Joshua 22:4
22:4 Now the
Lord your God has made your fellow Israelites secure,
1 just as he promised them. So now you may turn around and go to your homes
2 in your own land
3 which Moses the
Lord’s servant assigned to you east of the Jordan.
Joshua 23:1
Joshua Challenges Israel to be Faithful
23:1 A long time 4 passed after the Lord made Israel secure from all their enemies, 5 and Joshua was very old. 6
Hebrews 4:8-11
4:8 For if Joshua had given them rest, God
7 would not have spoken afterward about another day.
4:9 Consequently a Sabbath rest remains for the people of God.
4:10 For the one who enters God’s
8 rest has also rested from his works, just as God did from his own works.
4:11 Thus we must make every effort to enter that rest, so that no one may fall by following the same pattern of disobedience.
