Journal Through the Bible: Week 32 Thursday

source
Joshua chapter 15

This is the account of the inheritance of the tribe of Judah. Is it any coincidence that Jerusalem, the City of God, is found in the portion for this tribe? I think not!

Also found within this chapter is the story of Caleb's daughter's request for water. (Pastor Dad has a sermon he preaches called "A Desert Dowry" taken from this passage.)

Does God issue any commands?

  • God does not speak in this chapter.


Does God make any promises?

  • God does not speak in this chapter.


Does this chapter teach anything about Jesus?

  • This is the land allotment of the tribe of Judah which is the ancestral tribe of Jesus.
  • Achsah, the daughter of Caleb, intercedes on the behalf of her husband, Othniel, to ask her father for the necessities of life. She is a type of Christ, the One who intercedes to His Father for our necessities.


Does this chapter teach anything about yet-future events?

  • None that I identified.

Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer.
