Description
In this episode, we delve into the division of the Promised Land among the tribes of Israel. We discuss the land grants to each tribe, including the unique situation of the Tribe of Levi, which received cities rather than a distinct land allocation. The episode provides a detailed breakdown of the territorial boundaries, including the regions occupied by the Tribes of Judah, Benjamin, Dan, Ephraim, Manasseh, Issachar, Asher, Zebulun, and Naphtali. We clarify how cities and natural landmarks defined these boundaries and address the continuing presence of Canaanite inhabitants in some regions.
