Little Bible Explorers: Moses and the New Leader — Digital Edition

Maya would like a turn leading their garden trail. Join Eli, Maya and Mum as they explore the Bible account of Moses asking God to choose a new leader for the people of Israel. Moses will not lead them into the promised land, and he cares about who will guide them next.

God names Joshua. Moses brings him before Eleazar the priest and the gathered people, lays his hands on him and gives him his new responsibility. Eleazar will seek God’s guidance on Joshua’s behalf.

Original-series-style illustrations accompany this selected retelling. Separate modern family scenes encourage children to listen with kindness, take turns and ask caring grown-ups for help when something feels new.

READING TOGETHER

God tells Moses that he will die. This is mentioned gently, not pictured. Moses remains alive throughout this passage. Preview and pause as needed. Grown-up notes explain the Meribah context and details omitted from the child-facing retelling. Joshua’s appointment is an adult responsibility within ancient Israel; the modern garden trail is a separate example of listening and asking for help, not an equivalent to leading a nation.

Children are not responsible for other people’s safety or for managing adults. Keep a grown-up beside them on the trail, and offer an indoor, seated or picture-based alternative. Children may question a leader and tell a trusted adult when something feels wrong. Welcome pointing, drawing and communication aids. Drawing activities use safe materials with adult supervision.

Modern scenes are fictional; ancient settings and the characters’ appearance are imaginative. AI-assisted illustrations selected and reviewed for this edition.
