Summary of the Book of Joshua

Author: The Book of Joshua does not explicitly name its author. More than likely Joshua the son of Nun, the successor of Moses as leader over Israel, penned much of this book. The latter part of the book was written by at least one other person after the death of Joshua. It is also possible that several sections were edited / compiled following Joshua’s death.
여호수아서 요약
저자: 여호수아서에는 저자의 이름이 명시되어 있지 않습니다. 모세의 뒤를 이어 이스라엘의 지도자가 된 눈의 아들 여호수아가 이 책의 대부분을 집필했을 가능성이 높습니다. 여호수아서의 후반부는 여호수아가 죽은 후 적어도 한 명 이상의 다른 사람이 저술했습니다. 여호수아 사후에 여러 섹션이 편집/편찬되었을 가능성도 있습니다.

Date of Writing: The Book of Joshua was likely written between 1400 and 1370 B.C.
기록 날짜: 여호수아서는 기원전 1400년에서 1370년 사이에 기록되었을 가능성이 높습니다.

Purpose of Writing: The Book of Joshua provides an overview of the military campaigns to conquer the land area that God had promised. Following the exodus from Egypt and the subsequent forty years of the wilderness wanderings, the newly-formed nation is now poised to enter the Promised Land, conquer the inhabitants, and occupy the territory. The overview that we have here gives abbreviated and selective details of many of the battles and the manner in which the land was not only conquered, but how it was divided into tribal areas.
기록 목적: 여호수아서는 하나님께서 약속하신 땅을 정복하기 위한 군사 작전에 대한 개요를 제공합니다. 이집트에서 출애굽한 후 40년간의 광야 방랑 끝에 새롭게 형성된 국가는 이제 약속의 땅에 들어가 주민들을 정복하고 그 영토를 점령할 준비가 되었습니다. 이 개요에서는 많은 전투와 땅을 정복한 방식뿐만 아니라 땅을 부족 지역으로 나눈 방식에 대한 간략하고 선별적인 세부 정보를 제공합니다.

Key Verses:
Joshua 1:6-9, "Be strong and courageous, because you will lead these people to inherit the land I swore to their forefathers to give them. Be strong and very courageous. Be careful to obey all the law my servant Moses gave you; do not turn from it to the right or to the left, that you may be successful wherever you go. Do not let this Book of the Law depart from your mouth; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful. Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go."
핵심 구절:
여호수아 1:6~9, "너는 이 백성을 이끌고 내가 그들의 조상들에게 주겠다고 맹세한 땅을 상속받게 될 것이니 강하고 용감하라. 강하고 용기를 내십시오. 내 종 모세가 너희에게 준 모든 율법을 잘 지키고, 그 율법에서 좌우로 치우치지 말고, 어디를 가든지 성공할 수 있도록 조심하여라. 이 율법책을 네 입에서 떠나지 말며, 주야로 그것을 묵상하여 그 안에 기록된 대로 다 지켜 행하게 하라. 그러면 너는 번영하고 성공할 것이다. 내가 너희에게 명령하지 않았느냐? 강하고 용감하라. 두려워하지 말고 낙심하지 말라, 너희의 하나님 여호와가 너희가 어디로 가든지 너희와 함께할 것이니, 너희는 두려워하지 말라."

Joshua 24:14-15, "Now fear the LORD and serve him with all faithfulness. Throw away the gods your forefathers worshiped beyond the River and in Egypt, and serve the LORD. But if serving the LORD seems undesirable to you, then choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your forefathers served beyond the River, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you are living. But as for me and my household, we will serve the LORD."
여호수아 24:14-15, "이제 너희는 여호와를 경외하고 신실하게 그를 섬기라. 너희 조상들이 강 저편과 이집트에서 섬기던 신들을 버리고 주님을 섬겨라. 그러나 주님을 섬기는 것이 마음에 들지 않으면, 너희 조상들이 강 저편에서 섬겼던 신들이나 너희가 살고 있는 땅 아모리 족속의 신들 가운데서 누구를 섬길지 오늘 스스로 선택해라. 그러나 나와 내 집은 여호와를 섬기겠습니다."

