Joshua 5 | Victory, Failure, and the God Who Fights for Israel

1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:01,560
All right, good.
Tuesday morning.

2
00:00:01,560 --> 00:00:05,120
We're back, man.
Our Joshua series.

3
00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:08,119
Love it.
We're going to tackle chapters 9

4
00:00:08,440 --> 00:00:11,680
through 11 last time.
Remember what we talked about?

5
00:00:12,240 --> 00:00:15,000
Yeah, I think we're talking
about the campaign through

6
00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:16,280
Jericho.
Nice.

7
00:00:16,280 --> 00:00:18,840
Yeah.
And then kind of their Aiken.

8
00:00:19,280 --> 00:00:21,600
Yeah.
And the defeat at AI.

9
00:00:21,680 --> 00:00:26,840
Yeah, the victory at AI and then
kind of the rededication is that

10
00:00:26,840 --> 00:00:27,680
covenant.
Renewal.

11
00:00:27,680 --> 00:00:29,040
Yeah.
Chapter 8, I think that's, I'm

12
00:00:29,040 --> 00:00:31,000
glad you brought that up, 'cause
I think that's important, 'cause

13
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:34,880
it kind of like sets apart
chapters 5 through 8 as this

14
00:00:34,880 --> 00:00:37,320
unit.
Chapter 5, like everyone's

15
00:00:37,320 --> 00:00:39,760
getting circumcised.
We're celebrating the Passover.

16
00:00:39,760 --> 00:00:41,480
Oh yeah, that happens before
Jericho, doesn't it?

17
00:00:41,560 --> 00:00:45,280
And and then this happens in
Chapter 8, this renewal.

18
00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:47,880
They're at Mount Evil and Mount
Gerizim, the blessings, the

19
00:00:47,880 --> 00:00:51,120
curses, just like Moses.
So it's kind of this pivotal

20
00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:53,800
point that that frames a lot of
what we're gonna talk about.

21
00:00:54,440 --> 00:00:57,760
Today, Amen, you would think,
but after this, they're probably

22
00:00:57,760 --> 00:01:00,960
going to be like straight as a
narrow no, no more hiccups,

23
00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:03,600
right?
No, that, that's really good

24
00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:06,320
foreshadowing.
We'll see some hiccups right

25
00:01:06,320 --> 00:01:08,120
away.
So I hope you're excited.

26
00:01:08,320 --> 00:01:10,320
Let's go ahead and take it to
the next level.

27
00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:19,600
Let's fire up that twanga music.
From the hearts of the Low

28
00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:24,920
Country in South Carolina.
It's the Take Two podcast where

29
00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:27,120
we take theology to the next
level.

30
00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:30,080
And so Joshua, 9 through 11,
what we're going to talk about

31
00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:35,560
today, I thought maybe we could
back out, zoom out, get the

32
00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:37,320
overview. 30 foot thousand
level.

33
00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:39,520
I love it.
And then get on the ground after

34
00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:41,400
that and and dive.
Into troops.

35
00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:42,280
That's right.
So.

36
00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:45,400
Literally speaking.
Yeah, we're hey, military we're

37
00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:49,040
we're, we're hitting all the,
all the beats of Joshua.

38
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:53,080
And so if we're looking at
Chapter 9, it's a really good

39
00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:56,640
illustration of Israel trying to
do things without Yahweh's help.

40
00:01:56,880 --> 00:02:00,160
We see them pay the consequence.
You kind of alluded to that.

41
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:04,000
And then the rest of our time,
chapters 10 through halfway

42
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:08,120
through 1111, verse 15, we see
Yahweh with Israel and the

43
00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:11,240
success they have in these
campaigns that that they go

44
00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:13,120
through.
Chapter 10 talks a lot about the

45
00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:16,080
southern campaign.
In the beginning of Chapter 11

46
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:18,920
talks about the Northern
campaign, which Tees everything

47
00:02:18,920 --> 00:02:23,320
up to Joshua 1116 through 23.
The rest of the chapter.

48
00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:28,280
That's really a broad summary of
all that they achieved.

49
00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:32,840
And then after that we get into
the less talked about.

50
00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:34,880
They don't.
They don't make flannel graphs

51
00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:38,120
for casting lots and you know
all the land divvied up.

52
00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:40,760
Yeah, yeah, That that's always
been a confusing time.

53
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:42,520
It's good.
So we.

54
00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:44,120
Should just skip it.
Yeah, just skip it.

55
00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:46,000
Probably.
Probably not even in there for a

56
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:47,760
real reason.
So I'm looking forward to

57
00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:50,160
getting to those just 'cause
they're less talked about today,

58
00:02:50,640 --> 00:02:53,920
we'll have familiar, familiar
stories that you probably heard

59
00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:56,000
talk about.
Some good discussion, I think,

60
00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:57,800
you know, teasing it.
The sun stood still.

61
00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:00,240
What's that mean, you know?
Yeah, that is a that's.

62
00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:02,440
A lot of good theories out
there.

63
00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:05,320
So anyway, let's get into Joshua
Chapter 9.

64
00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:07,840
Can you read for us verses 1 and
2?

65
00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:12,240
Yeah, it says now it came about
when all the kings who are

66
00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:15,840
beyond the Jordan, in the Hill
Country and in the lowland and

67
00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:19,800
on all the coasts of the great
sea toward Lebanon, the Hittite

68
00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:23,480
and the Amorite and the
Canaanite and the parasite and

69
00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:27,920
the Hivite and the Jebusite,
heard of it, that they gathered

70
00:03:27,920 --> 00:03:31,400
themselves together with 1
accord to fight with Joshua and

71
00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:34,360
with Israel.
Thank you, Michael, and if you

72
00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:38,600
remember this, a chapter 5
starts similarly in the fact

73
00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:41,960
that the Amorites heard that
what the Lord did and they had a

74
00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:45,600
response.
You know, here we see that all

75
00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:47,640
the kings heard of the
Israelites and they had this

76
00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:50,120
response and their response is
let's band together.

77
00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:54,640
It's it's kind of our our shot
at making making this happen.

78
00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:58,160
And and we'll see this again, I
think another time or two.

79
00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:03,760
But it kind of is a way Joshua
is broken up in verses 3 through

80
00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:06,800
15.
We see really Israel drop the

81
00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:12,320
ball, really show a lack of
wisdom of Yahweh and it all

82
00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:15,640
centers around Gibeon.
Smart people, man.

83
00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:18,839
Yeah, pretty tricky.
So so I was looking as a gibeon

84
00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:22,320
6 miles northwest of Jerusalem.
If you're looking at looking at

85
00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:23,640
a mess.
That's pretty close.

86
00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:24,520
Now, pretty close.
Yeah.

87
00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:26,120
Yeah.
And so they, they, they seem to

88
00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:27,760
know, like they know what's
going on.

89
00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:31,480
If you read Deuteronomy 7,
Israel supposed to devote every

90
00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:34,960
person in Canaan to destruction.
That's like in the Torah, the

91
00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:38,720
Torah was just re read, re
expressed, rewritten by Joshua.

92
00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:41,760
So maybe these rumors are
starting and, and they, they've

93
00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:45,160
heard of Jericho, probably an AI
and they're like, they're not

94
00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:49,680
just like killing the, the men
or it's like, this is bad for

95
00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:50,840
everyone.
You know what I mean?

96
00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:54,440
No, they could have fled, right?
That that's probably an option.

97
00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:56,640
Yeah, for sure.
If, if the Gibeonites had said,

98
00:04:56,640 --> 00:04:59,800
you know what, we're not going
to try to face off of Yahweh,

99
00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:01,920
we're going to flee and move
out.

100
00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:05,320
It's not as though Joshua would
have pursued them to, probably.

101
00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:07,720
Not yeah, they're out of the
land cause yeah, if they know

102
00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:09,760
that, hey, if you're in the
land, you're free game.

103
00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:12,360
Just get out.
One of your options is leave the

104
00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:13,440
land.
Right, right.

105
00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:18,600
So I just my apologetic mind
because there are arguments that

106
00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:22,760
this was a genocide and this
that's if if leaving the land is

107
00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:24,920
an option, then it's not
technically like if China.

108
00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:27,640
Came here and was late like we
and they're like, we just, we

109
00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:31,400
just what Alabama?
You could just all right, you

110
00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:32,440
can have it.
We're not going to go there.

111
00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:34,320
If we're like, hey, we're, we're
just laying down.

112
00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:36,880
Right, right, right.
Not that we would give it, but

113
00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:38,120
right, Right.
Yes, yeah.

114
00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:43,160
And what I think is interesting
is I don't know how much could

115
00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:45,520
be in like new the Torah or
they're like, they've heard

116
00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:48,400
these things or not.
They're not that far away from

117
00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:51,040
from some of where the
Israelites have been.

