JOSHUA 15

THE LAND ALLOTMENT FOR JUDAH + THE INHABITING TRIBES

The land for the tribe of Judah is allotted and given defined geographical boundaries. Because Judah had the largest number of people, they also had the largest amount of land. Jesus will eventually come from the line of Judah, marking their tribe as God’s chosen lineage.

Caleb’s daughter was given the land of Negeb, a desert area, and requested springs of water to sustain them. Caleb is able to drive out the Anakites, the people who inhabited his allotted portion of land, but the people of Judah do not follow God’s commands to drive out the Jebusites.
