This is the end of a project begun in 2019 – a meditation on Genesis 1 through Judges 1 in attempt to understand the narrative threads that run through Caleb’s story. Those threads continue through Judges into David’s story and beyond.

As Joshua nears death, he admonishes Israel in similar language to Moses’, telling them to stay faithful to God, so they can remain in good relationship with him and continue to occupy the land.

What does it mean to be the image of God?
To represent him to his creation and intercede with him for it
We need to be doing those things now

“Then the whole congregation of the sons of Israel assembled at Shiloh, and set up the tent of meeting there; and the land was subdued before them.”
The use of “subdued” here appears a reference to Genesis 1’s command to “fill the land and subdue it.”