118
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:55,120
But in Deuteronomy 20, it talks
about making treaties with

119
00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:56,720
people and they've got to keep
those treaties.

120
00:05:56,720 --> 00:05:57,920
And I don't know if they knew
that or not.

121
00:05:57,920 --> 00:05:59,200
Or they're like, hey, this is
our own way.

122
00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:01,640
Maybe maybe they knew some of
the Torah and we're using that

123
00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:06,000
to their advantage.
So anyway, either way, they they

124
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:09,600
knew they were savvy enough to
not pretend like they were just

125
00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:12,240
a few miles away, but that they
were really, really far.

126
00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:15,760
Away.
And would you say that Joshua

127
00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:19,480
and the children of Israel,
we're in a different

128
00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:23,200
relationship or different type
of relationship with Yahweh

129
00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:26,280
right now than what someone
might be if they're buying a

130
00:06:26,280 --> 00:06:29,920
home?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

131
00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:33,080
So I remember being young and
reading this and thinking like,

132
00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:37,320
I mean, seems kind of harsh of a
penalty for them.

133
00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:40,680
But and then I, I think there's
two different two different

134
00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:42,440
perspectives.
We're about to read the verses,

135
00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:44,800
but you're probably familiar
with the story, but you could

136
00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:47,440
have their perspective like,
wow, look what happened to

137
00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:51,880
Joshua when they didn't consult
God with this decision.

138
00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:56,840
We should consult God for every
single decision we make.

139
00:06:56,840 --> 00:06:59,280
We'll let God make the decision
on whether we should buy a

140
00:06:59,280 --> 00:07:01,440
house.
We'll make, we'll let God make a

141
00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:03,360
decision on which horse we
should ride.

142
00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:05,960
We'll let God make the decision
on which car we should buy

143
00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:07,840
because look what happened to
Joshua.

144
00:07:07,840 --> 00:07:11,920
You could go there or you could
be like, wow, God, God was

145
00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:17,760
really harsh with with them.
And, you know, they got, they

146
00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:19,800
got tricked, but, you know,
they're kind of reprimanded for

147
00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:22,440
it.
But I think, you know, the key

148
00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:26,680
difference is, you know, if you
listen to our first couple

149
00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:32,480
episodes, like God has appeared
in, you know, the Angel of Lord

150
00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:36,080
to Joshua, talk to him about it.
They do have the Urim and the

151
00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:39,040
yeah.
And so there's like no reason

152
00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:43,160
for them not to consult God.
Like this is, you know, what

153
00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:44,840
they've been told to do
directly.

154
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:48,160
Totally.
Yeah, and it's exactly right.

155
00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:51,080
I'm going to go ahead and read
verses 3 through 6 gets out the

156
00:07:51,080 --> 00:07:53,840
crux of of what Gibeon did.
But when the inhabitants of

157
00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:57,520
Gibeon heard what Joshua had
done to Jericho and AI, they on

158
00:07:57,520 --> 00:08:00,360
their part acted with cunning
and went and made ready

159
00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:02,560
provisions and took worn out
sacks for their donkeys and

160
00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:04,200
wines.
Gets worn out and torn and

161
00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:07,520
mended with worn out patch
sandals on their feet and worn

162
00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:08,840
out clothes.
That's the theme.

163
00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:11,200
Worn out, worn out, worn out,
worn out four times.

164
00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:14,560
And all their provisions were
dry and crumbly, even made like

165
00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:16,520
their bread crumbly.
Like that is like so good, like

166
00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:19,120
kept it out, so smart.
And they went to Joshua in the

167
00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:21,880
camp of Gilgal and said to him
and to the men of Israel, we

168
00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:24,880
have come from a distant
country, so now make a covenant

169
00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:27,040
with us.
But the men of Israel said to

170
00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:30,360
the Hivites, perhaps yield among
us, then how can we make a

171
00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:32,120
covenant with you?
I think this is good 'cause they

172
00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:33,960
actually thought this could be
true.

173
00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:38,039
Like it's not like they didn't
totally think it through anyway.

174
00:08:38,039 --> 00:08:42,080
We we can stop there.
You can kind of see what they

175
00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:46,040
did that that deception was kind
of really thought out through

176
00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:49,000
and through.
Not only is that their

177
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:50,320
deception.
I'll, I'll read a couple more

178
00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:53,080
verses here.
Verse 9 says they said to, they

179
00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:56,200
said to him from a very distant
country, your servants have come

180
00:08:56,920 --> 00:08:59,560
because of the name of Yahweh,
your God.

181
00:08:59,880 --> 00:09:02,280
For we've heard a report of him
and all that he did in Egypt and

182
00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:04,400
all that he did to the 2 kings
of the Amorites who are beyond

183
00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:07,320
the Jordan, to Sihan, the king
of Hasheman and to OG the king

184
00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:09,400
of Bashan who lived in the
Ashtaroth.

185
00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:12,920
And so they even like invoke the
name of Yahweh like we've heard

186
00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:14,600
of Yahweh.
And so we came to you that

187
00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:19,400
that's sounds really good to
your point where it's like maybe

188
00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:21,760
you start to empathize and be
like, man, that is kind of

189
00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:25,120
harsh, but but you're right.
I think Joshua, the story of

190
00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:28,680
Joshua, maybe not as known as
some other places, but it does

191
00:09:28,680 --> 00:09:31,800
emphasize the holiness of God at
the same time.

192
00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:34,240
Just just be obedient.
Like, just be obedient you.

193
00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:37,000
Know just submit this stuff like
yeah, yeah, yeah, that's good.

194
00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:41,040
And what what's interesting is
this confession of faith, if you

195
00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:45,000
compare it to Rahab's, it's
very, very similar.

196
00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:48,800
We see Rahab follows through
with a certain action.

197
00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:51,400
You know, there's one thing to
confess, something another thing

198
00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:52,840
to then.
We give Rahab it up.

199
00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:55,800
Family A treaty.
Right, right, right.

200
00:09:55,800 --> 00:09:59,240
You see, so you so you can see
some of these like similarities

201
00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:02,920
here key verse 14, especially
the second-half.

202
00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:04,040
You want to read that one for
us?

203
00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:08,760
Verse 14 Yes.
So the men of Israel took some

204
00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:12,960
of their provisions and did not
ask for the counsel of the Lord.

205
00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:14,640
Yeah, and and you, you alluded
to this.

206
00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:16,280
That kind of gets to it.
They did.

207
00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:18,800
We read in verses 7 and 8, they
actually did a little due

208
00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:20,920
diligence.
Like they talked about it, like

209
00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:22,960
maybe you're trying to trick,
maybe you didn't come into some

210
00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:24,400
land.
Like they thought about that.

211
00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:27,480
It's not that they didn't think
things through.

212
00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:31,200
It's that they didn't pray or
ask y'all, because it probably

213
00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:34,200
did seem overly straightforward,
overly easy.

214
00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:36,560
And most of us probably not like
most of us.

215
00:10:36,560 --> 00:10:38,440
Like when we're in doubt, I'm
going to pray a lot.

216
00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:42,520
When I feel like it's a, you
know, given.

217
00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:45,280
Maybe I'm not as given to pray
as much.

218
00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:48,000
Yeah, I'll just say based on my
earlier remarks, I'm not saying

219
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:50,320
don't pray and ask God for
wisdom.

220
00:10:50,560 --> 00:10:51,720
That.
You would that you would make.

221
00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:52,440
But yeah.
Yeah.

222
00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:54,840
But here, you know, they didn't
even seek the counsel of the

223
00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:58,920
Lord when they had, you know,
divine lots that they could cast

224
00:10:58,920 --> 00:10:59,840
to see.
Yeah, they had.

225
00:10:59,840 --> 00:11:01,360
Are we being tripped?
Right there.

226
00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:07,360
Yeah, man, let's kind of, we'll
pivot a little bit and Israel

227
00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:10,160
kind of they have this concern.
I think this is a good conundrum

228
00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:12,720
to think through where they're
like, man, we want to honor

229
00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:14,960
Yahweh.
Read verses 18 and 19 for us.

230
00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:18,040
All right.
It says the sons of Israel did

231
00:11:18,040 --> 00:11:20,920
not strike them because the
leaders of the congregation had

232
00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:23,720
sworn to them by the Yahweh, the
God of Israel.

233
00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:26,760
And the whole congregation
grumbled against the leaders,

234
00:11:27,040 --> 00:11:30,240
but all the leaders said to the
whole congregation, we have

235
00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:33,840
sworn to them by Yahweh, the God
of Israel, and now we cannot

236
00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:36,160
touch them.
Yeah, so they found out that

237
00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:37,920
that Gibeon was actually their
neighbor.

