Joshua: Week 12

Following the conquering of the North and South, God instructs Joshua to go ahead and allot the land to the tribes of Israel. It will be each tribe’s responsibility to obey the Lord and conquer the territory they are allotted. This list of towns, villages, rivers, and other geographical markers are the tangible description of God’s promise fulfilled to His people! The Israelites will wrestle between believing in Yahweh’s mighty power that they have seen and experienced and believing in their own strength and ability when they see huge armies in front of them as they are sent to conquer their lang. Will they trust that God will drive out their enemies?
