| 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 40 years for this. They've been fighting for this quite literally. These assignments |
| 0:22.3 | are where they will build their lives and raise their families. If you've ever been in a military |
| 0:27.4 | family or you've ever waited to find out where your residency is or to see what colleges have |
| 0:31.8 | accepted you, you might know a little bit about how this feels. But chances are you weren't waiting |
| 0:37.2 | 40 years to find out |
| 0:38.3 | where you'd live. Plus, for the Israelites, this wasn't a temporary placement. This was marked out as |
| 0:44.8 | the home of the people of their tribe forever, provided they kept up their end of the covenant they made |
| 0:49.8 | with God. Since many of the ways these places are referred to in scripture mean nothing to us, |
| 0:55.5 | I'm going to give a short description of each place we see today. Imagine you're one of the |
| 1:00.1 | seven tribes who haven't gotten their land yet, and you're waiting to find out where your family |
| 1:03.9 | will live. We're also including that general map of the tribal allotments again in today's show |
| 1:09.4 | notes. Simeon gets the land assigned |
| 1:12.6 | in the midst of Judah's plot of desert in the south. Pass. Zebulin gets a tiny plot in the north. |
| 1:19.3 | It's the smallest plot besides Benjamin's, but it's a lush green area with lots of plants and flowers. |
| 1:26.2 | By the way, you may have noticed that Zebulin got the |
| 1:28.7 | city of Bethlehem, but that's a different Bethlehem than the one you're probably most familiar with. |
| 1:33.2 | There are two Bethlehems in the promised land. And this one in Zebulin is further north than the one |
| 1:38.4 | 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 |
| 1:57.0 | reaches over 9,000 feet high. You can ski there if you visit Israel in the winter. |
