A historical perspective of the inheritance of the land by the descendants of Joseph (of Genesis fame). 2 sons - Ephraim and Manasseh had their descendants and they were allotted the land starting from Jericho. The Bible is very specific about which clan got what, I guess that it was easier to do this to make everything equitable. The interesting verse of 16 comes at the end when the Canaanites (who I guess had that part of the land first) were not dislodged and remained as workers "to this very day"
I guess to me a dry part of Scripture as will be the next few chapters of the subdivisions of the land...
Still much to be thankful for yet still very tough to get back into the swing of things after a long time away in FL. Trying to fight a cold/cough and getting slowly back into the early morning wakeup. At least this vacation I proved to myself that I can sleep longer than 6 hours a day. Who woulda thunk?
