Joshua 18:11-28 Allotment

 The Territory of Benjamin

11Now the lot (allotment) of the tribe of the sons of Benjamin came up according to their families, and the territory of their lot fell between [the tribes of] the sons of Judah and the sons of Joseph.…….

21Now the cities of the tribe of the sons of Benjamin according to their families were Jericho and Beth-hoglah and Emek-keziz, 22and Beth-arabah and Zemaraim and Bethel, 23and Avvim and Parah and Ophrah, 24and Chephar-ammoni and Ophni and Geba; twelve cities with their villages; 25Gibeon and Ramah and Beeroth, 26and Mizpeh and Chephirah and Mozah, 27and Rekem and Irpeel and Taralah, 28and Zelah, Haeleph and the Jebusite (that is, Jerusalem), Gibeah, Kiriath; fourteen cities with their villages. This is the inheritance of [the tribe of] the sons of Benjamin according to their families (clans).


As I read these verses with the allotment and the cities it kinda seems surreal that the Lord would take them away from one people and give them to another but that’s exactly what He did because of sin and judgement!


The more that sin and evilness increases in the world, the more I look forward to my inheritance, my allotment in Jesus Christ and what He has prepared for us.

Brethren, what will your allotment be?

Blessings
