Ethan: Welcome to Immerse: the daily bible reading experience.
Day 100 and 69
the remaining tribes of Israel received land in Canaan as allotted
by Eliezer, the priest, Joshua, son of none, and the tribal leaders.
These nine and a half tribes received their grants of land by means of
sacred lots in accordance with the Lord's command through Moses.
Moses had already given a grant of land to the two and a half tribes on
the east side of the Jordan River.
But he had given the Levites no such allotment.
The descendants of Joseph had become two separate tribes, Manasses and Eum,
and the Levites were given no land at all, only towns to live in with
surrounding pasture lands for their livestock in all their possessions.
So the land was distributed in strict accordance with the
Lord's commands to Moses, a delegation from the tribe of Judah.
Led by Caleb, son of Giana.
The Kenza came to Joshua at Gilgal.
Caleb said to Joshua, remember what the Lord said to Moses,
the man of God about you and me.
When we were at Kish Baria, I was 40 years old when Moses, the servant
of the Lord, sent me from Kadish, Baria to explore the land of Canaan.
I returned and gave an honest report.
But my brothers who went with me frightened the people from entering
the promised land for my part, I wholeheartedly followed the Lord my God.
So that day, Moses solemnly promised me the land of Canaan on which you were just
walking will be your grant of land and that of your descendants forever because
you wholeheartedly followed the Lord.
My God.
Now.
As you can see, the Lord has kept me alive and well as he promised for all these 45
years since Moses made this promise, even while Israel wandered in the wilderness.
Today I am 85 years old.
I'm as strong now as I was when Moses sent me on that journey, and I can still
travel and fight as well as I could then.
So give me the hill country that the Lord promised me.
You will remember that as scouts, we found the descendants of Anac
living there in great walled towns.
But if the Lord is with me, I will drive them out of the
land, just as the Lord said.
So Joshua blessed Caleb son of Giana and gave he to him as his portion of land.
Hes still belongs to the descendants of Caleb, son of Jaffna, the Kenza,
because he wholeheartedly followed the Lord, the God of Israel.
Previously, Hebron had been called Curth aba.
It had been named after aba, a great hero of the descendants of Anac
and the land had rest from war.
The allotment for the clans of the tribe of Judah reached
southward to the border of Edem.
As far south as the wilderness of Zinn.
The southern boundary began at the South Bay of the Dead Sea.
Ran south of Scorpion, pass into the wilderness of Zinn, and then went
south of Kadish, Baria to Hezron.
Then it went up to Adar where it turned toward Kaka.
From there, it passed to Asman until it finally reached the brook of Egypt, which
it followed to the Mediterranean Sea.
This was their southern boundary.
The Eastern boundary extended along the Dead Sea to the mouth of the Jordan River.
The northern boundary began at the Bay where the Jordan River
empties into the Dead Sea.
Went up from there to Beth, Hola, then proceeded north of
Beth Aba to the stone of Bohan.
Bohan was Reuben's Sun.
From that point, it went through the valley of AOR to Deber, turning
north toward Gilgal, which is across from the slopes of a Dum
on the south side of the valley.
From there, the boundary extended to the springs at Enmesh and onto Rogo.
The boundary then passed through the valley of Ben Ham, along the southern
slopes of the Jebusites, where the city of Jerusalem is located.
Then it went west to the top of the mountain above the
valley of Ham, and on up to the northern end of the valley of em.
From there, the boundary extended from the top of the mountain to
the spring at the waters of NF Toa.
And from there to the towns on Mount Ephron.
Then it turned toward Bayla.
That is Ki Jiram.
The boundary circled west of Bayla to Mount Sr.
Passed along to the town of Kessan on the northern slope of Mount Jira, and
went down to Beth Mish and onto Timnah the boundary, then proceeded to the slope
of the hill north of Akron, where it turned toward Chicharron and Mount Bayla.
It passed Jne and ended at the Mediterranean Sea.
The Western boundary was the shoreline of the Mediterranean Sea.
These are the boundaries for the clans of the tribe of Judah.
The Lord commanded Joshua to assign some of Judah's territory
to Caleb, son of Giana.
So Caleb was given the town of Curth Aba that is Hebron, which had
been named after an A's ancestor.
Caleb drove out the three groups of Anana kites, the descendants of She
shy, a Hyman and Talai the sons of aac.
From there, he went to fight against the people living in the town of
Die Deber, formerly called Ser.
Caleb said, I will give my daughter Axa in marriage to the one who
attacks and captures Kiser ath.
The son of Caleb's brother.
Ken was the one who conquered it.
So Axa became O Neil's wife.
When Axa married off Neil, she urged him to ask her father for a field.
As she got down off her donkey, Caleb asked her, what's the matter?
She said, give me another gift.
You have already given me land in the negative.
Now please give me springs of water.
So Caleb gave her the upper and lower springs.
This was the homeland allocated to the clans of the tribe of Judah.
The towns of Judah situated along the borders of Edem in the extreme
south where Cabal, Eder, Jaeger, Kana Damon Aida Kadesh, Hazel Nan Ziff,
TEEM Alof, Hazel Hadda ov Heran.

16 towns with their surrounding villages.
Besides these, there were lib, bna, ether, Asian, ifta, Ashana, Zi,
Kiyah, ak, ib, and Maritia nine towns with their surrounding villages.
The territory of the tribe of Judah also included Akron and its
surrounding settlements and villages.
