22:1–24:33 The book closes with three chapters about Israel’s faithfulness, following God’s faithfulness that has been the main subject so far (21:43–45 and note). The human response demanded by God’s remarkable grace is the recurring theme of the final chapters. Each chapter begins with Joshua summoning the people (22:1; 23:1–2; 24:1), and focuses on the faithfulness God now requires of them.
