The Lord leads Israel in conquering the land and judging its wicked inhabitants, and then he distributes the land among the twelve tribes.

Biblical Parallels Are All That Is Needed Weather has shaped this story into a Christian novel by giving Biblical parallels and giving another way to look into the eyes of the Joad’s and the migrants. Even in Biblical times weather has helped humanity by giving us a new start: Noah’s Ark or by leading us into something new that we will never be able to find: The Israelites wandering in The Desert for Forty Years. In The Grapes of Wrath, by John Steinbeck, the reader rationalizes that Steinbeck hints that the novel is fundamentally Christian by using Biblical parallels: The Israelites in the Desert, Noah’s Ark, and God watching over them.

Micah 1:2-9 is an important prophetic message because it is direct in speaking about how God (the Lord) has judged the people for the sins that have been committed day after day. In one of the learning resources within the Access Bible, it talks about how Micah starts like a lot of the other prophetic books. How? It is common for these books to focus first on the elite ruling at the time and how they “throw nature into a disarray”. Today, disarray means unorganized or untidiness, however, I feel in this context it is talking about a lack of relationship with God and that can turn to an unorganized chaos (Dictionary.com). This portion of the book, deals with why and what God is casting judgement onto the people in Samaria and Jerusalem.
He had no time to marry or look for love, but rather think about his freedom ("The Integrate", para. 14). There’s a battle to go through due to him being a slave. It came upon on him that there will be fear, difficulties, and a hard crossover to get to his journey ("The Integrate", para. 15). But, one day while Josh was at work a voice gave him courage to follow ("The Integrate", para. 15). Josh successfully ran away without any approval from anyone.
I would first start off with a passage from Joshua. This Book of Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do according to all that is written in it.

When will I be able to read?
The Book of Numbers – in Hebrew, Bəmidbar, meaning “in the wilderness [of Sinai]” – describes the the Israelites’ long journey in the desert to take possession of God’s promised land. The Jewish Study Bible divides Numbers into three major units based on “geographical criteria” and “ideological motifs”. The first unit spans from Numbers 1.1 to 10.10 and details the Israelites’ encampment at Mount Sinai and their preparation for the long journey. The second unit picks up this narrative and describes the generation‐long march in the desert from Sinai to Moab. The final unit, starting with Numbers 22.2, narrates the encampment on the plains of Moab before entering the promised land of Canaan.
