约书亚记第一课：约书亚开始征服迦南地：约书亚记第一章至第四章
以色列人准备进入征服迦南地。领袖不再是摩西乃是约书亚。一百万以上个人怎么能够一时过汛期的约旦河呢？
一。约书亚记一章：神命令约书亚征服迦南：约书亚记1:1-9：神向约书亚讲了很多鼓励他的话。神向他说些什么呢？神怎么样与约书亚同在？“…我怎样与___ ___同在，也必照样与___同在…”。神不要什么话离开约书亚的口？
约书亚1:10-18：约书亚吩咐众人准备过约旦河：谁要过河，谁要留在河的东边？百姓如何肯定他们以约书亚为他们的领袖？“…我们从前在一切事上怎样听从___ ___，现在也必照样听从___…”。（注意：希伯来文的“约书亚”翻成希腊文就是“耶稣”。旧约的约书亚和新约的耶稣基督有些相同的地方。）
二。约书亚记二章：探子进耶利哥：你认为密探为什么选择去妓女家？妓女名叫什么？请述说探子怎么没有被王的使者发现。喇合告诉密探她及所有的耶利哥城的市民都听过什么？因此，耶利哥城的市民都觉得怎么样？8-9节：喇合说她知道何事？以她的多神论的背景来说，喇合说了一句很不简单的话，描述耶和华神，是什么？“…耶和华你们的神，本是___ ___ ___ ___的神”。请述说喇合和探子的“合同”和计划。密探回到约书亚那里，给他什么报告？新约马太福音一章五节提到一位喇合，大概是这位女士。如果是她，喇合就是谁的祖先？
三。约书亚记三章：以色列人过约旦河：约旦河虽然有名，除非汛期外，河不宽。以色列人准备过河，刚好是汛期。至少有多少人要过河？（民数记26:51, 62。）5节：“约书亚吩咐百姓说：你们要自___，因为明天耶和华必在你们中间行___ ___”。请描述次日百姓所看到的。百姓不可以靠近约柜；他们要远离它多远？13节：“ 等到抬普天下主耶和华约柜的___ ___把___站在___ ___ ___ ___ ___…”。14-17节：请描述清楚那河水就怎么样。请参看圣经地图，指示出水丛集（“立起成垒”）的地方。这样，神使得以色列人走___ ___到对岸。所以，以色列人平安地进入了迦南地，就如神早给谁的应许。请参看：1）创始记15:12-19；2）出埃及记3:7-8。
四。约书亚记四章：立石为记：国民过了约旦河后，神叫约书亚立什么样的石碑为了纪念此事？6, 22节：此纪念碑主要是给谁看的？22-24节：“…要使___ ___ ___ ___都知道，耶和华的手___ ___ ___ ___，也要使你们永远___ ___耶和华你们的神”。当天，“耶和华使约书亚在以色列众人眼前___ ___，在他平生的日子，百姓敬畏他，象从前敬畏___ ___一样”。

Joshua/01: Joshua Begins to Subdue Canaan
Joshua chapters 1-4
1. Joshua ch. 1: God Commands Joshua to Conquer Canaan: Joshua 1:1-9: God greatly encouraged Joshua; what did he say? How was God with Joshua? “As I was with M_____, so I will be with y___.” What did God not want to “depart” from Joshua’s mouth? Joshua 1:10-18: Joshua instructed the community to prepare to cross the Jordan River. Who was to cross over and who was to remain on the east side? In what way did the community affirm Joshua as their leader? “…Just as we fully obeyed M_____, so we will obey y___.” (Note: the Hebrew word “Joshua” when translated into Greek is “Jesus.” There are some similarites between the Joshua of the Old Testament and Jesus Christ in the New Testament.)
2. Joshua ch. 2: Spies Enter Jericho: Why do you think the spies went to the house of a prostitute? What was the name of the prostitute? Explain why the spies were not found by the king’s messengers. What did Rahab tell the spies that she and everyone in Jericho had heard? Consequently, everyone in Jericho was a______. Vs. 8f: What did Rahab say that she knew? Considering that she came from the background of polytheism, Rahab made a very surprising statement regarding the LORD God; what did she say? “the LORD your God is God in h______ a_____ and on the e______ b______.” Describe the “agreement” and the plan that Rahab and the spies made. What kind of report did the spies give when they returned to Joshua? Mathew chapter one, verse five, mentions a Rahab, who almost certainly is this same person. If so, then Rahab was whose ancestor?
3. Joshua ch. 3: The Israelites Cross the Jordan: Although the Jordan River is famous, it is not a wide river, except when at flood stage. When the Israelites prepared to cross, it was at flood stage. In the least, how many people were to cross the river (Num. 26:51, 62)? Vs. 5: “C__________ yourselves, for tomorrow the LORD will do a________ t______ among you.” Describe what the people saw the next day. The community should not get close to the ark of the covenant; how far were they to stay from it? “…the p_______ who carry the ark of the LORD–the Lord of all the earth–set f_____ i__ the J_______, its w_______” will (do what)? Look at a map and show where the waters piled up. In this way, God enabled the Israelites to walk to the opposite shore on d___ g______. In this way, the Israelites peacefully entered Canaan, just as God had promised long before. To whom had God made such a promise? 1) Gen. 15:12-19; 2) Ex. 3:7-8.
4. Joshua ch. 4: A Monument is Built: After the Israelites crossed the Jordan River, what kind of stone monument did God tell Joshua to build in memory of this event? Vs. 6, 22: For whom especially was this monument built? Vs. 22-24: “…He did this so that a___ the p_______ of the e_____ might know that the hand of the LORD is p________ and so that you might always f_____ the LORD your God.” That day, “the LORD e_______ Joshua in the sight of all Israel; and they revered him all the days of his life, just as they had revered M______.”
