1-8
Dividing of the land among the twelve tribes
|
|
|
Different than
the original dividing of the land (one example: the last
is first) — indicates that this should be taken
spiritually rather than literally.
|
|
All twelve
tribes given their portion (ten tribes carried away by
Assyria and the two by Babylon) — accomplished by the
gospel of Jesus Christ.
|
|
Every tribe
had its particular lot — living by grace, the
providence of God.

Jesus said, "Where two or three are
gathered together in my name, there I am in the midst of
them."
|
|
The hearts of the people of the land were
brought together as they came to the city.
|
|

the tribes were shared in common

The "rim of the wheel within the
wheel"

called "Jerusalem" nor is the land ever called
"Canaan"
