  1. HEBREWNATIONALGEOGRAPHIC Conquest of Canaan Week 12

  2. Biblical Archaeology • http://www.bib-arch.org/ • Wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Biblical_figures_identified_in_extra-Biblical_sources • http://www.christiananswers.net/archaeology • http://www.apologeticspress.org/articles/433 Caveat: I know nothing about archaeology.

  3. The Deir 'Alla inscription Retelling of Balaam’s story, around 800 BC. Indicates that people were familiar with this story for a long time. http://prophetess.lstc.edu/~rklein/images/baltxt.jpg

  4. Merneptah Stele Earliest exra-biblical reference to Israel yet found. Dates to ~1200BC, right at this time period. Taken from “Merneptah Stele”, published by AllAboutGOD.com Ministries, M. Houdmann, P. Matthews-Rose, R. Niles, editors, 2002-06. Used by permission."

  5. The Ebla Archive • From 1400 BC. (Time of Moses) Written tablets referring to Canaan and specific cities. • Scholars used to believe this time period was BEFORE man knew how to write. • Whoops. • They refer to all 5 cities of the plain from Genesis 14 (Sodom, Gomorrah, Admah, Zeboiim and Zoar) – even in the same order. • Scholars used to think these cities were legendary. • Whoops. http://home.houston.rr.com/apologia/sec5p3.htm

  6. Israel seriously needed a GPS. • Review: Tribes on east side of river? http://www.breadonthewaters.com/0087_map_Exodus_conquest_of_Canaan.html

  8. Conquest of Canaan

  9. Jericho: And the walls came tumbling down… • God’s battle plans don’t always make sense, at first. • He doesn’t call us to understand everything; he calls us to obey anyway! • But what about Rahab? • Is this an implicit endorsement of situational ethics? • What about her mention in faith’s hall of fame? • Why did the spies go straight to a prostitute?

  10. Is it OKAY to lie? • “Honey, does this dress make my rear look big?” • The ever-famous church gunman or Gestapo agent. • Her options: • Tell the truth outright: kill God’s servants. • Be silent: probably going to lead to a search of her house. • Swerve: “I haven’t seen them lately…” “I don’t know exactly where they are…” • Lie: “They went that way!”

  11. Our Problem • The Ten Commandments: Do not bear false witness against your neighbor… (See also Leviticus 19:11; Proverbs 6:16-19; Ephesians 4:25; Colossians 3:9—and Rev 21:8!) • The Nature of God • Hebrews 6:18 “…in which it was impossible for God to lie…” • Titus 1:2 “…God, who cannot lie…” • The Nature of a Lie • John 8:44 • Her blessings in NT: • Hebrews 11:31 • James 2:25 • Oh yeah…she’s still a PROSTITUTE! • Now…she could just be an inn-keeper, according to the Hebrew word, but the NT clarifies: she’s a lady of the night. • …and she’s in the lineage of Jesus in Matthew 1 • Is this a catch-22? • Which is “more wrong”? • Lying to the forces of evil or helping them?

  12. Well…is it?

  13. A note on death… • What euphemism is used repeatedly in the OT about someone’s death? • “Gathered to his people” • Two meanings: • Literally: getting shoved in the family tomb • Figurative: going to meet those who’ve “gone on before” (not all uses of this phrase arewith communal burial plots…) • God’s people always have understood that death isn’t final.

  14. The Book of Jashar • No longer extant: a book by that name from the 1700’s (AD) is not the same. • Joshua 10:13 and 2 Samuel 1:18 • “book of the upright” or “righteous one” • Ancient Syriac OT translation: “book of praises” or “book of hymns” • Many other unknown books • Some are no longer extant • Some are “nicknames” for portions of scripture • Some may be apocryphal http://www.christiancourier.com/articles/read/what_was_the_book_of_jashar

  16. What about… • The eastern tribes’ altar • The Levites’ inheritance (GOD) p.330 and 333 • The LORD hardening hearts in Joshua 11 (p320)
