شرح للأطفال
Imagine you're on a long trip with your family, and along the way, you forget to get a special badge that you need to join a club. When you reach your destination, your parents help you get that badge so you can join the club. That's kind of like what happened with the Israelites. They forgot to do a special thing, and Joshua made sure their children got it done.
