Joshua 6 | Dividing the Land: Faithful Obedience, Partial Possession, and God’s Unfinished Work

1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:01,880
We're we're at that point in
Joshua Michael.

2
00:00:02,000 --> 00:00:04,240
Wow.
Where everyone puts their Bibles

3
00:00:04,240 --> 00:00:06,160
away and they say those Bible
stories were great, but I'm

4
00:00:06,160 --> 00:00:08,520
done.
Yeah, let's move on to judges.

5
00:00:09,240 --> 00:00:13,520
It's the IT we'll we'll kind of
give the big overview and kind

6
00:00:13,520 --> 00:00:18,360
of zoom in to where we are at.
But you know, not not what

7
00:00:18,360 --> 00:00:20,520
people would call the exciting
part.

8
00:00:20,520 --> 00:00:22,800
But I think as we look at it
really, really important and

9
00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:26,480
there's little themes that that
you clearly see that I think

10
00:00:26,480 --> 00:00:29,320
it's easy and daily Bible
reading to start like skimming

11
00:00:29,320 --> 00:00:31,080
through and just turning the
pages, you know?

12
00:00:31,600 --> 00:00:34,680
You're saying God put that in
there for a reason?

13
00:00:34,680 --> 00:00:36,760
Can you believe?
It and we're maybe supposed to

14
00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:41,840
glean some probably easier for
the Israelite of the day to

15
00:00:41,880 --> 00:00:44,960
glean those pieces being.
Familiar with the geography and

16
00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:47,760
the kings.
And than us, you know, separated

17
00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:50,680
by thousands of miles and
thousands of years.

18
00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:51,080
And that's.
True.

19
00:00:51,080 --> 00:00:53,920
It's like, where's this place?
Like you're like, I need a map

20
00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:56,480
if I'm going to know where that
maybe I know where Judah is,

21
00:00:56,760 --> 00:00:59,960
maybe Benjamin.
But then you start like losing

22
00:00:59,960 --> 00:01:01,320
it.
Well, because the 10 tribes are

23
00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:02,880
lost, right?
That's right.

24
00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:04,800
You're like, what are we doing?
You don't get a map and you're

25
00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:06,640
like Simeon was there.
That's weird.

26
00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:10,480
And it's like it's like you just
have no context because you know

27
00:01:10,480 --> 00:01:11,600
why?
Why would you?

28
00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:15,480
So in anyway, we are going to
talk today.

29
00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:16,960
We're going to cover a lot of
ground.

30
00:01:16,960 --> 00:01:21,080
We're going to start in chapter
13 and we are going to go

31
00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:27,080
through maybe up to around 17
through 17 this episode.

32
00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:31,200
So to recap chapters one through
4, where we're entering the

33
00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:33,240
land, we're coming into the
promised land.

34
00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:37,080
Chapter 5 through 12, we're
taking the land and then where

35
00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:40,160
we're starting here, we're
possessing the land, we're

36
00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:45,040
dividing the land up where we're
going to do our best to bring

37
00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:45,960
little.
As I was going through, it's

38
00:01:45,960 --> 00:01:47,000
like, oh, I did not realize
this.

39
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:50,040
I did not realize this.
I, I felt like learned a lot

40
00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:51,880
'cause it's, it's kind of where
it goes from this like epic

41
00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:55,600
movie with all these battle
scenes to like you were saying,

42
00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:59,360
lots monotonous land surveys
things that they they don't make

43
00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:01,200
it into the.
Of the tribes, right?

44
00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:04,600
Do we get some numbering?
Like they talk about the sizes

45
00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:05,520
of the different.
That's true.

46
00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:09,600
Yeah, we get, we get all this
stuff, but like you said, let's

47
00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:12,280
pretend like we're an Israelite
and try to get that that

48
00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:18,400
meaningful perspective on.
So starting in chapter 13.

49
00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:21,840
And, and if we're looking at a
big picture and probably in your

50
00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:25,200
Bible, it's divided up into a
couple different sections in

51
00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:27,680
mind.
Did we want to, did we want to

52
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:31,840
take it to the next level?
Our new format is really messing

53
00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:32,560
us up.
Yeah, yeah.

54
00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:35,080
So, yeah, yeah.
So we are going to take this

55
00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:39,080
Joshua study to the next level.
Let's fire up that Twanga music.

56
00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:48,600
From the hearts of the Low
Country in South Carolina.

57
00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:53,920
It's the Take Two podcast, but
we take theology to the next

58
00:02:53,920 --> 00:02:58,360
level.
Joshua chapter 13, this this

59
00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:00,440
chapter can be divided into two
sections.

60
00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:05,240
Verses one through 7 kind of
talks about the land that's

61
00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:06,640
still to be conquered,
conquered.

62
00:03:06,640 --> 00:03:09,080
It's going to be an introduction
to this whole section.

63
00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:12,840
And then the end of the chapter
we're going to start talking

64
00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:16,840
about the 2 1/2 tribes on the
east side of the Jordan.

65
00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:19,880
That would be the tribe of
Reuben, the tribe of Gad, and

66
00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:23,600
the half tribe of Manasseh.
That always gets me the half

67
00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:26,240
tribe.
All of Manasseh, but it's like

68
00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:28,880
Manasseh and Ephraim.
Or is it really half of Manasseh

69
00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:32,440
and half of Manasseh?
I I am, as we're talking, going

70
00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:34,680
to see if one of my maps.
Here we go.

71
00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:37,800
So the way this is 'cause it
helped me to look at a map, you

72
00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:39,880
can see there's like East
Manassa is huge.

73
00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:42,440
What like if you see how big
Manassas land is?

74
00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:45,280
Wow, it's a lot And even on this
map you can see Judas big, but

75
00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:46,800
Simeon's like right in the
middle of it.

76
00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:48,920
So it doesn't Juda's not as big
as it appears.

77
00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:51,280
It is very big here, but take
that's good.

78
00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:53,280
Everyone should pause that I'll.
Take a picture of that.

79
00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:54,840
There you go.
Maybe we can put it on our green

80
00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:55,680
screen.
That'd be.

81
00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:59,000
Good because it does help.
Because it is half of Manassa,

82
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:01,680
half of Manassa.
And not so because one thing

83
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:05,640
that is confusing because Joseph
has two kids.

84
00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:10,120
So is it like, you know, 11 and
and then Manassas 11.5 and

85
00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:12,760
Ephraim's, you know, brings us
up to 12, but we're really

86
00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:15,920
talking about Manassas huge and
half of Manassas on one side of

87
00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:18,160
the river and, and the other
halfs on the other side of the.

88
00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:22,079
River it exactly right.
So starting if we back up to the

89
00:04:22,079 --> 00:04:25,880
beginning of chapter 13, go
ahead and read verse one for us.

90
00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:30,480
Now Joshua was old and advanced
in years, when the Lord said to

91
00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:34,920
him, You are old and advanced in
years, and very much of the land

92
00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:37,120
remains to be possessed.
I love that, you know, very

93
00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:38,840
straightforward, always just
telling it how it is.

94
00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:43,560
You are old.
And so Joshua end of his life

95
00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:48,240
advanced in year and he's kind
of charged by Yahweh there.

96
00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:51,280
There's some land still to be
possessed.

97
00:04:51,280 --> 00:04:53,040
Talks about some of the
Philistine land in the

98
00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:56,000
southwest, some of the land that
was in the north.

