Mid-Week Bible Study – All Through the Old Testament, part 5: The Conquest

This topic raises some really tough questions, but we need to think about them. When the Israelites arrived at the land of Canaan, they were told to exterminate everyone "without mercy." Hard words to read, but important questions to ask as we talk about the context of these events and their reasoning at the time.

Bible verses we read in the order we read them: Deuteronomy 20:1-18; 7:1-6; Joshua 6:20-21; 11:18-20. (Read them here.)
