The verse is unambiguous in saying that Joshua made a decision. However, it is silent on how or why he made that decision. The verse is silent on whether or not God had to regenerate Joshua before he was able to make that decision. All it says is that a decision was made.

It doesn't say that Joshua was without out a free will to make the decision either; does it?

It doesn't say anything about the condition of Joshua's will, whether it was free or in bondage. It just says he made a decision.

Jhn 1:12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, [even] to them that believe on his name: Jhn 1:13 Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.

Rom 9:15 For he saith to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion.

Rom 9:16 So then [it is] not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that sheweth mercy.
