--> 00:00:09.190 the remaining tribes of Israel received land in Canaan as allotted 00:00:09.190 --> 00:00:13.990 by Eliezer, the priest, Joshua, son of none, and the tribal leaders. 00:00:14.980 --> 00:00:19.150 These nine and a half tribes received their grants of land by means of 00:00:19.150 --> 00:00:22.720 sacred lots in accordance with the Lord's command through Moses. 00:00:23.770 --> 00:00:27.430 Moses had already given a grant of land to the two and a half tribes on 00:00:27.430 --> 00:00:28.960 the east side of the Jordan River. 00:00:29.470 --> 00:00:32.080 But he had given the Levites no such allotment. 00:00:33.220 --> 00:00:38.860 The descendants of Joseph had become two separate tribes, Manasses and Eum, 00:00:39.670 --> 00:00:44.140 and the Levites were given no land at all, only towns to live in with 00:00:44.140 --> 00:00:47.500 surrounding pasture lands for their livestock in all their possessions. 00:00:48.280 --> 00:00:51.490 So the land was distributed in strict accordance with the 00:00:51.490 --> 00:00:56.470 Lord's commands to Moses, a delegation from the tribe of Judah. 00:00:56.875 --> 00:00:59.065 Led by Caleb, son of Giana. 00:00:59.245 --> 00:01:02.215 The Kenza came to Joshua at Gilgal. 00:01:03.205 --> 00:01:07.315 Caleb said to Joshua, remember what the Lord said to Moses, 00:01:07.345 --> 00:01:09.535 the man of God about you and me. 00:01:09.595 --> 00:01:14.665 When we were at Kish Baria, I was 40 years old when Moses, the servant 00:01:14.670 --> 00:01:19.015 of the Lord, sent me from Kadish, Baria to explore the land of Canaan. 00:01:19.825 --> 00:01:21.865 I returned and gave an honest report. 00:01:22.525 --> 00:01:25.795 But my brothers who went with me frightened the people from entering 00:01:25.795 --> 00:01:30.475 the promised land for my part, I wholeheartedly followed the Lord my God. 00:01:31.045 --> 00:01:36.535 So that day, Moses solemnly promised me the land of Canaan on which you were just 00:01:36.535 --> 00:01:42.865 walking will be your grant of land and that of your descendants forever because 00:01:42.865 --> 00:01:44.515 you wholeheartedly followed the Lord. 00:01:44.515 --> 00:01:45.085 My God. 00:01:46.555 --> 00:01:46.945 Now. 00:01:46.945 --> 00:01:52.795 As you can see, the Lord has kept me alive and well as he promised for all these 45 00:01:52.795 --> 00:01:57.985 years since Moses made this promise, even while Israel wandered in the wilderness. 00:01:59.065 --> 00:02:00.985 Today I am 85 years old. 00:02:01.555 --> 00:02:06.115 I'm as strong now as I was when Moses sent me on that journey, and I can still 00:02:06.115 --> 00:02:08.575 travel and fight as well as I could then. 00:02:09.505 --> 00:02:12.625 So give me the hill country that the Lord promised me. 00:02:13.480 --> 00:02:17.560 You will remember that as scouts, we found the descendants of Anac 00:02:17.710 --> 00:02:20.380 living there in great walled towns. 00:02:21.160 --> 00:02:24.370 But if the Lord is with me, I will drive them out of the 00:02:24.370 --> 00:02:26.260 land, just as the Lord said. 00:02:27.400 --> 00:02:33.430 So Joshua blessed Caleb son of Giana and gave he to him as his portion of land. 00:02:34.360 --> 00:02:38.650 Hes still belongs to the descendants of Caleb, son of Jaffna, the Kenza, 00:02:39.190 --> 00:02:42.460 because he wholeheartedly followed the Lord, the God of Israel. 