The Book of Joshua () is the sixth book in the Hebrew Bible and of the Old Testament.

The book is structured in two roughly equal parts, the story of the campaigns of the Israelites in central, southern and northern Canaan and the destruction of their enemies, followed by the division of the conquered land among the twelve tribes ; the two parts are framed by set-piece speeches by God and Joshua commanding the conquest and at the end warning of the need for faithful obedience of the Law ( torah ) revealed to Moses.

The apparent setting of Joshua is the 13th century ; this was a time of widespread city-destruction, but with a few exceptions ( Hazor, Lachish ) the destroyed cities are not the ones the Bible associates with Joshua, and the ones it does associate with him show little or no sign of even being occupied at the time.
