  • 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.

  • 088 March 29 Chronological Synopsis of the Bible
    © Nathan E. Brown March 29 – Chronological Synopsis of the Bible – LEB Version comeafterme.com Cities of Refuge (1400 BC) Joshua 20 1 And Yahweh spoke to Joshua, saying, 2 “Speak to the Israelites, saying, ‘Appoint for yourselves cities of refuge, of which I spoke to you through the hand of Moses. 3 Anyone who kills a person by accident or unintentionally may flee there; they will be for yourselves a refuge from the avenger of blood. 4 The killer will flee to one of these cities, stand at the entrance of the gate of the city, and state his case to the elders of that city; and they will take him into the city and give him a place, and he will dwell among them. 5 And if the avenger of blood pursues after him, they will not hand over the killer into his hand, because he killed his neighbor unintentionally, and he did not hate him previously. 6 The killer will stay in that city until he stands before the congregation for the trial, until the death of the one who is the high priest in those days. Then the killer will return to his city and to his house, to the city from which he fled.’” 7 So they set apart Kedesh in Galilee in the hill country of Naphtali, Shechem in the hill country of Ephraim, and Kiriath Arba (that is, Hebron) in the hill country of Judah. 8 Beyond the Jordan east of Jericho, they appointed Bezer in the wilderness on the plateau, from the tribe of Reuben, Ramoth in Gilead, from the tribe of Gad, and Golan in the Bashan, from the tribe of Manasseh.

  • The Book of Joshua
    The Book Of Joshua The Argument In this book the holy Ghost setteth most lively before eyes the accomplishment of God’s promise, who as he promised by the mouth of Moses, that a Prophet should be raised up unto the people like unto him, whom he willeth to obey, Deut. 18:15 : so he showeth himself here true in his promise, as at all other times, and after the death of Moses his faithful servant, he raiseth up Joshua to be a ruler and governor over his people, that neither they should be discouraged for lack of a captain, nor have occasion to distrust God’s promises hereafter. And because that Joshua might be confirmed in his vocation, and the people also might have none occasion to grudge, as though he were not approved of God: he is adorned with most excellent gifts and graces of God, both to govern the people with counsel, and to defend them with strength, that he lacketh nothing which either belongeth to a valiant captain, or a faithful minister. So he overcometh all difficulties, and bringeth them into the land of Canaan: the which according to God’s ordinance he divideth among the people and appointeth their borders: he established laws and ordinances, and putteth them in remembrance of God’s manifold benefits, assuring them of his grace and favor, if they obey God, and contrariwise of his plagues and vengeance, if they disobey him. This history doth represent Jesus Christ the true Joshua, who leadeth us into eternal felicity, which is signified unto us by this land of Canaan.

    THE BOOK OF JOSHUA “Be Strong and Courageous!” -Joshua in the Old Testament -Jesus in the New Testament Date: 7-12-15 Lesson: 19 A. TEXT: Chapter 21 (1) Then the heads of the fathers' houses of the Levites came to Eleazar the priest and to Joshua the son of Nun and to the heads of the fathers' houses of the tribes of the people of Israel. (2) And they said to them at Shiloh in the land of Canaan , "The Lord commanded through Moses that we be given cities to dwell in, along with their pasturelands for our livestock." (3) So by command of the Lord the people of Israel gave to the Levites the following cities and pasturelands out of their inheritance. (4) The lot came out for the clans of the Kohathites. So those Levites who were descendants of Aaron the priest received by lot from the tribes of Judah, Simeon, and Benjamin, thirteen cities. (5) And the rest of the Kohathites received by lot from the clans of the tribe of Ephraim, from the tribe of Dan and the half-tribe of Manasseh, ten cities. (6) The Gershonites received by lot from the clans of the tribe of Issachar, from the tribe of Asher, from the tribe of Naphtali, and from the half-tribe of Manasseh in Bashan, thirteen cities. (7) The Merarites according to their clans received from the tribe of Reuben, the tribe of Gad, and the tribe of Zebulun, twelve cities. (8) These cities and their pasturelands the people of Israel gave by lot to the Levites, as the Lord had commanded through Moses.

