Joshua 2:1 Joshua Sends Spies From Acacia Grove
On this date, Moses is exactly 120 years old based on his DFC date of birth on the first day of Nisan in 1525 BC. Since Moses died the previous month, this would be a good example showing how the DFC dates in Scripture sometimes function like marks on the ruler of time instead of designating the exact date of an event.

Joshua 10:12-14
Sun Stands Still Allowing Defeat of Amorites
There has been much speculation in Biblical commentaries to explain this text. Scripture is clear that the sun stood still and the moon stopped. Many claim some form of a solar eclipse that kept the sun’s heat from Israel’s soldiers until they prevailed against the Amorites. Other commentaries claim that the sun appeared to stop. Joshua 10:13 is very clear about what happened: "So the sun stood still in the midst of heaven, and did not hasten to go down for about a whole day". American Indians, who would have been on the other side of the earth, talk about the "long night" that occurred at this same time in history. This research concludes that what is probably being described here is a 48-hour Friday with one sunrise and one sunset. This Friday covers two days of time on the Gregorian-Hebrew calendar. The obvious purpose of this miracle is to show God’s power in giving Israel a victory over the Amorites. It is also an answer to Joshua’s public prayer request before all of Israel. In relation to the effect on earth’s calendars, this is one of eight days needed to line up 4,096 Gregorian solar years and the 364-Day calendar (4,110 years) from Day 7 of Creation Week to the birth of Jesus in 5 BC.

Ephraim Fails to Defeat Canaanites in Gezer
During this period of history, Israel begins to experience a long series of defeats which results in an incomplete conquest of Canaan. The Tribes of Israel failed to fight in obedience to God’s clear instructions. God’s punishment for their disobedience is that they will have to continue to battle the inhabitants of Canaan. This battle continues to the present day in Israel with some descendants of Canaan in this period of Bible history.

This seemed to be a clear test by God to shown their lack of obedience to His clear instructions to rely totally on Him.

Transition From Conquest of Canaan to the Period of the Judges
During the conquest of Canaan, Israel was obedient to God and protected in battle. During the period of the Judges, Israel went through repeating cycles of idolatry of pagan gods, military defeat, repentance and restoration from a Judge. A Judge was a deliverer raised up by God for a specific period of time. This process is explained in Chapter 2 of the Book of Judges and the introduction to this Book in the MacArthur Study Bible. The MacArthur Study Bible also has a great chart of the period of the Judges on page 339.
Dating the events of the conquest of Canaan and the period of the Judges proved to be as much of a challenge as dating the reigns of the Kings of Israel. It is relatively easy to date the start of the conquest of Canaan at the end of the Exodus in 1405 BC when Joshua crossed the Jordon River on Nisan 10 of that year, according to Joshua 3:2-17 (See pages 266-267). It is also clear when the period of the Judges is over and King Saul begins his reign in June of 1050 BC on the 364-Day calendar. This year is calculated to be just under eighty-five years from the start of the building of the Jerusalem Temple on Sunday, May 18−Sivan 2 in 965 BC, according to 1 Kings 6:1 and 2 Chronicles 3:2 (See page 383).
To put it simply, the start of the conquest of Canaan and the end of the period of the Judges can be accurately dated in years. The periods of oppression by foreign Kings and deliverance by Israel’s Judges are dated years between these two events. Different Tribes of Israel were oppressed by different enemies and had their own Tribal Judge in a particular inherited area of Canaan. Jephthah’s warning to the King of Ammon in Judges 1:23-28 serves as an anchor point in the period of the Judges. This event happens 300 years after Israel defeats King Sihon at a battle at Heshbon Falls in 1406 BC, as recorded in Numbers 21:23-31, Deut. 1:4, and 2:30-35 (See page 248). The previous periods of oppression and deliverance back to the death of Joshua can be calculated from this point.
