0:00.0 | Hey Bible readers, I'm Tara Lee Cobble, and I'm your host for the Bible Recap. |
0:12.8 | Today we continue looking at the land allotments for the tribes. Remember, they've been waiting |
0:17.5 | 40 years for this. They've been fighting for this quite literally. These |
0:21.8 | assignments are where they will build their lives and raise their families. If you've ever been in a |
0:27.0 | military family or you've ever waited to find out where your residency is or to see what colleges |
0:31.6 | have accepted you, you might know a little bit about how this feels. But chances are you weren't |
0:36.9 | waiting 40 years to find out |
0:38.4 | where you'd live. Plus, for the Israelites, this wasn't a temporary placement. This was marked out |
0:44.7 | as the home of the people of their tribe forever, provided they kept up their end of the covenant |
0:49.4 | they made with God. Since many of the ways these places are referred to in scripture |

1:09.4 | notes. Simeon gets the land assigned inments again in today's show notes. |
1:16.5 | Simeon gets the land assigned in the midst of Judah's plot of desert in the south. Pass. |
1:21.6 | Zebulon gets a tiny plot in the north. It's the smallest plot besides Benjamin's. |
1:28.7 | But it's a lush green area with lots of plants and flowers. By the way, you may have noticed that Zebulin got the city of Bethlehem, but that's a different Bethlehem than the one you're probably most familiar |
1:32.5 | with. There are two Bethlehems in the promised land. And this one in Zebulin is further north than the |
1:38.3 | one where Jesus was born. That one is just outside of Jerusalem. Isakar also gets a really small fertile area near the Sea of |
1:45.6 | Galilee and the Jordan River. Asher gets the Mediterranean coastline to the north, some of which |
1:51.1 | belongs to Lebanon of today. Naftali gets the mountainous north, including a mountain range that |
