Joshua 7
[MEST] Joshua 7
Study Guide
[Group Activity]
At the end of chapter 6, we see God working through Joshua to pronounce a curse to be put on anyone who tries to rebuild Jericho. (1 Kings 16:34) Think of any other curses talked about in the bible (split into groups and use bibles to try to find examples) >
[READ] Joshua 7 >
Even after all the Isrealites have been through and all God has done for them, here we see that the Isrealites are again unfaithful to God. Why?
Strong contrasts can be made between Rahab’s story and Achan’s .... Discuss.
One man’s sin effected the whole nation, as 3000 Isrealites are defeated at Ai. Is that fair?
Just like in chapter 3, when the Isrealites crossed the Jordan and set up a stone monument. Here we see them doing the same at the site of Achan’s execution. Why?

After quite a good run of doing what they are supposed to, the Isrealites now start to slip back into their stupid ways.
How would Joshua be feeling after his men were defeated at Ai?
How would Achan have been feeling as Joshua becomes closer and closer to finding him guilty?
How do you feel about Achan’s punishment? Do you think it is harsh, fair or unfair?

Joshua 6
[MEST] Joshua 6
Study Guide
This is one of THE big events in Old Testament history.
It even gets a mention in one of my favourite chapters in the New Testament, Hebrews 11 [30-31].
[READ] Joshua 6 >
This was such a MASSIVE ask and with a seemingly ridiculous method. How could walking, shouting and playing brass destroy a city?
Verses 3-6 offer very direct instructions, ending with the command for everyone to “go straight in”. What does this tell us of the nature of the siege? Psychologically, what effects would this have on the Isrealites? And the people of Jericho?
What is at the centre of verse 8-14 and why?
Verse 23 shows the 2 spies going to fetch out Rahab and all her family. What might Rahab have thaught when she heard the siege on Jericho, felt the walls collapse, and saw these 2 soldiers in full-armour bursting into her home?
[Group Discussion]
This curse on Jericho wasn’t just a threat or empty words, when God cursed something (or someone cursed something in God’s name) it was SERIOUS [1 Kings 16:34]. Can you think of any other examples of curses from God?