Brief Summary: The Book of Joshua continues the story of the Israelites after the exodus from Egypt. The book chronicles the approximately 20 years of Joshua’s leadership of the people after Moses anointed him at the end of Deuteronomy. The twenty-four chapter divisions of the Book of Joshua can be summarized as follows:
요약: 여호수아서에는 이집트에서 출애굽한 이스라엘 백성의 이야기가 이어집니다. 이 책은 신명기 말미에 모세가 여호수아에게 기름을 부은 후 약 20년 동안 여호수아가 백성들을 이끌었던 이야기를 기록하고 있습니다. 여호수아서의 24개 장은 다음과 같이 요약할 수 있습니다:
Chapters 1-12: Entering and conquering the Promised Land.
Chapters 13-22: Instructions for distributing the portions of the Promised Land.
Chapters 23-24: Joshua’s farewell address
1-12장: 약속의 땅에 들어가서 정복하기.
13~22장: 약속의 땅의 일부를 분배하는 방법.
23-24장: 여호수아의 고별 연설

Foreshadowings: The story of Rahab the harlot and her great faith in the God of the Israelites gives her a place with those honored for their faith in Hebrews 11:31. Hers is a story of God’s grace to sinners and salvation by faith alone. Most importantly, by God’s grace she was in the Messianic line (Matthew 1:5).
예표: 창녀 라합의 이야기와 이스라엘 백성의 하나님에 대한 그녀의 큰 믿음은 히브리서 11장 31절에 나오는 믿음으로 존경받는 사람들과 함께 자리하게 합니다. 라합의 이야기는 죄인을 향한 하나님의 은혜와 오직 믿음으로만 구원을 얻는 이야기입니다. 가장 중요한 것은 하나님의 은혜로 그녀는 메시아의 계보에 속했다는 사실입니다(마태복음 1:5).

One of the ceremonial rituals of Joshua 5 finds its perfect fulfillment in the New Testament. Verses 1-9 describe God’s commandment that those who were born in the wilderness were to be circumcised when they came into the Promised Land. By so doing, God “rolled away the reproach of Egypt” from them, meaning that He cleansed them from the sins of their former life. Colossians 2:10-12 describes believers as having been circumcised in their hearts by Christ Himself, by whom we have put off the sinful nature of our former lives without Christ.
여호수아 5장의 의식 의식 중 하나는 신약성경에서 완벽하게 성취된 것을 발견할 수 있습니다. 1-9절은 광야에서 태어난 사람들이 약속의 땅에 들어올 때 할례를 받으라는 하나님의 계명을 설명합니다. 그렇게 함으로써 하나님께서는 그들에게서 "애굽의 치욕을 없애셨다." 즉, 전생의 죄에서 그들을 깨끗하게 하셨다는 뜻입니다. 골로새서 2장 10~12절은 신자들이 그리스도께서 친히 마음에 할례를 베푸셨고, 그 할례를 통해 그리스도 없이 살았던 전생의 죄성을 벗어버렸다고 묘사합니다.

God established cities of refuge so that those who accidentally killed someone could live there without fear of retribution. Christ is our refuge to whom we “have fled to take hold of the hope offered to us” (Hebrews 6:18).
하나님은 실수로 사람을 죽인 사람들이 보복에 대한 두려움 없이 살 수 있도록 피난처 도시를 세우셨습니다. 그리스도는 우리가 "우리에게 주신 소망을 붙잡기 위해 피난한"(히브리서 6:18) 우리의 피난처이십니다.

