Joshua was given specific instructions by God on how to take the cities on the Canaan side of the Jordan. These instructions were to be observed in order that Israel would not set their heart on worldy goods, or hoard or trade with other cultures. All was to be devoted to God or it would be a curse to Israel. These instructions magnified Joshua within Israel, and provided evidence to the cities around of evidence of God’s presence with Joshua and Israel.