99
00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:59,360
It's kind of pointing out, you
know, you've taken a lot of this

100
00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:02,520
land, but but there's more work
to be done, more stuff to

101
00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:04,960
possess.
If we were to read this whole

102
00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:08,240
section, we would read that God
promises the drive out enemies

103
00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:14,200
for Israel and God commands that
this land is going to be divided

104
00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:17,680
by the 9 1/2 tribes.
And then we flip to the

105
00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:20,160
second-half of the chapter where
we get those 2 1/2 tribes,

106
00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:23,080
Reuben, Gad and the half tribe
of Manasseh.

107
00:05:23,840 --> 00:05:27,600
Some of this would, I think, be
a little bit laborious to read,

108
00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:33,680
but go ahead and read verse 13.
Right, verse 13 says, But the

109
00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:40,000
sons of Israel did not
dispossess the Gershirites or

110
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:46,360
the Makahites, for Gersher and
Mccoth lived among Israel until

111
00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:47,640
this day.
So is that?

112
00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:49,200
Good or bad?
Probably bad.

113
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:52,960
Not great.
So it kind of talks about these

114
00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:56,240
tribes, Manasseh, half term
Manasseh, Reuben, Gad, you're

115
00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:59,680
going to possess the land on the
side of the Jordan.

116
00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:02,400
But they did not do they did not
drive out everyone.

117
00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:04,520
Then it kind of goes and talks
about, hey, Reuben, this is for

118
00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:06,400
you.
Gad, this is for you.

119
00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:10,800
Manasseh, this is for you.
And, and we see that phrase that

120
00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:13,640
you just read, we see it
repeated in Joshua chapter

121
00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:19,920
151617.
And maybe more famously, we see

122
00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:22,680
it at the very beginning of
judges, like kind of recapping

123
00:06:23,280 --> 00:06:25,720
all all that happened here.
And if we were to take time to

124
00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:29,880
read all of this, you might be
able to guess or it'd be curious

125
00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:34,600
to think about which victories
would you highlight?

126
00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:37,080
And it seems like some of the
pictures that get highlighted a

127
00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:41,760
lot are OG Sihan and Balaam gets
shout out.

128
00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:43,920
You see Balaam a lot throughout
Scripture, like mentioned, you

129
00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:45,680
know, some of these things that
those are the those are the

130
00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:48,520
victory illusions that that are
mentioned.

131
00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:52,320
And then we also mentioned that
Levites, they don't get a lot of

132
00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:55,400
land.
No, just like little pieces of

133
00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:57,480
land in all the land.
That that's right.

134
00:06:57,480 --> 00:07:00,960
Their their inheritance is is
Yahweh and these offerings and

135
00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:03,880
these kind of things.
So that is 13 in the nutshell.

136
00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:08,560
Well, can you remind me and the
listeners, because they're the

137
00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:11,120
name is very similar to the name
we just read, but the people who

138
00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:13,440
tricked Joshua early on, what
were they?

139
00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:15,200
Was it the Gibeonites?
Gibbeonites.

140
00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:16,040
Gibbeonites.
Yeah.

141
00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:18,880
And not the.
And so just to keep those clear

142
00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:21,280
from the gestureites, Yeah, the
gestureites, Yeah, yeah.

143
00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:22,840
That's the other thing.
It's not like it'd be so much

144
00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:24,920
easier if it was like the
Canadians or something, then we

145
00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:26,840
would like get it.
But it's like these like Randy,

146
00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:30,360
like OK, I heard these, but
don't have a great context for

147
00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:31,480
him.
For them.

148
00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:34,200
Chapter 14 is great because it
talks.

149
00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:37,400
What we're going to see, I think
in the coming chapters are

150
00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:41,720
different examples, some very
positive, some very negative.

151
00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:43,680
We're going to talk First off of
Caleb.

152
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:45,760
Probably a good example.
Yeah, great.

153
00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:47,240
Good example.
That's that's right.

154
00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:51,840
What Israel should have done
everywhere is what Caleb does.

155
00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:56,080
So if you're zooming out for
chapters 14 through 19, we kind

156
00:07:56,080 --> 00:08:01,120
of see a unit that emphasizes 2
faithful spies, Caleb and

157
00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:05,160
Joshua, Caleb now Joshua in
chapter 19 and then kind of

158
00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:07,960
sandwiched in between or some of
the the not so.

159
00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:08,880
Good.
No Buenos.

160
00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:14,480
No Buenos it exactly.
So let's see, if I were to

161
00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:17,320
summarize verses one through 5,
it's an overview of the

162
00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:20,280
inheritance for the 9 1/2 tribes
West of the Jordan.

163
00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:24,920
And then we get to verse 6 and
we get to Caleb's example.

164
00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:31,040
Let's can you read verses 8:00
and 9:00 for us of chapter 14?

165
00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:35,760
Nevertheless, my brethren who
went up with me made the heart

166
00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:40,520
of the people melt with fear,
but I followed Yahweh my God

167
00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:42,960
fully.
So Moses swore on that day,

168
00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:46,280
saying, Surely the land on which
your foot has trodden will be an

169
00:08:46,280 --> 00:08:49,720
inheritance to you and to your
children forever, because you

170
00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:52,040
have followed Yahweh my God
fully.

171
00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:57,120
Also read verse 14.
That says, therefore, Hebron

172
00:08:57,120 --> 00:09:02,600
became the inheritance of Caleb
the son of Jefuna the Kinezite,

173
00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:06,480
until this day, because he
followed Yahweh, God of Israel,

174
00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:08,480
fully.
So I don't know if you picked up

175
00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:11,280
on some repeated phrases in
those three verses talks about

176
00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:14,360
like holy following Yahweh and
it's what Caleb's on for.

177
00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:18,920
It's like emphasized over and
over and over again.

178
00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:22,480
If we were to read through it,
you would also see this theme of

179
00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:26,160
Yahweh keeping his promises in
verse 6/10/12.

180
00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:30,320
Really five other times Caleb in
this speech is saying I did this

181
00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:33,760
because I knew the promises were
this was promised to us.

182
00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:37,560
And so at at this time, Caleb's
also advanced in years.

183
00:09:37,560 --> 00:09:40,680
He's probably in his mid 80s,
lived through a lot of fighting.

184
00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:43,640
But just looking back in his
like guys, if I had to tell you

185
00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:48,240
anything, it's that I wholly
followed Yahweh and and it

186
00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:50,400
turned out really, really well.
One other verse to read and

187
00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:54,000
maybe we can comment on it.
Sorry, we'll read verse 12.

188
00:09:54,560 --> 00:10:00,720
Verse 12 says Now then give me
this Hill Country about which

189
00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:05,200
Yahweh spoke on that day, for
you heard on that day that

190
00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:09,120
Anakim were there with great
fortified cities.

191
00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:13,120
Perhaps Yahweh will be with me
and I will dry them out as

192
00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:16,920
Yahweh has spoken.
So this like senior citizen 85

193
00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:19,480
year old guy is like asking for
the smoke.

194
00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:24,520
He's like Anakim potential, you
know, giant connections.

195
00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:26,840
He's like I, I'm happy.
Give this to me.

196
00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:29,720
Yeah, he wants it all.
Which is crazy 'cause we know

197
00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:33,480
Israel doesn't drive out, but
Caleb's like I'm all I'm all

198
00:10:33,680 --> 00:10:35,000
about.
This I'm all in.