The Book of Joshua has an overriding theological theme of rest. The Israelites, after wandering in the wilderness for 40 years, finally entered the rest God had prepared for them in the land of Canaan. The writer of Hebrews uses this incident as a warning to us not to let unbelief keep us from entering into God’s rest in Christ (Hebrews 3:7-12).
여호수아서는 안식이라는 가장 중요한 신학적 주제를 담고 있습니다. 이스라엘 백성은 40년 동안 광야에서 방황한 끝에 마침내 가나안 땅에서 하나님이 예비하신 안식에 들어갔습니다. 히브리서 저자는 이 사건을 통해 불신앙으로 인해 그리스도 안에 있는 하나님의 안식에 들어가지 못하는 일이 없도록 경고합니다(히브리서 3:7-12).

Practical Application: One of the key verses of the Book of Joshua is 1:8 “Do not let this Book of the Law depart from your mouth; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it.” The Old Testament is replete with stories of how the people “forgot” God and His Word and suffered terrible consequences. For the Christian, the Word of God is our lifeblood. If we neglect it, our lives will suffer accordingly. But if we take to heart the principle of verse 1:8, we will be complete and able to be of use in God’s kingdom (2 Timothy 3:16-17), and we will find that God’s promises in Joshua 1:8-9 will be ours as well.
실제 적용: 여호수아서의 핵심 구절 중 하나는 1:8 "이 율법책을 네 입에서 떠나지 말게 하며 주야로 그것을 묵상하여 그 가운데 기록한 대로 다 지켜 행하게 하라"입니다. 구약성경은 사람들이 하나님과 그분의 말씀을 '잊어버리고' 끔찍한 결과를 겪은 이야기로 가득합니다. 그리스도인에게 하나님의 말씀은 우리의 생명줄입니다. 말씀을 소홀히 하면 우리의 삶은 그에 따라 고통받게 됩니다. 그러나 1장 8절의 원리를 마음에 새긴다면 우리는 온전하여 하나님의 나라에서 쓰임받을 수 있을 것이며(딤후 3:16-17), 여호수아 1장 8~9절에 나오는 하나님의 약속이 우리의 약속이 될 수 있을 것입니다.

Joshua is a prime example of the benefits of a worthy mentor. For years he remained close to Moses. He watched Moses as he followed God in an almost flawless manner. He learned to pray in a personal way from Moses. He learned how to obey through the example of Moses. Joshua apparently also learned from the negative example that cost Moses the joy of actually entering the Promised Land. If you are alive, you are a mentor. Someone, somewhere, is watching you. Some younger person or someone that you are influencing is seeing how you live and how you react. Someone is learning from you. Someone will follow your example. Mentoring is far more than the words that are spoken by the mentor. His or her entire life is on display.
여호수아는 훌륭한 멘토가 주는 혜택을 보여주는 대표적인 예입니다. 그는 수년 동안 모세와 가까이 지냈습니다. 그는 모세가 거의 완벽한 방식으로 하나님을 따르는 모습을 지켜보았습니다. 그는 모세로부터 개인적인 방식으로 기도하는 법을 배웠습니다. 그는 모세의 모범을 통해 순종하는 법을 배웠습니다. 여호수아는 또한 모세가 약속의 땅에 실제로 들어가는 기쁨을 잃은 부정적인 본보기에서 교훈을 얻은 것 같습니다. 당신이 살아 있다면 당신은 멘토입니다. 누군가, 어딘가에서 여러분을 지켜보고 있습니다. 여러분이 영향을 주고 있는 젊은 사람이나 누군가가 여러분이 어떻게 살고 있는지, 어떻게 반응하는지 보고 있습니다. 누군가 당신에게서 배우고 있습니다. 누군가는 여러분의 모범을 따를 것입니다. 멘토링은 멘토가 하는 말 그 이상입니다. 멘토의 삶 전체가 드러나는 것입니다.

