Reading for October 13th

Read Joshua 11.16-23
In 10.16-23: Culmination of the conquest.
In verse 16: The description parallels 10.40.
In verse 17: A line of territorial extent reaches from Mount Halak in the south on the border with Edom to Baal-gad somewhere near Mount Hermon on Israel's north (12.7; 13.5-6).
In verse 20: The stubborn hostility and incessant attacks of the enemy were the Lord's doing, part of a divine plan to wipe them out.
In verse 21-22: In Israelite folklore, the Anakim were ancient indigenous race of unusual statue.
In verse 23: The Lord has kept the promise made in 1.3-5, and Joshua has completed the task assigned in 1.6.
With the words the land had rest from war, the conquest draws to a close.
