In this section the book of Joshua is wrapping up. Verse 5 contains five instructions. Enjoying God’s kind of life is conditioned upon loving and obeying Him. Without such devotion to God, we cannot count on His spiritual provision and protection. In verse 8 the concept of dividing the spoil portrays our Lord who would do the same (Is. 53:12). On the cross, Jesus’ clothes were divided (Matt. 27:35). His sacrifice resulted in the ability of Believers to meet the five requirements.
