January 19- Joshua 20:1-9 20  Then the  Lord  said to Joshua,   2  “Say to the people of Israel, ‘Appoint the cities of refuge, of which I spoke to you through Moses,   3  that the manslayer who strikes any person without intent or unknowingly may flee there. They shall be for you a refuge from the avenger of blood.   4  He shall flee to one of these cities and shall stand at the entrance of the gate of the city and explain his case to the elders of that city. Then they shall take him into the city and give him a place, and he shall remain with them.   5  And if the avenger of blood pursues him, they shall not give up the manslayer into his hand, because he struck his neighbor unknowingly, and did not hate him in the past.   6  And he shall remain in that city until he has stood before the congregation for judgment, until the death of him who is high priest at the time. Then the manslayer may return to his...

January 17- Joshua 18:1-28 18  Then the whole congregation of the people of Israel assembled at Shiloh and set up the tent of meeting there. The land lay subdued before them. 2  There remained among the people of Israel seven tribes whose inheritance had not yet been apportioned.  3  So Joshua said to the people of Israel, “How long will you put off going in to take possession of the land, which the Lord, the God of your fathers, has given you?  4  Provide three men from each tribe, and I will send them out that they may set out and go up and down the land. They shall write a description of it with a view to their inheritances, and then come to me.  5  They shall divide it into seven portions. Judah shall continue in his territory on the south, and the house of Joseph shall continue in their territory on the north.  6  And you shall describe the land in seven divisions and bring the description here to m...

January 16- Joshua 17:1-18 17  Then allotment was made to the people of Manasseh, for he was the firstborn of Joseph.

These were the male descendants of Manasseh the son of Joseph, by their clans. 3  Now Zelophehad the son of Hepher, son of Gilead, son of Machir, son of Manasseh, had no sons, but only daughters, and these are the names of his daughters: Mahlah, Noah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Tirzah.  4  They approached Eleazar the priest and Joshua the son of Nun and the leaders and said, “The Lord commanded Moses to give us an inheritance along with our brothers.” So according to the mouth of the Lord he gave them an inheritance among the brothe...

January 15- Joshua 16:1-10 16  The allotment of the people of Joseph went from the Jordan by Jericho, east of the waters of Jericho, into the wilderness, going up from Jericho into the hill country to Bethel.  2  Then going from Bethel to Luz, it passes along to Ataroth, the territory of the Archites.  3  Then it goes down westward to the territory of the Japhletites, as far as the territory of Lower Beth-horon, then to Gezer, and it ends at the sea. 4  The people of Joseph, Manasseh and Ephraim, received their inheritance. 5  The territory of the people of Ephraim by their clans was as follows: the boundary of their inheritance on the east was Ataroth-addar as far as Upper Beth-horon,  6  and the boundary goes from there to the sea.

January 14- Joshua 15:1-63 15  The allotment for the tribe of the people of Judah according to their clans reached southward to the boundary of Edom, to the wilderness of Zin at the farthest south.  2  And their south boundary ran from the end of the Salt Sea, from the bay that faces southward.  3  It goes out southward of the ascent of Akrabbim, passes along to Zin, and goes up south of Kadesh-barnea, along by Hezron, up to Addar, turns about to Karka,  4  passes along to Azmon, goes out by the Brook of Egypt, and comes to its end at the sea.

January 13 - Joshua 14 :1-15 14  These are the inheritances that the people of Israel received in the land of Canaan, which Eleazar the priest and Joshua the son of Nun and the heads of the fathers' houses of the tribes of the people of Israel gave them to inherit.  2  Their inheritance was by lot, just as the Lord had commanded by the hand of Moses for the nine and one-half tribes.  3  For Moses had given an inheritance to the two and one-half tribes beyond the Jordan, but to the Levites he gave no inheritance among them.  4  For the people of Joseph were two tribes, Manasseh and Ephraim. And no portion was given to the Levites in the land, but only cities to dwell in, with their pasturelands for their livestock and their substance.  5  The people of Israel did as the Lord commanded Moses; they allotted the land. 6  Then the people of Judah came to Joshua at Gilgal. And Caleb the son of J...
