Joshua 15:14 – In the midst of a rather dry passage about the allotment of the land that reads like a property deed, is this: “And Caleb drove out from there the three sons of Anak, Sheshai and Ahiman and Talmai, the descendants of Anak.<\/em>” not bad for an 85 year old guy. If he can muster that kind of zeal at 85, having sustained it for 45 years, why can’t I muster the motivation to read, pray and share my faith regularly? Sigh.
\nJoshua 15:16 – Joshua<\/strike> Caleb promises his daughter to the one who captures a certain part of the land. He’s 85, so his daughter is, what, 60 something at least, right? \ud83d\ude00
\nJoshua 15:63 – More evidence that Israel did not complete driving out the Canaanites. So why, back in Joshua 11, did it say that “Joshua took the whole land<\/em>“? I suppose Joshua did all that God had called him to do, it was up to the people to finish the work.
\nJoshua 16:10 – More unfinished work …
\nJoshua 17:12-13 – And more …
\nJoshua 17:14-18 – The people of the tribe of Joseph complain that they don’t have enough land, but Joshua points out that they do, they only need to clear the forests and drive out the Canaanites living there. When they complain that the people are too strong (They have iron chariots!), he stands firm, saying that they can do it. It seems that the people, when together and under Joshua’s leadership, are bold, but on their own they are weak and timid.
\nJoshua 18:3 – This passage seems to confirm it, “How long will you put off going in to take possession of the land<\/em>?” Joshua asks. But I wonder, it seems that up front God charged the tribes with allotments on the east side of the Jordan to stick with their brothers until the land was conquered, why wouldn’t that apply here? If I was of those tribes challenged to go and finish the work, I’d be wondering why I had to go it alone. It seems that once the big battles were won, the unity of the nation began to falter and each tribe was left to fend for themselves, which doesn’t seem to have been God’s plan.
\n(I skimmed over much of these chapters, since it was about ancient boundaries in a land I’m likely to never see. :-D)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
