--> 00:00:07.440 while they were camped near the Jordan River on the plains 00:00:07.440 --> 00:00:09.300 of Moab opposite Jericho. 00:00:09.690 --> 00:00:14.130 The Lord said to Moses, give the following instructions to the people of Israel. 00:00:14.790 --> 00:00:18.780 When you cross the Jordan River into the land of Canaan, you must drive 00:00:18.780 --> 00:00:20.490 out all the people living there. 00:00:21.030 --> 00:00:24.750 You must destroy all their carved and molten images and 00:00:24.750 --> 00:00:26.790 demolish all their pagan shrines. 00:00:27.390 --> 00:00:31.410 Take possession of the land and settle in it because I have given it to you. 00:00:31.410 --> 00:00:36.450 To occupy, you must distribute the land among the clans by sacred lot 00:00:36.900 --> 00:00:38.820 and in proportion to their size. 00:00:39.450 --> 00:00:42.510 A larger portion of land will be allotted to each of the larger 00:00:42.510 --> 00:00:46.770 clans, and a smaller portion will be allotted to each of the smaller clans. 00:00:47.490 --> 00:00:50.040 The decision of the sacred lot is final. 00:00:50.715 --> 00:00:54.615 In this way, the portions of land will be divided among your ancestral 00:00:54.615 --> 00:00:59.955 tribes, but if you fail to drive out the people who live in the land, those 00:00:59.955 --> 00:01:04.485 who remain will be like splinters in your eyes and thorns in your sides. 00:01:04.995 --> 00:01:09.255 They will harass you in the land where you live, and I will do to you 00:01:09.525 --> 00:01:11.445 what I had planned to do to them. 00:01:13.005 --> 00:01:17.145 Then the Lord said to Moses, give these instructions to the Israelites. 00:01:17.700 --> 00:01:20.970 When you come into the land of Canaan, which I am giving you as your 00:01:20.970 --> 00:01:25.440 special possession, these will be the boundaries The southern portion 00:01:25.440 --> 00:01:29.790 of your country will extend from the wilderness of Zen along the edge of Edam. 00:01:30.420 --> 00:01:33.750 The southern boundary will begin on the east at the Dead Sea. 00:01:34.290 --> 00:01:38.580 It will then run south past Scorpion Pass in the direction of Zin. 00:01:39.420 --> 00:01:43.500 Its southernmost point will be Kadish Baria, from which it will 00:01:43.500 --> 00:01:46.770 go to hazer Aer, and onto asin. 00:01:47.325 --> 00:01:51.525 From asin, the boundary will turn toward the brook of Egypt and 00:01:51.525 --> 00:01:53.325 end at the Mediterranean Sea. 00:01:54.345 --> 00:01:58.185 Your western boundary will be the coastline of the Mediterranean Sea. 00:01:59.505 --> 00:02:04.275 Your northern boundary will begin at the Mediterranean Sea and run east to 00:02:04.280 --> 00:02:11.355 Mount whore, then to Libo Hamoth, and on through Zeed and zin, and to Hazer Enon. 00:02:12.015 --> 00:02:13.785 This will be your northern boundary. 00:02:14.985 --> 00:02:20.475 The Eastern boundary will start at Hazer Enon and run south to Shiam, then 00:02:20.475 --> 00:02:23.085 down to Rla on the east side of Aen. 00:02:23.775 --> 00:02:27.135 From there, the boundary will run down along the eastern edge of 00:02:27.135 --> 00:02:31.395 the Sea of Galilee, and then along the Jordan River to the Dead Sea. 00:02:32.175 --> 00:02:34.305 These are the boundaries of your land. 00:02:35.685 --> 00:02:39.795 Then Moses told the Israelites, this territory is the homeland. 00:02:39.795 --> 00:02:42.615 You are to divide among yourselves by sacred lot. 00:02:43.350 --> 00:02:46.530 The Lord has commanded that the land be divided among the nine 00:02:46.530 --> 00:02:48.120 and a half remaining tribes. 