Wednesday Night Study Sheet--Joshua 18

Main idea: Special situation of the large tribe of Manasseh.

Summary: The eighteenth chapter of Joshua is based on the inheritance of the tribe of Benjamin. The entire nation of Israel assembled at Shiloh, and constructed the tabernacle of meeting. Joshua ordered that surveyors assess the land and bring back a report, at which time Joshua could "cast lots" for the allotment of the land to the seven tribes which had received none. The survey was recorded in a book according to cities, and the lots were cast as foretold. The remainder of the chapter is a meticulous description of boundaries in which the tribe of Benjamin would reside, such as "to the side of Jericho", "through the mountains westward", and "before Beth Horon southward".
