After discussing their unique…

The book of Joshua picks up right where the book of Deuteronomy left off. The twelve tribes are camped out on the east side of the Jordan River, which lies between Mount Hermon and the Dead Sea.

of Micah, situated between Hosea and Amos, is the thirty-third book in the Old Testament and one of the twelve books classified as a Minor Prophet.
