Teaching by Josh ClarkWeek 5: Inheriting the Promise (Ch 13-19)Opening Activity: What are specific ways you have seen God's faithfulness?1. Outline of Chapters 13-1913:1-7 The Remaining Land (to be conquered)13:8-33 Moses's Allotment to the 2 1/2 tribes 13:8-14 Eastern tribes' boundaries 13:15-23 Reuben 13:24-28 Gad 13:29-31 1/2 Tribe of Manasseh14:1-5 Explanation of Allotment for 9 1/2 tribes14:6-15:63 Judah's Allotment 14:6-15 Caleb's Inheritance 15:1-12 Judah's Boundaries 15:13-19 Caleb, Achsah, & Othniel 15:20-63 Judah's Cities16:1-17:18 Allotment of the Tribes of Joseph18:1-19:51 Allotment of the Remaining Tribes 18:1-10 Introduction - Joshua Sends Surveyors 18:11-28 Benjamin's Allotment 19:1-9 Simeon's Allotment 19:10-16 Zebulun's Allotment 19:17-23 Issachar's Allotment 19:24-31 Asher's Allotment 19:32-39 Naphtali's Allotment 19:40-48 Dan's Allotment 19:49-51 Joshua's Allotment2. The Process of Allotment (14:1-5)- V 1 This is a joint effort between Joshua, Eleazar the priest, and the heads of the tribes- V 2 They cast lots to discern who received what allotment of land- V 2b, 5 The land was allotted as the Lord commanded (Num 26:52-56)3. Caleb's Inheritance (14:6-15; 15:13-19)14:6-15- V 7 Caleb was 40 when he went to spy out the land and when he received the promise- V 8 "made the heart of the people melt" compared to "wholly followed the Lord my God"- V 9 The promise made to Caleb (Num 14:24, 30; 32:12; Deut 1:34-36)- V 10 Caleb is 85 years old when he receives the fulfillment of the promise - 5 times throughout the passage Caleb refers to what the source of his faith is: God's promise to him (14:6, 10a, 10b, 12a, 12b)15:13-19 Three Examples of Faith- Caleb - drives out the sons of Anak- Othniel - drives out the inhabitants of Debir- Achsah - makes a bold request for more in faith4. The Daughters of Zelophehad (17:3-6)- Num 27:1-11; 36:1-12- Features of their faith: - Request is made before they have entered the land - Request was untraditional- The problem: if Zelophehad's daughters marry men from another tribe, the land they inherited will be transferred to their husbands' tribes, removing it from the inheritance of their father's tribe.5. Discontentment in the Tribes of Joseph (17:14-18)- Deut 20:1- The problem is not that God has not provided an adequate amount of space, but that the tribes of Joseph don't believe God is adequate to lead them to victory- God's victories yesterday put today's challenges in perspective6. Shiloh (18:1; 19:51)- This moment reveals a couple of things: - The divine will was made known to Joshua, Eleazar, and the tribal leaders during the allotment - With the tabernacle erected at Shiloh, the wilderness period was over and they were making their home in the land - God dwelled in the midst of his people7. Christ Connection- Just as Joshua, Caleb, Othniel, Achsah, and the daughters of Zelophehad trusted God's promise and received their inheritance, we too receive an inheritance by faith.- Like the inheritance of Zelophehad's daughters, which could not be taken away through human schemes or legal maneuvering, our inheritance cannot be stolen, revoked, or diminished.- 1 Peter 1:3-5- The God who promised the inheritance is the God who preserves his people until they possess it.
19:7 To cry, tsaaq, violence is implicitly a cry to God for help from violence. The weak party cries to God for relief from suffering (Ex. 8:12; 14:10; 22:23, 27; Deut. 22:24, 27). But I get no answer- Often God's servants uttered similar cries, and God heard them (Ps. 34:17). But in Job 35:12 Elihu is going to use both the verb cry and answer to say that sometimes God does not answer because of the pride of evil men. It is sometimes true that God does not answer one's cries because of our attitude or behavior. For example, the one who refuses to hear the cry of the poor will also call himself and not be answered (Prov. 21:13). However, that is not the case with Job.I shout for help, but there is no justice- The verb translated shout, shava is used in Job 24:12; 29:12; 30:20, 28; 35:9; 36:13; 38:41. Putting together several of these passages in Job is interesting. In 36:13 the godless does not cry for help. In 30:20 Job shouts to God and gets no answer (30:28). In 24:12 when the wounded cry out, God does not pay attention. However, when Job was able to help and the weak cried out to him, he delivered them (29:12). However, Job 38:41 offers hope because God hears the cry of raven's young therefore there is hope that He will hear Job's cry. 19:9 He has stripped my honor from me- This verb stripped is used of the brothers stripping Joseph's coat in Gen. 37:23, Aaron's garments (Num. 20:25, 28), and Saul's weapons (I Sam. 31:8, 9). Also see Ezek. 16:39. Honor is portrayed as a garment to be put on or stripped off. Character and blessings are garments to be worn in Job 29:14. It is God who has stripped off these things. And removed the crown from my head- God removed crowns in Jer. 13:18; Lam. 5:16. This language does not indicate that Job was actually a king, but the respect that Job had among his people was as great as that of any king in 29:8-10, 25. This line serves as quite a contrast with Psalm 8:5. “His experience is diametrically opposed to the traditional belief that God crowns (‘atar, the verb that corresponds to the noun used in Job 19:9) a man with glory (kabowd) and honor (hadar).”The Hebrew word translated honor in Psalm 8:5 does not appear in Job 19:9. Jesus and Job 1919:2 Job spoke of the words of his friends' crushing him. The word crush, daka, is used in Isaiah 53:5, 10 to speak of the servant of the LORD being crushed by God. 19:7 God's ultimate display of justice was the cross. The irony is that the most horrible act of injustice in all history demonstrated the justice of God. God punished sin in way to provide salvation to the sinner (Rom. 3:21-26).