238
00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:41,240
But the leaders were like, we we
promised before Yahweh.

239
00:11:41,240 --> 00:11:44,800
The people were like, So what
they lied to you promise is

240
00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:47,800
broken, like I'll just come.
But they were like, no, no, no,

241
00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:51,680
that's we don't want to like do
another wrong on top of it,

242
00:11:51,680 --> 00:11:54,000
right, 'cause I think in our
Western minds, a lot of us would

243
00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:57,080
be like, yes.
Exactly.

244
00:11:57,160 --> 00:11:59,280
It makes sense.
Totally.

245
00:11:59,280 --> 00:12:02,080
But that wasn't their reaction.
They're like, no, we're not

246
00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:03,600
gonna.
God kind of honored.

247
00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:05,760
That yeah, exactly.
Yeah, 'cause I 'cause I, it goes

248
00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:09,200
against, I think maybe how some
of us would think, 'cause they

249
00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:11,080
were deceived, but they were
saying, hey, we messed up.

250
00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:14,360
They kind of owned it and then
lived in obedience in the midst

251
00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:18,240
of a rough situation rather than
taking the pragmatic way, which

252
00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:20,320
in America we're all about
pragmatism.

253
00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:22,360
If there's like, if you can
justify it.

254
00:12:23,160 --> 00:12:26,160
So anyway, where do they land?
The solution would be, you know

255
00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:27,800
what, you just see this, you're
going to be wood cutters.

256
00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:29,320
You're going to cut our wood.
You're going to draw water for

257
00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:30,840
us.
You'll be, you'll kind of be our

258
00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:35,320
slaves in that regard.
And then, you know, we get to

259
00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:40,520
the end of of this section 22
through 27.

260
00:12:40,920 --> 00:12:43,680
We'll read here kind of a recap
of the whole story, but it says

261
00:12:43,680 --> 00:12:46,160
in verse 27, but Joshua made
them that day.

262
00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:49,560
Cutters of wood and drawers of
water for the congregation and

263
00:12:49,560 --> 00:12:53,280
for the altar of the Lord altar
of Yahweh to this day and the

264
00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:57,480
place that he should choose.
And what I find interesting here

265
00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:01,800
they were they would do this for
the House of God.

266
00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:04,240
Isn't isn't this interesting?
Maybe there's some redemption in

267
00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:07,800
this, like they were deceptive,
but I don't know.

268
00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:11,000
But they're probably gonna hear
and see sacrifices and really

269
00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:14,440
hear a lot of great things and.
See God work to Judaism.

270
00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:15,800
Yeah, exactly.
I think that.

271
00:13:16,200 --> 00:13:21,240
If they convert, do they get out
of this sentence?

272
00:13:21,240 --> 00:13:23,280
I don't know.
I, I don't know so in, in so

273
00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:25,920
they were cursed in this way,
but in a way I think we do see

274
00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:29,280
some of God's mercy and who
knows how some of that shook

275
00:13:29,280 --> 00:13:30,480
out.
So that's Chapter 9.

276
00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:35,800
We transition in chapter chapter
10 to the Southern campaign.

277
00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:41,320
If you read 10 verse one, it's
probably familiar to what

278
00:13:41,680 --> 00:13:43,720
Chapter 9 was in chapter 5, but
go ahead and read that.

279
00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:49,120
For us, it says now, it came
about when Adonai Zedek, King of

280
00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:52,760
Jerusalem, heard that Joshua had
captured AI and had utterly

281
00:13:52,760 --> 00:13:55,400
destroyed it.
Just as he had done to Jericho

282
00:13:55,400 --> 00:14:00,080
and its king, so he had done to
AI and its king, and that the

283
00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:03,160
inhabitants of Gibeon had made
peace with Israel and were

284
00:14:03,160 --> 00:14:05,160
within their land.
Keep going.

285
00:14:05,160 --> 00:14:06,120
Keep.
Going yeah, let's.

286
00:14:06,160 --> 00:14:09,320
Read that he feared greatly
because Gibeon was a great city,

287
00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:12,600
like one of the royal cities,
and because it was greater than

288
00:14:12,680 --> 00:14:16,200
AI and all its men were mighty.
Yes, a couple things that are

289
00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:18,640
interesting.
So we're talking about the King

290
00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:22,960
of Jerusalem, Adonize, a deck
that kind of sounds like

291
00:14:23,040 --> 00:14:25,760
Melchizedek.
Isn't that kind of interesting

292
00:14:25,760 --> 00:14:27,560
like?
And I is like Lord, right?

293
00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:29,160
Yeah, exactly.
So it's like, I think it's like

294
00:14:29,160 --> 00:14:32,240
righteousness of the Lord,
whether it's, you know, probably

295
00:14:32,240 --> 00:14:36,240
not Yahweh, but it's a it's
probably comes through from it's

296
00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:38,360
like Jerusalem.
That's maybe a theme from

297
00:14:38,360 --> 00:14:40,120
previous king.
So I think.

298
00:14:40,120 --> 00:14:42,640
That's interesting.
Exactly Of Jerusalem.

299
00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:45,480
Yeah, same town.
Same town exactly.

300
00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:50,480
They this guy, he was fearful.
They heard about Jericho AI and

301
00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:52,480
turns out Gibeon wasn't like a
pushover city.

302
00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:54,040
This was a stronghold.
Mighty men.

303
00:14:54,240 --> 00:14:55,840
This is not good.
So he reached out to all these

304
00:14:55,840 --> 00:14:59,120
other kings, King of Hebron,
Jarmouth, Lakish, Eaglon, and

305
00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:01,440
he's like, hey, let's get
together and we're actually

306
00:15:01,440 --> 00:15:04,200
gonna take Gibeon kind of back.
We're gonna like some of this

307
00:15:04,200 --> 00:15:07,200
territory that was lost.
We're gonna kind of take it back

308
00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:08,640
on verse five.
I will read this.

309
00:15:08,640 --> 00:15:10,720
It says then the five kings of
the Amorites, the king of

310
00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:12,840
Jerusalem, the king of Hebron,
the king of Jarmouth, the king

311
00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:15,880
of Lakish and the king of Egon
gather their forces and went up

312
00:15:15,880 --> 00:15:18,360
with all their armies and they
camped against Gibeon and made

313
00:15:18,360 --> 00:15:22,560
war against it.
We see Gibeon say.

314
00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:24,400
Joshua, you gotta help us out
here.

315
00:15:24,760 --> 00:15:27,640
Hey, we tricked you, but we're
friends now.

316
00:15:28,160 --> 00:15:30,640
We're cutting that.
We're drawing that water awfully

317
00:15:30,640 --> 00:15:31,960
well.
Can.

318
00:15:31,960 --> 00:15:36,200
You can you help us out?
Go ahead and let's read.

319
00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:39,800
At least let's read.
Let's read verses 8 through 11.

320
00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:43,920
There you go, It says the Lord
said to Joshua, Do not fear

321
00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:46,480
them, for I have given them into
your hands.

322
00:15:46,680 --> 00:15:48,480
Not one of them shall stand
before you.

323
00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:51,840
So Joshua came upon them
suddenly by marching all night

324
00:15:51,840 --> 00:15:55,880
from Gilgal, and Yahweh
confounded them before Israel,

325
00:15:55,880 --> 00:15:59,320
and he slew them with a great
slaughter at Gibeon, and pursued

326
00:15:59,320 --> 00:16:04,760
them by the way of the ascent of
Beth Horon, and struck them as

327
00:16:04,760 --> 00:16:10,400
far as Azaca and Makada, as they
fled from, As they fled from

328
00:16:10,400 --> 00:16:14,280
before Israel, While they were
at the descent of Beth Horan,

329
00:16:14,640 --> 00:16:19,880
the Lord threw large stones from
heaven on them as far as Azaca,

330
00:16:19,880 --> 00:16:23,840
and they died.
They there were more who died

331
00:16:23,840 --> 00:16:27,720
from the hailstones than those
whom the sons of Israel killed

332
00:16:27,720 --> 00:16:29,400
with sword.
A couple things here.

333
00:16:29,400 --> 00:16:33,120
I think this almost encapsulates
like Josh, the book of Joshua in

334
00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:36,200
a nutshell.
Verse 8 says don't fear them.

335
00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:38,040
I'm giving them your hands.
That's like shades of like

336
00:16:38,160 --> 00:16:40,840
chapter 1, like we see this
motif of like be courageous, be

337
00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:44,520
strong in the Lord On the very
next verse, what's Joshua do?

338
00:16:44,520 --> 00:16:47,480
He takes the army and marches.
There's like obedience.

