Commentary on Joshua 24:26

Theological / Devotional

Joshua wrote. That is, the words of the covenant, and the statute and judgment (v. 25). The account was placed with the book of the law in the side of the ark (PP 524).

This is the second “signature” among the sacred writers of the OT. The first is that of Moses, in Deut. 31:9. The next after Joshua’s is that of Samuel (1 Sam. 10:25). These men did not think of themselves as writers of distinct books, but as authorized to add their part to the book already written, to write what was assigned to them “in the book of the law of God.” The unity of Holy Scripture is thus seen to have been an essential feature of the Bible from the very first.