00:02:43.915 --> 00:02:47.125 Previously, Hebron had been called Curth aba. 00:02:47.395 --> 00:02:51.655 It had been named after aba, a great hero of the descendants of Anac 00:02:53.155 --> 00:02:55.375 and the land had rest from war. 00:02:57.415 --> 00:03:00.655 The allotment for the clans of the tribe of Judah reached 00:03:00.655 --> 00:03:02.545 southward to the border of Edem. 00:03:02.845 --> 00:03:04.975 As far south as the wilderness of Zinn. 00:03:05.755 --> 00:03:08.875 The southern boundary began at the South Bay of the Dead Sea. 00:03:09.235 -->

Mediterranean Sea. 00:03:29.695 --> 00:03:31.225 This was their southern boundary. 00:03:32.305 --> 00:03:36.775 The Eastern boundary extended along the Dead Sea to the mouth of the Jordan River. 00:03:38.215 --> 00:03:41.725 The northern boundary began at the Bay where the Jordan River 00:03:41.785 --> 00:03:43.165 empties into the Dead Sea. 00:03:43.705 --> 00:03:47.515 Went up from there to Beth, Hola, then proceeded north of 00:03:47.520 --> 00:03:50.365 Beth Aba to the stone of Bohan. 00:03:51.115 --> 00:03:52.765 Bohan was Reuben's Sun. 00:03:53.575 --> 00:03:57.685 From that point, it went through the valley of AOR to Deber, turning 00:03:57.685 --> 00:04:01.225 north toward Gilgal, which is across from the slopes of a Dum 00:04:01.345 --> 00:04:02.785 on the south side of the valley. 00:04:03.460 --> 00:04:08.740 From there, the boundary extended to the springs at Enmesh and onto Rogo. 00:04:09.310 --> 00:04:13.180 The boundary then passed through the valley of Ben Ham, along the southern 00:04:13.180 --> 00:04:16.450 slopes of the Jebusites, where the city of Jerusalem is located. 00:04:17.290 --> 00:04:19.900 Then it went west to the top of the mountain above the 00:04:19.900 --> 00:04:24.370 valley of Ham, and on up to the northern end of the valley of em. 00:04:25.300 --> 00:04:28.960 From there, the boundary extended from the top of the mountain to 00:04:28.965 --> 00:04:31.180 the spring at the waters of NF Toa. 00:04:31.750 --> 00:04:34.450 And from there to the towns on Mount Ephron. 00:04:35.050 --> 00:04:36.850 Then it turned toward Bayla. 00:04:37.180 --> 00:04:38.950 That is Ki Jiram. 00:04:39.700 --> 00:04:43.120 The boundary circled west of Bayla to Mount Sr. 00:04:43.600 --> 00:04:48.280 Passed along to the town of Kessan on the northern slope of Mount Jira, and 00:04:48.280 --> 00:04:54.370 went down to Beth Mish and onto Timnah the boundary, then proceeded to the slope 00:04:54.370 --> 00:04:59.410 of the hill north of Akron, where it turned toward Chicharron and Mount Bayla. 00:05:00.100 --> 00:05:04.000 It passed Jne and ended at the Mediterranean Sea. 00:05:04.720 --> 00:05:08.110 The Western boundary was the shoreline of the Mediterranean Sea. 00:05:08.650 --> 00:05:11.800 These are the boundaries for the clans of the tribe of Judah. 00:05:13.510 --> 00:05:17.050 The Lord commanded Joshua to assign some of Judah's territory 00:05:17.055 --> 00:05:18.790 to Caleb, son of Giana. 00:05:19.360 --> 00:05:24.340 So Caleb was given the town of Curth Aba that is Hebron, which had 00:05:24.340 --> 00:05:26.350 been named after an A's ancestor. 00:05:27.265 --> 00:05:31.735 Caleb drove out the three groups of Anana kites, the descendants of She 00:05:31.735 --> 00:05:35.575 shy, a Hyman and Talai the sons of aac. 00:05:36.685 --> 00:05:39.505 From there, he went to fight against the people living in the town of 00:05:39.505 --> 00:05:41.935 Die Deber, formerly called Ser. 00:05:43.405 --> 00:05:48.415 Caleb said, I will give my daughter Axa in marriage to the one who 00:05:48.415 --> 00:05:52.135 attacks and captures Kiser ath. 00:05:52.735 --> 00:05:54.055 The son of Caleb's brother. 