339
00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:51,440
It's like don't be afraid.
Joshua acts in the light of that

340
00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:56,400
shows some faith and then we see
Yahweh sounds like a warrior

341
00:16:56,400 --> 00:16:58,080
here.
Sounds more like Jesus

342
00:16:58,160 --> 00:17:01,320
Revelation at the end of
Revelation than maybe what

343
00:17:01,320 --> 00:17:05,240
you're accustomed throwing them
the hailstones like doing some

344
00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:09,839
damage destroys more than all of
Joshua's men.

345
00:17:09,839 --> 00:17:11,400
That's like amazing.
So you see, like all of that

346
00:17:11,400 --> 00:17:13,560
wrapped up in 3 little verses.
Yeah, that's pretty cool.

347
00:17:14,280 --> 00:17:16,599
I'm going to read verses 12
through 14.

348
00:17:16,599 --> 00:17:18,680
We'll spend some time talking
about this.

349
00:17:18,880 --> 00:17:21,520
At that time Joshua spoke to
Yahweh in the day when Yahweh

350
00:17:21,520 --> 00:17:23,359
gave the Amorites over to the
sons of Israel.

351
00:17:23,359 --> 00:17:28,119
And he said, in the sight of
Israel, sun sands stand still at

352
00:17:28,119 --> 00:17:31,880
Gibeon and moon in the valley of
I Jalan.

353
00:17:31,920 --> 00:17:34,600
And the sun stood still, and the
moon stopped until the nation

354
00:17:34,600 --> 00:17:38,480
took vengeance on their enemies.
Is it not written in the book of

355
00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:39,960
Joshar?
The sun stopped in the midst of

356
00:17:39,960 --> 00:17:42,920
heaven and did not hurry to set
for about a whole day.

357
00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:46,120
For there's been no day like it
before or since when Yahweh

358
00:17:46,120 --> 00:17:51,240
heeded the voice of a man.
For Yahweh fight for Israel, sun

359
00:17:51,240 --> 00:17:54,000
stood still.
This is the classic verse that

360
00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:56,280
if you start reading down rabbit
holes, there's a million

361
00:17:56,280 --> 00:17:58,680
different explanations, like
what was going on here.

362
00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:04,160
So let's talk about it.
You know, do you know, did

363
00:18:04,240 --> 00:18:07,760
Earth's rotation just like stop
rotating right there?

364
00:18:08,400 --> 00:18:12,200
Some people have said maybe
there was an eclipse of sorts.

365
00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:15,800
Some people look at this and
says it seems like the sun stood

366
00:18:15,800 --> 00:18:17,200
over here and the moon was over
here.

367
00:18:17,200 --> 00:18:21,080
Like it couldn't be an eclipse
because it seems like there's

368
00:18:21,080 --> 00:18:23,240
two geographic places where the
sun and the moon.

369
00:18:23,240 --> 00:18:27,280
Were how would an eclipse help?
Well, I think some people, like

370
00:18:28,600 --> 00:18:31,720
some people would say things
like, you know, when those

371
00:18:31,720 --> 00:18:34,440
cultures, if there's an eclipse,
it's like, oh, like it throws

372
00:18:34,440 --> 00:18:36,800
the other army into a panic.
Like, do you know what I'm

373
00:18:36,800 --> 00:18:38,080
saying?
Like it's a bad omen.

374
00:18:38,360 --> 00:18:42,120
Or even the way like rather
being supernatural necessarily,

375
00:18:42,120 --> 00:18:43,600
like the sun that literally
stood still.

376
00:18:43,960 --> 00:18:47,920
They would say things like, oh,
in the Jerusalem culture, if you

377
00:18:47,920 --> 00:18:51,000
saw the sun like that, that
meant judgement was upon you or

378
00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:54,680
something like that.
You know, some people would say,

379
00:18:54,720 --> 00:18:57,320
you know, maybe there was this
unique cloud cover making it not

380
00:18:57,320 --> 00:18:59,120
so hot.
So they fought all day.

381
00:18:59,400 --> 00:19:01,880
And then some of these there's a
bunch of different Canaanite

382
00:19:01,880 --> 00:19:05,120
superstitions of bad omens when
the sun and moon were in certain

383
00:19:05,120 --> 00:19:08,040
spots and that they saw that
they would have like maybe not

384
00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:10,000
given up.
But you know, you see all these

385
00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:10,480
things.
Have you?

386
00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:12,080
Are you familiar with the
darkness view?

387
00:19:12,840 --> 00:19:15,640
This is what this guy didn't
bring the book Dale Davis.

388
00:19:16,760 --> 00:19:19,600
He's like, hey, I don't think
this is a slam dunk, but I had

389
00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:21,760
never heard this.
He's like people don't give this

390
00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:26,480
credence and Hebrew the the
words for stand still, mean,

391
00:19:26,560 --> 00:19:31,360
dumb, silent or still.
So which activity of the sun and

392
00:19:31,360 --> 00:19:34,840
moon is Joshua prohibiting?
Most assume it's their movement

393
00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:37,640
but he's like maybe it's their
shining like sun.

394
00:19:37,640 --> 00:19:39,560
Keep it dark while we raid them.
Keep it.

395
00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:42,640
And so this, this is what why
he.

396
00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:45,120
Yeah, he would say it's a good
time to ask for darkness.

397
00:19:45,520 --> 00:19:49,280
It would be, you know, almost
it's like if they went all night

398
00:19:49,280 --> 00:19:53,760
and they're attacking at 7:00
AM, it almost would be like, you

399
00:19:53,800 --> 00:19:55,960
might not want a lot more day
old.

400
00:19:55,960 --> 00:19:57,080
I mean, you know what I mean?
Just like that.

401
00:19:57,080 --> 00:19:59,240
But he's like, there are
problems with that.

402
00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:02,800
View 2 verse 13, the way the
moon stopped.

403
00:20:02,880 --> 00:20:04,480
I I don't know, there's things
that don't make it perfect.

404
00:20:04,480 --> 00:20:06,320
I had never heard that, so I
thought that was interesting to

405
00:20:06,360 --> 00:20:06,920
bring up.
Did.

406
00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:11,040
You want to mention like some
type of supernova going off and

407
00:20:11,040 --> 00:20:14,120
making it bright?
He just mentioned like a couple

408
00:20:14,120 --> 00:20:16,800
and he was like, go read these
five books if you want to like

409
00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:17,800
know, like all the things.
Yeah.

410
00:20:17,800 --> 00:20:20,480
What else have you?
Because there is a.

411
00:20:20,720 --> 00:20:25,400
You know, I haven't.
To me, when I have heard people

412
00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:27,720
talk about this, it seems like
we always try to find some

413
00:20:27,720 --> 00:20:30,360
natural explanation where it
lines up.

414
00:20:30,560 --> 00:20:35,200
And I'm I'm generally OK with
that because a natural

415
00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:39,080
phenomenon that's rare, that
coincides exactly when God's

416
00:20:39,080 --> 00:20:41,560
army needs it to happen, you
could still say that's

417
00:20:41,560 --> 00:20:42,600
miraculous.
Totally.

418
00:20:42,840 --> 00:20:44,640
Yeah, right.
But I'm not necessarily

419
00:20:44,640 --> 00:20:46,320
convinced it was a natural
phenomenon.

420
00:20:46,320 --> 00:20:48,440
It could have been.
It could be as simple as.

421
00:20:48,520 --> 00:20:51,640
God just made it light or God
just made it dark somehow.

422
00:20:52,040 --> 00:20:55,240
He didn't have to have some
natural Kerman occurring

423
00:20:55,240 --> 00:20:58,000
phenomenon.
I think the take away is that

424
00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:02,440
God acted here to allow Joshua
to be victorious in a way that

425
00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:04,120
was kind of unprecedented at
the.

426
00:21:04,120 --> 00:21:07,080
Time I think that's so good
where it's like you can everyone

427
00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:09,440
else people get like been out
over this thing it's like don't

428
00:21:09,440 --> 00:21:12,520
miss the main point we see all
what God's doing we see it is

429
00:21:12,520 --> 00:21:18,000
unique here that even the way
it's word verse 14.

430
00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:21,800
There's not been a day when the
Lord heeded the voice of a man

431
00:21:21,800 --> 00:21:26,480
like Joshua cried out.
Yahweh was was on board and we

432
00:21:26,480 --> 00:21:29,640
see through the story always
clearly in charge and all these

433
00:21:29,640 --> 00:21:32,480
things.
The rest of the chapter is

434
00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:34,960
really devoted to the victory.
I mean, we could see where it's

435
00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:37,040
going.
And the five kings are trapped

436
00:21:37,040 --> 00:21:40,400
in a cave.
Read verse 24 for us.

