| 0:00.0 | 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 |
