JOSHUA – Conquest JOSHUA – Conquest Week 11: Conquest of the Promised Land (Joshua) Tribal Allotments of Israel The book of Joshua is named Joshua 13:8-19:49 after the central figure in the book, and covers about 25 years. It is the transition book between the Pentateuch (first five books of the Old Testament) and the historical section of the Old Testament. Joshua may be divided into three sections. In Part I, Israel enters the land (1-5). In Part II, they engage the enemy (6-12). In Part III, they establish their territories (13-24). It is the story of the Israelites going in, battling through, and settling down, in the Promised Land. These three divisions answer to the three charges of Joshua to the people. At the beginning (3:1-6), he calls them to sanctify themselves for entering in. In the midst of the battles (8:30-35; Dt. 27), he calls them to recognize the real battle between blessing and cursing, between good and evil, between obedience and disobedience. So the middle charge was to stand for God and continue in His Word. At the end (23-24), Joshua calls Israel together again to Shechem. There he calls the people to serve the Lord (24:14-25) all their days. In fact, the word serve occurs fourteen times in the last two Scanned from Beitzel, Barry, The Moody Atlas chapters. of Bible Lands, Chicago: Moody, 1985. HIS Story - Page 34 JOSHUA – Victory Week 11: Overcoming Sin in our Lives Joshua demonstrates his faith in God as he follows the orders given to him and becomes the new leader. Joshua truly was strong and courageous (1:7). In chapters 1-4, Joshua and the Israelites enter the promise land in an amazing Hazor fashion. As they arrive at the Jordan River, we find details of an incredible, BASHAN miraculous crossing. God shows His inclusive grace to a prostitute named Rahab, the ancestress of King David. Sea of Chinneroth GALILEE Then in chapters 5-12, courageous Joshua first conquers the central part of the Promise Land. This includes the supernatural manner in which they Dor conquered the grand fortress of Jericho. Ai was the next town and although it took two tries (the first one failed due to corruption in the camp), God GILEAD showed Himself strong on their behalf. Next, the Israelites occupied the southern land and then the northern land to complete the occupancy of the Promised Land. However, although they controlled the region, they never did completely conquer it. CANAAN AMMON Finally, in chapters 13-24, the land is divided up and distributed among Shechem the tribes of Israel. Some of the larger cities are placed aside for the Levitical priests who did not receive a portion of land, due to their duties. Lastly, Joshua dies but before he passes he gives one of Gibeon Ai Gilgal the greatest challenges that lasts for all generations, “Choose for Ajalon Gezer yourselves today whom you will serve...as for me and my house, Jericho Makkedah Jerusalem we will serve the Lord” (24:15).

    THE VICTORY AT AI Though the primary cause of defeat the first time around was sin...a Joshua 8:1-29 secondary cause was underestimating the enemy (Joshua 7:3-4). In Joshua 8, God gives the children of Israel a second chance, this time I have given into your hand the king of Ai, his people, his city, to do things His way in the taking of the city of Ai. The momentum and his land (vs. 1b)...The defeat of Ai has been assured.

  • Three Conquests of Canaan
    ÅA Wars in the Middle East are almost an every day part of Eero Junkkaala:of Three Canaan Conquests our lives, and undeniably the history of war in this area is very long indeed. This study examines three such wars, all of which were directed against the Land of Canaan. Two campaigns were conducted by Egyptian Pharaohs and one by the Israelites. The question considered being Eero Junkkaala whether or not these wars really took place. This study gives one methodological viewpoint to answer this ques- tion. The author studies the archaeology of all the geo- Three Conquests of Canaan graphical sites mentioned in the lists of Thutmosis III and A Comparative Study of Two Egyptian Military Campaigns and Shishak and compares them with the cities mentioned in Joshua 10-12 in the Light of Recent Archaeological Evidence the Conquest stories in the Book of Joshua. Altogether 116 sites were studied, and the com- parison between the texts and the archaeological results offered a possibility of establishing whether the cities mentioned, in the sources in question, were inhabited, and, furthermore, might have been destroyed during the time of the Pharaohs and the biblical settlement pe- riod. Despite the nature of the two written sources being so very different it was possible to make a comparative study. This study gives a fresh view on the fierce discus- sion concerning the emergence of the Israelites. It also challenges both Egyptological and biblical studies to use the written texts and the archaeological material togeth- er so that they are not so separated from each other, as is often the case.

