Malcom: Welcome To Immerse: The
Daily Bible Reading Experience.
Day 100 and 46
while they were camped near
the Jordan River on the plains
of Moab opposite Jericho.
The Lord said to Moses, give the following
instructions to the people of Israel.
When you cross the Jordan River into
the land of Canaan, you must drive
out all the people living there.
You must destroy all their
carved and molten images and
demolish all their pagan shrines.
Take possession of the land and settle
in it because I have given it to you.
To occupy, you must distribute the
land among the clans by sacred lot
and in proportion to their size.
A larger portion of land will be
allotted to each of the larger
clans, and a smaller portion will be
allotted to each of the smaller clans.
The decision of the sacred lot is final.
In this way, the portions of land
will be divided among your ancestral
tribes, but if you fail to drive out
the people who live in the land, those
who remain will be like splinters in
your eyes and thorns in your sides.
They will harass you in the land
where you live, and I will do to you
what I had planned to do to them.
Then the Lord said to Moses, give
these instructions to the Israelites.
When you come into the land of
Canaan, which I am giving you as your
special possession, these will be
the boundaries The southern portion
of your country will extend from the
wilderness of Zen along the edge of Edam.
The southern boundary will begin
on the east at the Dead Sea.
It will then run south past Scorpion
Pass in the direction of Zin.
Its southernmost point will be
Kadish Baria, from which it will
go to hazer Aer, and onto asin.
From asin, the boundary will turn
toward the brook of Egypt and
end at the Mediterranean Sea.
Your western boundary will be the
coastline of the Mediterranean Sea.
Your northern boundary will begin at
the Mediterranean Sea and run east to
Mount whore, then to Libo Hamoth, and on
through Zeed and zin, and to Hazer Enon.
This will be your northern boundary.
The Eastern boundary will start at
Hazer Enon and run south to Shiam, then
down to Rla on the east side of Aen.
From there, the boundary will run
down along the eastern edge of
the Sea of Galilee, and then along
the Jordan River to the Dead Sea.
These are the boundaries of your land.
Then Moses told the Israelites,
this territory is the homeland.
You are to divide among
yourselves by sacred lot.
The Lord has commanded that the
land be divided among the nine
and a half remaining tribes.
The families of the tribes of Rubin
Gad and half the tribe of Vanessa, have
already received their grants of land
on the east side of the Jordan River,
across from Jericho toward the sunrise.
And the Lord said to Moses, LEAs are
the priest and Joshua's son of none.
Are the men designated to divide
the grants of land among the people?
Enlist one leader from each
tribe to help them with the task.
These are the tribes and
the names of the leaders.
Judah Caleb, son of Jauna.
Simeon Shemel, son of Amud.
Benjamin Elided, son of Klin.
Dan Bucky, son of Joggy.
Manasa, son of Joseph Hanniel.
Son of e o.
Ephrem son of Joseph Ul, son of Schon,
Zebulun Zain, son of Par, Issachar
pal, son of Asin Asher Aha Hood, son of
Shami nafta, Pethel, son of Amma Hood.
The these are the men.
The Lord has appointed to
divide the grants of land in
Canaan among the Israelites.
While Israel was camped beside the
Jordan on the plains of Moab, across
from Jericho, the Lord said to
Moses, command the people of Israel
to give to the Levites from their
property, certain towns to live in.
Along with the surrounding pasture
lands, these towns will be for the
Levites to live in and the surrounding
lands will provide pasture for their
cattle, flocks and other livestock.
The pasture land assigned to the Levites
around these towns will extend 1,500 feet
from the town walls in every direction.
Measure off 3000 feet outside the
town walls in every direction,
east, south, west, north.
With the town at the center.
This area will serve as the
larger pasture land for the towns.
Six of the towns you give the
Levites will be cities of refuge.
Where a person who has accidentally
killed someone can flee for safety.
In addition, give them 42 other towns In
all 48 towns with the surrounding pasture,
land will be given to the Levites.
These towns will come from the
property of the people of Israel.
The larger tribes will give
more towns to the Levites.
While the smaller tribes will give
fewer, each tribe will give property
in proportion to the size of its land.
The Lord said to Moses, give the
following instructions to the
people of Israel when you cross
the Jordan into the land of Canaan.
