The Book of Joshua describes how the Jews believed Joshua led the Israelites into Canaan, conquering and destroying Canaanite cities as he went.
A fragmentary, earlier account in the Book of Judges describes how Caleb destroyed the very same Canaanite cities as the Book of Joshua says that Joshua attacked and totally destroyed.
H. G. M. Williamson (The World of Ancient Israel, The concept of Israel in transition) says that various recent scholars agree that lsrael emerged peacefully in the the Palestinian hinterland as an inevitable consequence of the economic and social decline of late bronze age Canaan coinciding with the development of new agricultural techniques which enabled increasing numbers to withdraw from the city states and start settling in the hitherto sparsely populated hill country of Judah and Israel. F. S. Frick (The World of Ancient Israel, Israel as a tribal society) says that the hypothesis that the Israelites came from outside Canaan, peacefully or otherwise, has largely been abandoned. There was no biblical conquest.
The Assyrians conquered Israel, the northern Kingdom in the 600s BCE and forcibly removed the native inhabitants from their homes and communities. This resulted in the Ten Lost Tribes, whose location and connection to Judaism is unknown. When the Babylonians destroyed the first Great Temple in 586 BCE, they forcibly removed the upper-class of Judea to Babylon (a city in Iraq). Nearly 70 years later, Cyrus the Great of Persia allowed the Judeans to return to Canaan and rebuild the Great Temple. When religious zealots rose up against Rome in the 60s CE, the Romans destroyed the Second Great Temple and forcibly exiled the Jews from Judea to prevent them from rising up against Roman authority. Nobody ever "led" the Jews in a peaceful manner out of their homeland.
The promised land of the Israelites was Canaan, the land that God had promised to Abraham and his descendants. The Israelites returned to the promised land after being led by Moses through the Exodus, where they wandered in the desert for 40 years before finally entering Canaan under the leadership of Joshua.
Joshua was the leader of the Israelites after the death of Moses. It was him that led them across the Jordan River into the promised land (Canaan.)
Joshua led the Israelites into Canaan.
Canaan (Israel) is the land that God promised to Abraham (Genesis ch.17), to Isaac (Genesis ch.26), to Jacob (Genesis ch.28), and to Jacob's descendants the Israelites (Exodus ch.6). The promise was fulfilled when Joshua led the Israelites into Canaan (Joshua ch.3-4) and they inherited it.
Here the two people only from Egypt to see the promised land were Joshua and Moses. Please kindly note Even though Moses was not allowed to set his foot in the promised land of Canaan , he was shown the land by God from a far distance.
Joshua.
Joshua was commissioned to lead God's people into Canaan after the death of Moses. God instructed Joshua to be strong and courageous, promising to be with him just as He was with Moses. Joshua successfully led the Israelites across the Jordan River and into the Promised Land.
The Exodus Landmark refers to a site in the Bible where the Israelites were led by Moses to escape slavery in Egypt and journey to the promised land of Canaan. It symbolizes freedom from oppression and the fulfillment of God's promise to his people.
Moses led the Israelites through the desert for more than 40 years, but it was actually Joshua who led them into the Promise Land because Moses had disobeyed God and was forbidden to enter.
Joshua served under Moses: He was a leader of the Israelites in battle (Exodus 17) and with Moses when he received the 10 Commandments atop the mountain. (Exodus 32) He was the son of Nun (Numbers 11) and was one of only two -out of ten- men sent in to examine the Promised Land who came back with a favorable report. (Numbers 13) He was appointed by God to succeed Moses as leader of the Israelites (Numbers 27).
