Study 11 From The Book of Joshua Is: Joshua 15: 13 – 17:18
1.
Is your environment as unpromising as the arid, giant-ridden
Negeb seemed to Achsah? If so, compare her attitude with Lk. 11:13 and Phil. 4:
19, and be thankful!
2.
Whose inheritance is described in today’s section? What
attitudes were shown by the tribes and by Joshua? Why were the people of Joseph not praised as
Caleb had been (14:13), when they made a particular claim to territory?
3.
Using a concordance, study the character of Ephraim. Do you agree with Ellicott’s statement that
‘They were constantly asserting their right to the supremacy in Israel, without
exhibiting any qualification for it’?
Note.
15:63, together with 2 Sa. 5:6, 7 shows that this book was written before David’s
time.
