“Now after the death of Moses the servant of the Lord it came to pass, that the Lord spake unto Joshua the son of Nun, Moses’ minister, saying, Moses My servant is dead.”—JOSH. 1:1. WITH Jehovah’s words to Joshua, “Moses My servant is dead; now therefore arise,” the book that is before us commences. Moses, “the drawn out”—Jehovah’s servant appointed to bring forth His people out of Egypt—had passed off the scene. Jehovah had buried him, and hidden the place of his sepulchre.
