The answer is: Joshua

Num 27:18

After Moses led the Israelites through the Exodus and towards the Promised Land, the torch was passed to Joshua, a figure bursting with significant history and responsibility. While Moses was tasked with delivering the Law and guiding the people after they had escaped slavery, Joshua came into the spotlight to take them across the Jordan River and into Canaan.

What’s interesting about Joshua is not just that he succeeded a monumental figure; it’s also that he was well-prepared for the role. Traveling alongside Moses, he gained vital experience. His earlier exploits included leading Israelite forces in the battle against the Amalekites and conducting reconnaissance of the Promised Land, specifically Jericho and its fortified walls.

Joshua is noted not just for his military acumen but remarkably for his faithfulness and obedience. At times when the people were wavering, he stood strong, famously declaring, “As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord” (Josh 24:15). This kind of dedication vibes through the ages and gives us a compelling example of strong leadership drawing from faith and commitment.

It’s also noteworthy that Joshua is the first prophet recorded to experience God's guidance by the use of the Urim and Thummim once he assumed control, emphasizing the continuing divine assistance directing Israel according to the unfolding biblical narrative. So, as you ponder Moses' legacy, don’t overlook the promising new chapter ushered in by Joshua!
