6 and 1/2 tribes were yet to received their land (no Levites) and thus Joshua asked them why and why not? A part of me thinks they lacked initiative or direction but a part of me also thinks that they were waiting for it so they would offend God or Joshua. Anyway, the system was divised and the lots were drawn (I guess that's the God aspect) and thus the land was distributed according to their tribal divisions.
The balance of the chapter and 19 will talk about the clans getting what so we'll see...
All in all, a good day at church yesterday and an interesting class on Worship, in particular worship songs. While I agree in principle to most of what Dr. Geisler said, I still use Phil 4:8 and Col. 3:16 as guidelines. Good observations about the 1 Cor passage and the Psalms as well. It is all about Him and not about me...