437
00:21:41,080 --> 00:21:44,840
It says, when they brought these
kings out to Joshua, Joshua

438
00:21:44,840 --> 00:21:47,520
called for all the men of
Israel, and said to the chiefs

439
00:21:47,520 --> 00:21:52,000
of the men of war who had gone
with them, Come near, put your

440
00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:54,840
feet on the necks of these
kings.

441
00:21:55,280 --> 00:21:58,160
So they came near, and they put
their feet on their necks.

442
00:21:58,640 --> 00:22:00,760
Isn't that that would be quite
like, I mean, you're Israel,

443
00:22:00,760 --> 00:22:04,280
you've seen enough, but this is
kind of teeing up a bunch more

444
00:22:04,280 --> 00:22:06,360
fighting.
And this is just like, you know,

445
00:22:06,360 --> 00:22:08,240
be strong and courageous.
Like look what I've done for

446
00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:09,720
you.
And and we saw like you always

447
00:22:09,840 --> 00:22:12,880
throwing on the hailstones,
causing the sun to stand still,

448
00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:16,080
that that'd probably be pretty,
pretty impactful where I was

449
00:22:16,080 --> 00:22:19,760
like, yeah, I think, I think we
can we can, we can make this

450
00:22:19,760 --> 00:22:23,160
this happen.
So anyway, through verse 2728,

451
00:22:23,160 --> 00:22:25,440
we kind of see the victory
there.

452
00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:30,520
The second-half of chapter 10
just shows more and more

453
00:22:30,520 --> 00:22:34,680
conquest of the South part of
Canaan, six more towns decimated

454
00:22:34,680 --> 00:22:38,960
by Israel.
Seems like you if you start

455
00:22:38,960 --> 00:22:42,160
reading through all this, it
seems like a lot of conquering

456
00:22:42,160 --> 00:22:43,520
had to be done.
It almost makes you wonder and

457
00:22:43,520 --> 00:22:44,960
judges one.
Like how much more did they have

458
00:22:44,960 --> 00:22:46,040
to do?
Right.

459
00:22:46,040 --> 00:22:51,160
Well, even through like Second
Samuel there, yes, there's

460
00:22:51,360 --> 00:22:53,520
riding the land.
So it is crazy.

461
00:22:53,520 --> 00:22:55,160
It is crazy.
Did they come?

462
00:22:55,160 --> 00:22:58,000
Did they sneak back in or these
They're just getting the city

463
00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:01,320
States and then the but then the
in betweens there's like these

464
00:23:01,760 --> 00:23:03,120
nomadic people and stuff.
It's.

465
00:23:03,240 --> 00:23:04,360
It's yeah, I know, but there's
so many.

466
00:23:04,360 --> 00:23:06,080
Yeah.
That's, I think that's part of

467
00:23:06,080 --> 00:23:09,160
it.
What this one commentator makes

468
00:23:09,160 --> 00:23:10,880
this point.
I think it's interesting.

469
00:23:11,200 --> 00:23:19,520
Is it in chapter 10 and verses
283235373942, we see this phrase

470
00:23:19,520 --> 00:23:21,800
about taking the land where they
took the land.

471
00:23:21,800 --> 00:23:26,600
When we look at in Judges, we
see the word they're called to

472
00:23:26,600 --> 00:23:29,800
possess the land or occupy the
land or to drive out.

473
00:23:30,040 --> 00:23:32,480
It's like a little bit different
verbiage where they took

474
00:23:32,480 --> 00:23:37,720
everything, but they didn't
necessarily possess or settle or

475
00:23:37,720 --> 00:23:40,400
drive out and do all the.
I'm sure that would have been

476
00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:43,880
challenging to, you know, it's
like we got a nice little town

477
00:23:43,880 --> 00:23:46,800
here and let's not, you know,
but have you ever?

478
00:23:46,800 --> 00:23:48,520
Played Risk.
I have played Risk.

479
00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:52,240
So maybe it's like, you know, on
Risk you can like take a

480
00:23:52,240 --> 00:23:55,200
continent, but you don't like
have all of it.

481
00:23:55,560 --> 00:23:58,200
And so then maybe you have the
borders of it, but then you need

482
00:23:58,200 --> 00:24:02,920
to multiply your troops and, you
know, just eliminate all the

483
00:24:02,920 --> 00:24:05,160
enemy enemy from that so you can
start getting those troop

484
00:24:05,160 --> 00:24:07,040
bonuses for that continent that
you have.

485
00:24:07,720 --> 00:24:12,920
There you go.
Yeah, it's it's chapter 10 comes

486
00:24:12,920 --> 00:24:15,520
to read verse 42.
It kind of, it kind of sums up

487
00:24:15,560 --> 00:24:20,000
why Israel was victorious.
Joshua captured all these kings

488
00:24:20,040 --> 00:24:24,440
and their lands at one time
because Yahweh, the God of

489
00:24:24,440 --> 00:24:28,040
Israel, fought for Israel.
Also great encapsulation, like

490
00:24:28,040 --> 00:24:32,200
Joshua was the means but it was
because of what Yahweh did.

491
00:24:32,200 --> 00:24:35,040
It's like you can't escape this
theme anywhere.

492
00:24:35,040 --> 00:24:37,120
So we covered Chapter 9, Chapter
10.

493
00:24:37,480 --> 00:24:42,800
We're shifting Chapter 11 one
through 15 is all about the

494
00:24:42,800 --> 00:24:48,040
conquest of northern Canaan.
If we read, you know, first one,

495
00:24:48,040 --> 00:24:51,080
it says when Jabin, king of Azor
heard of this and then he acted

496
00:24:51,080 --> 00:24:53,960
so kind of the same heading to
hear about what's going on.

497
00:24:54,800 --> 00:24:59,720
This place, Hazor is located 10
miles north of the Sea of

498
00:24:59,720 --> 00:25:03,840
Galilee, supposedly a major
force that was close to a major

499
00:25:03,840 --> 00:25:06,600
trade route, the Via Maris, Via
Maris.

500
00:25:06,600 --> 00:25:10,200
And then that that like kind of
trade highway that went from

501
00:25:10,200 --> 00:25:14,840
Egypt to Mesopotamia and Syria.
So if people think

502
00:25:15,240 --> 00:25:16,520
archaeologically, this is where
it was.

503
00:25:16,520 --> 00:25:20,760
This was like a major city,
major Kingdom in the Syria

504
00:25:20,760 --> 00:25:25,120
Palestine area.
So this is probably a big deal.

505
00:25:25,760 --> 00:25:29,040
In verses one through 5, we see
kind of a similar thing.

506
00:25:29,040 --> 00:25:31,960
Many kings come together in the
north to stand against Israel.

507
00:25:32,640 --> 00:25:34,800
All kings if you look where
they're at, probably around

508
00:25:34,800 --> 00:25:37,120
Galilee.
Nazareth.

509
00:25:37,840 --> 00:25:39,600
Exactly.
And in reading this, you kind of

510
00:25:39,600 --> 00:25:42,080
get the idea.
Maybe you can read verse four.

511
00:25:42,520 --> 00:25:44,640
I think we get the idea that
there's a lot of people here.

512
00:25:44,680 --> 00:25:48,920
They came out, they and all
their armies with them, as many

513
00:25:48,920 --> 00:25:53,240
people as the sand that is on
the seashore with very many

514
00:25:53,240 --> 00:25:54,600
horses and Chariots.
Yeah.

515
00:25:54,800 --> 00:25:56,640
So it seems a little
overwhelming.

516
00:25:57,080 --> 00:26:01,200
Probably seems like OK, like
they had just had this great

517
00:26:01,200 --> 00:26:04,360
victory, but probably a little
bit a little bit crazy.

518
00:26:04,720 --> 00:26:07,360
I think also, yeah, we you
mentioned with the horses and

519
00:26:07,360 --> 00:26:10,800
the Chariots.
So you see all the people and

520
00:26:10,800 --> 00:26:12,840
then, you know, Chariots in
those days, you know, some

521
00:26:12,840 --> 00:26:16,440
people that's right that they
got the technology, they got the

522
00:26:16,440 --> 00:26:20,280
horses that can run around these
these tanks of sorts with the

523
00:26:20,760 --> 00:26:25,080
with the Chariots and we really
get to the heart of it.

524
00:26:25,080 --> 00:26:28,680
I'll read versus 6 through 9.
And Yahweh said to Joshua, Don't

525
00:26:28,680 --> 00:26:31,240
be afraid of them.
The same thing for tomorrow.

526
00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:35,080
At this time I will give over
all of them slain to Israel.