Designate cities of refuge to
which people can flee if they
have killed someone accidentally.
These cities will be places of
protection from a dead person's
relatives who want to avenge the death.
This slayer must not be put to death
before being tried by the community.
Designate six cities of
refuge for yourselves.
Three on the east side of the
Jordan River, and three on the
west in the land of Canaan.
These cities are for the protection
of Israelites, foreigners living
among you and traveling merchants.
Anyone who accidentally kill someone
may flee there for safety, but if
someone strikes and kills another person
with a piece of iron, it is murder
and the murderer must be executed.
Or if someone with a stone in his
hand strikes and kills another
person, it is murder and the
murderer must be put to death.
Or if someone strikes and kills another
person with a wooden object, it is murder
and the murderer must be put to death.
The victim's nearest relative
is responsible for putting the
murderer to death when they meet.
The avenger must put
the murderer to death.
So if someone hates another
person and waits an ambush, then
pushes him or throws something
at him and he dies, it is murder.
Or if someone hates another
person and hits him with a
fist and he dies, it is murder.
In such cases, the avenger must put
the murderer to death when they meet.
But suppose someone pushes another person
without having shown previous hostility.
Or throws something that unintentionally
hits another person or accidentally
drops a huge stone on someone.
Though they were not
enemies and the person dies.
If this should happen, the community
must follow these regulations in
making a judgment between the slayer
and the Avenger, the victim's nearest
relative, the community must protect
the slayer from the avenger and must
escort the slayer back to live in
the city of refuge to which he fled.
There he must remain until the
death of the high priest who was
anointed with the sacred oil.
But if the slayer ever leaves the limits
of the city of refuge and the Avenger
finds him outside the city and kills
him, it will not be considered murder.
The slayer should have stayed
inside the city of refuge until
the death of the high priest.
But after the death of the
high priest, this slayer may
return to his own property.
These are legal requirements for
you to observe from generation to
generation, wherever you may live.
All murderers must be put to
death, but only if evidence is
presented by more than one witness.
No one may be put to death on the
testimony of only one witness.
Also, you must never accept a ransom
payment for the life of someone judged
guilty of murder and subject to execution.
Murderers must always be put to death.
And never accept a ransom payment
from someone who has fled to a
city of refuge, allowing a slayer
to return to his property before
the death of the high priest.
This will ensure that the land where
you live will not be polluted for
murder, pollutes the land, and no
sacrifice except the execution of the
murderer can purify the land for murder.
You must not defile the
land where you live.
For, I live there myself.
I am the Lord who lives
among the people of Israel.
Then the heads of the clans of Gilead,
descendants of make here, son of Manasses,
son of Joseph, came to Moses and the
family leaders of Israel with a petition.
They said, sir, the Lord instructed
you to divide the land by sacred
lot among the people of Israel.
You were told by the Lord to give the
grant of land owned by our brother.
Alofa had to his daughters.
But if they marry men from another tribe,
their grants of land will go with them
to the tribe into which they marry.
In this way, the total area of
our tribal land will be reduced.
Then when the year of Jubilee comes,
their portion of land will be added to
that of the new tribe, causing it to
be lost forever to our ancestral tribe.
So Moses gave the Israelites
this command from the Lord.
The claim of the men of the
tribe of Joseph is legitimate.
This is what the Lord commands concerning
The daughters of Zafa had let them
marry anyone they like as long as it is
within their own and ancestral tribe.
None of the territorial land
may pass from tribe to tribe.
For all the land given to each
tribe must remain within the tribe
to which it was first allotted.
The daughters throughout the tribes
of Israel who are in line to inherit
property must marry within their
tribe so that all the Israelites
will keep their ancestral property.
No grant of land may pass
from one tribe to another.
Each tribe of Israel must keep
its allotted portion of land.
The daughters of Zaha did as
the Lord commanded Moses Mala.
Teza, Hala, Milka, and Noah all
married cousins on their father's side.
They married into the clans
of Manasa son of Joseph.
Thus, their inheritance of land
remained within their ancestral tribe.
These are the commands and regulations
that the Lord gave to the people
of Israel through Moses while
they were camped on the plains
of Moab beside the Jordan River.
Across from Jericho.
