Scriptural Texts
Joshua 1810 1949-51 2429-30 (NLT)
2- There at Shiloh, Joshua cast sacred lots in the
presence of the Lord to determine which tribe
should have each section. - After all the land was divided among the tribes,
the Israelites gave a special piece of land to
Joshua as his inheritance.
3- For the Lord had said he could have any town he
wanted. He chose Timnath-serah in the hill
country of Ephraim. He rebuilt the town and
lived there.
451 These are the territories that Eleazer the
priest, Joshua son of Nun, and the tribal leaders
gave as an inheritance to the tribes of Israel by
casting sacred lots in the presence of the Lord
at the entrance of the Tabernacle at Shiloh. So
the division of the land was completed
5- Soon after this, Joshua son of Nun, the servant
of the Lord, died at the age of 110. - They buried him in the land he had inherited, at
Timnath-serah in the hill country of Ephraim,
north of Mount Gaash.
6- Let the church say,
- Amen
- Let the church say,
- Amen
- Let the church say,
- Amen, Amen, Amen!

OF LAND.
THE FATHER GAVE HIS SON JESUS A SPECIAL PIECE OF
LAND nearly 2000 years ago.

PERMANENTLY ASSIGNED TO HIM.
JESUS GOT IT AT CALVARY!

SALVATION ONCE AND FOR ALL!