199
00:10:35,560 --> 00:10:38,280
And it is interesting, like just
looking back, it's like this has

200
00:10:38,280 --> 00:10:42,280
been Caleb and Joshua from day
one, and it's been everyone else

201
00:10:42,280 --> 00:10:43,160
from day one.
It's kind.

202
00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:46,040
Of we saw what the Lord can do,
who's going to hold back the

203
00:10:46,040 --> 00:10:47,760
Lord?
If I were to say the word the

204
00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:50,600
name Fido to you, what would you
think?

205
00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:52,560
I don't know, it sounds very
familiar.

206
00:10:52,560 --> 00:10:55,840
I can't.
Like if I said oh Fido,

207
00:10:56,360 --> 00:10:59,280
naturally nothing.
I don't know a dog.

208
00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:01,080
Yeah, I was going to say a dog.
I was.

209
00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:04,600
So Fido is actually Latin for
faithful.

210
00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:09,480
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.
And Caleb has those that double

211
00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:12,320
meaning of faithfulness.
And dog.

212
00:11:12,640 --> 00:11:14,560
But it's like the.
Good side of your dog.

213
00:11:14,680 --> 00:11:17,880
Because dogs are so faithful,
like they just want to serve.

214
00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:19,440
Them by your.
Side, they'll be there.

215
00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:22,000
They'll be there, man.
You know, they want to serve you

216
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:23,280
fully.
And that's what that's what

217
00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:26,320
Caleb's doing here.
Oh, that, that's great.

218
00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:29,840
We'll remember.
Remember this response by Caleb

219
00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:33,920
as we get to Chapter 17 and we
hear Joseph's tribe's response,

220
00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:36,480
not as favorable.
So that's chapter 14.

221
00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:40,000
Big take away is Caleb is this
good example doing what is

222
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:43,400
right.
Chapter 15, another tedious

223
00:11:43,400 --> 00:11:47,800
chapter of promise geography.
Verse 12 verses are tracing

224
00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:50,800
this, the inheritance of Judah,
talking about the boundaries.

225
00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:54,000
It seems boring, but like you
said, if you were an Israelite,

226
00:11:54,560 --> 00:11:58,280
this would be like Genesis 12
and Genesis 15 fulfillment.

227
00:11:58,280 --> 00:12:00,160
As far as the geography it
mentioned.

228
00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:02,720
It's like, oh, this is like
where Abraham was and you're,

229
00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:03,840
you're, you're putting this
together.

230
00:12:03,920 --> 00:12:05,440
Yeah.
For us, if someone's like, yeah,

231
00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:09,320
so you're gonna have from the
West Ashley over to, you know,

232
00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:13,000
the Marion National Forest, like
those boundary markers would be

233
00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:15,200
like, oh, that's a, that's a big
swath of land, Yeah.

234
00:12:15,680 --> 00:12:18,320
Totally.
And so kind of just tracing out

235
00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:21,840
the different boundaries, then
we move into some more victories

236
00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:26,000
by Caleb him, him actually
actualizing fighting at Hebron

237
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:29,360
and Naber.
Caleb, if we didn't know from

238
00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:33,000
the tribe of Judah.
That's interesting because

239
00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:34,840
Joshua, do we know what tribe
Joshua's from?

240
00:12:34,880 --> 00:12:37,840
Do you know this it?
Should Levi?

241
00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:39,920
That's a good guess.
I'm I used to look this but I

242
00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:42,600
think he is from Manasseh.
But I need to look this up

243
00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:44,600
before I just yell it to a
microphone.

244
00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:47,040
I'm pretty sure he is.
We can make it be a user.

245
00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:48,920
Look up like that's your
homework.

246
00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:53,000
Comment on what what tribe
Joshua's from?

247
00:12:53,520 --> 00:12:56,560
And then we get this laundry
list, verse 20.

248
00:12:56,600 --> 00:13:00,520
Verses 20 through 63 are all the
towns that belong to Judah.

249
00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:05,360
Can you read verse 63 for us?
My Bible's in my vehicle failed

250
00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:07,200
to bring it in, so I am on my
phone.

251
00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:11,640
So it says Now As for the
Jebusites, the inhabitants of

252
00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:15,560
Jerusalem, the sons of Judah
could not drive them out.

253
00:13:15,560 --> 00:13:19,520
So the Jebusites live with the
sons of Judah at Jerusalem until

254
00:13:19,520 --> 00:13:20,600
this day.
Not great.

255
00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:24,360
So we start seeing even Judah as
like, you're like, man, if I had

256
00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:27,200
to like write down the tribes, I
probably would get Judah.

257
00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:30,520
And you're like, God, I didn't
even do do great here.

258
00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:33,640
Not not a strong start.
And so that brings us into the

259
00:13:33,640 --> 00:13:37,080
last two chapters we're going to
look at on this episode, chapter

260
00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:39,600
16 through 17.
And these are both chapters

261
00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:44,160
together serve as bad examples
of Joseph's tribes.

262
00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:47,200
And I thought this might be
worth talking about if you were

263
00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:49,080
reading the Bible up into this
point.

264
00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:51,640
Joseph's killing it, man.
Joseph.

265
00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:55,240
That's the line that you're just
like, for the most part, not

266
00:13:55,240 --> 00:13:57,440
everywhere.
You're like, it just seems like

267
00:13:57,640 --> 00:14:00,880
everything's breaking their way.
Judah.

268
00:14:00,880 --> 00:14:02,680
Not.
Not quite as much.

269
00:14:03,760 --> 00:14:05,720
Yeah.
That whole episode with Tamar

270
00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:09,800
and Oman and you know that.
It it.

271
00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:11,560
It's not nothing.
Stop the highlight.

272
00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:14,040
Yeah.
So if we were to go to Genesis

273
00:14:14,520 --> 00:14:18,680
chapters 37 through 50, that
that's all devoted to Joseph,

274
00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:21,720
that's a lot of Genesis.
So it's like you read Genesis

275
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:24,920
more of Genesis talks about
Joseph than Abraham.

276
00:14:24,920 --> 00:14:28,600
You're like, it just seems like
Joseph's like got got a lot

277
00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:34,360
going on for him.
We look at Genesis 3738.

278
00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:39,440
Joseph is this moral exemplary
person, you know, Potiphar's

279
00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:43,720
wife, he flees, he saves Israel,
his brother Selman, a slaver,

280
00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:45,600
he's exalted.
All these things happen.

281
00:14:46,560 --> 00:14:48,960
You said it.
Judah, on the other hand,

282
00:14:49,080 --> 00:14:52,360
chapter 38 of Genesis is
sexually immoral.

283
00:14:53,080 --> 00:14:55,320
He's actually like, you know.
It's put in the middle of

284
00:14:55,320 --> 00:14:57,960
Joseph's stuff.
Like, it's almost like we're

285
00:14:57,960 --> 00:15:00,400
going to call Judah out here.
We're going to yes, exactly.

286
00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:02,760
It's like put right next to some
of this show like this is very

287
00:15:02,760 --> 00:15:06,600
strange.
Also Judah is one of the

288
00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:09,640
brothers like mentioned,
obviously, like selling Joseph,

289
00:15:09,640 --> 00:15:12,520
like it's like man Judah.
Joseph's got the right actions.

290
00:15:12,520 --> 00:15:16,840
Judah not so much.
The key text, the one text, if

291
00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:19,120
you were going to say man,
something appeals for Judah.

292
00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:22,520
Can you read Genesis 49, eight
through 10?

293
00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:25,120
And I bet you could before you
even turn in there.