From Akron, the boundary extended west and included the towns near Ash
Dodd with their surrounding villages.
It also included Ash Dodd with its surrounding settlements and villages and
Gaza with its settlements and villages as far as the brook of Egypt and along
the coast of the Mediterranean Sea, n c.
Judah also received the following towns in the hill country.
Shamer, Jaar, SoCo Danna.

In addition, there were Howell, Beth Sewer, Gido, RAF Beth, aov, and Elthan.
Six towns with their surrounding villages.
There were also RAF Bale, that is Raf Jiram and rabba two towns
with their surrounding villages.
In the wilderness, there were the towns of Beth Aba Midden, Akka Nishan,
the city of Salt, and Ange six towns with their surrounding villages.
But the tribe of Judah could not drive out the Jebusites who
lived in the city of Jerusalem.
So the Jebusites lived there among the people of Judah.
To this day,
the allotment for the descendants of Joseph extended from the Jordan River
near Jericho, east of the springs of Jericho, through the wilderness
and into the hill country of Bethel.
From Bethel, that is Luz.
It ran over to Terro in the territory of the archives.
Then it descended westward to the territory of the Jaff Leites as far
as lower Beth Horan, then to geezer and over to the Mediterranean Sea.
This was the homeland allocated to the families of Joseph's
sons, Manasses and eam.
The following territory was given to the clans of the tribe of eam.
The boundary of their homeland began at Terro Atter in the East.
From there, it ran to Upper Beth Horan, then onto the Mediterranean
Sea from Mcma Ath on the north.
The boundary curved eastward past Teth, Shiloh to the east of Genoa.
From Genoa, it turned southward to Atero and Neira touched Jericho
and ended at the Jordan River.
From Tapua, the boundary extended westward following the Cana
Ravine to the Mediterranean Sea.
This is the homeland allocated to the clans of the tribe of Efraim.
In addition, some towns with their surrounding villages in the territory
allocated to the half tribe of manassa were set aside for the tribe of raam.
They did not drive the Canaanites out of geezer, however, so the
people of geezer live as slaves among the people of Raam to this day.
The next allotment of land was given to the half tribe of Manassa.
The descendants of Joseph's older son May.
Here, the firstborn son of Manassa was the father of Gilead.
Because his descendants were experienced soldiers, the regions of Gilead and
Basin on the east side of the Jordan had already been given to them.
So the allotment on the west side of the Jordan was for the
remaining families within the clans of the tribe of Manassa, a Byer.
Lec Israel, Shechem, heifer, and Sheda.
These clans represent the male descendants of Manassa.
Son of Joseph.
However, ZFA had a descendant of Heifer, son of Gilead, son of Maier.
Son of Manassa.
Had no sons.
He had only daughters whose names were Mala, Noah.
Hola, Milka, Anza.
These women came to Eliezer, the priest, Joshua son of none, and the
Israelite leaders, and said The Lord commanded Moses to give us a grant of
land along with the men of our tribe.
So Joshua gave them a grant of land along with their uncles,
as the Lord had commanded.
As a result, Manassas total allocation came to 10 parcels of land, in
addition to the land of Gilead and Basin across the Jordan River.
The female descendants of Manassa received a grant of land along
with the male descendants.
The land of Gilead was given to the rest of the male descendants of Manassa.
The boundary of the tribe of Manassa extended from the border
of Asher to McMath, near Sheku.
Then the boundary went south from McMath to the settlement
near the spring of Tapua.
The land surrounding Tapua belonged to Manassa, but the town of Tapua itself
on the border of Manassa territory belonged to the tribe of Rahe.
From the spring of Tapua, the boundary of Manassa followed the
Cana Ravine to the Mediterranean Sea.
Several towns south of the Ravine were inside Manassa territory,
but they actually belonged to the tribe of Efraim in general.
However, the land south of the Ravine belonged to Efraim.
And the land north of the Ravine belonged to Manassa.
Manasses boundary ran along the northern side of the ravine and
ended at the Mediterranean Sea.
North of Manassa was the territory of Asher, and to the
east was the territory of Iscar.
The following towns within the territory of Iscar and Asher, however,
were given to Manas Beth, Han Ilium.
Do.
Is Nafo Door, Endor, teak and Megiddo each with their surrounding settlements.
But the descendants of Manassa were unable to occupy these towns because
the Canaanites were determined to stay in that region later.
However, when the Israelites became strong enough, they forced the
Canaanites to work as slaves, but they did not drive them out of the land.
The descendants of Joseph came to Joshua and asked, why have you given us only one
portion of land as our homeland when the Lord has blessed us with so many people?
Joshua replied, if there are so many of you, and if the hill country of Ephraim
is not large enough for you, clear out land for yourselves in the forest
where the parasites and rites live.
The descendants of Joseph responded.
It's true that the hill country is not large enough for us,
but all the Canaanites in the lowlands have iron chariots.
Both those in Beth Shaw and its surrounding settlements, and
those in the valley of Jezreel, they're too strong for us.
Then Joshua said to the tribes of Efraim and Manassa, the descendants of Joseph,
since you are so large and strong, you will be given more than one portion.
The forests of the hill country will be yours as well.
Clear as much of the land as you wish, and take possession of its farthest corners,
and you will drive out the Canaanites from the valleys too, even though they
are strong and have iron chariots.
This concludes today's immerse reading experience.
