Then Kings' corpses get put in the caves
10:27
But at the time of the going down of the sun, Joshua commanded, and they took them down from the trees and threw them into the cave where they had hidden themselves, and they set large stones against the mouth of the cave, which remain to this very day

This part isn't so fun to read...

10:24
And when they brought those kings out to Joshua, Joshua summoned all the men of Israel and said to the chiefs of the men of war who had gone with him, “Come near; put your feet on the necks of these kings.” Then they came near and put their feet on their necks.

Also in this chapter - Joshua causes the sun and moon to stand still

19:12
...Sun, stand still at Gibeon,
and moon, in the Valley of Aijalon.”
13 And the sun stood still, and the moon stopped,
until the nation took vengeance on their enemies.

Fascinating verse: There has been no day like it before or since, when the LORD heeded the voice of a man, for the LORD fought for Israel.
Joshua 10:14

OK I started #tanakhyomi on Friday evening with my family (partner and two boys) - we read Joshua ch 1-3 together… it’s was lovely! We missed the exciting story of Jericho and the continuation of Rachab’s story since we haven’t read together as a family since the first night, but I did ch 4-6 and 7-9 on my own… Joshua is always a little difficult because of all the war and violence, and the strange story of Akhan being singled out for the breaking the plunder law…

Getting ready for #tanakhyomi with #exploringjudaism https://www.exploringjudaism.org/learning/tanakh-yomi/ a few chapters a day of a biblical book from the Prophets (N'vi'im) section of the Hebrew Bible (Tanakh), and later from the Writings (K'tuvim) section, keep up with the weekly Torah portion daily or just all on Shabbat... And in a year we'll finish the whole #tanakh
