Come Follow Me Reading Lesson 16: Joshua 9-22

Chapter 9: https://abn.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/scriptures/ot/josh/9?lang=eng

The Gibeonites by craft obtain a league with Israel—Joshua makes them servants to the congregation of Israel.

Some of the inhabitants around Israel dressed up in old attire, brought moldy bread and old wine, and they convinced Joshua that they were travelers that heard the fame of the God of Israel and came to abide with them. They entered into a league or a contract. Because of that, Israel did not slay them, because they’d promised not to. But they were given menial jobs in the land.

Chapter 10: https://abn.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/scriptures/ot/josh/10?lang=eng

Israel defeats the Amorites and their allies, and the Lord casts stones from heaven upon them—The sun and moon stand still—Many kings and cities are destroyed—The Lord fought for Israel.

There remain some lands yet to be possessed—Some inhabitants are not expelled—The inheritances of Reuben, Gad, and one half of Manasseh are confirmed.

God wanted Joshua to divide all the land before his death. Levi’s inheritance was the God of Israel, the Priesthood they received, and the sacrifices.

Chapter 14: https://abn.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/scriptures/ot/josh/14?lang=eng

The land is divided by lot among 9½ tribes—Caleb inherits Hebron as a special reward for his faithfulness.

Chapter 14:7-11, 14: Caleb was blessed for the good report he gave when he was 40; 45 years have passed; he's 85 here. And he says his strength is the same as when he was 40. Receives a good inheritance.

Chapter 17: https://abn.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/scriptures/ot/josh/17?lang=eng

Chapter 17: Manasseh and Ephraim both receive an additional inheritance—Ephraim is to drive out the Canaanites from the hill country. Birthright sons receive a double portion

Chapter 18: https://abn.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/scriptures/ot/josh/18?lang=eng

The tabernacle of the congregation is set up at Shiloh—Benjamin receives an inheritance by lot.

Vs 5 Roots of the Southern and the Northern Kingdoms.

Vs 7 Did the Levites dwell among all the tribes?

Joshua sent surveyors from the tribes to give reports, so that Joshua could go before the Lord it cast lots, and then they marked borders.

Chapter 19: https://abn.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/scriptures/ot/josh/19?lang=eng

Simeon, Zebulun, Issachar, Asher, Naphtali, and Dan receive their inheritances by lot.

Chapter 20: https://abn.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/scriptures/ot/josh/20?lang=eng

Six cities of refuge are appointed for those guilty of manslaughter.

Chapter 21: https://abn.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/scriptures/ot/josh/21?lang=eng

Chapter 22: https://abn.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/scriptures/ot/josh/22?lang=eng

The 2½ tribes are dismissed with a blessing—They build an altar of testimony by the Jordan to show they are the Lord’s people—It is not an altar for sacrifices or burnt offerings.

Vs 34 And the children of Reuben and the children of Gad called the altar Ed: for it shall be a witness between us that the Lord is God.

Come Follow Me 17: Exodus 18-20

Come Follow Me Lesson 17: Exodus 18-20 Introduction: Are you noticing the abundance of miracles in your own life? These are “undeniable manifestations of the Lord’s matchless power, love, and mercy” for you! The Lord wants to give us greater treasures than providing for our daily physical needs. He want everyone to be blessed through entering into the covenant with Him. He wants us to be blessed with Priesthood power and to become His “peculiar treasure,” and a “holy nation”. Exodus 19:5–6 In our day, the invitation to cooffme unto Christ and enter into the covenant is extended to all people, first through baptism, and later through further endowments in the temple. We become His covenant people when weobey His voice indeed, and keep His covenant” Exodus 19:5 . He extends His mercy to all those that love Him and keep his commandments.

Come Follow Me 51

Come Follow Me Lesson 51 “I Have Loved You, Saith the Lord” Introduction: Malachi means My messenger. What messages did the Lord give Malachi have for you? What messages does he have for the world? Do you trust that the Lord loves you even in adversity? You should. “I have loved you,” the Lord told His people through the prophet Malachi. But the Israelites, who had suffered generations of affliction and captivity, asked the Lord, “Wherein hast thou loved us?” ( Malachi 1:2 ). After all Israel had been through, they may have wondered whether the history of ancient Israel is really a story of God’s love for His covenant people. What evidences have you seen in the Old Testament of God’s love for His people, and for you? When the sons of Jacob mistreated their brother Joseph, the Lord still prepared a way to save them from famine (see  Genesis 45:4–8 ). When Israel murmured in the wilderness, God fed them with manna (see  Exodus 16:1–4 ). Even when Israel abandoned Hi...
