Reading for November 3rd

 Read Joshua 15.13-19. In 15.13-19: A land grant for Achsah. In verse 13-15: This parallels the account given in 14.6-15. In verses 17-18: Although Achsah prods her husband to ask for a field, nothing of this sort apparently happens. In verse 19: Instead she herself goes on to request springs of water from he father. because her land is and she calls it land of the Negeb (the Negeb is arid territory). Achsah's story (paralleled in Judg 1.10-15) explains why the Othniel clan controlled both Debr and two springs associated with Hebron. Comments or Questions..