Teaching by Josh ClarkWeek 4: The Lord Fights for His People (Ch 9-12)1. Gibeonite Deception (Ch 9)- V 1 "Heard of this" - indicator of new military campaign beginning- Observations of the Gibeonites interaction - Gibeonites know the Israelites are commanded not to make covenants with the people in the promised land because they will teach them their wicked practices, thereby, leading them into idolatry (Deut 7:1-2; 20:10-18) - They claim the reason they came to Joshua and the Israelites is because they heard what God had done in Egypt and to the two kings beyond the Jordan. - The Gibeonites are spared because of the consistency of the people's word. The Gibeonites are treated like a people who the Israelites are permitted to make a treaty with (Deut 20:10-11)- Lesson from the Gibeonites - Fear of consequences tempts us to hide, manipulate, or control the outcome. Faith responds with trust in the character of God.- Lesson from the Israelites - Goodness and life are found in seeking the Lord's counsel.2. Southern Campaign (Ch 10)- V 1 "Adoni-zedek, king of Jerusalem" - My Lord is righteousness - "Melchizedek, king of Salem" (Gen 14:18-20) - King of Righteousness- V 6 Gibeonites request to Joshua is the same as Adoni-Zedek: "come up to me/us" and "help me" - The one key difference is Gibeon asks for rescue while Adoni-zedek asks for aid in destroying Gibeon.- V 24 Joshua summons the chiefs and tells them to "put their feet on the necks of these kings". - Gen 3:15- V 42 "And Joshua captured all these kings and their land at one time, because the Lord God of Israel fought for Israel."3. Christ Connection- Dawn - a time where God exposes and judges evil symbolizing His victory over darkness. - Ex 14:24; 1 Sam 11:9; Isa 37:36; Ps 46:5 - Matt 28:1; Mark 16:2; Luke 24:1; John 20:14. Northern Campaign (Ch 11)- V 4 "like the sand that is on the seashore"- V 6 Comparison of Joshua 8 (Ai) and Joshua 11 (Northern Campaign): Joshua 8 (Ai): - "Do not fear" (8:1a) - Reason: "For I have given into your hand the king of Ai, his people, his city, and his land." (8:1b) - God announces victory before the battle begins. (8:1) - Specific military instructions: "You shall do to Ai and its king as you did to Jericho... except its spoil and livestock you shall take... Set an ambush..." (8:2) - Joshua obeys immediately. "So Joshua arose..." (8:3) - The LORD gives Israel victory. (8:18-29) Joshua 11 (Northern Campaign): - "Do not be afraid" (11:6a) - Reason: "Tomorrow at this time I will give over all of them, slain, to Israel." (11:6b) - God announces victory before the battle begins. (11:6) - Specific military instructions: "You shall hamstring their horses and burn their chariots with fire." (11:6c) - Joshua obeys immediately. "So Joshua and all his warriors came suddenly..." (11:7) - The LORD gives Israel victory. (11:8-15)- V 18 "Joshua made war for a long time" fulfills Ex 23:29-30- V 20 "For it was the Lord's doing to harden their hearts" - Like Pharaoh, God handed the kings and the people over to their desires and hardened their hearts.- V 21-22 Joshua conquers the Giants that caused the wilderness generation to rebel (Num 13:22, 33)5. God's Great Victories (Ch 12)- V 1-6 Kings defeated to the East of the Jordan River- V 7-24 Kings defeated to the West of the Jordan River

