Joshua 23 worksheet
[MEST] Joshua 23
Worksheet >
[Additional reading > Ex. 34:15-16 / Deut. 7:2-4 / 2 Cor.6]
“Final farewells”
With such a group of influential characters around, Joshua could have easily taken credit for Isreal’s success, but he gave all the credit to God.
[Read Joshua 23]
Joshua is now about 110 years old and knows he’s not got long left. How would you feel if you were in Joshua’s place, knowing you were about to die? What would be your worries or concerns?
In verses 4 – 8, Joshua talks about being careful not to be “unequally yoked”. Not joining with non-believers. Throughout the bible there are loads of examples of how bad things happen when we ignore this. Can you think of any?

The transJordan tribes called this alter a “witness”. What is it a witness to?
