71/ Joshua 18-21:12. The territories of Benjamin, Simeon, Zebulun, Issachar, Naphtali, Dan, and Joshua himself gets a town in Ephraim. The cities of refuge are designated, including Shechem (see Day 11). Cities given to the Levites Part 1.
Halfway through Lent.
70/ Joshua 15-17:18. Distribution of land to the Judahites, especially Caleb, including names of towns. Land belonging to the Massanehites and Ephraimites, though they complain they have too little land, so Joshua tells them to clear out the hill country filled with trees and Canaanites.
I did not hit her! It's not true! It's bullshit! I did not hit her! I did nahht!
oHy Mark!
69/ Joshua 11:10-14:16. Israel conquers more kingdoms. A summary of kingdoms conquered and kings slain (31 in all). Distribution of land for the tribes, especially Caleb, one of the spies who gave a good report 45 years earlier. There's still more kingdoms to conquer.
68B/ The king of Jerusalem teams up with 4 other kings to fight Israel, and in a famous scene, Joshua commands the sun to stand still. This story got Galileo in trouble in 1633. The kings are defeated and their kingdoms destroyed (except Jerusalem). Israel conquers another huge army.
68/ Joshua 8:24-11:9. The covenant renewed again. The Gibeonites, fearing tlgor their lives, claim to be Snrubites from, uh, some place far away. Yes, that'll do, and trick Israel into signing a treaty sparing them. When the ruse is revealed, Joshua makes them into perpetual slaves.
The way Amazon organizes the Power Rangers comics is annoying.
It's like a New Game+.
67B/ Achan is found out and executed. Ai is then destroyed after all the men are pulled away by a diversionary force, leaving a larger force to go in and burn the city to the ground.
67/ Joshua 5-8:23. The people born after the wandering through the wilderness are circumcised (why weren't they when they were 8 days old?). The walls of Jericho fall and the city is destroyed, but a guy named Achan steals some of the stuff for himself, so a planned attack on the city of Ai fails.
It's all ogre for you.
"I know, I was there when he first used it, moron!" (Black Panther #3)
66C/ Honestly, it seems like a pain to have to hold up the Ark the entire time while thousands upon thousands of people cross over, and then they have to wait for the stones to be picked out and and put in, and then they can finally move.
66B/ The Levites carrying the Ark walk into the Jordan, and the water flow stops, allowing everyone to pass on dry land. The tribe elders take stones from the riverbed and set them up as a monument, while Joshua takes 12 other stones and sets them in the riverbed.
66/ Joshua 1:10-4:24. In preparation for crossing the Jordan, two spies are sent out ahead. They are discovered, but they hide out with a woman named Rahab, and in exchange, they promise her family will be spared by tying a crimson cord in her window. In a miracle similar to the Red Sea...
Well I have to do a follow-up appointment with my doctor over my blood work. I'm in trouble.
65B/ Joshua begins with God speaking with Joshua, telling him to take charge and promising him that Israel will control the land that God promised to them, and that no army will be able to stand against them.
65/ Deuteronomy 32:15-Joshua 1:9. The Song of Moses finished. Moses gives his blessings to the 12 tribes, and so our 47 day journey with Moses ends with him dying on Mt. Nebo opposite Jericho. He was 120.
5/66, and so ends the Pentateuch/Torah
64C/ Today ends partway through the song, but I want to point out a bit (32:8-9) that shows humanity is portioned out among the Gods, and the descendants of Jacob is God's allotment or inheritance.
64B/ The law is to be re-read to everyone during the Festival of Booths every 7 years. God admits even after inheriting the Promised Land, Israel will turn away from him, so he tells Moses to write a song showing God knew this would happen.
64/ Deuteronomy 29-32:14. God renews his covenant with Israel. If they turn from God, become captives of other nations, and turn back to God, God will free them (foreshadowing). So follow God and he will give you life in the Promised Land. Moses prepares to hand off the job to Joshua.
63B/ This is common among a lot of religions where people will blame themselves for disasters or try to find someone else, leading to witch hunts (sometimes literally).
63/ Deuteronomy 27:18-28:68. When Israel gets to Mt. Gerizim, they are to stand on the mountain and declare 12 curses for various wrongdoing. And for the 3rd time this book, blessings for obedience and punishments for disobedience. This really hammers in the notion that bad things don't just happen.
I do everything alone. Heck, I saw The Book of Mormon on Broadway alone.
62b/ Parents can't be put to death for their children's crimes and vice-versa. Leaving unharvested crops out for the poor. If a man marries a woman and dies before having a child, his brother must marry her and have children (see also: Onan). Building altars at the border of Canaan.
62/ Deuteronomy 23:15-27:10. Various laws, including about escaped slaves from other nations, not charging interest (except for foreigners). You can't remarry a woman you divorced who has remarried and divorced again. Men who marry are excluded from conscription for a year. Workers are paid daily.
Deuteronomy 23:24 "If you go into your neighbor's vineyard, you may eat your fill of grapes, as many as you wish, but you shall not put any in a container." So Marge Simpson eating two measly, stinking grapes is technically OK.
