Yehoshua, or Joshua in English, took over leadership of the Israelites from Moshe (Moses) and lead them into the land of Israel. Please see the related link for additional information.
Its a man called, Joshua. You can read the bible in the book of Exodus to prove my answer.
The leadership of Israel fell on the shoulders of Joshua. At first he was scared wether the Isareal would listen to him now that Moses was dead. But God told Joshua to be brave and courages for I am with you.Joshua chapter1 verse 6.
Moses picked Joshua to lead the people after his death as commanded by the LORD. Deut 3:28 But commission Joshua, and encourage and strengthen him, for he will lead this people across and will cause them to inherit the land that you will see. See also last chapter in Deuteronomy followed by the book of Joshua.
Joshua was the next leader and God allowed Joshua to lead theIsraelite's into the land of Promise Joshua Chap 1: 1-3 Now after the death of Moses the servant of the LORD it came to pass, that the LORD spake unto Joshua the son of Nun, Moses' minister, saying, Moses my servant is dead; now therefore arise, go over this Jordan, thou, and all this people, unto the land which I do give to them, even to the children of Israel. Every place that the sole of your foot shall tread upon, that have I given unto you, as I said unto Moses.
Joshua the son of Hun took over as leader of the Jews after Moses died.
According to the Bible, Joshua led the Israelites across the River Jordan.
Before crossing the Jordan River, the people of Israel camped near the river, consecrated themselves, and received instructions from Joshua to follow the Ark of the Covenant carried by the priests to lead them into the Promised Land.
Joshua, the son of Nun.
Actually moses does not put his foot in the promised land. It was Joshua who took over from Moses , who lead the people to Canaan.
In Joshua 1:1-9 God encouraged Joshua. God spoke directly to Joshua encouraging him to enter the promise land with the people of Israel. The words that God used were - "I will give you every place where you set your foot", "No one will be able to stand up against you", "As I was with Moses so I will be with you", "Be strong and courageous because you will lead these people to inerit the land I swore to their forefathers to give them". There were more encouraging words that God used to speak to Joshua so that he would have courage. The question I ask is why did God use these words? God chose His words carefully before speaking to Joshua. God would only use such words if He knew that Joshua needed it. Maybe Joshua was not sure of the task ahead? But the bible shows us that God encouraged Joshua. It is amazing how much God knows us and understands us. God knew what was going through the mind of Joshua. So God encouraged him. If there was anywhere that Joshua must have found courage it was in Joshua chapter 1 when God encouraged him. In verse 10 after God had encoraged Joshua - the bible tells us that Joshua got up and told the leaders of Israel to get ready for in three days time they would cross the Jordan river and take possession of the promised land. After God had encouraged Joshua - Joshua had the courage to cross over and take possession of the promise land. God gave Joshua courage.
