Document Summary
Textectomy: none of these explains the features exhaustively well, which is why there are 3 models: conquest- joshua. Infiltration/ immigration model- judges: revolt model- social scientific attempt. Herem: the ban, annihilate them, utterly destroy, put to the sword. Story of jericho: 5:13-7 is the real whole story of jericho. They go into a prostitutes house, giving yourself to other gods. Rehab represents and outsider who becomes an ultimate insider. ***scan textbook for geography: right by mediteranian sea is a huge section of plains that head to the sea and by the hills and lakes is more hilly. Philistines were in the plains, because of chariots. Joshua: 6:1 not the beginning of the battle because it uses participles/ continuation words. People stop following god, and they start losing their battles (1-2) the word judge means leader, usually military leader. People who are lifted up to lead armies. Judges were temporary, which is why they wanted a king.
