Series VI, Cycle A
The book of Joshua tells of Israel's conquest of Canaan, which appears to climax the long opening story of the Bible. In Genesis, God promises to give the land of Canaan to the descendants of Abraham, the people of Israel. Four hundred years of slavery in Egypt intervened. Then came Moses and delivery from bondage, but Israel wandered about in the wilderness long enough for an entire generation to die out and a new generation to take their place.
