  3. Joshua 13:1-1Assignment of Land Across Jordan • Joshua was well stricken in years, yet the time had come for Israel to possess her land. He had to designate the territories as God commanded Moses for him to do. • Sometimes we feel as if just because we have serving the Lord for a long time that we should retire, there is no retirement plan with the Lord. This is a ‘death till ye part’ service unto Him. We can’t grow weary in well doing; we will reap if we faint not.

  4. Joshua 13:2-3 • There were portions of land yet to be conquered. • They included land extended from Canaan to the Philistine territory fo the Geshurites. • The Sihor river is actually the Nile River. Sihon means the black river. The Nile River is located in Egypt. • What are the areas in our life that we haven’t conquered?

  5. Joshua 13:4-6 • Joshua tells the people that God will drive the Canaanites to the north of Sidon. He will also drive out the inhabitants from the entering in of Hamath – the northern border of Israel. • Just because our enemies have not been defeated doesn’t mean we should walk in defeat. If God promises to fight our battles, He will do just what He said. We should wait patiently on Him and occupy ourselves with faithful service until we receive our breakthroughs.

  6. Joshua 13:7-14Transjordan Tribes • The command is given to divide the conquered land between the 9 ½ tribes. • The Transjordan territory covers land previously occupied by the kings of Sihon and Og. • The tribe of Levi did not receive an inheritance for the Lord was their portion. The Lord provided cities for them to dwell in among the tribes. They also received of the burnt offerings presented to the Lord in the Tabernacle. • As a royal priesthood, the Lord is our portion also. He is our Provider and our Way-maker .

  7. Joshua 13:15-23Portion to the Reubenites • The tribe of Reuben received all the cities of the southern plain that once belonged to Sihon, king of the Amorites. • This also included land previously owned by Balaam, the soothsayer, the hireling prophet. • The Lord will cause His people to eat what their enemies have planted. He will cause His children to dwell in cities their enemies have built. They will trod them under their foot and eat the fat of the land.

Portion of the ½ tribe of Manessah All the kingdom of Og and sixty additional towns. These were the tribal assignments made by Moses while on the east side of Jordan. Joshua 13:24-33

  9. The Assignment of Canaan Joshua Chapters 14-19

  10. Joshua 14:1-5Caleb’s Portion • Eleazar, the High Priest and Joshua assigned the land by lot. The Lord used the highest ranking spiritual officer and the highest ranking military officer to provide for His people. He uses those who watch as well as pray. • Casting lots ensured the sovereign will of God because He would determine the outcome. • Saul (1 Sam. 10:19-21) was chosen by lot as was Matthias, the Apostle in Acts 1:26.

  11. Joshua 14:6-12 • Caleb was the spy, whom along with Joshua and 10 others, was instructed by Moses to spy out the land of Canaan. Only Joshua and Caleb brought back a victorious report, the others were afraid and spread their poison of fear throughout the camp. The fearful and unbelieving died in the wilderness. Only Joshua and Caleb survived out of their generation. • Because Caleb was faithful to the Lord as a bold soldier and ready to inherit his possession, Moses promised him that the land he declares as his, would be given to him. • 45 years later, the time came for Caleb to receive his inheritance. He was now 85 years old as was as strong a soldier as on the day he was promised his land. • “Give me this mountain.”

  12. Joshua 14:13-15 • Joshua blessed Caleb and gave him his inheritance, Hebron. • Hebron was once the city of Giants. Notice that the 10 cowardly spies reported that the inhabitants of Canaan were as giants and they considered themselves as grasshoppers. • Have you noticed how God rewards His warriors? • It was also the burial site of Abraham (Gen. 25:7-10, Isaac (Gen. 35:27-29), and Jacob (Gen. 50:12-13). • Caleb chose the most historic part of Canaan, where his fore father’s bones lay.

  13. Joshua 15:1-12Portion to Judah • The cities and towns listed define the borders of Judah’s inheritance.

  14. Caleb drives the children of Anak (giants) from his land. Caleb waited a long time for his deliverance, yet he abideth faithful. God also renewed his strength to be able to enjoy fight for his blessings and enjoy them. He issues a challenge to anyone who conquered his land of Kirjath-sepher would win the prize of his daughter, Achsah in marriage. Othniel, a brave and capable warrior who was also Caleb’s nephew, capture the town and won Achsah in marriage. She met her father in the fields and pleaded for an inheritance for herself. Caleb’s daughter not only received a might man of valor for a husband, she also received several springs of water at Debir. Joshua 15:13-19

  15. Joshua 15:20-62 • The remainder of Judah’s inheritance is described in geographical detail. • 1 – Negev – 36 cities • 2 – the Shephela – 3 (14-15), 36, and 9 cities each, plus Ekron, Ashod, and Gaza • 3 – the mountains 5(11), 9, 10, 6, 2 cities each • 4- the wilderness – 6 cities each including the city of Salt, later known as Qumran –which housed the Essenes who copied the Dead Sea Scrolls.

  16. Joshua 15:63 • The Israelites had trouble driving out the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the Jebusites. • Later in history, the Israelites tried to set fire to Jerusalem, but because of its geographical location, the Jebusites maintained control. • Ultimately David conquered the Jebusites in 2 Sam. 5:6-10 and made Jerusalem, Israel’s capital. • There are certain issues in life which take extreme measures to overcome. David was a praise & worship fanatic. Only David was able to conquer Jerusalem and make it bow to Israel as her capital. What battles can you win through the weapons of praise & worship? • Joshua was a warrior, and rightly so, but David was a worshipper. Worship can take you much further than battling with demons.
