Episode notes
Joshua 10 Echoes The Ten Plagues
- Joshua 10 intentionally echoes Exodus and the Ten Plagues to link Israel’s conquest with God’s prior acts in Egypt.
- Chad argues the chapter’s imagery and language invite readers to read Joshua as a continuation of God’s plague-driven deliverance.
God, Not Israel, Is The Battle’s Agent
