The people could not enter the Promised Land under Moses' leadership because they failed to trust God's promises. The doubting generation perished in the wilderness outside of Israel, but under the leadership of God's faithful servant Joshua, the Israelites were finally permitted to cross the Jordan River and enter the land that God had promised to them as their inheritance. Led by Joshua, Israel defeats many enemies and destroys the city of Jericho. The prostitute Rahab and her household are alone saved from the destruction of Jericho because of her faith in Yahweh. After most of Canaan is conquered by the Israelites, Joshua has the land portioned out to each of the tribes of Israel.