527
00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:38,440
You shall hamstring their horses
and burn their Chariots with

528
00:26:38,440 --> 00:26:40,400
fire.
So Joshua and all his warriors

529
00:26:40,400 --> 00:26:43,240
came suddenly against them by
the waters of Merrim and fell

530
00:26:43,240 --> 00:26:44,960
upon them.
And Yahweh gave them into the

531
00:26:44,960 --> 00:26:47,880
hand of Israel, who struck them,
and chased them as far as the

532
00:26:47,880 --> 00:26:52,440
great Sidon and the Miss Riff
off name, and eastward as far as

533
00:26:52,440 --> 00:26:55,440
the valley of Mispa.
And they struck them until he

534
00:26:55,440 --> 00:26:58,040
left, none remaining.
And Joshua did to them, just as

535
00:26:58,040 --> 00:27:01,280
you always said to him.
He humstrung their horses and

536
00:27:01,280 --> 00:27:05,320
burned their Chariots with fire.
Seems like the least of

537
00:27:05,320 --> 00:27:07,920
resources, yeah.
Exactly.

538
00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:10,000
You might look at that and be
like, they couldn't use those

539
00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:12,880
horses.
I I like hamstringing a horse,

540
00:27:12,880 --> 00:27:14,360
if you know what I mean.
They hamstrung them.

541
00:27:14,640 --> 00:27:17,480
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
That's tough on the horses, too.

542
00:27:17,800 --> 00:27:20,560
It's not a good day to be A to
be horse or chariot.

543
00:27:20,640 --> 00:27:22,680
Burn them.
You're like, you can keep the

544
00:27:22,680 --> 00:27:26,200
Chariots, right?
But you know, God told Moses,

545
00:27:26,240 --> 00:27:28,960
you know, you're not supposed to
accumulate horses and Chariots.

546
00:27:29,120 --> 00:27:31,400
I'm in five.
That that's like the perfect.

547
00:27:31,400 --> 00:27:36,840
It's like they knew that, yeah,
going into it maybe where people

548
00:27:36,840 --> 00:27:39,880
think this Kingdom of Merrim was
one of these kingdoms and Upper

549
00:27:39,880 --> 00:27:42,800
Galilee was 4000 feet above sea
level.

550
00:27:43,240 --> 00:27:46,520
You know, maybe that's where
Yahweh LED Joshua, where maybe

551
00:27:46,520 --> 00:27:48,240
Chariots would have a little bit
hard time, you know,

552
00:27:48,240 --> 00:27:49,280
maneuvering.
You see these things.

553
00:27:49,280 --> 00:27:51,640
I don't know, You can always
make these, make these guesses.

554
00:27:52,240 --> 00:27:55,120
Verses 10 through 15, we kind of
get to the end of this northern

555
00:27:55,120 --> 00:27:57,800
conquest.
Joshua's obedience to God's

556
00:27:57,800 --> 00:28:01,360
commands kind of fit with what's
been written in the Torah.

557
00:28:01,360 --> 00:28:05,080
There's complete destruction,
burns one of these cities.

558
00:28:05,680 --> 00:28:08,920
If you look throughout Joshua, I
think only three cities are

559
00:28:08,920 --> 00:28:13,920
explicitly burned.
It's Jericho AI in one of these

560
00:28:14,640 --> 00:28:16,960
and you might be like why didn't
Israel burn all the cities?

561
00:28:17,800 --> 00:28:19,240
Probably 'cause they're
occupying them.

562
00:28:19,640 --> 00:28:22,240
Yes, You got like these great
promises in Deuteronomy 6 that

563
00:28:22,520 --> 00:28:24,200
you're gonna live in cities that
you didn't build.

564
00:28:24,480 --> 00:28:27,480
You're gonna like, have these.
Olives that you didn't plant.

565
00:28:27,880 --> 00:28:30,440
It and it's like, oh man, so
that that's why you might, you

566
00:28:30,440 --> 00:28:33,000
know, you're not burning down
everything.

567
00:28:34,640 --> 00:28:37,320
Anyway, we see the Torah Moses,
you know, was quote UN quote,

568
00:28:37,320 --> 00:28:41,320
the lawmaker Joshua is like a
law keeper here, like living out

569
00:28:41,320 --> 00:28:45,200
the Torah Torah being a model.
And so that kind of closes out

570
00:28:45,600 --> 00:28:50,240
the northern campaign, which
gets us to the last part of

571
00:28:50,240 --> 00:28:53,440
chapter, the last half of
Chapter 11.

572
00:28:55,200 --> 00:28:58,120
Let's let's do this.
Can you read the bookends of

573
00:28:58,120 --> 00:28:59,400
this section?
It's kind of a summary of

574
00:28:59,400 --> 00:29:02,240
everything, so 16 and 23.
Thus Joshua took all that he

575
00:29:02,240 --> 00:29:06,080
had, the Hill Country and all
the Negev, all the land of

576
00:29:06,080 --> 00:29:10,800
Goshen, the lowland, the Araba,
the Hill Country of Israel and

577
00:29:10,800 --> 00:29:12,840
its lowland, skipping down in
23.

578
00:29:12,840 --> 00:29:17,040
So Joshua took the whole land
according to all that Yahweh had

579
00:29:17,040 --> 00:29:20,920
spoken to Moses, and Joshua gave
it for an inheritance to Israel

580
00:29:20,920 --> 00:29:23,200
according to their divisions by
their tribes.

581
00:29:23,440 --> 00:29:27,280
Thus the land had rest from war.
Yeah, we're just finishing

582
00:29:27,280 --> 00:29:28,720
eleven.
It seems like they did a lot.

583
00:29:29,280 --> 00:29:30,880
You're done with the book.
That's the end of the.

584
00:29:30,880 --> 00:29:34,720
Book, let's close it up and the
verses you read, it mentions the

585
00:29:34,720 --> 00:29:38,320
Hill Country places in the Negev
and the Dead Sea, and then also

586
00:29:38,320 --> 00:29:40,080
mentioned places like Mount
Hermon and the North.

587
00:29:40,080 --> 00:29:42,560
So it is like this summary, like
we got the north, we got the

588
00:29:42,560 --> 00:29:47,720
South, we got everything in
between of no verse 18, I'll

589
00:29:47,720 --> 00:29:50,640
read this.
It says Joshua made war a long

590
00:29:50,640 --> 00:29:53,400
time with all those kings.
I think he can read it and be

591
00:29:53,400 --> 00:29:57,400
like, we got a Jericho a we're
just like motoring through it

592
00:29:57,400 --> 00:30:00,760
probably was.
Yeah, exactly like any, you

593
00:30:00,760 --> 00:30:02,880
know, long war.
You just have to think of like

594
00:30:03,480 --> 00:30:06,520
how much it wore on them.
And in this book I was reading,

595
00:30:07,720 --> 00:30:12,160
they like did math based on
Caleb 40 when Moses sent him as

596
00:30:12,160 --> 00:30:16,560
a spy.
And then it says from that in in

597
00:30:17,080 --> 00:30:20,920
Joshua, from that time entering
Canaan, Joshua was 78.

598
00:30:20,920 --> 00:30:24,640
It was, you know, 78 years old.
He receives his allotment for

599
00:30:24,640 --> 00:30:25,960
the language.
He's 85.

600
00:30:26,040 --> 00:30:31,240
So it's probably around 7 years
or so, which is a good number,

601
00:30:31,240 --> 00:30:34,040
seven years.
Of conquest, yeah, that's your.

602
00:30:34,040 --> 00:30:36,240
But it wasn't.
Like, this was overnight.

603
00:30:36,240 --> 00:30:38,480
They just, like, ransacked.
I mean, it seems like they were

604
00:30:38,480 --> 00:30:42,160
very successful, but you got to
think 7 years of war, man,

605
00:30:42,520 --> 00:30:44,400
probably gets old after a while.
Yeah, it's like.

606
00:30:44,920 --> 00:30:47,840
Seven years without going to the
Super Bowl or something like I

607
00:30:47,840 --> 00:30:51,240
can't imagine.
It you're like unfathomable.

608
00:30:52,400 --> 00:30:55,720
So it's a lie.
We see more of what Yahweh did.

609
00:30:56,240 --> 00:30:57,200
Well.
I like these verses.

610
00:30:57,200 --> 00:31:01,480
If you want to read verse 19 and
20 it says.

611
00:31:01,720 --> 00:31:05,960
There was not a city which made
peace with the sons of Israel

612
00:31:05,960 --> 00:31:07,880
except the Hivites living in
Gibeon.

613
00:31:08,320 --> 00:31:12,280
They took them all in battle,
for it was of Yahweh to harden

614
00:31:12,280 --> 00:31:16,200
their hearts to meet Israel in
battle, in order that He might

615
00:31:16,280 --> 00:31:20,320
utterly destroy them, that they
might receive no mercy, but that

616
00:31:20,320 --> 00:31:24,600
He might destroy them, just as
Yahweh had commanded Moses man.