00:02:48.840 --> 00:02:53.970 The families of the tribes of Rubin Gad and half the tribe of Vanessa, have 00:02:53.970 --> 00:02:57.960 already received their grants of land on the east side of the Jordan River, 00:02:58.200 --> 00:03:00.990 across from Jericho toward the sunrise. 00:03:02.160 --> 00:03:07.080 And the Lord said to Moses, LEAs are the priest and Joshua's son of none. 00:03:07.380 --> 00:03:11.100 Are the men designated to divide the grants of land among the people? 00:03:11.775 --> 00:03:15.075 Enlist one leader from each tribe to help them with the task. 00:03:15.765 --> 00:03:18.315 These are the tribes and the names of the leaders. 00:03:18.915 --> 00:03:21.825 Judah Caleb, son of Jauna. 00:03:22.455 --> 00:03:25.815 Simeon Shemel, son of Amud. 00:03:26.865 --> 00:03:29.985 Benjamin Elided, son of Klin. 00:03:31.095 --> 00:03:34.005 Dan Bucky, son of Joggy. 00:03:35.055 --> 00:03:37.755 Manasa, son of Joseph Hanniel. 00:03:37.785 --> 00:03:38.235 Son of e o. 00:03:39.795 --> 00:03:49.465 Ephrem son of Joseph Ul, son of Schon, Zebulun Zain, son of Par, Issachar 00:03:50.025 --> 00:04:00.375 pal, son of Asin Asher Aha Hood, son of Shami nafta, Pethel, son of Amma Hood. 00:04:01.575 --> 00:04:02.355 The these are the men. 00:04:02.355 --> 00:04:05.145 The Lord has appointed to divide the grants of land in 00:04:05.150 --> 00:04:06.945 Canaan among the Israelites. 00:04:09.105 --> 00:04:13.005 While Israel was camped beside the Jordan on the plains of Moab, across 00:04:13.005 --> 00:04:17.535 from Jericho, the Lord said to Moses, command the people of Israel 00:04:17.565 --> 00:04:21.315 to give to the Levites from their property, certain towns to live in. 00:04:21.765 --> 00:04:25.845 Along with the surrounding pasture lands, these towns will be for the 00:04:25.845 --> 00:04:30.075 Levites to live in and the surrounding lands will provide pasture for their 00:04:30.075 --> 00:04:32.535 cattle, flocks and other livestock. 00:04:33.390 --> 00:04:39.180 The pasture land assigned to the Levites around these towns will extend 1,500 feet 00:04:39.180 --> 00:04:41.250 from the town walls in every direction. 00:04:42.120 --> 00:04:46.230 Measure off 3000 feet outside the town walls in every direction, 00:04:46.590 --> 00:04:49.380 east, south, west, north. 00:04:49.800 --> 00:04:51.300 With the town at the center. 00:04:52.110 --> 00:04:55.620 This area will serve as the larger pasture land for the towns. 00:04:57.030 --> 00:04:59.970 Six of the towns you give the Levites will be cities of refuge. 00:05:00.615 --> 00:05:04.365 Where a person who has accidentally killed someone can flee for safety. 00:05:05.055 --> 00:05:11.715 In addition, give them 42 other towns In all 48 towns with the surrounding pasture, 00:05:11.715 --> 00:05:13.455 land will be given to the Levites. 00:05:14.085 --> 00:05:17.325 These towns will come from the property of the people of Israel. 00:05:18.225 --> 00:05:21.225 The larger tribes will give more towns to the Levites. 00:05:21.585 --> 00:05:26.295 While the smaller tribes will give fewer, each tribe will give property 00:05:26.325 --> 00:05:28.455 in proportion to the size of its land. 00:05:30.555 --> 00:05:34.095 The Lord said to Moses, give the following instructions to the 00:05:34.095 --> 00:05:38.595 people of Israel when you cross the Jordan into the land of Canaan. 00:05:38.985 --> 00:05:42.195 Designate cities of refuge to which people can flee if they 00:05:42.195 --> 00:05:43.815 have killed someone accidentally. 00:05:44.505 --> 00:05:47.985 These cities will be places of protection from a dead person's 00:05:47.985 --> 00:05:50.265 relatives who want to avenge the death. 00:05:51.045 --> 00:05:55.095 This slayer must not be put to death before being tried by the community. 