0:00.0	Welcome to a year in the Bible with Daily Grace. The Bible tells one big story of redemption,
0:09.1	and we want to spend five minutes every day journeying through the Bible from start to
0:14.3	finish and exploring how all of it points to Jesus.
0:19.5	Hey everybody, welcome back to a year in the Bible with Daily Grace. My name is Jenny,
0:27.1	and today we are looking at Joshua 7 through 9. Yesterday we discussed how the Israelites
0:32.6	conquered Jericho and how this showed that God was faithful to keep the promise he made
0:37.8	to Abraham, all the way back in Genesis. Unfortunately, today we see that on two accounts
0:43.8	the Israelites were in faithful to God. Because of this, the battle to take the promised land
0:49.3	is more difficult than if the Israelites had simply obeyed God. As we dive into today's

1:37.3	only two or three thousand men to battle, because the people of A were so few. But the battle went
1:43.8	horribly wrong, and the men of A defeated them. When Joshua heard about this, he asked God why he
1:50.4	would bring them across the Jordan and deliver Jericho to them, only to have the people of A killed him.
1:57.8	God then tells Joshua that Israel sinned, and that is why A was not delivered to them. This leads
2:05.5	to the discovery of Akin's deception, and unfortunately, he and his entire family is put to death
2:14.5	in the valley of Acor, which translates to the valley of trouble. After Akin's death,
2:21.8	God delivered the city of A to the Israelites. In response to this, Joshua built an altar to the
