2. At that time the Lord said to Joshua, "Make flint knives and _____ the sons of Israel a second time." So Joshua made flint knives and ______ the sons of Israel at Gibeath-haaraloth.-Joshua 5:2-3

Explanation

In this passage, the Lord commands Joshua to make flint knives and circumcise the sons of Israel a second time. This indicates that the Israelites had not been circumcised previously or had not fully followed the practice. Circumcision was an important religious rite for the Israelites, symbolizing their covenant with God. By circumcising the Israelites, Joshua was ensuring that they were fully committed to their faith and obedient to God's commandments. This act of circumcision was a significant step in their journey towards claiming the Promised Land.

3. As soon as all the kings of the Amorites who were beyond the Jordan to the west, and all the kings of the Canaanites who were by the sea, heard that the Lord had dried up the waters of the _____ for the people of Israel until they had crossed over, their hearts melted and there was no longer any spirit in them because of the people of Israel. Josh 5:1

Explanation

The correct answer is Jordan because the passage specifically mentions that the Lord dried up the waters of the Jordan for the people of Israel to cross over. This caused fear and defeat among the kings of the Amorites and Canaanites, as they witnessed the power of the Lord and the strength of the Israelites.

Submit
4. And the Lord said to Joshua, "Today I have rolled away the reproach of Egypt from you." And so the name of that place is called _____ to this day. Joshua 5:9

Explanation

After the Israelites crossed the Jordan River into the Promised Land, they camped at a place called Gilgal. It was there that the Lord spoke to Joshua and declared that He had rolled away the reproach of Egypt from them, symbolizing the end of their slavery and the beginning of their new life in the land God had promised them. The name Gilgal was given to commemorate this event, and it remained as a reminder of God's faithfulness to His people.

Submit
5. 13 When Joshua was by Jericho, he lifted up his eyes and looked, and behold, a man was standing before him with his drawn sword in his hand. And Joshua went to him and said to him, "Are you for us, or for our adversaries?" 14 And he said, "No; but I am the commander of the army of ______. Now I have come." And Joshua fell on his face to the earth and worshiped and said to him, "What does my lord say to his servant?" Joshua 5:13-14

Explanation

In this passage, Joshua encounters a man with a drawn sword and asks if he is on their side or their enemies'. The man responds by saying that he is the commander of the army of the Lord. This indicates that the man is not aligned with either side, but rather represents God's authority and power. Joshua recognizes the divine presence and falls on his face to worship, acknowledging the Lord's supremacy.

Submit
6. The _____ ceased the day after they ate of the produce of the land. And there was no longer ______ for the people of Israel, but they ate of the fruit of the land of Canaan that year. Joshua 5:12

Explanation

After the Israelites ate the produce of the land of Canaan, the supply of manna that they had been receiving ceased. This means that they no longer had manna to eat. The manna had been their main source of sustenance during their time in the wilderness, but now they were able to enjoy the fruit of the land of Canaan. The reference to "milk and honey" in the question is a common metaphor used to describe the abundance and prosperity of the land.

Submit
7. 21 Then they devoted all in the city to destruction, both men and women, young and old, oxen, sheep, and donkeys, with the edge of the sword. -Josh 6:21

Explanation

The given verse from the book of Joshua describes the destruction of a city, where all its inhabitants and livestock were killed using the edge of the sword. This means that the people were killed by physical violence, specifically by using the sharp edge of a sword. No other explanations, such as a great earthquake, a mighty swirling wind, or the hornet, are mentioned in the verse.

Submit
8. When the circumcising of the whole nation was finished, they remained in their places in the camp ______. -Joshua 5:8

Explanation

After the circumcision of the entire nation, the people stayed in their positions in the camp until they were healed. This implies that the healing process after the circumcision took some time, and during this period, they remained in their places.

Submit
9. 20 And Achan answered Joshua, "Truly I have sinned against the Lord God of Israel, and this is what I did: 21 when I saw among the spoil a beautiful cloak from _____, and 200 shekels of silver, and a bar of gold weighing 50 shekels, then I coveted them and took them.

10. 18 But you, keep yourselves from the things devoted to _____, lest when you have devoted them you take any of the devoted things and make the camp of Israel a thing for destruction and bring trouble upon it.  Joshua 6:18

Explanation

The correct answer is "destruction". In this verse, Joshua is warning the people of Israel to keep themselves from the things that are devoted to destruction. If they were to take any of these devoted things, it would bring trouble upon the camp of Israel and make it a thing for destruction. This emphasizes the importance of obedience and staying away from anything that is dedicated to destruction.

Submit
11. And the Lord said to Joshua, "Do not fear and do not be dismayed. Take all the fighting men with you, and arise, go up to Ai. See, I have given into your hand the king of Ai, and his people, his city, and his land. 2 And you shall do to Ai and its king as you did to Jericho and its king. Only its spoil and its livestock you ______ as plunder for yourselves. Lay an ambush against the city, behind it." -Joshua 8:1-2

Explanation

In the given passage, the Lord is instructing Joshua to attack the city of Ai. However, there is a specific instruction regarding the spoils of war. The correct answer, "shall not take," means that Joshua and his men are not allowed to take any spoil or livestock from Ai as plunder for themselves. This is in contrast to the previous instruction regarding the city of Jericho, where they were allowed to take spoils. The Lord's command is clear that the spoils of Ai should not be taken, but instead, Joshua should lay an ambush against the city.

Submit
12. But the people of Israel broke _____ in regard to the devoted things, for Achan the son of Carmi, son of Zabdi, son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, took some of the devoted things. And the anger of the Lord burned against the people of Israel.Joshua 7:1

Explanation

The people of Israel broke their faith in regard to the devoted things. This is evident from the fact that Achan, a member of the tribe of Judah, took some of the devoted things for himself. As a result, the anger of the Lord burned against the people of Israel. This shows that their lack of faith and disobedience to God's commands led to consequences for the entire nation.