00:05:56.100 --> 00:05:58.680 Designate six cities of refuge for yourselves. 00:05:59.040 --> 00:06:02.250 Three on the east side of the Jordan River, and three on the 00:06:02.250 --> 00:06:03.900 west in the land of Canaan. 00:06:04.890 --> 00:06:08.580 These cities are for the protection of Israelites, foreigners living 00:06:08.580 --> 00:06:10.620 among you and traveling merchants. 00:06:11.280 --> 00:06:16.470 Anyone who accidentally kill someone may flee there for safety, but if 00:06:16.470 --> 00:06:20.520 someone strikes and kills another person with a piece of iron, it is murder 00:06:20.850 --> 00:06:22.560 and the murderer must be executed. 00:06:23.730 --> 00:06:26.970 Or if someone with a stone in his hand strikes and kills another 00:06:26.970 --> 00:06:31.050 person, it is murder and the murderer must be put to death. 00:06:32.040 --> 00:06:36.540 Or if someone strikes and kills another person with a wooden object, it is murder 00:06:36.780 --> 00:06:38.820 and the murderer must be put to death. 00:06:39.750 --> 00:06:42.930 The victim's nearest relative is responsible for putting the 00:06:42.930 --> 00:06:45.390 murderer to death when they meet. 00:06:45.720 --> 00:06:48.210 The avenger must put the murderer to death. 00:06:49.050 --> 00:06:52.980 So if someone hates another person and waits an ambush, then 00:06:52.980 --> 00:06:57.330 pushes him or throws something at him and he dies, it is murder. 00:06:58.110 --> 00:07:00.960 Or if someone hates another person and hits him with a 00:07:00.965 --> 00:07:03.450 fist and he dies, it is murder. 00:07:04.200 --> 00:07:08.580 In such cases, the avenger must put the murderer to death when they meet. 00:07:09.780 --> 00:07:14.940 But suppose someone pushes another person without having shown previous hostility. 00:07:15.420 --> 00:07:20.070 Or throws something that unintentionally hits another person or accidentally 00:07:20.070 --> 00:07:21.930 drops a huge stone on someone. 00:07:22.140 --> 00:07:24.900 Though they were not enemies and the person dies. 00:07:25.710 --> 00:07:29.760 If this should happen, the community must follow these regulations in 00:07:29.760 --> 00:07:33.810 making a judgment between the slayer and the Avenger, the victim's nearest 00:07:33.810 --> 00:07:38.910 relative, the community must protect the slayer from the avenger and must 00:07:38.910 --> 00:07:42.780 escort the slayer back to live in the city of refuge to which he fled. 00:07:43.590 --> 00:07:47.220 There he must remain until the death of the high priest who was 00:07:47.220 --> 00:07:48.810 anointed with the sacred oil. 00:07:50.250 --> 00:07:54.420 But if the slayer ever leaves the limits of the city of refuge and the Avenger 00:07:54.420 --> 00:07:58.680 finds him outside the city and kills him, it will not be considered murder. 00:07:59.310 --> 00:08:02.820 The slayer should have stayed inside the city of refuge until 00:08:02.825 --> 00:08:04.290 the death of the high priest. 00:08:05.070 --> 00:08:07.890 But after the death of the high priest, this slayer may 00:08:07.890 --> 00:08:09.540 return to his own property. 00:08:10.125 --> 00:08:13.965 These are legal requirements for you to observe from generation to 00:08:13.965 --> 00:08:16.455 generation, wherever you may live. 00:08:17.595 --> 00:08:21.555 All murderers must be put to death, but only if evidence is 00:08:21.555 --> 00:08:23.535 presented by more than one witness. 00:08:24.285 --> 00:08:27.795 No one may be put to death on the testimony of only one witness. 00:08:28.605 --> 00:08:33.225 Also, you must never accept a ransom payment for the life of someone judged 00:08:33.225 --> 00:08:36.165 guilty of murder and subject to execution. 00:08:36.645 --> 00:08:38.985 Murderers must always be put to death. 