In this study we will take a look at the miracles that Yahweh performed on the Egyptians, when Israel was held in bondage, during this period in Exodus. We will see that those miracles were against the Egyptian deities or gods that they worshipped.The story of Moses is not just the story of the freedom of a group of slaves from Egypt in the second millennium BCE. It is the blueprint of the Plan of Salvation of the world as seen from the structure laid down in the Bible. Moses was the prototype of the Christ or Messiah. More importantly, the nation of Israel saw Moses as a prototype and the Bible record illustrates that point. Moses said: ‘And Yahweh said unto me, they have well spoken that which they have spoken. I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee, and will put my words in his mouth; and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him.' (Deut. 18:17-18).In this study I begin in Exodus Chapter 11The warning of the Last Plague1 The Lord said = Or “Yahweh had said.” The first three verses of this chapter are parenthetical. Before Moses relates the last warning given to Pharaoh, he feels it right to recall to his readers' minds the revelation and command which had been previously given to him by Yahweh.2 borrow = shaw-al, request or ask3 And the Lord gave the people favour in the sight of the Egyptians, = So that they freely and willingly lent them the things they asked of them; which seems to be said by way of anticipation, for this was not done until the following plague was inflicted, see Exod.12:35, The people = ‘am' ‘ayin-mem' ‘Aleph-tav'Ayin = (eye) watch, know, shade (this letter is basically silent) Mem = (water) chaos, blood, mightyAleph = (ox) strength, strong, power, leader Tav = (cross) sign, covenant seal, mark and cross The Hebrew Letter ‘ayin'is a picture of the eye, the Hebrew Letter ‘mem' is a picture of the sea representing mass. Combined these mean "see a mass". A large group of people in one location. But when we add the ‘eth' ‘Alpeh-Tav' we are not talking about any group of people, but Yahweh/Yahshua Messiah's Elect.5 that sitteth upon his throne = this phrase to Pharaoh and not to the eldest son. First-born of the maidservant = the meanest person in the kingdom is contrasted with the noblest. Grinding the corn, the lowest labor, was the work of women, slaves and captives. Two portable millstones are used for the purpose, of which the uppermost is turned by a small wooden handle and during the operation the maid sits behind the mill First-born of beasts = the plague of the cattle described in Chapter 9:6 was limited to the ‘cattle which are in the field'. The Hebrew word for cattle in 9:6 is ‘mikneh', whereas here the word ‘behemah' is used. The Egyptians paid divine honors to various animals; and the first born of all these beasts were to be doomed.6 And there shall be a great cry throughout all the land of Egypt = Of parents for the loss of their firstborn sons, their heirs, the support and glory of their families; children for the loss of their elder brethren; and servants for the loss of the prime and principal in their masters' houses; and all in a dreadful fright, expecting instantly death themselves. I read from Thomas Horn Book ‘The Gods' PDF page 82, to close the section on the death of the firstborn.Book of Wisdom of the Apocrypha Chapter 17Wis 17:1For great are thy judgments, and cannot be expressed:therefore unnurtured souls have erred. Wis 17:2For when unrighteous men thought to oppress the holy nation;they being shut up in their houses, the prisoners of darkness,and fettered with the bonds of a long night, lay [there] exiledfrom the eternal providence. Wis 17:3For while they supposed to lie hid in their secret sins, theywere scattered under a dark veil of forgetfulness, beinghorribly astonished, and troubled with [strange] apparitions. Wis 17:4For neither might the corner that held them keep them fromfear: but noises [as of waters] falling down sounded about them,and sad visions appeared unto them with heavy countenances. Wis 17:5No power of the fire might give them light: neither could thebright flames of the stars endure to lighten that horriblenight. 7 But against any of the children of Israel shall not a dog move his tongue, against man or beast = That is, no hurt should be done to man or beast among them, to the firstborn of either of them, so there would be no noise or cry in their dwellings, but the profoundest silence, stillness, and quietness among themthat ye may know how that the Lord doth put a difference between the Egyptians and Israel = by preserving them and theirs, when the firstborn of Egypt were destroyed, and by causing stillness and quietness among them when there was an hideous outcry and doleful lamentation among the Egyptians; and by bringing Israel quietly out from among them, none offering to give the least molestation.