00:05:54.055 --> 00:05:56.185 Ken was the one who conquered it. 00:05:56.905 --> 00:05:59.305 So Axa became O Neil's wife. 00:06:00.655 --> 00:06:04.795 When Axa married off Neil, she urged him to ask her father for a field. 00:06:05.425 --> 00:06:08.995 As she got down off her donkey, Caleb asked her, what's the matter? 00:06:09.865 --> 00:06:11.785 She said, give me another gift. 00:06:12.385 --> 00:06:14.455 You have already given me land in the negative. 00:06:14.725 --> 00:06:16.615 Now please give me springs of water. 00:06:17.965 --> 00:06:20.905 So Caleb gave her the upper and lower springs. 00:06:22.405 --> 00:06:26.035 This was the homeland allocated to the clans of the tribe of Judah. 00:06:27.010 --> 00:06:30.910 The towns of Judah situated along the borders

who 00:10:38.965 --> 00:10:40.495 lived in the city of Jerusalem. 00:10:41.305 --> 00:10:44.305 So the Jebusites lived there among the people of Judah. 00:10:44.485 --> 00:10:45.325 To this day, 00:10:47.395 --> 00:10:51.295 the allotment for the descendants of Joseph extended from the Jordan River 00:10:51.300 --> 00:10:55.105 near Jericho, east of the springs of Jericho, through the

allocated to the half tribe of manassa were set aside for the tribe of raam. 00:12:11.245 --> 00:12:14.815 They did not drive the Canaanites out of geezer, however, so the 00:12:14.815 --> 00:12:19.405 people of geezer live as slaves among the people of Raam to this day. 00:12:20.575 --> 00:12:23.695 The next allotment of land was given to the half tribe of Manassa. 00:12:23.995 --> 00:12:27.115 The descendants of Joseph's older son May. 00:12:27.115 --> 00:12:30.925 Here, the firstborn son of Manassa was the father of Gilead. 00:12:31.375 --> 00:12:35.725 Because his descendants were experienced soldiers, the regions of Gilead and 00:12:35.725 --> 00:12:39.385 Basin on the east side of the Jordan had already been given to them. 00:12:40.195 --> 00:12:42.925 So the allotment on the west side of the Jordan was for the 00:12:42.925 --> 00:12:47.545 remaining families within the clans of the tribe of Manassa, a Byer. 00:12:48.115 --> 00:12:52.735 Lec Israel, Shechem, heifer,

leaders, and said The Lord commanded Moses to give us a grant of 00:13:25.030 --> 00:13:27.100 land along with the men of our tribe. 00:13:28.060 --> 00:13:31.390 So Joshua gave them a grant of land along with their uncles, 00:13:31.540 --> 00:13:32.770 as the Lord had commanded. 00:13:33.580 --> 00:13:38.740 As a result, Manassas total allocation came to 10 parcels of land, in 00:13:38.740 --> 00:13:42.220 addition to the land of Gilead and Basin across the Jordan River. 00:13:43.195 --> 00:13:47.125 The female descendants of Manassa received a grant of land along 00:13:47.125 --> 00:13:48.295 with the male descendants. 00:13:49.315 --> 00:13:52.975 The land of Gilead was given to the rest of the male descendants of Manassa. 00:13:54.535 --> 00:13:57.775 The boundary of the tribe of Manassa extended from the border 00:13:57.775 --> 00:14:00.505 of Asher to McMath, near Sheku. 00:14:01.585 --> 00:14:04.705 Then the boundary went south from McMath to the settlement 00:14:04.705 --> 00:14:05.785 near the spring of Tapua. 