| 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 wrapped up our seventh book of the Bible. Can you believe it? We're a quarter of the way through the Bible. |
| 0:18.5 | I've learned so much in the past 88 days, and I can't wait to |
| 0:21.8 | see what he teaches me about himself in the next 277 days we have left. Yesterday, God finished |
| 0:27.7 | divvying up the land for all the tribes and the cities of refuge. Today, now that the land has been |
| 0:32.7 | sufficiently conquered, the 2.5 Transjordan tribes have fulfilled their promise to fight for the land among the |
| 0:38.3 | other tribes. Joshua affirms them, reminds them to be loyal only to Yahweh, then he blesses them |
| 0:45.4 | and sends them east across the Jordan River to their homes. On the way there, the 2.5 tribes |
| 0:51.0 | decide to build an altar on the west side of the Jordan River, and it's huge. |
| 0:56.2 | When the Western tribes hear about it, they're ready to fight. You can't just go building altars |
| 1:00.7 | wherever you want. Yahweh said he would establish a central location for worship, and this seems |
| 1:06.1 | to be in direct defiance of his words. They send a delegation headed up by Phineas, the son of |
| 1:12.1 | Eliezer the high priest, whom you may remember as the one who stabbed the two people in Numbers |
| 1:16.4 | 25. It was probably fairly alarming to have him show up because he does not play around when it |
| 1:21.9 | comes to sin. The Western delegation accuses the Transjordan tribes of turning away from God, and they're afraid |
| 1:28.5 | God will send judgment on all of Israel because of it. They want an explanation, and they even offer |
| 1:34.0 | the Transjordan tribes a really gracious option for repentance. Come live with us on the western side of the |
| 1:39.4 | Jordan River instead of turning away from God. But as soon as the trans-jordan tribes have a chance to talk, |
| 1:45.2 | they clear things up pretty quickly. They aren't rebelling against God or setting up an altar for worship. |
| 1:51.3 | They're doing this as a monument of the relationship between them and the Western tribes, |
| 1:55.3 | connecting them. They're afraid that in the years to come, the Western tribes will disown |
| 1:59.8 | them and their children. |
