Day 169: The Remaining Tribes of Israel Receive Their Land in Canaan

In today's Immerse Bible reading experience, we explore how the remaining tribes of Israel received their land in Canaan as allotted by Eliezer the priest, Joshua son of Nun, and the tribal leaders. This detailed account describes the division of the land, including the grants given to the nine and a half tribes by sacred lots in accordance with the Lord's command through Moses. We also learn about the promise made to Caleb, son of Jephunneh, and the land awarded to him. The boundaries and towns allocated to the tribe of Judah are outlined, including prominent locations such as Hebron and the surrounding regions. Additionally, the episode covers the allotments for the descendants of Joseph, particularly the clans of the tribes of Ephraim and Manasseh. Despite challenges from the Canaanites, the Israelites' divine promise and their efforts to claim their inheritance in the Promised Land are emphasized.
