Guiding Questions: Joshua 23

Exploring Judaism

This is part of the Tanakh Yomi Project.

How does the final peroration of Joshua compare to the final statement of Mosheh (aside, of course, from the overall length of the remarks) in terms of content?
Do his remarks indicate that “work remains to be done”?
What does Joshua fear might lead to the “desertion” of the Israelites by Divinity and what will ensure that this desertion will not take place?
How specific is Joshua in terms of conduct mandates (mitzvot) either apodictic or casuistic?
