Who Goes First?

Name Date

Read the Story

Joshua had died. God's people asked God a question. Who should go up first to fight the Canaanites?

God said Judah should go. Judah went, and God was with them. They took many towns. Caleb gave his daughter Achsah to Othniel. She asked her dad for springs of water. He gave her two springs.

But some tribes did not drive the Canaanites out. They let them stay in the land. God had told them to drive them out.

Memory Verse

Yahweh said, “Judah shall go up. Behold, I have delivered the land into his hand.”
