Notes

Joshua 10:41

This Goshen was not the region in Egypt’s Nile River delta (Genesis 47:27). It was a town in the hill country south of Jerusalem (Joshua 15:51). The area from Goshen as far as Gibeon marks the eastern boundary of Joshua’s southern campaign.

Joshua 10:1–43

Gibeon and its neighboring cities were on a plateau (high flat place) north of Jerusalem (see study note on 7:2). With Gibeon now as an ally with Israel, Israel controlled the plateau and the central hill country near Gibeon. Historically, controlling the plateau often meant controlling the hill country. The kings of Canaan had to conquer Gibeon, or they would fail.

Joshua 7:1–12:24

This second major section of the book records Joshua's southern and northern campaigns against two coalitions of kings from Canaan. Joshua's victories allowed Israel to settle the hill country from Galilee in the north to the Negev in the south.