294
00:15:25,120 --> 00:15:27,520
But you can guess what passage
this is.

295
00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:31,200
This is Joseph or Jacob blessing
his children.

296
00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:32,800
Eight through 10.
Eight through 10.

297
00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:37,480
It says Judah, your brothers
shall praise you, your hand

298
00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:41,040
shall be on the neck of your
enemies, your father's son shall

299
00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:45,320
bow down to you.
Judah is a lion's whelp from the

300
00:15:45,320 --> 00:15:47,480
prey.
My son, you have gone up.

301
00:15:48,040 --> 00:15:54,240
He crouches, he lies down as a
lion, as a lion who dares rouse

302
00:15:54,240 --> 00:15:56,560
him up.
The scepter shall not depart

303
00:15:56,560 --> 00:16:00,080
from Judah, nor the ruler staff
from between his feet, until

304
00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:04,480
Shiloh comes, and to him shall
be the obedience of the peoples.

305
00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:06,720
Now that's good.
You see this royal language of

306
00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:09,160
the future.
The scepter shall not depart

307
00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:12,800
from Judah, not really based on
Judas virtue up until this

308
00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:17,920
point, but on God's sovereign
choice of note in Genesis 44,

309
00:16:17,920 --> 00:16:21,440
there is this positive turning
point for Judah.

310
00:16:22,640 --> 00:16:25,680
He actually he he he's the one
who says, hey, taking me into

311
00:16:25,680 --> 00:16:27,000
the Benjamin.
Like you see it and you're like,

312
00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:29,560
OK, that's, that's good.
That seems positive.

313
00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:32,240
You see repentance.
You see even in Tamar, he says

314
00:16:32,240 --> 00:16:34,960
this famous phrase, she's more
righteous than I Like there's he

315
00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:37,880
did wrong, but he owns it.
You know, he doesn't like hide

316
00:16:37,880 --> 00:16:40,960
from it.
So yeah.

317
00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:42,240
Yeah.
And so you see this very

318
00:16:42,240 --> 00:16:46,120
redemptive quality in that.
And so you see Joseph, at least

319
00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:48,960
the way Genesis portrays things,
he's kind of the savior figure,

320
00:16:49,720 --> 00:16:52,760
Judah.
We see this kingly line, you

321
00:16:52,760 --> 00:16:55,880
read Exodus, you read numbers,
you think Ephraim and Manasseh,

322
00:16:56,120 --> 00:16:58,360
If you look at numbers and if
you look at that map, I just

323
00:16:58,360 --> 00:17:00,200
looked at Manasseh by itself,
gigantic.

324
00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:03,360
You add Ephraim to it.
Very blessed numerically.

325
00:17:03,960 --> 00:17:06,400
Joshua, I do have it here in the
notes is, is actually from

326
00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:08,760
Ephraim, not Manasseh, but he's
from Joseph at least.

327
00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:12,119
Joseph's bones are like carried
from Egypt.

328
00:17:12,119 --> 00:17:15,880
It's like an emphasis.
You know, it's not, it's not

329
00:17:15,880 --> 00:17:18,599
saying like you know, Judah's
bones, it's like Joseph's bones,

330
00:17:18,599 --> 00:17:21,839
right?
And Joshua, this is where this

331
00:17:21,839 --> 00:17:25,240
flip becomes visible and marks a
decisive shift.

332
00:17:25,240 --> 00:17:28,200
When you look at the land
allotment, Judah gets slightly

333
00:17:28,200 --> 00:17:30,080
more land.
It's actually in the best

334
00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:33,360
location as far as strategy
goes, got some strongholds.

335
00:17:33,360 --> 00:17:37,520
It has Jerusalem, the future
place of the temple.

336
00:17:38,040 --> 00:17:41,840
It it really becomes the
geographic backbone of Israel.

337
00:17:43,040 --> 00:17:46,600
And here Caleb, not Joshua, the
tribe of Judah, Caleb's the one

338
00:17:46,600 --> 00:17:48,480
who gets highlighted here.
And that's interesting 'cause we

339
00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:50,320
always talk about Caleb, we do
talk about Joshua, but it's

340
00:17:50,320 --> 00:17:54,040
like, I mean, Caleb, we do
always talk about Joshua more

341
00:17:54,040 --> 00:17:56,720
than Caleb.
But Caleb is very prominent

342
00:17:56,720 --> 00:17:58,280
here.
He drives out the Anakim.

343
00:17:58,800 --> 00:18:02,120
He's kind of the hero in verses
14 through 15 of people who

344
00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:06,080
actually does the driving out at
least himself, maybe not his

345
00:18:06,080 --> 00:18:09,280
tribe.
And so anyway, we we see this

346
00:18:09,280 --> 00:18:12,880
more developing judges, but it's
interesting where where we see

347
00:18:12,880 --> 00:18:16,120
kind of this flipping scripture.
It is interesting to, to look at

348
00:18:16,120 --> 00:18:18,840
the, the different tribes and
the role they play 'cause you

349
00:18:18,840 --> 00:18:22,560
would, I think Levi has a great
role too with the priestly line

350
00:18:22,560 --> 00:18:25,280
and stuff.
But clearly, like you say,

351
00:18:25,280 --> 00:18:29,320
coming out of Genesis, Joseph
kind of has a spotlight on him.

352
00:18:29,760 --> 00:18:33,360
But we see like, like if you,
it's one of those passages that

353
00:18:33,360 --> 00:18:35,920
if you're not paying attention,
you can go right through what

354
00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:39,920
I've read about Joseph blessing
his sons 'cause it's like, yeah,

355
00:18:39,920 --> 00:18:42,280
Reuben, you're going to be a
wild boar and blah, blah, blah,

356
00:18:42,280 --> 00:18:43,880
blah.
And you're like, what are we,

357
00:18:44,120 --> 00:18:46,640
what are we saying here?
Like what's going on?

358
00:18:46,920 --> 00:18:50,040
But you, you see this prophetic
stuff on, on Judah.

359
00:18:50,120 --> 00:18:53,200
So very, very interesting stuff.
And it's very interesting that

360
00:18:53,560 --> 00:18:56,920
Joshua and Caleb come out of
these kind of the two strongest

361
00:18:56,920 --> 00:19:02,000
tribes, Joseph and Judah.
And and so chapter 16 and 17 are

362
00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:05,040
going to talk about Ephraim and
Manasseh 16 start with Ephraim

363
00:19:05,480 --> 00:19:08,360
and it it follows a similar
pattern of chapter 15.

364
00:19:09,040 --> 00:19:12,680
Also something to remember, it's
like the birth order was

365
00:19:12,680 --> 00:19:15,560
actually Manasseh and Ephraim,
but Jake, the blessing got

366
00:19:15,560 --> 00:19:18,280
flipped and and you know, just
like actually you, you met, you

367
00:19:18,280 --> 00:19:22,280
crossed your arms and you know,
just like, no, no, I got I got

368
00:19:22,280 --> 00:19:23,920
or Jacob's like I got, I got
this right.

369
00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:27,000
So it anyway, something to in
mind.

370
00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:30,920
Can you read verse 10 of chapter
16?

371
00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:35,840
Yeah, that reads.
And and there's a theme going

372
00:19:35,840 --> 00:19:38,080
on.
But they did not drive out the

373
00:19:38,080 --> 00:19:41,640
Canaanites who lived in Gazer.
So the Canaanites live in the

374
00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:45,840
midst of Ephraim to this day,
and they became forced laborers.