  • Joshua 8:1-35 Calvary Baptist Church Sunday, January 14, 2018 Pastor Ben Marshall
    Joshua: All In Passage: Joshua 8:1-35 Calvary Baptist Church Sunday, January 14, 2018 Pastor Ben Marshall Key Goals: (Know) We know that God desires us to be all in for Him. (Feel) We feel a compelling desire to go all in for God. (Do) We will go all in for God. Welcome Have you ever been in a conversation with someone, but you were slightly distracted? For whatever reason, you were not fully invested in the conversation—you had your phone out, or happened to be checking your email or Facebook status, or the TV was on next to you, or you were in a hurry, or you just didn’t really want to be part of the conversation. But then, all of a sudden, there is this awkward silence and you realize the person you were talking to is waiting on a response… Yeah, I’ve never been there either. Just kidding. It happens probably too often to me. It seems to take a lot for us to be all in for something. We have to actually want something, or want what it can give us. We tend to be all in for things like our favorite football team, favorite coffee shop, favorite brand of technology (obviously Apple is the best), and things like that. We become great evangelists and preachers for what we are passionate about. There’s something different when it comes to how we approach spiritual matters. We feel awkward talking about them, almost ashamed that we read the Bible and learned something or went to church and heard something that transformed our lives.

  • “7 the Lord Appeared to Abram and Said, “To Your Offspring I Will Give This Land.” So He Built an Altar There to the Lord, Who Had Appeared to Him
    Introduction Genesis 12:7-8—“7 The Lord appeared to Abram and said, “To your offspring I will give this land.” So he built an altar there to the Lord, who had appeared to him. 8 From there he went on toward the hills east of Bethel and pitched his tent, with Bethel on the west and Ai on the east. There he built an altar to the Lord and called on the name of the Lord.” Abram: Idol worshipper Ur of the Chaldees (S Iraq—ruins still there, ziggurat, photos on the Internet of the ruins of the ziggurat) Speculated—Abram from wealthy family…had means to travel with father and family…wealth from making & selling idols, the HS reached down to this profiteer…idol maker & idol worshipper …just as He reached down one day to me and to you …with the message of justification by faith …and just like Abram, we were called out from our slavery to sin and to the world’s values …and challenged to begin a new life …and travel to a new destination with the Lord our God. Hebrews 11:8—By faith Abraham, when called to go to a place he would later receive as his inheritance, obeyed and went, even though he did not know where he was going …and we were called, too, when confronted by the gospel, to begin our own journey to that which is promised us by our Lord…eternal life in His presence. …James 2:23 tells us Abraham answered God’s call…and therefore was a friend of God.

When and where the process of state formation took place in the biblical kingdom of Judah is heavily debated. Our regional project in the southwestern part of Judah, carried out from 2007 to the present, includes the excavation of three Iron Age sites: Khirbet Qeiyafa, Tel Lachish, and Khirbet al-Ra’i. New cultural horizons and new fortification systems have been uncovered, and these discoveries have been dated by 59 radiometric determinations. The controversial question of when the kingdom was able to build a fortified city at Lachish, its foremost center after Jerusalem, is now resolved thanks to the excavation of a previously unknown city wall, dated by radiocarbon (14C) to the second half of the 10th century BCE. KEYWORDS: Iron Age, Kingdom of Judah, Khirbet al-Ra’i, Khirbet Qeiyafa, Lachish, radiometric chronology. INTRODUCTION The debate over the chronology of the Iron Age is one of the central controversies in the current scholarship of the archaeology of the southern Levant as well as biblical studies.

  • Joshua's Total Solar Eclipse at Gibeon
    IN ORIGINAL FORM PUBLISHED IN: arXiv:****.***** [physics.hist-ph] Habilitation at the University of Heidelberg Date: 18th February 2021 Joshua’s Total Solar Eclipse at Gibeon Emil Khalisi D–69126 Heidelberg, Germany e-mail: ekhalisi[at]khalisi[dot]com Abstract. We reanalyse the solar eclipse linked to the Biblical passage about the military leader Joshua who ordered the sun to halt in the midst of the day (Joshua 10:12). Although there is agreement that the basic story is rooted in a real event, the date is subject to different opinions. We review the historical emergence of the text and confirm that the total eclipse of the sun of 30 September 1131 BCE is the most likely candidate. The Besselian Elements for this eclipse are re-computed. The error for the deceleration parameter of Earth’s rotation, ∆T, is improved by a factor of 2.
