Accomplished?

Does it really matter whether it

was early or late?

•Could impact Credibility of the Bible

• Difficult to Correlate events in the

Conquest with events in the Region

•Late Date may not allow enough time

for events in the time of Joshua.

Battles On

The Way

From Egypt

Numbers 14:45 Then the Amalekites and the

Canaanites who lived in that hill country came

down and attacked them and beat them down all

Numbers 21:21-31 – Defeat of Sihon, King of the Amorites

Numbers 21:33-35 – Defeat of Og, King of Bashan

Vengeance on

the Midianites

(Numbers 31)

Why? What had the Midianites done?

Numbers 25 – vs. 1 Sexual Immorality with

Midianite women living in Moab

-vs. 3 Israel joined in worshiping Baal Peor

-Vs. 16 – Treat them as enemies and kill them

Why? What had the Midianites done?

Numbers 25 – vs. 1 Sexual Immorality with

Midianite women living in Moab

-vs. 3 Israel joined in worshiping Baal Peor

-Vs. 16 – Treat them as enemies and kill them

The Canaanite Storm god ―Baal‖

In many cases associated with specific localities, hence,

―Baal Peor‖

Who was killed when Israel took vengeance?

Evi, Rekem, Zur, Hur and Reba—the five kings of

Midian. They also killed Balaam son of Beor with

the sword. (Numbers 31:8)

Ai

Gen 12:6-8 6. Abram traveled through the

land as far as the site of the great tree of

Moreh at Shechem... So he built an altar there

to the LORD, who had appeared to him.

8. From there he went on toward the hills east

of Bethel and pitched his tent, with Bethel on

the west and Ai on the east. There he built an

altar to the LORD and called on the name of the

LORD.

We’ve heard of ―Ai‖ before. Do you

remember where?

altar to the LORD and called on the name of

the LORD.

An alternative proposal is that the Bible's chronology

of events is accurate, and the Biblical Ai is not to be

located at et-Tell, but a different site entirely. Dr.

Bryant Wood has proposed that Ai should instead be

located at the site of Kirbet el-Maqatir arguing that the

evidence for this site being Ai is stronger than at et-

Tell.[1] David Livingstone has also suggested Khirbet

Nisya as another possible location for Ai.
