- Read Numbers 32:1-33 and note whom Moses is talking to and what promises are made.
- Read Joshua 22 and mark references to: Joshua, Lord, Moses, commandment/commanded, altar, witness, acted unfaithfully/unfaithful act, turn away from following the Lord, tabernacle, rest
In your journal write down the following things (making sure your note who and why)
- Record the case the nine and a half tribes west of the Jordan have against the two and a half that built an altar.
- List what you learn about the two and a half tribes plans for the altar.
Interpretation:
Consider what each group thought and what they intended to do about it. Was either side wrong in the action they wanted to take if their understanding was correct? Read Deuteronomy 13:12-16 for additional understanding to the situation.
Compare what happened in Joshua 22 with 1 Corinthians 5:1-2. What is happening in the Corinthian church and how is it dealt with?
Application:
How does Joshua 22 speak to you? Write down your thoughts in your journal.
