⭐ Joshua 15

Joshua 15 is a real chapter from the Old Testament. It starts, “The lot for the tribe of the children of Judah according to their families was to the border of Edom, even to the wilderness of Zin southward, at the uttermost part of the south.” That is not a motto invented for a poster. It is the first sentence a family hears when this page is opened at night.

Keep going a little further. The chapter also says, “Lebaoth, Shilhim, Ain, and Rimmon. All the cities are twenty-nine, with their villages.” Joshua 15 opens with these words: “The lot for the tribe of the children of Judah according to their families was to the border of Edom, even to the wilderness of Zin…” The line to keep is Joshua 15:1: “The lot for the tribe of the children of Judah according to their families was to the border of Edom, even to the wilderness of Zin southward, at the…” Carry the word “tribe” from that verse into the rest of the day.

The line worth learning out loud is Joshua 15:1: “The lot for the tribe of the children of Judah according to their families was to the border of Edom, even to the wilderness of Zin southward, at the uttermost part of the south.” If the rest of the chapter feels crowded, hold that one sentence until the room is quiet.

What happens first in Joshua 15? Then try this: Read “The lot for the tribe of the children of Judah according to their families was to the border of Edom, even…” once more. What does it show you about God? You do not have to finish every verse. You can close the book after the memory verse and still have read the Bible together.