375
00:19:46,520 --> 00:19:48,960
Not for long, not not.
For long.

376
00:19:49,440 --> 00:19:52,320
That's right.
And then the rest of that chap

377
00:19:52,320 --> 00:19:54,520
that was the end of chapter 16
in short, talked about Ephraim.

378
00:19:54,520 --> 00:19:56,880
Then we flipped to Manasseh and
I.

379
00:19:56,920 --> 00:19:59,560
They actually have a verse about
Michael Mott in verse three if

380
00:19:59,560 --> 00:19:59,960
you want to.
Oh.

381
00:19:59,960 --> 00:20:03,800
Sweet, I've never seen this
verse before verse 3.

382
00:20:04,360 --> 00:20:10,320
However, this is in chapter 17.
However, Zelophah had the son of

383
00:20:10,320 --> 00:20:14,480
Heifer, the son of Gilead, the
son of Maker, the son of

384
00:20:14,480 --> 00:20:19,520
Manasseh had no sons, only
daughters, and these are the

385
00:20:19,520 --> 00:20:24,360
names of his daughters Mahala
and Noah, Hakla, Milka and

386
00:20:24,360 --> 00:20:27,360
Tirzah.
If your daughter's ever back

387
00:20:27,360 --> 00:20:28,960
talk, you can like I should have
named you.

388
00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:34,440
I should have named you So
Craig, just trying to stay, you

389
00:20:34,440 --> 00:20:37,200
know, true to true to Scripture.
Five daughters, too.

390
00:20:37,400 --> 00:20:38,880
Yeah, that's, that's what I was
like.

391
00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:40,280
That's what I was like.
This is insane.

392
00:20:40,280 --> 00:20:44,960
Yeah, it's so funny.
And this is really a if you look

393
00:20:44,960 --> 00:20:49,360
at the background, you look at
Numbers 27, Numbers 36, this

394
00:20:49,360 --> 00:20:53,200
this person who had no sons died
and the daughters asked Moses

395
00:20:53,200 --> 00:20:55,640
for an we want an inheritance.
We're not we don't want to give

396
00:20:55,640 --> 00:20:57,920
it to the closest male relative.
That was the custom.

397
00:20:58,600 --> 00:21:01,760
Moses asked Yahweh and yeah, I
was like, yeah, they asked for

398
00:21:01,760 --> 00:21:02,080
it.
What?

399
00:21:02,080 --> 00:21:05,640
We're going to honor that in
verse 4 here, that family

400
00:21:05,640 --> 00:21:08,840
reminds Eleazar, Hey, remember
this promise like we're ready to

401
00:21:09,040 --> 00:21:11,800
now we're realizing.
So that's like a lot of faith,

402
00:21:11,800 --> 00:21:13,560
persistent.
It's like calling back on things

403
00:21:13,560 --> 00:21:16,640
that happened years and years.
And one more similarity.

404
00:21:16,760 --> 00:21:19,040
If we had a son, we're going to
name him Noah for a long time,

405
00:21:19,120 --> 00:21:20,800
really.
And one of the daughter's names

406
00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:23,000
was Noah.
That is so 'cause we.

407
00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:25,440
Remember, we were like, is it
going to mean nowhere Chloe?

408
00:21:25,440 --> 00:21:27,960
Nowhere Chloe Lydia or Chloe
Lydia.

409
00:21:27,960 --> 00:21:30,240
I mean, Lydia or Noah, yeah.
There you go.

410
00:21:30,880 --> 00:21:34,400
Go ahead and let's can you read
verses 12 and 13?

411
00:21:34,560 --> 00:21:37,920
Yeah.
It says But the sons of Manasseh

412
00:21:37,920 --> 00:21:40,600
could not take possession of
these cities because the

413
00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:43,000
Canaanites persisted in living
in that land.

414
00:21:43,440 --> 00:21:45,960
It came about when the sons of
Israel became strong.

415
00:21:45,960 --> 00:21:48,600
They put the Canaanites to
forced labor, but they did not

416
00:21:48,600 --> 00:21:51,480
drive them out completely.
And you think forced labor

417
00:21:51,480 --> 00:21:52,760
sounds good?
Right.

418
00:21:52,960 --> 00:21:55,040
Yeah, but.
But we know, like, you know,

419
00:21:55,040 --> 00:21:58,800
during Saul and David's time,
they're just going to be a thorn

420
00:21:58,800 --> 00:22:00,280
in the side.
Totally.

421
00:22:00,280 --> 00:22:04,520
This is like paving the way for
Judges 14 through 17.

422
00:22:04,520 --> 00:22:06,480
I'll read this very quickly
here.

423
00:22:06,800 --> 00:22:09,480
The people of Joseph spoke to
Joshua and they and they kind of

424
00:22:09,480 --> 00:22:12,040
say, you know what, why did you
give me one lot and one portion

425
00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:14,160
as an inheritance?
We've got a lot of people.

426
00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:17,400
We're numerous, The Lord's
blessed us, but we don't get as

427
00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:19,360
much land as we think we should.
I'm paraphrasing here.

428
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:22,720
Joshua says, if you're so
numerous, go in the forest,

429
00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:26,840
clear some ground, the land of
the perisites and the rifeme and

430
00:22:26,840 --> 00:22:31,240
the Hill Country of Ephraim, if
it's too narrow for you and the

431
00:22:31,240 --> 00:22:34,320
people of Joseph said, and the
whole country is not, not, is

432
00:22:34,320 --> 00:22:37,240
not enough for us yet all the
Canaanites who dwell in the

433
00:22:37,240 --> 00:22:40,760
plane have Chariots of iron.
So we don't want to, we don't

434
00:22:40,760 --> 00:22:42,320
want to fight them.
And and Joshua's like, you got a

435
00:22:42,320 --> 00:22:44,280
great power.
You got so many people go fight

436
00:22:44,280 --> 00:22:46,520
this.
And so again, where we see it

437
00:22:46,520 --> 00:22:49,440
kind of flip is they don't want
to, they want to complain, but

438
00:22:49,800 --> 00:22:51,400
they don't want to carry out the
test because they're like, Oh,

439
00:22:51,400 --> 00:22:55,440
it's going to be too hard.
And so we start seeing that more

440
00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:58,840
and more echoes of Deuteronomy 7
and Deuteronomy 20 where where

441
00:22:58,840 --> 00:23:01,080
we failed.
So that kind of closes out on a

442
00:23:01,080 --> 00:23:02,680
negative note.
We see like the highlights of

443
00:23:02,680 --> 00:23:05,720
Caleb, low lights of Joseph's
tribes.

444
00:23:07,240 --> 00:23:09,880
And the next section, we'll kind
of see some more low lights and

445
00:23:09,880 --> 00:23:12,280
then a highlight with Joshua at
the end of this this little

446
00:23:12,280 --> 00:23:14,520
section.
So how many, how many more in

447
00:23:14,520 --> 00:23:17,480
Joshua do we have?
I think we might have two

448
00:23:17,480 --> 00:23:21,080
episodes more and we'll be done.
We'll go 18 through 21, then

449
00:23:21,080 --> 00:23:23,600
maybe 22 through 24, then call
it a day.

450
00:23:23,760 --> 00:23:25,040
All right.
And then we'll just pick up

451
00:23:25,040 --> 00:23:27,680
right there with judges.
Just keep on rolling, go

452
00:23:27,680 --> 00:23:28,520
through.
We'll go through the whole

453
00:23:28,520 --> 00:23:34,400
Bible, but so in this to recap a
little bit, you look at this

454
00:23:34,400 --> 00:23:37,800
section of dividing up the land
and there's actually a lot baked

455
00:23:37,800 --> 00:23:40,120
in here with individual tribes
and their attitudes.

