Day 170: Division of the Promised Land and Designation of Cities of Refuge

In today's Immerse Bible reading experience, we explore the allocation of the Promised Land among the Israelite tribes as described in the Book of Joshua. Joshua instructs representatives from each tribe to map out their new homeland and details the specific boundaries and towns allotted to the tribes of Benjamin, Simeon, Zebulon, Issachar, Asher, Naftali, and Dan. A special portion is given to Joshua, and the establishment of cities of refuge is discussed, providing a sanctuary for those who committed accidental manslaughter. This reading emphasizes the fulfillment of God's promise to the Israelites and the establishment of justice through designated cities of refuge.
