📚 Historical Context
In the Book of Joshua, the Israelites were preparing to conquer the Promised Land after their deliverance from Egypt, with Joshua leading them as Moses' successor. He sent two spies to Jericho to gather intelligence, and they discovered that the Canaanites were terrified because of the reports of God's mighty acts, such as the parting of the Red Sea and the defeat of other nations. Upon returning, the spies reported to Joshua that God had already given them victory, as the fear among the inhabitants confirmed divine favor.