The Bible's surprising teaching is that Christians can and should find great comfort as we long for the day of judgment to arrive.

Achan (Ch 7)V. 2 - 9V. 1 Just as soon as they make it into the promised land they sin. V. 5 “And the hearts of the people melted and became as water.”The Israelites are responding the way the Canaanites have (Josh 2:9, 11; 5:1). V. 6-9 Joshua intercedes for the peopleJoshua does not know that there is sin in the campV. 9 Joshua appeals to God's name and reputationV. 10-26V. 11 “Israel has sinned”One man's sin affects the entire nation.

Ai (Ch 8:1-29)V. 1-2 V. 1 “Do not fear and do not be dismayed” - “be strong and courageous” of chapter 1V. 2 “Only its spoil and its livestock you shall take as plunder for yourselves.”(Compare Josh 6:18-19)“Lay an ambush against the city, behind it.”God is the one who is commanding the Israelites.

Christ ConnectionLife is found within the boundaries of God's Word. Israel and Rahab experience blessing through obedienceJericho, Achan, and Ai experience judgment because they reject God's WordJesus came as the perfectly obedient Son who remained faithful where Adam, Israel, Achan, and we have failedThe King of Ai was hung on a tree as a sign of God's curse (Josh. 8:29; Deut. 21:22–23); Jesus, though innocent, was hung on a tree and became a curse for us, redeeming us from the curse we deserved (Gal. 3:13)In Christ, the place of judgment becomes a place of mercy, and those who deserve the curse receive the blessing of lifehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ssP-wQv2v5g&feature=youtu.behttps://www.thegospelcoalition.org/article/god-guilty-genocide/

The Shema, Part 3: Are we made of body and soul, or are we one holistic being? After studying the heart last week, our study of the Shema in Deuteronomy 6 brings us to Moses' instruction to the Israelites to love the Lord with all their soul. The Hebrew word nefesh used in Deuteronomy 6 sheds light on what our ...

“If you could go back in time to change one thing about your life, what would it be?” The answers range from comic to cautionary: “I'd be better-looking.” “I'd have a smaller nose.” “I'd make a lot of money.” “I'd marry a different person.” For each of us, there's one thing we would change to give ourselves a better story. “I'd understand God's love much sooner in my life,” say the truly wise among us. For them, it's not a classic story of regret: there's no self-loathing, guilt, or fear. What they would change is a misperception built on what the culture tells us about God instead of what the Scriptures say: “God was in Christ, reconciling the world to Himself, no longer counting people's sins against them. And He gave us this wonderful message of reconciliation” (2 Cor 5:19). They only wish they could have known the Father's love more deeply, for a longer time. How much the world of everyday would have been colored differently if they had known all along that “underneath are the everlasting arms” (Deut 33:27). Give me more joy. Let me be always washed in grace. Give me more years of knowing what is really true: “God sent His Son into the world not to judge the world, but to save the world through Him” (John 3:17). Now stay in grace. -Bill Knott

The Shema, Part 2: Before the call to love God “with all your heart,” the well-known Shema begins with an instruction to “hear.” While this part of the Shema is easy to overlook, it sets the tone of God's Word to the Israelites, as it invites them to know and follow Him truly, developing a heart of loving obedience.
