Description

Chapter five contains a description of the fear of the nations, Israel's second national circumcision, the first Pesach in Israel, the cessation of the manna, and an odd interaction between Yehoshua and an Malach. What unifies these stories? How do they bridge the crossing of the Jordan to the conquest of Yericho? How do these stories inherently define our new relationship to the Land of Israel?
