Joshua 19-21, Psalm 75

About this episode

The episode discusses the division of the Promised Land among the tribes of Israel and the joy associated with it.

Now that the majority of the Promised Land has been conquered, the land is being divided by lot and by size according to the number of people in each tribe. Today’s reading is the last section of text detailing the division of the land, and as a reminder from the last episode, consider the excitement and the joy that Israel experienced as each family learned where they would live and work and thrive for generations to come. While the descriptions may seem abstract to us, they were concrete and tangible pieces of land for Israel. Today’s reading ends with a joyful conclusion, so make sure to pay attention.
