Joshua 8 · Grade 2

Joshua Reads to Everyone

Name Date

Read the Story

God told Joshua not to be afraid. He told him to go up to Ai. God said He had given it to him. This time Israel obeyed God's plan, and God gave them the city.

Then Joshua built an altar to God on Mount Ebal. It was made of stones. No one had cut them with iron.

Joshua wrote God's law on the stones. Then he read all of it to the people. The women heard it. The little ones heard it. People from other lands heard it too.

Memory Verse

“There was not a word of all that Moses commanded which Joshua didn’t read before all the assembly of Israel, with the women, the little ones, and the foreigners who were among them.”

Joshua 8:35 (WEB)
