Answer: Gad

When Israel approached

the Promised Land, it did so
from east of the Jordan.
Numbers chapter 32
records that the tribes of
Reuben and Gad had a lot
of livestock and found the
territories of Jazer and
Gilead, through which they
passed, were suitable for
grazing the flocks and
herds. They petitioned
Moses to let them inherit
that land, east of the
Jordan, instead of on the
west side. Moses agreed, on
condition that the fighting
men join in the conquest of
Canaan. Joshua 22 records
that this is what happened,
and when Canaan had been
settled:

"Now Moses had made an

allotment in Bashan to one
half-tribe of Manasseh, but
Joshua made an allotment
west of the Jordan River to
the other half-tribe of their
relatives. So when Joshua
sent them on their way
back to their tents, he also
blessed them by saying
'Return to your tents with
great wealth, plenty of
livestock, silver, gold,
bronze, iron, and lots of
clothing. Divide the spoil
from your enemies among
your relatives'. The
descendants of Reuben, the
descendants of Gad, and
the half-tribe of Manasseh
went back to the land of
Gilead, leaving the Israelis
at Shiloh in the land of
Canaan, for their territorial
possession that they had
inherited in accordance
with the command of the
LORD given through
Moses" (International

63 Six: Joshua
After the Israelites won all of their battles, the
time came to divide up the land among the tribes of
Israel. Most of the tribes settled in the land west of the
Jordan River, but some of them settled on the east side.
How many tribes were given land on the east side,
according to Joshua 13 of the NIV Bible?

Answer: 3

The tribe of Manasseh split into two parts and took land on both
sides of the Jordan. East Manasseh was the furthest north of the
eastern tribes with Reuben furthest south and Gad between them.
That's three tribes on the east side of the Jordan. This can be
found in Joshua 13.

64 Who was the high priest when Israel entered

Canaan under Joshua?

Answer: Eleazar

Eleazar was the son of Aaron. He took over the duty of high priest
when Aaron died. He lived to see the Israelites enter Canaan, then,
"Eleazar son of Aaron died and was buried at Gibeah, which had
been allotted to his son Phinehas in the hill country of Ephraim."
(Joshua 24:33, NIV)

65 The Israelites had given their word that they

would protect the Gibeonites. Centuries later, the
family of Israel's first king would be held accountable
for his trying to wipe out the Gibeonites. Who was this
king?

Answer: Saul

"The king summoned the Gibeonites and spoke to them. (Now the
Gibeonites were not a part of Israel but were survivors of the
Amorites; the Israelites had sworn to spare them, but Saul in his
zeal for Israel and Judah had tried to annihilate them.)" (2 Samuel
23 v. 2)

2 Samuel 23 is one of the most difficult of Old Testament passages

to interpret. Summarised simply: There was a famine in Israel.
David consulted God and came to the conclusion that it was due
to Saul and his attempt at ethnic cleansing. As Saul was dead by
this time, David approached the surviving Gibeonites who asked
that they be given some members of Saul's family to execute.
David handed them over and these seemingly innocent people
were put to death. The famine then ended indicating that God
had been appeased.

Some commentators have suggested that this says more about

David than it does about God. In these times, it was common for a
new king to eradicate all male remnants of the previous dynasty
to prevent them becoming a focus for political opposition. Thus, it
is argued, David took advantage of the famine to have the
remaining sons of Saul killed whilst hiding behind a cloak of
religion.

68 While tradition holds that Joshua, the son of Nun,

wrote much of the book that bears his name, who,
according to Jewish tradition, wrote chapter 24, which
discusses Joshua's death? Verse 33 mentions both of
these people.

Answer: Eleazar and Phinehas

Joshua 23 quotes Joshua as telling the Israelites that he was old

and that he would die. In the way that the New American
Standard Bible words it, he told them that "...today I am going the
way of all the earth..." (verse 14). It also records the frail Joshua
reminding the Israelites to follow the Law of Moses and to abstain
from intermarrying into and embracing Godless Gentile cultures.

While chapter 23 hints at Joshua's death, chapter 24 actually

records it and his burial. Since it is unlikely that Joshua would
write about his own death, Jewish tradition claims that one of
Aaron's sons, Eleazar, and Eleazar's own son, Phinehas, wrote the
chapter. The end of chapter 24 also mentions Eleazar's death. The
belief is that Eleazar wrote about Joshua's death and then
Phinehas recorded his father's death. In a similar way, tradition
asserts that Joshua wrote the end of Deuteronomy, which
mentions the death of Moses.

Chapter 24, verse 33 could possibly confirm the tradition because

it states that Phinehas buried Eleazar on a hill that Phinehas
owned.

Regarding the incorrect choices:

Aaron did have daughters, but I basically threw them in the mix to
hint towards their brother Eleazar.

70 Who was stoned in

the Valley of Achor?

Answer: Achan, son of

Zerah

After the Israelites had

taken Jericho, they were
defeated while attempting
to take Ai. The reason was
that Achan had kept some
of the plunder for himself.
His entire family was stoned
along with him, and then
burned. They heaped a
large pile of rocks over
Achan and called that place,
"The Valley of Achor".