617
00:31:25,560 --> 00:31:28,640
Keeping in mind they had, you
know, 400 years of mercy or

618
00:31:28,640 --> 00:31:32,920
whatever, you know what I mean?
Also of no, if you read just a

619
00:31:32,920 --> 00:31:36,080
little bit past this, it says
there was none of the Anakim

620
00:31:36,080 --> 00:31:40,960
left in the land of the people
of Israel, only in Gaza, in Gath

621
00:31:41,400 --> 00:31:44,880
and in Ashdod in summer Maine,
foreshadowing Goliath Gath,

622
00:31:44,920 --> 00:31:47,120
right.
I guess it was like they cleared

623
00:31:47,120 --> 00:31:51,880
the land from these giants, but
Anakim bloodline still there.

624
00:31:51,880 --> 00:31:55,120
But that that's a big deal
because that that's the reason

625
00:31:55,120 --> 00:31:56,760
they wondered for 40 years like
the Anakim.

626
00:31:56,760 --> 00:31:59,200
So it's like they that they did,
they did that.

627
00:32:00,640 --> 00:32:03,880
You read verse 23 inheritance
and rest.

628
00:32:03,880 --> 00:32:07,960
And I guess I lied.
I've got one more chapter.

629
00:32:07,960 --> 00:32:11,720
That we'll just.
Breeze right through here not

630
00:32:11,720 --> 00:32:13,960
'cause it's not important, but
because I think we can summarize

631
00:32:13,960 --> 00:32:17,760
it pretty pretty quickly here
'cause this is the classic

632
00:32:17,760 --> 00:32:20,440
chapter if you're going to skim
your you start reading on your

633
00:32:20,440 --> 00:32:21,720
daily Bible and you're.
Like OK, I think I.

634
00:32:21,800 --> 00:32:24,800
Got this.
So yeah, it's a very.

635
00:32:24,800 --> 00:32:30,080
Long list of all the kings of
the land when the sons of Israel

636
00:32:30,080 --> 00:32:32,280
defeated and whose land they
possessed.

637
00:32:32,280 --> 00:32:35,520
And then it just goes on.
Starts with Shayan, king of the

638
00:32:35,520 --> 00:32:39,400
Amorites, who lived in Heshbon,
and it just goes through.

639
00:32:39,400 --> 00:32:42,560
There's Agha Bashan over
mountain heart.

640
00:32:42,560 --> 00:32:43,600
Yeah.
So they're all, they're all

641
00:32:43,600 --> 00:32:45,000
here.
It it it kind of lists

642
00:32:45,000 --> 00:32:46,640
everything like.
You said, and the way it's kind

643
00:32:46,640 --> 00:32:49,960
of broken down is verses one
through 6 are kings defeated by

644
00:32:50,000 --> 00:32:53,320
Moses and then seven through 24
Joshua.

645
00:32:53,320 --> 00:32:57,240
So it's kind of like combining,
it's like more of a summary,

646
00:32:57,240 --> 00:33:00,200
combining everything together.
And I love, like you mentioned

647
00:33:00,200 --> 00:33:02,680
it, Sion and Ogg.
These are the kings that are

648
00:33:02,680 --> 00:33:04,480
like always mentioned.
These are like the big, you

649
00:33:04,480 --> 00:33:06,800
know, these bad kings.
Like those are like all like,

650
00:33:06,840 --> 00:33:09,160
and all these Listerine, they're
like always there.

651
00:33:09,640 --> 00:33:12,720
They're actually referencing
Psalm 135, Psalm 136, Nehemiah

652
00:33:12,720 --> 00:33:15,920
9, Deuteronomy 31.
These are like very important.

653
00:33:17,480 --> 00:33:20,360
We see unity here between Moses,
Joshua, unity.

654
00:33:20,520 --> 00:33:22,680
It does come full circle.
We kind of started out some of

655
00:33:22,680 --> 00:33:27,320
this with, you know, Gad half
tribe of Manasseh, you know,

656
00:33:27,320 --> 00:33:29,640
these tribes like on the other
side of the Jordan saying, hey,

657
00:33:29,640 --> 00:33:32,080
we're going to fight with you
before we settle back.

658
00:33:32,080 --> 00:33:34,760
And they did their job.
We they got everything.

659
00:33:35,160 --> 00:33:37,320
I think that's, you know, part
of the reason it talks about

660
00:33:37,400 --> 00:33:42,080
this conquest on the other side
of the Jordan.

661
00:33:42,080 --> 00:33:45,120
So overall summary of Israel's
conquest, it's very specific,

662
00:33:45,120 --> 00:33:50,280
which is important, not general.
And that really Tees it up for

663
00:33:50,280 --> 00:33:53,360
next time.
Joshua 13 will start dividing

664
00:33:53,960 --> 00:33:55,040
the land.
Yeah.

665
00:33:55,040 --> 00:33:56,440
And I think we can probably
just.

666
00:33:56,960 --> 00:34:00,320
Read those chapters straight
because they kind of sell

667
00:34:00,320 --> 00:34:02,160
themselves, you know what I'm
saying?

668
00:34:02,160 --> 00:34:05,800
They just jump off the page.
Well, to briefly recap, we

669
00:34:05,800 --> 00:34:09,440
talked about Chapter 9.
Israel without Yahweh got

670
00:34:09,440 --> 00:34:12,840
deceived.
Not great and a different

671
00:34:12,840 --> 00:34:14,440
economy.
Then yeah, that's right.

672
00:34:14,440 --> 00:34:15,239
That's right.
Different.

673
00:34:15,239 --> 00:34:16,679
Economy.
So we're not saying don't go to

674
00:34:16,679 --> 00:34:18,159
Lord.
But they had they had a

675
00:34:18,159 --> 00:34:21,120
different, different way of
doing things then they kind of

676
00:34:21,120 --> 00:34:23,480
got on on the.
Same page and really rolled with

677
00:34:23,480 --> 00:34:25,880
that Southern campaign, northern
campaign.

678
00:34:25,880 --> 00:34:30,120
We talked about the summary
really, really teeing up most

679
00:34:30,120 --> 00:34:33,560
book and and the book keeps
going till 24.

680
00:34:33,560 --> 00:34:35,719
So it's like there's still a lot
of text to cover.

681
00:34:36,000 --> 00:34:37,920
So you might be like, what are
they going to talk about?

682
00:34:38,440 --> 00:34:44,840
Got to hang in for that.
It's a time for our, our, our.

683
00:34:45,000 --> 00:34:47,239
The the final.
Take the last, take whatever.

684
00:34:47,239 --> 00:34:49,120
Whatever we say, Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, I got.

685
00:34:49,800 --> 00:34:50,719
I got.
Something on my mind.

686
00:34:50,719 --> 00:34:51,679
I know she got something on your
mind.

687
00:34:51,679 --> 00:34:53,960
No, no, you're good, you know.
Your daughter?

688
00:34:54,280 --> 00:34:55,000
Oh yeah.
Which one?

689
00:34:55,000 --> 00:34:58,960
Your daughters.
Two daughters are snitches.

690
00:34:59,880 --> 00:35:01,320
You know what they say?
Yeah.

691
00:35:02,960 --> 00:35:04,520
Snitches get stitches.
Yeah, yeah.

692
00:35:04,520 --> 00:35:08,000
There you are, Chloe and Lydia,
Is this about you?

693
00:35:08,080 --> 00:35:10,760
Being on your phone in the car.
Yeah, we I the more I talk.

694
00:35:10,760 --> 00:35:12,760
The worse it gets.
I wasn't.

695
00:35:12,840 --> 00:35:15,960
Yeah, not great.
That's one of them.

696
00:35:15,960 --> 00:35:19,200
Chloe told on me and then I
can't remember.

697
00:35:19,200 --> 00:35:20,320
I feel like Lydia did.
I.

698
00:35:20,320 --> 00:35:24,240
It's escaping me right now.
Exactly what she told on me for.

699
00:35:25,400 --> 00:35:29,120
You should ask her, 'cause she
was like, was it with axe

700
00:35:29,120 --> 00:35:30,920
throwing?
I don't know what it was.

701
00:35:30,920 --> 00:35:34,120
It's something that getting
upon, but it's one of those

702
00:35:34,120 --> 00:35:39,160
things I was next to Chloe at a
stoplight and I look up and

703
00:35:39,160 --> 00:35:41,560
she's I'm like, oh, I'm.
It's like weird because it's

704
00:35:41,560 --> 00:35:43,600
like 7 of the story from her
from.

705
00:35:44,160 --> 00:35:46,160
Before she knew.
So she's like, hey, I was

706
00:35:46,160 --> 00:35:50,400
driving up there, there's this
car and it was a Tesla.

