Hey Bible readers, I'm Tara Lee Cobble, and I'm your host for the Bible Recap.

0:12.7

We've been walking through land allotments for the 12 tribes, and today we start out with the land for the descendants of Joseph.

0:18.9

If you recall, Joseph's dad Jacob formerly adopted

0:22.1

Joseph's two sons, Ephraim and Manasseh, so they essentially took over Joseph's place in the

0:27.1

distribution of the inheritance. Then, at some point, the tribe of Manassas split in half and became

0:32.6

two half tribes. One half of them wanted to live east of the Jordan River as part of the

0:37.1

Transjordan tribes, we'll call them East Man live east of the Jordan River as part of the Transjordan

0:37.7

tribes. We'll call them East Manasseh and the other half inherited part of the original

1:14.5

bigger and stronger than them. The land they get is west of the Jordan River in the

1:19.1

promised land. And just like we learned about their brothers in East Manasseh yesterday, they don't drive

1:23.9

out all the Canaanites from the land. Since the Canaanites refused to leave, they make them do manual labor.

1:30.8

We also encountered the five daughters of Zalofahad again today.

1:34.7

The last time we saw them, they were marrying their cousins,

1:37.1

which was part of the agreement in order for them to get their part of the land inheritance,

1:41.5

so the land can stay in the tribe.

1:43.7

They approached Joshua and Eliezer about that land agreement, and the land can stay in the tribe. They approached Joshua and