00:08:39.645 --> 00:08:43.155 And never accept a ransom payment from someone who has fled to a 00:08:43.155 --> 00:08:47.145 city of refuge, allowing a slayer to return to his property before 00:08:47.145 --> 00:08:48.435 the death of the high priest. 00:08:49.065 --> 00:08:52.785 This will ensure that the land where you live will not be polluted for 00:08:52.785 --> 00:08:58.155 murder, pollutes the land, and no sacrifice except the execution of the 00:08:58.155 --> 00:09:00.945 murderer can purify the land for murder. 00:09:01.635 --> 00:09:04.275 You must not defile the land where you live. 00:09:04.605 --> 00:09:06.195 For, I live there myself. 00:09:06.885 --> 00:09:10.455 I am the Lord who lives among the people of Israel. 00:09:13.035 --> 00:09:17.745 Then the heads of the clans of Gilead, descendants of make here, son of Manasses, 00:09:17.835 --> 00:09:22.665 son of Joseph, came to Moses and the family leaders of Israel with a petition. 00:09:23.265 --> 00:09:27.855 They said, sir, the Lord instructed you to divide the land by sacred 00:09:27.855 --> 00:09:29.655 lot among the people of Israel. 00:09:30.300 --> 00:09:34.110 You were told by the Lord to give the grant of land owned by our brother. 00:09:34.110 --> 00:09:36.090 Alofa had to his daughters. 00:09:36.840 --> 00:09:41.610 But if they marry men from another tribe, their grants of land will go with them 00:09:41.610 --> 00:09:43.500 to the tribe into which they marry. 00:09:44.520 --> 00:09:48.720 In this way, the total area of our tribal land will be reduced. 00:09:49.320 --> 00:09:53.580 Then when the year of Jubilee comes, their portion of land will be added to 00:09:53.580 --> 00:09:58.560 that of the new tribe, causing it to be lost forever to our ancestral tribe. 00:09:59.580 --> 00:10:02.610 So Moses gave the Israelites this command from the Lord. 00:10:03.360 --> 00:10:06.600 The claim of the men of the tribe of Joseph is legitimate. 00:10:07.380 --> 00:10:12.180 This is what the Lord commands concerning The daughters of Zafa had let them 00:10:12.180 --> 00:10:17.010 marry anyone they like as long as it is within their own and ancestral tribe. 00:10:17.760 --> 00:10:21.150 None of the territorial land may pass from tribe to tribe. 00:10:21.600 --> 00:10:25.950 For all the land given to each tribe must remain within the tribe 00:10:25.950 --> 00:10:27.300 to which it was first allotted. 00:10:28.245 --> 00:10:31.875 The daughters throughout the tribes of Israel who are in line to inherit 00:10:31.875 --> 00:10:36.555 property must marry within their tribe so that all the Israelites 00:10:36.560 --> 00:10:38.685 will keep their ancestral property. 00:10:39.255 --> 00:10:42.525 No grant of land may pass from one tribe to another. 00:10:43.035 --> 00:10:46.965 Each tribe of Israel must keep its allotted portion of land. 00:10:48.345 --> 00:10:53.085 The daughters of Zaha did as the Lord commanded Moses Mala. 00:10:53.775 --> 00:11:00.105 Teza, Hala, Milka, and Noah all married cousins on their father's side. 00:11:00.705 --> 00:11:03.705 They married into the clans of Manasa son of Joseph. 00:11:04.305 --> 00:11:08.715 Thus, their inheritance of land remained within their ancestral tribe. 00:11:10.185 --> 00:11:13.965 These are the commands and regulations that the Lord gave to the people 00:11:13.965 --> 00:11:17.295 of Israel through Moses while they were camped on the plains 00:11:17.295 --> 00:11:19.485 of Moab beside the Jordan River. 00:11:19.980 --> 00:11:21.270 Across from Jericho. 00:11:26.640 --> 00:11:29.490 This concludes today's Immer Reading Experience. 00:11:29.640 --> 00:11:30.870 Thank you for joining us. 00:11:31.010 --> 00:11:31.230 Hi.