456
00:23:40,120 --> 00:23:43,040
And like the trajectory, like
the overall trajectory is pretty

457
00:23:43,040 --> 00:23:45,240
negative.
But that bright spot with Caleb

458
00:23:45,240 --> 00:23:48,440
and Judah and and the negative
with Joseph, it kind of it, it

459
00:23:48,440 --> 00:23:51,040
tells you something more than
maybe what you would normally

460
00:23:51,040 --> 00:23:52,040
pick up.
Yeah.

461
00:23:52,040 --> 00:23:55,880
And you can see how this is
setting up for problems down the

462
00:23:55,880 --> 00:24:00,720
road, even when the 10 tribes
kind of go, go rogue, you know,

463
00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:03,520
you know that that kind of
attitudes from hundreds of years

464
00:24:03,520 --> 00:24:05,800
before.
Totally, these things weren't

465
00:24:06,240 --> 00:24:10,000
decisions weren't made in the
day, but time and over time and

466
00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:12,960
over time and we're getting,
we're getting there.

467
00:24:13,400 --> 00:24:18,040
Joshua, any anything else on
this section you want to

468
00:24:18,040 --> 00:24:20,240
highlight before we go to our
last take?

469
00:24:20,360 --> 00:24:21,920
Our last take, Our final.
Take whatever.

470
00:24:21,920 --> 00:24:23,040
I don't know what sounds better.
Yeah.

471
00:24:23,560 --> 00:24:25,680
Final Countdown.
Final count to get the music

472
00:24:25,680 --> 00:24:27,760
going, yeah.
Yeah.

473
00:24:27,760 --> 00:24:31,400
No, I think this has been good.
So you taught this to the impact

474
00:24:31,400 --> 00:24:32,440
group, right?
Now I didn't.

475
00:24:32,440 --> 00:24:34,560
I was going to, but then we
didn't.

476
00:24:35,080 --> 00:24:37,080
We're not doing impact.
We killed I.

477
00:24:37,120 --> 00:24:40,240
Like to joke land on this if
y'all separate back.

478
00:24:40,520 --> 00:24:41,840
Maybe, maybe.
So we'll see.

479
00:24:41,840 --> 00:24:42,840
Maybe.
Or at least, you know, maybe

480
00:24:42,840 --> 00:24:43,560
down the road.
Save it.

481
00:24:43,560 --> 00:24:47,680
For a little bit likes combined,
but she prefers separate.

482
00:24:48,040 --> 00:24:49,160
Oh, there you go.
That's good.

483
00:24:49,160 --> 00:24:51,240
Yeah.
Let's let's let's banter about

484
00:24:52,040 --> 00:24:53,120
decisions.
That'll be good.

485
00:24:54,320 --> 00:24:59,760
No, it's good.
Yeah, I impact started impact in

486
00:24:59,760 --> 00:25:04,000
2020 coming out of COVID and we
I like the joke.

487
00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:07,800
We killed a killed a six year
old, just put it to death and

488
00:25:07,800 --> 00:25:09,200
now we're a young adult
fellowship.

489
00:25:09,200 --> 00:25:10,800
But it was good. 6 year old
program.

490
00:25:10,920 --> 00:25:12,440
A six year old.
Program not a six year old

491
00:25:12,480 --> 00:25:14,160
human.
Yeah, don't just say 6 year old.

492
00:25:14,160 --> 00:25:15,960
That's great.
So this should air on February

493
00:25:15,960 --> 00:25:16,640
10th.
Oh.

494
00:25:16,640 --> 00:25:21,000
OK, Yeah.
So if something so either in

495
00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:25,720
real life, yeah, I'm kind of
happy, really ecstatic, or

496
00:25:25,720 --> 00:25:28,800
you're kind of bummed from what
happened on February 8th.

497
00:25:29,320 --> 00:25:35,480
Man, yeah, if you know, if I had
to guess, like I I'm not, I

498
00:25:35,480 --> 00:25:38,160
won't say I've never wagered on
a sports game in my life.

499
00:25:38,160 --> 00:25:41,880
Haven't done so in a very long
time, but if I was a wagering

500
00:25:41,880 --> 00:25:44,640
guy, I I would put money on the
Patriots just to hedge my bets

501
00:25:44,640 --> 00:25:47,200
because it just seems like
things fall their way.

502
00:25:47,280 --> 00:25:50,200
You know what I'm saying Sam?
Someone's going to get injured.

503
00:25:50,200 --> 00:25:53,480
It's or or going to fall apart.
Like Sam Darnold's going to

504
00:25:53,480 --> 00:25:56,880
throw like 3 interception and
look terrible and spiral and

505
00:25:57,440 --> 00:25:58,560
that's just what's going to
happen.

506
00:25:58,720 --> 00:26:03,280
I keep seeing more stats and I'm
like, plus the stats, the

507
00:26:03,280 --> 00:26:08,360
numbers kind of go, OK, we're
we're not the underdog that

508
00:26:08,360 --> 00:26:10,720
people make us out to be.
Oh yeah, I went.

509
00:26:10,840 --> 00:26:13,680
And we kind of got some
momentum, I think.

510
00:26:13,840 --> 00:26:16,280
I think I, I think so too.
I think with Seahawks, they

511
00:26:16,280 --> 00:26:19,120
played well, but it's like
they've been home.

512
00:26:19,120 --> 00:26:22,840
Like the Rams played on the
like, I kind of was hoping the

513
00:26:22,840 --> 00:26:24,280
Rams weren't.
They played on the road like

514
00:26:24,640 --> 00:26:26,000
every game and we're playing
really.

515
00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:29,240
It's hard to do that.
And it's like Seahawks have been

516
00:26:29,240 --> 00:26:31,080
comfortable at home.
It's like now they're gonna have

517
00:26:31,080 --> 00:26:33,360
to travel.
It's like some of that stuff is

518
00:26:33,360 --> 00:26:36,160
like, I wish they would have
like for the Patriots to go into

519
00:26:36,160 --> 00:26:37,800
Denver and play well, that's
like, great, they can go

520
00:26:37,800 --> 00:26:40,000
somewhere else and play good,
you know what I mean?

521
00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:42,520
So we'll, we'll see.
We'll see what happens.

522
00:26:42,720 --> 00:26:50,920
Sony score predictions.
Let's see, man, Patriots offense

523
00:26:50,920 --> 00:26:53,760
has not looked super great as of
late.

524
00:26:53,760 --> 00:26:56,640
They have some, you know,
weather concerns that won't be

525
00:26:56,640 --> 00:27:00,600
there in the Super Bowl.
So maybe like, I don't know what

526
00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:08,400
2824 Patriots beat the see, I
know it's been so low scoring, I

527
00:27:08,400 --> 00:27:11,560
feel like on the AFC side.
Yeah, I was thinking about maybe

528
00:27:13,160 --> 00:27:18,440
2114 or maybe 2417 or something
like that.

529
00:27:18,760 --> 00:27:22,760
Probably get some field goals
kicked by both sides.

530
00:27:23,520 --> 00:27:26,720
I I, I think it's going to be an
interesting game.

531
00:27:26,720 --> 00:27:27,880
I don't think it'll be a.
Blowout.

