the book of Joshua tell of the diatribe -
don of the land among the': tribes of
Israel, and of certain special grants
of territory such as that. of. Hebron to
Caleb. This important and difficult
work is described in detail (chs. 13 to
22), and there follows an account of

Joshua is p

there He before the Israelites greater
clangers thanthose which they have
encountered from Canaanite armies,
or sone of Anak. There is the elabor-

now warns tho people of Israel. ,"Be
ye, therefore, very courageous;" he.
says, "to keep and to do shit that is
written' inthe book of the law of
Moses, that ye turn not aside there-
from k the right hand or to the left."'
It is by strict observance of the laws

I. TI•IE PEOPLE'S CHOICE, 14-18,
"Now therefore fear the.Lord." In
OId Testament religion fear is 'ever-'
ence, and is inculcated as the begin -1
ning, or foundation, of right living
"The fear of the Lord is clean, endur- h
ing for ever," says the Psalmist, and
the wise man declares that "The fear
of the Lord is wisdom," or "is the be-. '
ginning of wisdom," and is identical
with a good understanding, and with`:
departure from evil- (Psalm 19:9; f'
Job 28:28; Prov,' 1:7; Eco es, 12:13).1
Here the exhortation to reverent fear
is accompanied by the exhortation to;
sincere and loyal service, and to put
away all false gods, such as their,
fathers served. in patriarchal tunes
and in Egypt.
