    Genesis 36:15-19

    These were dukes of the sons of ESAU: the sons of Eliphaz the firstborn son of Esau; duke Teman, duke Omar, duke Zepho, duke Kenaz,

    Duke Korah, duke Gatam, and duke Amalek: these are the dukes that came of Eliphaz in the land of Edom; these were the sons of Adah.

  • TRIBES OF ISRAEL - In Reply on Revelation 2 - 3 years ago
    John the Apostle omits the tribe of Dan when mentioning the twelve tribes of the sons of Israel, in regard to the 144,000 sealed Israelites. Instead of Dan, the tribe of Joseph appears twice (being also represented by Manasseh).

    Ten Lost Tribes of Israel, 10 of the original 12 Hebrew tribes, which, under the leadership of Joshua, took possession of Canaan, the Promised Land, after the death of Moses. They were named Asher, Dan, Ephraim, Gad, Issachar, Manasseh, Naphtali, Reuben, Simeon, and Zebulun-all sons or grandsons of Jacob.

    The Book of Joshua records that the tribes of Reuben, Gad and half of Manasseh were allocated land by Moses on the eastern side of the Jordan River and the Dead Sea ( Joshua 13:15-23). ... By 900 BC, some of the territory and Reuben and Gad had been captured by the Moabite kingdom.

    The Levites do not get an inheritance of land; rather, they are scattered among the other tribes through the allocation of cities among the other tribes.

    You're going to have to google reputable websites; even Jewish ones.

    We see the division of the Land of Canaan "by lot" quite often, beginning at Joshua 13:6: "All the inhabitants of the hill country from Lebanon unto Misrephothmaim, and all the Sidonians, them will I drive out from before the children of Israel: only divide thou it by lot unto the Israelites for an inheritance, as I have commanded thee."

    We're not told how Joshua made the "division of the land for an inheritance unto the nine tribes, and the half tribe of Manasseh" (v7), whether by a Word from God or by simply dividing up the land & allocating portions to the tribes of Israel (not forgetting that Levi, Manasseh & Ephraim received no allocation). Maybe, the tribes that received their portions had some say as to where they would prefer to settle on the western side of the Jordan River. So to 'divide by lot' in this case, would mean to allocate the land to the various tribes, whether by 'lottery' or specifically according to the tribes' preferences.

  • Annysia on Joshua 13 - 4 years ago
    God always gives us something, and sometimes we don't understand how much His gifts are truly worth. Take the Levites for example. Every other tribe got rich lands from the Lord while their inheritance was "God Himself". When we are given gifts, we don't ask the person giving the gift, "Why couldn't you have given me something else?". Instead, we say thank you and treasure the thought that came with giving the gift.

    Pauloiding, yes Giants literally mean giants in these Old Testament Scriptures. This is evidenced in the description of King Og bed frame of 13"Ft. Glory be to God in the highest through our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ! Amen.

  • Insight 777 on Joshua 13 - 9 years ago
    I think the tribe of Levi represents the military sector of Israel. The military conquers land yet not to control it themselves. The military has the power but also the pledge of obedience to the will of the other tribes that support the tribe of Levi. Israel is under the guidance of religious laws. The inheritance of the tribe of Levi is to receive orders and carry them out without the self interest of monetary gain.

    I want to know the spiritual meaning of Gazah, and of Ashdod, of Eshkalon, of Gath, and of Ekron; also the Avvites. Could you kindly help me without delay.
    With warm regards
  • Samuel Kel on Joshua 13 - 12 years ago
    Not just that Joshua should wake up but that we in this present dispensation should arise and preach the Woed and leave it, frowning at what God would frown at. We have been commanded in Mathew 28v18-20 to go out and spread the Word, it is a command not a suggestion from the Lord. How many are doing this and conquering lands (souls) for JESUS, how many compared to the millions of professed christians? We must wake up before it is nightfall.
  • Pauloiding on Joshua 13:12 - 12 years ago
    Does the word giant here means literally that or is it something else?
  • Eze d on Joshua 13 - 12 years ago
