After Joshua had allotted portions of the newly-conquered land of Canaan to each of the tribes of Israel, the people of Ephraim and Manasseh complained that Joshua had given them only one lot although they were a great and numerous people. In response, Joshua invited them to go up to the forest country and conquer more land by wresting it from the Perizzites and giants who inhabited it. Ephraim and Manasseh worried that they would not be able to conquer these Canaanite peoples, who had iron chariots; but Joshua insisted that they would succeed in driving out the Canaanites. By occupying the mountain country, they would obtain a sufficient plot of land.

The incident is recorded in the Biblical book of Joshua, chapter 17, verses 14 to 18.

Joshua instructed the tribes of Ephraim and Manasseh to clear the forests in the hill country to give them more land. He also encouraged them to work diligently and trust in God's provision rather than relying solely on their own efforts.

How many kingdoms did Israel defeat before conquering the promised land?

According to the Book of Joshua, the Israelites defeated 31 city kingdoms in their conquest of the Promised Land. However, Lawrence E. Stager (The Oxford History of the Biblical World, Forging an Identity: The Emergence of Ancient Israel) examines the evidenced for each of he cities mentioned in Joshua and finds that most of the cities could not have been conquered by Joshua, including that many of them were not even occupied at that time.The strong consensus of historians is that there was no unified conquest of the Canaanite cities. The Israelites were actually descendants of rural Canaanites who left the region of the rich coastal cities to settle peacefully in the hitherto sparsely populated hinterland. In time, the Israelites needed a glorious past that they could be proud of, and this legendary conquest became that glorious past.For more information on the Book of Joshua and early Israelite history, please visit:http://christianity.answers.com/bible/the-book-of-joshua-explained

Were there giants in Jericho?

A:When the spies returned and issued their report to Moses, they said that the land was 'flowing with milk and honey', but that the inhabitants were giants and and their cities fortified (Numbers 13:27-29), yet once the invasion began, no giants were to be found. The Bible describes the Israelites as easily conquering Jericho and makes no report of them meeting any giants. In fact, the Bible says they overran 31 cities without ever seeing the supposed giants. The Exodus story needed an explanation for the reluctance to enter the Promised Land, but the quite separate tradition of Joshua's conquest of Jericho and the Promised Land had no need of giants.


How do you help a person who may be between worlds?

The person will tell you outright, or will offer clues about what is needed. Never, never does such a person require help that involves anything harmful to another, or anything illegal or bizzare. Usually it is help involving letting some great pain (physical or emotional) or desire pass.

Where did Joshua son of nun get his courage?

In Joshua 1:1-9 God encouraged Joshua. God spoke directly to Joshua encouraging him to enter the promise land with the people of Israel. The words that God used were - "I will give you every place where you set your foot", "No one will be able to stand up against you", "As I was with Moses so I will be with you", "Be strong and courageous because you will lead these people to inerit the land I swore to their forefathers to give them". There were more encouraging words that God used to speak to Joshua so that he would have courage. The question I ask is why did God use these words? God chose His words carefully before speaking to Joshua. God would only use such words if He knew that Joshua needed it. Maybe Joshua was not sure of the task ahead? But the bible shows us that God encouraged Joshua. It is amazing how much God knows us and understands us. God knew what was going through the mind of Joshua. So God encouraged him. If there was anywhere that Joshua must have found courage it was in Joshua chapter 1 when God encouraged him. In verse 10 after God had encoraged Joshua - the bible tells us that Joshua got up and told the leaders of Israel to get ready for in three days time they would cross the Jordan river and take possession of the promised land. After God had encouraged Joshua - Joshua had the courage to cross over and take possession of the promise land. God gave Joshua courage.


What did George Washington mean by saying we have errors to correct while agreeing to John Jay's criticism of the Articles of Confederation?

Washington agreed with Jay that the Article had "errors" that needed to be corrected. He complained that, as it as the thirteen "disunited States" could never agree. He also suggested that human nature being what it was, American needed a stronger (that is, less democratic) national government. That was from the grading key, i suggest you put that in you own words. Washington agreed with Jay that the Article had "errors" that needed to be corrected.

How many men named Jesus in Jewish history?

The name Jesus is the Greek form of 'Joshua', but the Greek form is only used in the Bible when referring to Jesus Christ. Joshua is one of the most common names in the entire Bible, but always as a great leader or high priest. Of course, we have Joshua, son of Nun, who is reported to have conquered the Canaanites. There were also Joshua the Bet-Shemite and Joshua, governor of the city of Jericho (2 Kings chapter 23). Later, Zechariah had apocalyptic visions, in which Joshua the high priest had been found guilty of iniquity, but the Lord needed Joshua and was willing to offer him inducements and honour. Interestlingly, the Bible says that the high priest Joshua, son of Jozadak or Josedec (Joseph), assisted Zorobabel in rebuilding the Temple following the Return from Exile of the Jews. In the list of Israelites that returned from the Babylonian Exile, Ezra also records that a Joshua was head of the priestly family of Phahath Moab, while another was head of the priestly family of Idaia, or Jedaia. This is an improbably high proportion of heads of priestly families who were called Joshua, yet no other person listed, not even anyone's father, was called Joshua. Either the name Joshua was quite common at the time of the Return, or it was not, and there could be statistical evidence in the Bible that the name Joshua (Jesus) already had important religious associations.


Why is Joshua a story in the Bible?

Scholars say that the early people of the southern kingdom of Judah had no understanding of Joshua. They say that he comes from the early oral traditions of Israel. At least part of the story of the conquest of Canaan must have come down to the Deuteronomist as an oral history. In order to encourage national unity, he needed to include as much as possible of the traditions of the refugees who had come down from the north after the Assyrian conquest of Israel. The story also explains, in epic style, the origins of Israel and would appeal to national pride. The people did not know their real origins and needed an answer.


What virtues led Joshua to lead the people of Israel?

Joshua was a man that allowed God to lead him in order to lead the children of Israel. Joshua had four main characteristics that enabled him to be a victorious leader.1. Humility. Joshua was always willing to serve.2. He put God first in everything. Joshua, Deut. 27-28, stopped a military campaign in order to honor God and God's Word.3. Faith. This is very evident in all of Joshua's life. God gave Joshua many tasks that seemed impossible to do, yet Joshua never doubted, he only believed.4. Prayer. Joshua knew the importance of leading God's chosen people could not be done in his own strength but rather needed God's constant help.Answer:Joshua had been Moses' right-hand man since his youth (Numbers 11:28), and his chief disciple, who was constantly found in the tent of Torah where Moses taught (Exodus 33:11), so as not to ever miss a single word of Moses' teaching. He could be trusted to reach correct decisions (Numbers ch.13-14); and was successful in battle too (Exodus ch.17). As Moses approached the time when he would have to hand over the helm of leadership, Joshua turned out to be the best choice to carry on, and God named him as Moses' successor (Numbers ch.27).Note that the "Deut. 27-28" in the above answer seems mistaken; the answerer probably had a different passage in mind.


Why does uncle hammer laugh when Cassie tells him that she complained about mr barnetts unfair treatment to them?

Uncle Hammer laughs because it shows Cassie's innocence and naivety in thinking that simply complaining will change the unfair treatment they face. He understands the reality of the situation and knows that more action is needed to address the systemic racism they are up against.


What tribes did the Hebrews conquer to become Israelites?

According to the Book of Joshua, the Hebrew people conquered the cities of Canaan. Jericho was the first city destroyed by the Joshua and his Israelite army, followed by 'Ai. It is the view of most scholars that this military invasion did not really take place. Lawrence E.
