Day 72 Josh 21-24 Levite inheritance; choose the Lord and serve Him only

Joshua 21-24 ●Joshua 21 The Levites receive forty-eight cities with their suburbs—The Lord fulfills all His promises and gives Israel rest. ●Joshua 22 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. ●Joshua 23 Joshua exhorts Israel to be courageous, keep the commandments, love the Lord, and neither marry among nor cleave unto the remnants of the Canaanites who remain in the land—When the children of Israel serve other gods, they will be cursed and dispossessed. ●Joshua 24 Joshua recites how the Lord has blessed and led Israel—Joshua and all the people covenant to choose the Lord and serve Him only—Joshua and Eleazar die—The bones of Joseph, taken from Egypt, are buried in Shechem.
