Description: THE history of Israel as a nation may be said to commence with their entrance into their own land. All previous to this from the Paschal night on which Israel was born as a people to the overthrow of Sihon and of Og, the last who would have barred Israel's way to their home had been only preparatory. During the forty years' wanderings the strong hand of Jehovah had so to speak, welded the people together. But now, when the Lion of Judah couched by the banks of Jordon, Israel was face to face with its grand mission, and the grand task of its national life commenced: to dispossess heathenism, and to plant in its stead the Kingdom of God,  which was destined to strike root and to grow, till, in the fullness of time, it would extend to all nations of the world.   

Accordingly, when the camp of Israel was pitched at Shittim, a new period commenced. Its history records:
a) first, certain events, which had to take place immediately before entering the Land of Promise;
b) next, the conquest, 
c) then the apportionment of the land among the tribes of Israel; 
d) lastly, in the time of the Judges, side by side, the unfolding of Israel's religious and national condition, and the assertion of those fundamental principles, which underlay its very existence as a God-called, people.