532
00:27:27,920 --> 00:27:30,320
Yeah, yeah, I think, I think it
tends towards that too.

533
00:27:32,080 --> 00:27:34,080
Yeah.
I hope it's a good game, we'll

534
00:27:34,080 --> 00:27:35,520
say.
I just hope Sam Darnold doesn't

535
00:27:35,520 --> 00:27:38,000
like Fall apart because he's
played so good.

536
00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:39,600
You don't want.
You don't want him to go there

537
00:27:39,600 --> 00:27:43,640
and see J Stroud.
Don't pull CJ Stroud.

538
00:27:43,640 --> 00:27:45,920
Don't pull CJ.
Don't pull, Stidham.

539
00:27:46,480 --> 00:27:50,040
Don't pull, you know.
I'd like to see a backward

540
00:27:50,040 --> 00:27:53,680
shuttle pass of the football to
no one with two Patriot

541
00:27:53,680 --> 00:27:56,280
defenders there.
I mean, if we could, if we could

542
00:27:56,280 --> 00:27:57,960
get that, I would.
That'd be fun, yes.

543
00:27:57,960 --> 00:28:01,720
Stidham Stroud, who did the
Patriots play in the first

544
00:28:01,720 --> 00:28:04,880
round?
Totally blank.

545
00:28:04,880 --> 00:28:08,640
I do know I just had to had to
rewind it the chargers.

546
00:28:08,960 --> 00:28:11,800
The Chargers.
Oh, so Herbert yeah, yeah.

547
00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:16,280
With one armed, 1 armed Herbert,
It's like, you know, was his.

548
00:28:16,280 --> 00:28:18,840
Left arm injured.
I I don't think it was like

549
00:28:18,840 --> 00:28:20,280
dramatic.
I think it's wearing a cast, but

550
00:28:20,280 --> 00:28:21,200
I don't think, I don't think a
cast.

551
00:28:21,680 --> 00:28:23,560
Maybe, yeah, maybe he made this
up well.

552
00:28:24,240 --> 00:28:28,080
I I mean, maybe I I pay
attention but I I don't pay.

553
00:28:28,480 --> 00:28:30,520
I think he had like, not on his
throwing hand, obviously, but

554
00:28:30,560 --> 00:28:33,400
like a small fracture in the
wrist or something.

555
00:28:33,400 --> 00:28:35,120
Yeah.
So we'll see.

556
00:28:35,120 --> 00:28:37,760
Because Sam Darnold played so
bad in his.

557
00:28:38,040 --> 00:28:40,000
He played so good for the
Vikings and then that playoff

558
00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:43,880
game like total meltdown.
Some reporter asked him about

559
00:28:43,880 --> 00:28:46,240
seeing ghosts because, you know,
he made that comment.

560
00:28:46,400 --> 00:28:48,800
What was it four or five years
ago when he said?

561
00:28:48,800 --> 00:28:51,440
That.
When he's playing the Pats.

562
00:28:51,640 --> 00:28:53,880
We see and we shouldn't throw it
in his face.

563
00:28:53,880 --> 00:28:58,360
We, I wish more, more athletes
would speak in like those terms,

564
00:28:58,360 --> 00:29:00,560
but now that no one ever, it's
like you say that you're going

565
00:29:00,560 --> 00:29:01,400
to get punished.
Right.

566
00:29:01,400 --> 00:29:03,520
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And he was saying it to himself.

567
00:29:03,600 --> 00:29:05,800
Yeah, yeah, It was like.
He was up at a press conference.

568
00:29:05,800 --> 00:29:07,800
Like man, I was seeing ghost.
He's like just kind of like

569
00:29:07,800 --> 00:29:10,200
talking to himself, like kind of
like, man, you're seeing ghosts.

570
00:29:10,200 --> 00:29:14,280
Like let's shake it up, like
let's get your head in the game.

571
00:29:14,280 --> 00:29:16,360
I just.
I don't trust Sam Donald at all.

572
00:29:16,400 --> 00:29:18,280
I have no confidence in him.
I have confidence in the

573
00:29:18,280 --> 00:29:21,800
Seahawks.
But Sam Darnold, he's played

574
00:29:21,800 --> 00:29:23,560
really good lately.
But when I think of him, I just

575
00:29:23,560 --> 00:29:26,960
think of a bad quarterback for.
Well, he got the Vikings GM

576
00:29:26,960 --> 00:29:30,360
fired.
There's lots, there's lots of

577
00:29:30,360 --> 00:29:32,760
people getting fired this year.
That's it's.

578
00:29:33,040 --> 00:29:35,760
I wonder if it's a record We
probably should ask.

579
00:29:36,480 --> 00:29:39,240
Yeah, it's, it's interesting.
Man, I was so bummed.

580
00:29:39,240 --> 00:29:41,360
Yeah, the Steelers got rid of
their special teams.

581
00:29:41,360 --> 00:29:43,440
Coach, You should look up this
guy.

582
00:29:43,440 --> 00:29:45,200
He chews so much gum.
Have you?

583
00:29:45,240 --> 00:29:46,200
I I.
I've.

584
00:29:46,200 --> 00:29:48,000
Seen that he's great.
Yeah, yeah.

585
00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:50,840
It's like second to Pete Carroll
only.

586
00:29:51,440 --> 00:29:53,480
Yeah, it's it's so good.
I think he got a job with

587
00:29:53,480 --> 00:29:56,280
Atlanta, but you know, going
strong.

588
00:29:56,280 --> 00:29:58,200
He's like in his mid 70s.
I don't know at what time you

589
00:29:58,200 --> 00:30:01,440
need to like.
Yeah, that's like that guy Ernie

590
00:30:01,440 --> 00:30:03,920
for the Pats.
He retired eventually, but he's

591
00:30:03,920 --> 00:30:10,600
the one that would watch all
that film that was illegally

592
00:30:10,600 --> 00:30:15,760
procured and draw up plays like
he's he's the one that drew up

593
00:30:15,840 --> 00:30:19,440
and made sure that we we
practiced that play because the

594
00:30:19,440 --> 00:30:21,920
Seahawks had done it a couple
times where they had the two

595
00:30:21,920 --> 00:30:26,360
guys and the outside guy, you
know, goes in and the inside guy

596
00:30:26,360 --> 00:30:29,600
kind of comes out.
And that's been successful.

597
00:30:29,600 --> 00:30:31,720
And that was the one that
Malcolm intercepted on.

598
00:30:31,720 --> 00:30:35,920
Which is so weird because it's
like, I think, and I know

599
00:30:35,920 --> 00:30:37,440
nothing about football, that's
probably why.

600
00:30:37,440 --> 00:30:40,880
But like, everyone I knew in my
life was just like, should have

601
00:30:40,880 --> 00:30:42,760
handed off Marshall Lynch.
Seems like he's done pretty

602
00:30:42,760 --> 00:30:45,400
good.
I can't remember, have we talked

603
00:30:45,400 --> 00:30:46,800
about this?
I don't know, maybe we.

604
00:30:46,800 --> 00:30:48,600
Have on the.
Probably I have.

605
00:30:48,600 --> 00:30:51,080
No, I can't.
Remember, well, pardon us, you,

606
00:30:51,160 --> 00:30:55,400
you turn it off if if you, if
you heard, but I heard one of

607
00:30:55,400 --> 00:30:59,840
the Pats lineman's, I think it
was the former left tackle back

608
00:30:59,840 --> 00:31:02,160
when I can't remember his name
right now.

