"CGW Women's Ministry: Ninth Crisis - Rehearsing the Victories of Moses and Joshua" (Lesson #13)

Ninth Crisis – Rehearsing the Victories of Moses and Joshua on both sides of the River Jordan and Allotting the Boundaries of Tribes (Chapters 13-19) Joshua is now old. No, not all the land is claimed or possessed. But it is time to allot which tribes would have which lands and to reward those of faithful service. Honoring Moses (two battles he won), instructions for the two and a half tribes across the Jordan, chap.13-17. Granting Caleb’s inheritance (14:6-13) and land allotments to Joseph and Joshua (16:1-19). It seems important, even necessary, to mention that God gave Joshua victories (31 battles won). The rest of the assignments of borders and allotments of the land are recorded. These are permanent assertions of God keeping His promises. There are also reminders of Israel’s army of victories and failures. This assigns responsibility and meaning to the lessons learned. Israel now has the privileges of these hard-fought, enemy-infested, God-promised and given lands. This is a record for their children and their children’s children. *The rest of the land to be conquered — (18:1-10). This is a record for their children and their children’s children. Get up and go do it! Chapters 18-19.