00:14:06.880 --> 00:14:11.800 The land surrounding Tapua belonged to Manassa, but the town of Tapua itself 00:14:12.130 --> 00:14:15.880 on the border of Manassa territory belonged to the tribe of Rahe. 00:14:17.290 --> 00:14:20.770 From the spring of Tapua, the boundary of Manassa followed the 00:14:20.770 --> 00:14:23.200 Cana Ravine to the Mediterranean Sea. 00:14:24.070 --> 00:14:27.880 Several towns south of the Ravine were inside Manassa territory, 00:14:28.180 --> 00:14:32.050 but they actually belonged to the tribe of Efraim in general. 00:14:32.050 --> 00:14:35.710 However, the land south of the Ravine belonged to Efraim. 00:14:36.310 --> 00:14:39.220 And the land north of the Ravine belonged to Manassa. 00:14:40.210 --> 00:14:43.960 Manasses boundary ran along the northern side of the ravine and 00:14:43.960 --> 00:14:45.580 ended at the Mediterranean Sea. 00:14:46.270 --> 00:14:49.870 North of Manassa was the territory of Asher, and to the 00:14:49.875 --> 00:14:52.150 east was the territory of Iscar. 00:14:53.110 --> 00:14:57.310 The following towns within the territory of Iscar and Asher, however, 00:14:57.430 --> 00:15:01.810 were given to Manas Beth, Han Ilium. 00:15:02.800 --> 00:15:02.860 Do. 00:15:03.520 --> 00:15:10.570 Is Nafo Door, Endor, teak and Megiddo each with their surrounding settlements. 00:15:11.770 --> 00:15:16.360 But the descendants of Manassa were unable to occupy these towns because 00:15:16.360 --> 00:15:19.810 the Canaanites were determined to stay in that region later. 00:15:19.810 --> 00:15:23.230 However, when the Israelites became strong enough, they forced the 00:15:23.230 --> 00:15:27.250 Canaanites to work as slaves, but they did not drive them out of the land. 00:15:28.915 --> 00:15:33.895 The descendants of Joseph came to Joshua and asked, why have you given us only one 00:15:33.895 --> 00:15:38.815 portion of land as our homeland when the Lord has blessed us with so many people? 00:15:40.075 --> 00:15:45.295 Joshua replied, if there are so many of you, and if the hill country of Ephraim 00:15:45.295 --> 00:15:49.645 is not large enough for you, clear out land for yourselves in the forest 00:15:49.735 --> 00:15:51.835 where the parasites and rites live. 00:15:53.200 --> 00:15:54.880 The descendants of Joseph responded. 00:15:55.300 --> 00:15:58.180 It's true that the hill country is not large enough for us, 00:15:58.630 --> 00:16:01.840 but all the Canaanites in the lowlands have iron chariots. 00:16:02.260 --> 00:16:05.620 Both those in Beth Shaw and its surrounding settlements, and 00:16:05.620 --> 00:16:08.740 those in the valley of Jezreel, they're too strong for us. 00:16:09.790 --> 00:16:14.290 Then Joshua said to the tribes of Efraim and Manassa, the descendants of Joseph, 00:16:15.160 --> 00:16:19.720 since you are so large and strong, you will be given more than one portion. 00:16:20.200 --> 00:16:22.750 The forests of the hill country will be yours as well. 00:16:23.260 --> 00:16:27.520 Clear as much of the land as you wish, and take possession of its farthest corners, 00:16:27.850 --> 00:16:31.780 and you will drive out the Canaanites from the valleys too, even though they 00:16:31.780 --> 00:16:33.940 are strong and have iron chariots. 00:16:36.010 --> 00:16:38.860 This concludes today's immerse reading experience. 00:16:39.010 --> 00:16:40.240 Thank you for joining us.
