  taking possession of their land, so they attack the town of
• 6:38
  Leish. They captured it, slaughtered
• 6:41
  its people and settled there. They renamed the town Dan after
• 6:46
  their ancestor. The homeland allocated to the
• 6:49
  clans of the tribe of Dan included these towns and their
• 6:53
  surrounding villages. After all the land was divided
• 6:58
  among the tribes. The Israelites gave a piece of
• 7:01
  land to Joshua as his allocation, for the Lord had
• 7:05
  said he could have any town he wanted.
• 7:08
  He chose Timnath Sarah in the Hill Country of Ephraim.
• 7:13
  He rebuilt the town and lived there.
• 7:16
  These are the territories that Eliezer the priest Joshua son of
• 7:21
  Nun, and the tribal leaders allocated as grants of land to
• 7:25
  the tribes of Israel by casting sacred lots in the presence of
• 7:29
  the Lord at the entrance of the Tabernacle at Shiloh.
• 7:34
  So the division of the land was completed.
• 7:47
  Boy Lord, let it not be said that real estate is a godless
• 7:51
  industry because wow, you certainly know how to do.
• 7:55
  Your. Real estate divisions.
• 7:56
  And here we see you coming. Good on that promise that you
• 8:01
  made so long ago to their ancestor Abraham, that you would
• 8:05
  give his descendants land and here in all of that.
• 8:10
  Beautiful. Glorious detail from rivers to
• 8:14
  towns, marking the borders so that it would be known forever
• 8:18
  that that land, that tangible place measurable from corner to
• 8:23
  corner, was your gift to your people.
• 8:28
  And you have given us a promise that through Jesus sacrificial
• 8:33
  death and resurrection that we are forgiven people, and that
• 8:39
  through what Jesus has done we stand before you, wrapped in his
• 8:44
  perfection, so that when you look at us, you see your beloved
• 8:49
  children completely acceptable and perfect in your sight.
• 8:55
  Ah, thank you Father, for the gift of Jesus and all that you
• 8:59
  promise. And as we know, come good on
• 9:04
  your commitment to us in what he has done.
• 9:07
  So we stand before you, confident that what you have
• 9:10
  said is the truth. We love you.
• 9:15
  We are your grateful children, and we commit ourselves once
• 9:19
  again to holding onto our identity as one of your children
• 9:24
  as the access upon which our life moves.
• 9:28
  You are our wonderful God. We love you.
• 9:31
  And we pray all of this in the saving name of Jesus, Amen.
