(a sign to the people that God is with them) are very important for J (2 Samuel 5,6). I want to emphasize that political and religious systems were very close in that time: J never mentioned Joshua in her passages because he is from Ephraim (Jeroboam is from Ephraim) and in Num.25:1-5 J writes that men from Israel began to indulge in sexual immorality with Moabite women and God said Moses to kill them.

servants gave Jacob twelve sons. The twelve sons formed the twelve tribes of Israel. The twelve tribes sons comprised of, Judah, Benjamin, Reuben, Naphtali, Issachar, Zebulun, Simeon, Dan, Gad, Asher, Ephraim and Manasseh(Young J.E. 108). The northern and southern Kingdoms of Israel came to be, after there was a disagreement among the twelve tribes of Israel. Ten of the twelve tribes formed the Northern Kingdom. Two of the twelve tribes formed the southern Kingdom. The split of the two kingdoms came

Joshua was the son of Nun of the tribe of Ephraim. His name means “the Lord is salvation.” He was born in Egypt around 1530 B.C. He went through the Passover and the Exodus. On the way from the Wilderness of Sin to Horeb, Joshua was given command of the army at Rephidim. The Amalekites were a desert tribe that attacked the Israelites and tried to drive them away.

and Greeks occurred along with the help of Kurdish tribes. Victims were plundered, raped, deported, and massacred horrifically. The Assyrian genocide is treated slightly differently from that of the Armenians as there were no specific orders to attack and deport Assyrians from Ottoman leaders since they were not assisting the Russian Empire and did not desire their own nation state.