707
00:35:50,400 --> 00:35:54,000
And I was like, oh, that's Zach.
And then you got in the far left

708
00:35:54,000 --> 00:35:55,920
lane.
She was in the middle lane.

709
00:35:56,080 --> 00:36:00,000
And she said that for maybe 2
minutes or so, she tried to get

710
00:36:00,000 --> 00:36:03,760
your attention to the point
where she, it was kind of

711
00:36:03,760 --> 00:36:05,960
awkward.
She's like, OK, I'm going to

712
00:36:05,960 --> 00:36:08,760
stop doing this 'cause I feel
awkward cause 'cause she said I

713
00:36:08,760 --> 00:36:10,280
was just like, I had made my
mind up.

714
00:36:10,640 --> 00:36:13,880
I'm just going to weigh, you
know, and I you know, and it's

715
00:36:13,880 --> 00:36:18,480
like after like a minute or so,
this like she said she even got

716
00:36:18,480 --> 00:36:20,840
something like one of her
stuffed animal or something that

717
00:36:20,840 --> 00:36:24,920
she had there was waving it and
and you were I was a little

718
00:36:24,920 --> 00:36:30,200
working to Fox, to Fox's credit,
you were you're trying to you're

719
00:36:30,200 --> 00:36:31,920
trying to make the most of every
opportunity.

720
00:36:31,920 --> 00:36:33,280
I'll tell you what I'm not
saying I.

721
00:36:33,280 --> 00:36:36,840
Endorse it, but if you put on
that full self driving, then

722
00:36:37,840 --> 00:36:39,800
when your car starts starts
moving, you're like, oh, I guess

723
00:36:39,800 --> 00:36:40,840
the light screen, you know what
I mean?

724
00:36:40,840 --> 00:36:42,680
They're like, OK, I'm good.
Not that that's what you should

725
00:36:42,680 --> 00:36:44,960
rely on.
But from my point of view, I

726
00:36:44,960 --> 00:36:47,880
look up and Chloe's not paying.
I was like, oh, this is weird.

727
00:36:47,880 --> 00:36:49,600
It's like 730 morning just
dropped off my kids.

728
00:36:49,600 --> 00:36:52,040
I was like, that's weird.
I was like, oh, Chloe, I was

729
00:36:52,040 --> 00:36:55,440
waving my hands, not knowing she
had to try to get my attention.

730
00:36:55,560 --> 00:36:57,160
But now the roles were reversed
and she wasn't.

731
00:36:57,160 --> 00:36:59,360
She's like, I wasn't.
Purposes, like I was just like

732
00:36:59,360 --> 00:37:00,880
trying to make it not awkward
now.

733
00:37:00,880 --> 00:37:03,840
So she's like, I was looking at
something, turning around and

734
00:37:03,840 --> 00:37:06,840
then she notices you had like
some neon paper or something or

735
00:37:06,840 --> 00:37:09,800
was waving it or something.
It was like the car line like.

736
00:37:09,800 --> 00:37:11,680
You have like your last name.
So I was like, oh.

737
00:37:12,000 --> 00:37:14,440
Actually was I did not have my.
Full self driving on because I

738
00:37:14,440 --> 00:37:17,880
did not go and she's like Zach,
you need to go, you're not going

739
00:37:17,880 --> 00:37:20,600
to the light screen 'cause I had
to turn a left and I was like,

740
00:37:20,600 --> 00:37:22,920
oh good, 'cause I'm sure
everyone behind me that probably

741
00:37:22,920 --> 00:37:24,960
knows.
Jill loved this story though.

742
00:37:25,200 --> 00:37:27,480
Oh, I, I could tell, she texted.
The group chat, it's great.

743
00:37:27,480 --> 00:37:29,920
She loved it's, it's full circle
for her.

744
00:37:29,920 --> 00:37:31,960
Payback is sweet.
You know, 'cause I 'cause you

745
00:37:31,960 --> 00:37:34,360
may or may not.
Remember, Zach caught Jill

746
00:37:34,360 --> 00:37:37,040
texting Yeah, you know, no point
in time and.

747
00:37:37,040 --> 00:37:37,640
That's right.
That's why.

748
00:37:38,360 --> 00:37:40,280
You know, cast the first stone.
You know Speck.

749
00:37:40,280 --> 00:37:41,400
In my in her.
Yeah.

750
00:37:41,440 --> 00:37:45,560
It's that's how how it goes.
Lydia, did you remember?

751
00:37:45,560 --> 00:37:47,280
Because I think.
So OK, good because.

752
00:37:47,280 --> 00:37:49,760
She's not.
If there's one daughter who may

753
00:37:49,760 --> 00:37:52,000
not get right back to you when
you text her, it's it's legit.

754
00:37:52,160 --> 00:37:54,480
We tell her, you know, I don't
know.

755
00:37:54,480 --> 00:37:55,800
I don't want to broad, I
shouldn't.

756
00:37:55,800 --> 00:37:58,240
Broadcast it.
Oh, you don't want to broadcast?

757
00:37:58,480 --> 00:38:02,320
It's broadcast.
Safety with kids and a oh, oh, I

758
00:38:02,320 --> 00:38:03,480
do know this.
I do know this.

759
00:38:03,600 --> 00:38:05,200
Anyway, it was our car.
Died.

760
00:38:05,200 --> 00:38:07,440
It was tough.
We, we double buckled kids and

761
00:38:07,440 --> 00:38:09,960
stuff and it wasn't pretty, but
we everyone's fine.

762
00:38:10,200 --> 00:38:12,960
Yeah, yeah.
We've been in this, Yeah.

763
00:38:12,960 --> 00:38:16,320
You, you were at a place where
you had to drop a vehicle off.

764
00:38:16,320 --> 00:38:19,360
Yes.
Without the kids, yes, you just.

765
00:38:19,360 --> 00:38:21,840
Drop it off just.
Drop it off and then later

766
00:38:21,840 --> 00:38:24,640
you're like.
Oh, that vehicle had car seats

767
00:38:24,640 --> 00:38:28,120
in it that I probably needed.
Yeah, that's tough.

768
00:38:28,160 --> 00:38:29,680
Also won't get into here.
I've told the story.

769
00:38:29,680 --> 00:38:33,760
To a lot of people.
But car rider line at Northwood

770
00:38:33,760 --> 00:38:36,400
just blew my mind.
I asked Jackson to like come

771
00:38:36,400 --> 00:38:38,640
around.
It's like a snake that circles.

772
00:38:38,640 --> 00:38:42,760
In on itself it's it's something
you like you go in come around

773
00:38:42,760 --> 00:38:46,160
and then it like there it shifts
over when you and then it come

774
00:38:46,360 --> 00:38:50,520
yeah, yeah, it's it's it is it
it is a beast.

775
00:38:50,520 --> 00:38:53,760
I I was already struggling.
And we had two of my kids like

776
00:38:53,760 --> 00:38:55,160
on the right hand side of the
car.

777
00:38:56,040 --> 00:38:57,160
And I was like, oh, I just
rolled in my run.

778
00:38:57,160 --> 00:38:59,960
I was like, Jackson, just run
around to the other side.

779
00:39:00,480 --> 00:39:04,040
You thought I'd, you know, just
yelled a curse word or

780
00:39:04,040 --> 00:39:05,960
something.
All the teachers were like, no,

781
00:39:05,960 --> 00:39:08,160
someone stopped that kid not in
the road.

782
00:39:08,160 --> 00:39:10,360
Clearly it was a huge safety
like, and I agree that's

783
00:39:10,360 --> 00:39:11,800
probably not safe for kids on
their own.

784
00:39:11,800 --> 00:39:13,600
But it was like, we like almost
shut down Carl.

785
00:39:13,600 --> 00:39:15,240
It's a different world than from
what we grew up.

786
00:39:15,560 --> 00:39:19,040
In you know what I'm saying?
And, and good.

787
00:39:19,040 --> 00:39:20,600
Good on them.
Good on them.

788
00:39:20,640 --> 00:39:22,720
That's right, you're trying.
To say we trust them, yeah.

789
00:39:22,800 --> 00:39:24,320
Yeah, that, that.
Life, you know.

790
00:39:24,920 --> 00:39:28,400
That that could the the accident
that could potentially happen, I

791
00:39:28,400 --> 00:39:31,640
wasn't cut out for.
For car rider lineman Leanne

792
00:39:31,640 --> 00:39:34,000
does car rider line sometimes,
I'm obviously positive, but

793
00:39:34,000 --> 00:39:37,520
she's like man, every now and
then it get things get tense.

794
00:39:37,760 --> 00:39:39,280
It's good.
Well, that's great.

795
00:39:39,280 --> 00:39:42,720

796
00:39:42,720 --> 00:39:44,600
Well, yeah.