Joshua Summary
by Jay Smith

성경 요약
여호수아 요약
by 제이 스미스

The genre of the book of Joshua is Narrative History. It was authored by Joshua the leader of the Israelites circa 1405-1383 B.C. The key personalities are Joshua, Rahab, Achan, Phinehas, and Eleazar. It was written to assure the Israelites the Living God will reward obedience, and also to record the entrance and conquest of the promise land.

Joshua demonstrates his faith in God as He follows the orders given to Him and takes leadership of the nation. Joshua truly was “strong and courageous” (1:7).

여호수아서의 장르는 내러티브(이야기체) 역사서입니다. 여호수아서의 주요 인물은 여호수아, 라합, 아간, 비느하스, 엘르아살 등이며, 주전 1405~1383년경 이스라엘 민족의 지도자 여호수아가 저술했습니다. 이 책은 이스라엘 백성에게 살아계신 하나님께서 순종에 대한 보상을 주실 것이라는 확신을 심어주고, 약속의 땅으로 들어가 정복하는 과정을 기록하기 위해 쓰여졌습니다.
여호수아는 하나님이 주신 명령을 따르고 국가를 이끌면서 하나님에 대한 믿음을 보여줍니다. 여호수아는 진정으로 "강하고 용감한" 사람이었습니다(1:7).

•    In chapters 1-4, Joshua and the Israelites enter the promise land and in doing so we read of an amazing entry. As they arrive at the Jordan River, we find details of an incredible, miraculous crossing. God shows His incredible grace to a prostitute named Rahab, the ancestress of King David.

- 1장부터 4장까지는 여호수아와 이스라엘 백성이 약속의 땅으로 들어가는 장면으로, 그 과정에서 놀라운 일이 일어납니다. 요단강에 도착한 여호수아 일행은 놀랍고 기적적인 도강에 대한 자세한 내용을 알게 됩니다. 하나님께서는 다윗 왕의 조상인 라합이라는 창녀에게 놀라운 은혜를 베푸십니다.

•    Then in chapters 5-12, Joshua follows God’s orders and first conquers the central of the promise land. This includes the unlikely manner in which they conquer the grand fortress of Jericho. God alone moved and conquered this impossible achievement. Ai was the next town and although it took two tries, the first due to sin in the camp, on the second attempt God again moved and dominated. Next, the Israelites occupied the southern land and then the northern land to complete the occupancy; however, although they controlled the region, they never did completely conquer it.

- 그런 다음 5-12장에서 여호수아는 하나님의 명령을 따라 약속의 땅의 중심부를 먼저 정복합니다. 여기에는 웅장한 요새 여리고를 정복하는 예상치 못한 방식이 포함됩니다. 오직 하나님만이 이 불가능한 업적을 성취하시고 이루셨습니다. 다음 도시 아이는 두 번의 시도가 있었지만, 첫 번째는 진영의 죄로 인해 실패했지만, 두 번째 시도에서 하나님은 다시 진군하여 지배하셨습니다. 그 후 이스라엘 백성들은 남쪽 땅을 점령한 후 북쪽 땅을 점령하여 점령을 완료했지만, 그 지역을 통제하기는 했지만 완전히 정복하지는 못했습니다.

•    Finally, in chapters 13-24, the land is divided up and distributed among the tribes of Israel. Some of the larger cities are placed aside for the Levitical priests who did not receive a portion of land, due to their duties. Lastly, Joshua dies but before he passes he gives one of the greatest challenges that lasts for all generations including our own, “Choose for yourselves today whom you will serve...as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD” (24:15).

- 마지막으로 13-24장에서는 땅을 분할하여 이스라엘 지파들에게 분배합니다. 의무 때문에 땅을 받지 못한 레위 제사장들을 위해 큰 도시 중 일부는 따로 떼어 놓습니다. 마지막으로 여호수아는 죽기 전에 "너희는 오늘 너희가 섬길 자를 스스로 택하라... 나와 내 집은 여호와를 섬기겠노라"(24:15)라는 우리 세대를 포함한 모든 세대에 지속될 가장 큰 도전을 남깁니다.
