0:00.0	Everybody, what is going on? You know what time it is. You're listening to join the Journey podcast with your host, Emma, daughter.
0:08.8	Thanks for joining. Today, we're talking about the allotments of the promised land for the tribes of Joseph, which include the clans coming from his two sons, Manasseh and Ephraim.
0:18.1	Although both Manasseh and Ephraim have their own separate lines of descendants,
0:22.6	the allotments for them were on the same plot of land, which ends up causing some issues later.
0:27.4	So let's dive in. Ephraim received his land allotment, which was in part of the current land of
0:33.0	the Canaanites. Their command from God was to conquer completely and drive out all the inhabitants,
0:38.8	thus leaving the land open for them to live in. However, they did not listen. And in chapter 16,
0:45.2	verse 10, we read that they failed to drive out the Canaanites. The consequence for failing to

1:17.8	petitioned or pled their case before Joshua and some other leaders, saying that the Lord
1:22.2	commanded that they could have land inheritances alongside brothers. We see more of this interaction in Numbers 27, when the daughters stood up before the leaders
1:31.0	to plead their case.
1:32.3	And according to the text, none of the leaders put up a fight because they were women,
1:36.6	as a student of the ancient Near East might have expected them to do.
1:40.4	Instead, they asked the Lord what they should do.
1:44.0	And when God granted the daughters the land, they listened and obeyed fully without argument.
1:49.1	The story celebrates the boldness of the women, and despite not having any sons, this exchange
