Ok let’s address the elephant in the room after today’s reading.
I’ll be honest I only made it to Joshua 11 before I had to stop and ask qotquestions.com “why is there such terrible violence allowed in the OT?”
My flesh doesn’t love these responses but it was helpful to read:

I agree!! I felt like my goodness so much violence in OT, I am excited to read the NT!
