Joshua
Chapter
13
{Note:
RBT finished the rest of the book of Joshua in one evening. Much of
the study was to get the gist, not the exact translation. Only
~~verses were taught by RBT in his Joshua series.}
1~~Now
Joshua was old and stricken in years;
and
Jehovah/God said unto him,
"You
are old and stricken in years
{Joshua worn out physically, but the work was not done},
and
there remained
yet
very much land to be possessed."
{Note:
The phrase 'old and stricken in years' means his normal old age has
been reached but God continues to keep him on the earth for a special purpose.}
{Pockets
of Resistance}
2-6~~"This
is the land that yet remained
all
the borders of the Philistines,
and
all Geshuri: 3~~
from
Sihor, which is before Egypt,
even
unto the borders of Ekron northward,
which
is counted to the Canaanite:
five
lords of the Philistines;
the
Gazathites, and the Ashdothites, the Eshkalonites,
the
Gittites, and the Ekronites;
also
the Avites {giants further south}.4~~
From
the south, all the land of the Canaanites,
and
Mearah that is beside the Sidonians unto Aphek,
to
the borders of the Amorites. 5~~
And
the land of the Giblites,
and
all Lebanon,
toward
the sun rising,
from
Baalgad under mount Hermon
unto
the entering into Hamath. 6~~
All
the inhabitants of the hill country
from
Lebanon unto Misrephothmaim,
and
all the Sidonians,
them
I will drive out from before the children of Israel.
Only
divide you it by lot unto the Israelites for an inheritance,
as
I have commanded you."
{Note:
The promised land was never fully taken by the Jews. It will not be
done so until the return of Jesus Christ. This is a picture of live
in time after salvation (Phase II). We will have many victories when
filled with the Spirit. But our Old Sin Nature is never completely
defeated and there will be pockets of resistance.}
{Why
Joshua was kept Alive - to Divide Up the Land Among the Tribes of Israel}
7-13~~"Now
therefore divide this land for an inheritance
unto
the nine tribes,
and
the half tribe of Manasseh, 8~~
with
whom the Reubenites and the Gadites
have
received their inheritance,
which
Moses gave them, beyond Jordan eastward,
{these 2 1/2 Tribes have received their inheritance on the east side
of the Jordan - Next the other 9 ½ tribes will be issued their
inheritance}
even
as Moses the servant of Jehovah/God gave them. 9
From
Aroer, that is upon the bank of the river Arnon,
and
the city that is in the midst of the river,
and
all the plain of Medeba unto Dibon 10
And
all the cities of Sihon king of the Amorites,
which
reigned in Heshbon,
unto
the border of the children of Ammon; 11
And
Gilead, and the border of the Geshurites and Maachathites,
and
all mount Hermon,
and
all Bashan unto Salcah. 12
All
the kingdom of Og in Bashan,
which
reigned in Ashtaroth and in Edrei,
who
remained of the remnant of the giants
for
these did Moses smite, and cast them out.13
Nevertheless
the children of Israel expelled not the Geshurites,
nor
the Maachathites.
But
the Geshurites and the Maachathites
dwell
among the Israelites until this day."
{Exception
to the All the Tribes Receiving Inheritances - the Levi}
14~~Only
unto the tribe of Levi He gave no inheritance.
The
sacrifices of the Jehovah/God
'Elohiym/Godhead
of Israel
made
by fire are their inheritance,
as
He said unto them.
{Note:
First was the sin of Levi in Genesis 34. The result and prophecy is
described in Genesis 49:5-7. But the cursing was turned to blessing.
They either or both became regenerate and rebounded and became the
spiritual leadership of the land.}
{Verses
15-33: Area Previously Settled and Portioned out in Three Parts}
{Note:
Up north was the ½ tribe of Manasseh, then Gad, and Ruben - all
settled on the east side of the Jordan.}
{Tribe
of Reuben's Inheritance}
15
And Moses gave unto the tribe of the children of Reuben
inheritance
according to their families.
16-21
And their coast was from Aroer,
that
is on the bank of the river Arnon,
and
the city that is in the midst of the river,
and
all the plain by Medeba. 17
Heshbon,
and all her cities that are in the plain.
Dibon,
and Bamothbaal, and Bethbaalmeon, 18
and
Jahaza, and Kedemoth, and Mephaath, 19
and
Kirjathaim, and Sibmah, and Zarethshahar
in
the mount of the valley, 20
and
Bethpeor, and Ashdothpisgah, and Bethjeshimoth, 21
and
all the cities of the plain,
and
all the kingdom of Sihon - king of the Amorites,
who
reigned in Heshbon,
whom
Moses smote with the princes of Midian, Evi, and Rekem,
and
Zur, and Hur, and Reba,
who
were dukes of Sihon,
dwelling
in the country.
22
Balaam also the son of Beor, the soothsayer,
did
the children of Israel slay with the sword
among
those that were slain by them.
23
And the border of the children of Reuben was Jordan,
and
the border thereof.
This
was the inheritance of the children of Reuben after their families,
the
cities and the villages thereof.
{Tribe
of Gad's Inheritance}
24~~And
Moses gave inheritance unto the tribe of Gad,
even
unto the children of Gad according to their families.
25-27
And their coast was Jazer,
and
all the cities of Gilead,
and
half the land of the children of Ammon,
unto
Aroer that is before Rabbah 26
and
from Heshbon unto Ramathmizpeh, and Betonim;
and
from Mahanaim unto the border of Debir; 27
and
in the valley, Betharam, and Bethnimrah,
and
Succoth, and Zaphon,
the
rest of the kingdom of Sihon king of Heshbon,
Jordan
and his border,
even
unto the edge of the sea of Chinnereth
on
the other side Jordan eastward.
28
This is the inheritance of the children of Gad after their families,
the cities, and their villages.
{1/2
Tribe of Manasseh's Inheritance}
29
And Moses gave inheritance unto the half tribe of Manasseh.
And
this was the possession of the half tribe
of
the children of Manasseh by their families.
30-31
And their coast was from Mahanaim, all Bashan,
all
the kingdom of Og king of Bashan,
and
all the towns of Jair,
which
are in Bashan, threescore cities: 31
And
half Gilead, and Ashtaroth, and Edrei,
cities
of the kingdom of Og in Bashan,
were
pertaining unto the children of Machir the son of Manasseh,
even
to the one half of the children of Machir by their families.
32
These are the countries
which
Moses did distribute for inheritance in the plains of Moab,
on
the other side Jordan, by Jericho, eastward.
{A
Different Emphasis on No Inheritance for Levi}
33~~But
unto the tribe of Levi
Moses
gave not any inheritance.
Jehovah/God
. . . 'Elohiym/Godhead of Israel
was
their inheritance,
as
He said unto them.
