Observation:
Read through Joshua 5
Read through again and mark references to Joshua, Lord/God, circumcised/circumcision, manna
Ask yourself the following questions and write your answers in your journal:
- What does God call Joshua to do?
- Why?
- When and where are the people when this happens?
- What else do you see happening in this chapter?
- What happens with the manna? Why?
Interpretation:
Why was it so important for the men to be circumcised? Look up the following verses and write down what you learn about circumcision:
- Genesis 17:10-14,22-27
- Exodus 4:24-26
Taking in what you have learned from these verses, why is it important that the men are circumcised?
Look up Exodus 16 and write down what you learn about the manna the children of Israel were eating.
Read Exodus 3 and write down how what you see in Exodus 3 connects to what is happening at the end of Joshua 5.
Application:
What is the Lord showing you in His Word about Himself, how He works, how He takes care of His people? Write down your thoughts in your journal.