609
00:31:02,520 --> 00:31:05,040
I should know it.
But back in the Brady era, the

610
00:31:05,040 --> 00:31:09,120
left hacker for that.
And he was saying, I think it

611
00:31:09,120 --> 00:31:13,560
was him that was saying his
theory is that whoever like the

612
00:31:13,560 --> 00:31:17,040
biggest thing that happens after
the Super Bowl is the MVP

613
00:31:17,040 --> 00:31:19,640
ceremony.
And if you're an offensive

614
00:31:19,640 --> 00:31:21,880
coordinator, you want your
quarterback getting that.

615
00:31:22,360 --> 00:31:25,400
And so he's like, I think he's
like, in the past, we didn't do

616
00:31:25,400 --> 00:31:26,880
that.
You know, you'd see us pass,

617
00:31:26,880 --> 00:31:28,200
pass and then we get the goal
line.

618
00:31:28,200 --> 00:31:34,160
We run, we run like, you know,
Michelle or James White or

619
00:31:34,160 --> 00:31:40,720
someone's running that in and
he's like, you know, hands down

620
00:31:41,040 --> 00:31:44,720
that they called that play
'cause they want Russell Wilson

621
00:31:44,720 --> 00:31:47,600
to get the MVP, not March.
On the Oh, what you saying for

622
00:31:47,600 --> 00:31:50,000
the Super Bowl?
Yeah, 'cause if if you hand that

623
00:31:50,000 --> 00:31:54,360
off and he scores, that's a big
moment right at the end that

624
00:31:54,360 --> 00:31:56,480
secures the game.
He's the MVP.

625
00:31:56,640 --> 00:31:58,320
'Cause he's pretty.
He was pretty unstoppable all

626
00:31:58,320 --> 00:31:59,320
season.
It's like.

627
00:31:59,920 --> 00:32:01,160
I don't think Pete Carroll liked
him.

628
00:32:01,600 --> 00:32:04,920
Maybe, maybe not.
I could see him being a wild

629
00:32:04,920 --> 00:32:07,080
card a little bit like
personality wise, but man, he

630
00:32:07,080 --> 00:32:08,880
can run the ball.
And they said the same thing

631
00:32:08,880 --> 00:32:15,480
about when we played the Falcons
in 51, you know?

632
00:32:15,520 --> 00:32:17,680
Yeah, it's like simple if you
just run the ball you like, win

633
00:32:17,680 --> 00:32:18,840
the game.
It's easy as that.

634
00:32:19,040 --> 00:32:22,680
Like literally it's like so.
And I'm not an opposite

635
00:32:22,680 --> 00:32:25,360
coordinator, but it's like, why
are we like doing weird?

636
00:32:25,360 --> 00:32:28,560
Why are we like taking sacks out
of field goal range like when we

637
00:32:28,560 --> 00:32:30,680
could just knee it like it seems
common sense that's.

638
00:32:30,680 --> 00:32:33,280
What I was going to talk about,
like that sack that took them

639
00:32:33,280 --> 00:32:36,080
out of field goal range, you
don't range, you don't have that

640
00:32:36,080 --> 00:32:38,240
if you've just run the ball,
like you at least get a field

641
00:32:38,240 --> 00:32:41,200
goal and you win the game.
Yeah, that's if I won't

642
00:32:41,200 --> 00:32:43,240
understand because I know it's a
lot harder in the game, but it

643
00:32:43,240 --> 00:32:47,560
just seems like man basics.
Well, there's the game, and then

644
00:32:47,560 --> 00:32:49,080
there's the game within the
game.

645
00:32:49,080 --> 00:32:52,800
Like who gets the award, who
gets the bonuses, what happens?

646
00:32:52,800 --> 00:32:55,280
And sometimes if you're focused
on that, you lose the other

647
00:32:55,280 --> 00:32:58,640
game.
Yeah, it is crazy, man.

648
00:32:58,720 --> 00:33:01,400
So all I have to say, I don't
trust Sam Darnold doing

649
00:33:01,400 --> 00:33:03,600
something terrible.
It's just like just do the easy

650
00:33:03,600 --> 00:33:04,960
thing.
And I think Drake's been a

651
00:33:04,960 --> 00:33:07,720
little bit shaken, like it's his
first time here.

652
00:33:09,640 --> 00:33:11,360
So I, I, I wouldn't be
surprised.

653
00:33:11,680 --> 00:33:15,520
I think Vrabel has
overemphasized ball security

654
00:33:15,920 --> 00:33:18,600
'cause like, there's a clip
where Vrabel and Josh McDaniels

655
00:33:18,600 --> 00:33:22,560
are talking to Drake in the
Broncos game.

656
00:33:23,120 --> 00:33:25,600
And Josh is like, you got to
trust yourself.

657
00:33:25,600 --> 00:33:27,400
Like, you got to see it and hit
it.

658
00:33:27,520 --> 00:33:30,760
And Vrabel's like, yeah, yeah,
you're doing great.

659
00:33:30,760 --> 00:33:32,320
Just ball security.
And he's like.

660
00:33:32,760 --> 00:33:34,520
Yeah.
It's like you got the the two

661
00:33:34,520 --> 00:33:38,760
people on each shoulder.
Yeah, quarterback has to do both

662
00:33:38,760 --> 00:33:39,880
of those.
He has to.

663
00:33:39,920 --> 00:33:41,680
See it and trust it and have
ball.

664
00:33:41,680 --> 00:33:47,360
Security position because like,
it seems like, yeah, people are

665
00:33:47,360 --> 00:33:51,000
open a lot, but you got to be
looking for it's like, but then

666
00:33:51,040 --> 00:33:52,360
you know what I mean?
It's like you're going to be

667
00:33:52,360 --> 00:33:53,480
looking at the right people at
the right time.

668
00:33:53,480 --> 00:33:55,680
It is.
Tough, yeah, because it's it's

669
00:33:55,680 --> 00:33:58,960
easy for us to look back at film
and go this guy's wide open.

670
00:33:59,040 --> 00:34:01,960
But you're trained that play is
developing.

671
00:34:02,400 --> 00:34:05,600
And so you're looking for you.
You expect this person to be

672
00:34:05,600 --> 00:34:07,240
open first, and then this person
is.

673
00:34:07,240 --> 00:34:09,280
So let's talk about your check
downs.

674
00:34:09,840 --> 00:34:12,040
And a good quarterback is going
to see someone come open.

675
00:34:12,040 --> 00:34:15,199
Your best ones will.
But it's not it's it's I I'd

676
00:34:15,199 --> 00:34:17,639
laugh at all the people on
Twitter or whatever.

677
00:34:17,639 --> 00:34:19,840
You know, this guy was wide
open.

678
00:34:19,840 --> 00:34:22,040
Yeah.
But he had a lineman in his face

679
00:34:22,040 --> 00:34:23,760
running at him.
And you know, he's trying to,

680
00:34:23,760 --> 00:34:25,480
you know.
It is crazy.

681
00:34:25,480 --> 00:34:29,120
Well, we'll see what happens in
the Super Bowl, and yeah.

682
00:34:29,400 --> 00:34:30,520
You know, if you're listening to
us.

683
00:34:30,639 --> 00:34:31,960
You know.
That's right.

684
00:34:31,960 --> 00:34:33,960
Yeah, that's crazy.
Oh, all right.

685
00:34:34,639 --> 00:34:36,360
Anything else you got?
That's it.

686
00:34:36,880 --> 00:34:40,360
That's our take.