  • The House of David
    Introduction It is commonly assumed that David ruled Judah before he ruled Israel. In the past decade, literary historians have gone further, proposing that the oldest material in the David narrative in 1–2 Samuel is focused on David and Judah alone.1 This early David lore would have no connection to Saul, or to David’s rule over Israel. In this scheme, the material focused on Israel would be added after the fall of the Northern Kingdom, at which point Judah would claim the identity of Israel. This post-720 BCE, Israel-centered David story would address communities in the north and reflect a Judahite desire for a united kingdom under the Davidic dynasty.2 The difficulty with this reconstruction is that Judah appears remarkably few times as an acting political group (or polity)3 in 1–2 1.

  • …Found Strength in the Lord His God the Secret of David, Week
    …Found Strength in the Lord His God The Secret of David, Week Fourteen Pastor Kent Bertrand Bridge Covenant Church Sunday, June 15th, 2014 480-294-7888 I Samuel 30:1-6 David Destroys the Amalekites 30 David and his men reached Ziklag on the third day. Now the Amalekites had raided the Negev and Ziklag. They had attacked Ziklag and burned it, 2 and had taken captive the women and everyone else in it, both young and old. I Samuel 30:1-6 They killed none of them, but carried them off as they went on their way. 3 When David and his men reached Ziklag, they found it destroyed by fire and their wives and sons and daughters taken captive. 4 So David and his men wept aloud until they had no strength left to weep. I Samuel 30:1-6 5 David’s two wives had been captured— Ahinoam of Jezreel and Abigail, the widow of Nabal of Carmel. 6 David was greatly distressed because the men were talking of stoning him; each one was bitter in spirit because of his sons and daughters. But David found strength in the LORD his God. Psalm 42:5 Why, my soul, are you downcast? Why so disturbed within me? Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise him, my Savior and my God. I Samuel 30:7-8 7 Then David said to Abiathar the priest, the son of Ahimelek, “Bring me the ephod.” Abiathar brought it to him, 8 and David inquired of the LORD, “Shall I pursue this raiding party? Will I overtake them?” I Samuel 30:8-10 “Pursue them,” he answered.

  • 51 JEROME Says That the Ruins of Nob Were Visible from Dlospolis Of
    51 NOB. JEROME says that the ruins of Nob were visible from Dlospolis of Lydda. A better acquaintance with the Holy Land in recent years has shown that the statement I)lUSt be incon·ect. Nob is mf:lntioned in three passages in the Bible-1 Sam. xxi., &c.; Neh. xi. 32; Isa. x. 32. From the last place it is evident that it was on the way from Geba to Jerusalem-i.e., in the land of Benjamin. It is called (1 Sam. xxii. 19) "the city of the priests." This would seem to mean " the city of the priests who were slain," and further, ·since Nob was entirely desolated by Saul, and burnt, as Josephus adds, a city specially appropriated to them. So far no difference of opinion seems to exist. In Joshua xxi. 4 it is said that thirteen cities were allotted to the children of Aaron-i.e., to the priests. In case, then, of Nob being one of thel!le, the question of its position is brought within a very narrow limit, if not virtually settled. Josephus, himself a priest, seems to assert without hesitation that Nob was one ofthe cities set apart by divine command (under Joshua) for the priests, since, in moralising about Saul, he speaks of his " over­ throwing the city which God had chosen for the property and for the support of the priests." (Whiston. For the remainder of the passage see below, Addenda 5.) This language is apparently as plain and precise as could be desired, but it is not stronger than is warranted by fact so far as concerns Levitical cities, for their number was fixed at forty-eight by dt:vitte command (Numb.
