Here, we see the beginnings of a beautiful fulfillment of God’s promise to the Israelites: the Promised Land. A long, exhausting, and challenging journey for God’s chosen people is finally concluding with the entering of their prize granted to them by the very hands of God. And it is Joshua who is the one to lead the Israelites into this Promised Land, the land that God provided to them as a “place of rest” [v. 13].
