Question

Joshua was chosen to succeed Moses because

Options

A)
Moses was very old
B)
had now rejected Moses
C)
Moses was asked for a successor
D)
God's spirit was with Joshua

The correct answer is D.

Explanation:

The question is asking why Joshua was chosen to succeed Moses. The options to choose from are Option A: Moses was very old, Option B: God had now rejected Moses, Option C: Moses was asked for a successor, and Option D: God's spirit was with Joshua (which is the correct answer).

Now, to explain the answer, we need to look at the Bible. Moses was the leader of the Israelites and guided them out of Egypt. However, he was not allowed to enter the Promised Land because of his disobedience to God. Therefore, God chose Joshua to lead the Israelites into the Promised Land.

In the book of Deuteronomy, Moses prayed to God to appoint a successor. God then chose Joshua and instructed Moses to commission him as the new leader. In Joshua 1:5, God promised Joshua that he would be with him just as he was with Moses. This shows that God's spirit was with Joshua, making him the right person to succeed Moses.

Therefore, the correct answer to the question is Option D: God's spirit was with Joshua. This means that Joshua was chosen because he had the guidance and support of God to lead the Israelites into the Promised Land.
