As we wrap up our series on Joshua, with this next speech we get a glimpse at a more systematic approach from Joshua as compared to his pastoral approach in chapter 23.

Dr. Crane shares a story about a misunderstanding that almost led to disaster. fortunately, the truth prevailed, and God's people were able to reconcile before harm was done.
