key Verse: 4:23 “For the Lord your God dried up the Jordan before you until you had crossed over. The Lord your God did to the Jordan just what he had done to the Red Sea when he dried it up before us until we had crossed over.”
- After the whole nation had crossed the Jordan, what did the Lord tell Joshua to do? (1-3)
- What did Joshua tell the twelve men to do and why? (4-9) How were these twelve stones to help in the education of future generations? Why must they remember the crossing of the Jordan?
- What were the priests carrying the ark of the covenant doing? (10-13) (Put yourself in their places!) Why did the men of Reuben, Gad and the half-tribe of Manasseh go in front of the people?
- How did God exalt Joshua? (14-18) Why was this important? When did the priests carrying the ark of the covenant come up out of the water? What can we learn from them?
- What lesson in history did Joshua teach? (21-24) What did he teach about God? Why is it necessary to have a sense of God’s history?
