It is easy to get lost in Joshua 13 and 14.
Someone has said, “Most of this long section reads like a real estate deed.” And that is precisely what is found in these lengthy narrations [1]
However, we must understand that Israel is coming off of 430 years in Egypt, 40 years wandering in the wilderness, and 7 years of war. Finally, God's promise to Abraham will be complete.
There is still work to do (13:1-7)
- According to Joshua 24:9, how old was Joshua when he died?
- Joshua was 110 years old when he died which means that he was probably 100 years old at this point.
- According to the beginning of verse 2, what still needed to be completed?
- There was still land to be conquered.
- What did God command Joshua to do in verse 7?
- God commanded Joshua to divide the land. In particular, the individual tribes are now responsible for finishing the conquest. The major victories have been won and now the baton is being passed onto the next generation.
East of the Jordan (13:8-32)
It may be useful to hand out copies of a map as you discuss the rest of chapter 13.
What about Levi (14:1-5)
Confidence (14:6-15)
