The reading for Sunday, February 26, 2023 , is Deuteronomy 32 - Joshua 2
When Moses blesses the tribes, Simeon isn't mentioned. That seems odd to me.
They mourned for Moses' 30 days. Here we seem to focus on getting back to work as quickly as possible. I think it's unfortunate.
I find it interesting that Joshua sends 2 spies in secret to spy out the land. 40 years earlier, Moses sent 12 spies for the purpose, but that led to Israel wandering in the dessert 40 years. I wonder if Joshua hand picked these 2 men, so as not to have a repeat.
I like Rehab's cleverness in hiding the spies. I also like that the spies returned Rahab's kindness and had her mark her house with a scarlet thread. Come to thing of it, why were the spies able to just hand Rahab a random, but apparently long, piece of scarlet string?
