18th Chapter of Joshua Goes on to Allocate the Remaining Tribes’ Territories

FEAR = False Evidence Appearing Real?

Such is the case of those who are in disbelief of the One True G-d of Israel. Hence, they settled to remain idol worshipers — worshiping Jesus and the Trinity.

*The same lesson learnt in this chapter of the seven tribes.

“The Territories of the Remaining Tribes”
“The Territory of Benjamin”

but there was left among the Children of Israel seven tribes that had not yet received their heritage.
18:2
Joshua said to the Children of Israel, :How long will you be lax in coming to possess the Land that Hashem, the God of your fathers, has given you?
18:3
You shall describe in writing seven portions of the land and bring it to me here. I will then draw lots for you here before Hashem, our God.
:6
The lottery for the tribe of the children of Benjamin came up, according to their families; the boundary of their lot went out between the children of Judah and the children of Joseph.
:11
… This is the heritage of the children of Benjamin according to its borders all around, according to their families.
:20
… — fourteen cities and their villages. This is the heritage of the children of Benjamin according to their families.
:28

1 And the entire congregation of the children of Israel assembled at Shiloh, and set up the tent of meeting there. And the land was subdued before them.
2 And there remained among the children of Israel seven tribes, who had not yet received their inheritance.
3 And Joshua said, “How long are you slack to come in to possess the land, which the Lord God of your forefathers has given you?
4 Appoint for yourselves three men for each tribe; and I will send them, and they shall arise, and go through the land, and describe it according to their inheritance; and they shall come to me.
5 And they shall divide it into seven parts; Judah shall remain in his border on the south, and the house of Joseph shall remain in their border on the north.
6 You shall describe the land into seven parts, and bring it here to me, and I will cast lots for you here before the Lord our God.
7 For the Levites have no part among you, for the priesthood of the Lord is their inheritance; and Gad, and Reuben, and half the tribe of Manasseh, have taken their inheritance on the eastern side of the Jordan, which Moses the servant of the Lord gave them.”
8 And the men arose, and went; and Joshua charged those that went to describe the land, saying, “Go and walk through the land, and describe it, and return to me, and I will cast lots for you here before the Lord in Shiloh.”
9 And the men went and passed through the land, and described it by cities into seven parts in a book, and they came to Joshua to the camp at Shiloh.
10 And Joshua cast lots for Shiloh before the Lord; and there Joshua divided the land to the children of Israel according to their divisions.
11 And the lot of the tribe of the children of Benjamin came up according to their families; and the border of their lot went out between the children of Judah and the children of Joseph.
12 And their border on the north side was from the Jordan; and the border went up to the side of Jericho on the north, and went up through the hill westward; and its goings out were to the wilderness of Beth-aven.
13 And the border went over from there to Luz, to the side of Luz, which is Beth-el, southward; and the border descended to ‘Atroth-adar, on the hill that lies on the south side of lower Beth-horon.
14 And the border was circled, and encompassed the west side southward, from the hill that lies before Beth-horon southward; and its goings out were at Kirjath-baal, which is Kirjath-jearim, a city of the children of Judah; this was the west side.
15 And the south side was from the end of Kirjath-jearim, and the border went out to a sea, and went out to the spring of the waters of Nephtoah.
16 And the border went down to the end of the mountain that lies before the valley of the son of Hinnom, and which is in the valley of the giants (Rephaim) on the north, and descended to the valley of Hinnom, to the side of the Jebusite on the south, and descended to ‘En-rogel.
17 And it circled from the north, and went out to ‘En-shemesh, and went out to Geliloth, which is over against the ascent of Adumim, and descended to Eben of Bohan the son of Reuben.
18 And it passed along to the side over against the ‘Arabah northward, and it went down to the ‘Arabah.
19 And the border passed along to the side of Beth-hoglah northward; and the outgoings of the border were at the bay of the Salt Sea to the north, at the south end of the Jordan; this was the south border.
20 And the Jordan borders it on the east side. This was the inheritance of the children of Benjamin, by its borders round about, according to their families.
21 And the cities of the tribe of the children of Benjamin according to their families, were; Jericho, and Beth-hoglah, and the Valley of Keziz.
22 And Beth-arabah, and Zemaraim, and Beth-el.
23 And ‘Avim, and Parah, and ‘Ophrah.
24 And Cephar-haamonah, and ‘Ophni, and Geba; twelve cities with their villages.
25 Gibeon, and Ramah, and Beeroth.
26 And Mizpeh, and Chephirah, and Mozah.
27 And Rekem, and Irpeel, and Taralah.
28 And Zelah, Eleph, and the Jebusite, which is Jerusalem, Gibeath, and Kirjath; fourteen cities with their villages. This is the inheritance of the children of Benjamin according to their families.

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.
