Chapter 17

Chapter 17 of Joshua Grant the Requests of the Children of Israel Suceedingly

A Repeated Hint Of Not Having Driven Out The Canaanites

Despite the strength of the Children of Israel, still they are unable to drive out the Canaanites to which caused them to sin eventually.

*Idol worshipers will remain the majority as it was since the time of Noah until to date. As Abraham the Ivri (Hebrew) took the other side to seek out the One True G-d, we are to seek the same G-d of the Hebrews as repeated in the book of Exodus.

“Manasseh’s Family”
“Zelophehad’s Daughters”
“The Territory of Manasseh”
“The Separated Cities of Ephraim”
“The Separated Cities of Manasseh”
“The Demand of Joseph”
“The Response of Joshua”

Then was the lot for the tribe of Manasseh, though he was Joseph’s firstborn. For Machir the firstborn of Manasseh, the father of Gilead — because he was a man of war — unto him was Gilead and the Bashan.
17:1
But Zelophehad, son of Hepher, son of Gilead, son of Machir, son of Manasseh, had no sons, only daughters; and these are the names of his daughters: Mahlah, Noah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Tirzah.
17:3
… “Hashem commanded Moses to give us a heritage among our brethren”; and he gave them, according to the word of Hashem, a heritage among their father’s brothers.
:4
The border descended to the Brook of Kanah — south of the brook. These cities were Ephraim’s, in the midst of the cities of Manasseh. The border of Manasseh was on the north of the brook, and its outlets were to the Sea.
:9
It happened when the Children of Israel became strong that they imposed tribute on the Canaanite, but they did not drive them out.
:13
The children of Joseph spoke to Joshua, saying, “Why have you given me an inheritance of [only] a single lot and a single portion, seeing that I am a numerous people, for Hashem has blessed me to such an extent?
:14
Joshua spoke to the House of Joseph, to Ephraim and to Manasseh, saying, “You are a numerous people and you have great strength. You should not have [only] one lot.
:17
That mountain shall be yours because it is a forest; you can cut it down and its outskirts will be yours, for you shall drive out the Canaanite even though they have iron chariots and are strong.”
:18

1 And there was a lot for the tribe of Manasseh, for he was firstborn of Joseph; for Machir the firstborn of Manasseh, the father of Gilead, because he was a man of war, therefore, he had Gilead and Bashan.
2 There was also a lot for the rest of the children of Manasseh according to their families; for the children of Abiezer, and for the children of Helek, and for the children of Asriel, and for the children of Shechem, and for the children of Hepher, and for the children of Shemida. These are the male children of Manasseh the son of Joseph, by their families.
3 But Zelophehad, the son of Hepher, the son of Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, had no sons, but daughters; and these are the names of his daughter: Mahlah, and Noah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Tirzah.
4 And they came near before Eleazar the priest, and before Joshua the son of Nun, and before the princes, saying, “The Lord commanded Moses to give us an inheritance among our brothers.” According to the commandment of the Lord, he gave them an inheritance among the brothers of their father.
5 And there fell ten portions to Manasseh, besides the land of Gilead and Bashan, which is on the other side of the Jordan.
6 Because the daughters of Manasseh had an inheritance among his sons; and the rest of Manasseh’s sons had the land of Gilead.
7 And the border of Manasseh was from Asher to Michmetath, that is before Shechem; and the border went along on the right to the inhabitants of En-tappuah.
8 The land of Tappuah belonged to Manasseh, but Tappuah on the border of Manasseh belonged to the children of Ephraim;
9 And the border descended to the brook Kanah, southward of the brook. These cities of Ephraim are among the cities of Manasseh; the border of Manasseh was on the north side of the river, and its outgoings were to the sea.
10 Southward it was Ephraim’s and northward it was Manasseh’s, and the sea was his border; and they met in Asher on the north, and in Issachar on the east.
11 And Manasseh had in Issachar and in Asher: Beth-shean and her towns, and Ibleam and her towns, and the inhabitants of Dor and her towns, and the inhabitants of ‘En-dor and her towns, and the inhabitants of Taanach and her towns, and the inhabitants of Megiddo and her towns, the three regions.
12 And the children of Manasseh could not drive out the inhabitants of these cities, but the Canaanites were content to dwell in this land.
13 And it came to pass, when the children of Israel became strong, that they put the Canaanites to tribute, but did not drive them out.
14 And the children of Joseph spoke to Joshua, saying, “Why have you given me one lot and one portion for an inheritance, seeing I am a numerous people, forasmuch as the Lord has blessed me thus?”
15 And Joshua said to them, “If you are a numerous people, then go up to the forest, and cut down for yourself there in the land of the Perizzites and of the giants, if Mount Ephraim is too confined for you.”
16 And the children of Joseph said, “The hill is not enough for us; and all the Canaanites that dwell in the land of the valley have chariots of iron, they who are of Beth-shean and her towns, and they who are of the Valley of Jezreel.”
17 And Joshua spoke to the house of Joseph, to Ephraim and to Manasseh, saying, “You are a numerous people, and have great power; you shall not have one lot;
18 But the mountain shall be yours, for it is a forest, and you shall cut it down; and its outgoings shall be yours, for you shall drive out the Canaanite, though he has iron chariots, and though he is strong.

Bible reading in the form of Scripture in pictures can have a profound impact on those who may have never read a chapter in the Hebrew Bible (Old Testament). Viewing pivotal verses in a visual context can deepen one’s understanding of the text and provide a unique perspective. The images may help to illustrate important themes and messages that may not have been as easily grasped through standard reading. Additionally, this method can be particularly beneficial for those who struggle with traditional reading methods or for those who are more visually inclined. The power of visual storytelling has been utilized for centuries, and when paired with the timeless words of Scripture, it has the potential to bring new life and meaning to the ancient text. Ultimately, whatever method one chooses to engage with the Bible, the most important thing is to seek a deeper understanding of God’s word, and to apply it to our lives in a meaningful way.
