The lists now move on the Ephraim and his sons Ezer and Elead. They decided to take what was did belong to them, namely cattle and sheep. They were put to death by the locals who caught them. Ephraim had another son and named him Beriah, which because of the events surrounding him was call that because the family was "in evil". Beriah's daughter was ambitious because she "built" cities during the time of Joshua. The next section deals with the sons that were born to Asher.The sons and grandsons of Asher were born before the Israelites went to Egypt.
This list of the family of Asher ends with Ulla’s sons. The list only shows the
clans that came from Beriah (verse 31).
In the time of David, this tribe had 26 000 soldiers ready to
serve in the army.The writer ends the family lists of the tribes with Asher. He
does not tell us about the families of Dan and Zebulun.
It was a decent day yesterday but a long one since I didn't leave until closer to 6. Still got back and made some lambchops with veggies (no starches) and finished it off with a fruit smoothie. Prayers for Clay's mom who is undergoing triple by-pass surgery today. Had a great video chat with Sandi Patty last night as well. It was good to catch up with her after all of these years. Also a good day on the sports front, as the Blueshirts, Knicks and the Metskis rolled. Looking forward to seeing GG this weekend and the rest of the family. The Left Coast trip is shaping up nicely, thanks Irene!
Praise for today: The salvation of the righteous comes from the Lord; he is their stronghold in times of trouble. Ps. 37:39
