(Jehovah the Savior, in Greek “Jesus”)
Conquest and dependence to maintain the establishing of Israel in the promised land by the way of Jordan (death and resurrection with Christ as in Col.); and Gilgal, (the place of power, by “no confidence in the flesh” but “strong in the Lord and the power of His might” through self-judgment); circumcision (Col. 2:11) and conflict (Eph. 6) testing their obedience and dependence to conquer and maintain in divine power. It is the Ephesians of the Old Testament.
B.C. 1451-1427, a period of 26 years.
Author, evidently Joshua, excepting the last five verses, probably added by Ezra.
