Bride with Benefits

And Caleb said, He that smiteth Kirjath-sepher, and taketh it, to him will I give Achsah my daughter to wife. And Othniel the son of Kenaz, the brother of Caleb, took it: and he gave him Achsah his daughter to wife. And it came to pass, as she came unto him, that she moved him to ask of her father a field: and she lighted off her ass; and Caleb said unto her, What wouldest thou? Who answered, Give me a blessing; for thou hast given me a south land; give me also springs of water. And he gave her the upper springs, and the nether springs.-Joshua 15:16-19***Moses, Caleb, and Joshua were Israelites and only worshiped and believed the Lord God. Moses was from the tribe of Levi, Joshua was from the tribe of Ephraim, and Caleb represented the tribe of Judah. When 10 of the other Israelites secretly surveying Canaan, the Promised Land, came back with a frightening report, Caleb and Joshua spoke of the victory that the Lord God would give the Israelites. During the 40th year after Moses and his older brother Aaron led the Israelites away from Egyptian slavery, across the divinely parted Red Sea, and into the desert wilderness, 123-year-old Aaron died and was buried upon Mount Hor, and Moses went upon Mount Nebo. The Lord God showed Moses the Promised Land, and 120-year-old Moses died and was divinely buried. Joshua, Moses' successor, led the Israelites across the divinely parted Jordan River and onto the land that the Lord God promised to give to Abraham (Abram the Hebrew), and to Abraham's son Isaac, and to Isaac's youngest fraternal twin son Jacob (Israel), and to their descendants. Sometime thereafter, 85-year-old-Caleb requested to be given the land that the Lord God told Moses to give Caleb, land that Caleb had walked upon when Moses sent him, Joshua and the others on the mission. Hebron, Caleb's portion of the land, was previously known as Kirjatharba (Kiriath Arba). To take possession, Caleb had to drive out the descendants of Anak, known to be gigantic. Afterwards, Caleb wanted to drive out the inhabitants living in the nearby city of Kirjath Sepher (Debir). Caleb offered his daughter Acsah (Achsah) in marriage to the man who captured the city. Othniel, a close relative, accomplished the task. Over 1,300 years after Caleb died, and 110-year-old Joshua died and was buried in his tribe's portion of the Promised Land, Jesus the Christ, the Son of God, was born. Jesus was conceived of the Holy Spirit in the womb of Mary, a virgin, and Jesus was born into the tribe of Judah to Mary and her husband Joseph when Mary was a virgin.-Genesis 11:26-50:26, Exodus, Numbers 13:1-14:45, 20:1-29, 27:12-23, Deuteronomy 9:2, 31:1-30, 32:44-52, 34:1-12, Joshua 1:1-4:24, 13:1-15:63, 23:1-24:33, Judges 1:1-3:31, 1 Chronicles 1:1-34, 2:1-55, 4:1-23, 6:1-81, 7:20-29, Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Acts 1:1-26
