11/05/2025 Joshua 24 NKJV: this chapter wraps up the book of Joshua. Joshua had the people gather at Shechem where he compels them to chooses whom they will serve: Jehovah God of their fathers or other gods. He declares, "As for me and my house, we will

10/23/2025 Joshua 15 NKJV: this is the continuation of my daily bible read, one chapter per day, then discuss it with you. This chapter seems to be laying out Judah's inheritance, with a short Caleb interlude. The main thing i got from this chapter is just
