Thought for Today: Monday July 25:

May YHVH be exalted in your life today! May He surround you with fresh mercies and fiery faith and may His Divine Wisdom guard and guide you. May you refuse to dabble in things that make you vulnerable to the enemy’s schemes. May you instead shore up your life, guard your heart and walk in faith. You have a great call on your life and Adonai Elohim is Mighty in you and through you.

Shalom! Make sure to take a look at the Torah portion that is available on our website and phone app. www.triumphintruth.global/torah

When she came to him, she urged him to ask her father for a field. And she got off her donkey, and Caleb said to her, “What do you want?” She said to him, “Give me a blessing. Since you have given me the land of the Negeb, give me also springs of water.” And he gave her the upper springs and the lower springs.
Joshua 15:18-19

More extensive negotiations between Caleb and Othniel are hinted at in v18, but skipped over. It begins with Achsah urging her new husband to ask her father for land and ends with the land already having been given. Clearly Caleb cared about his daughter very much. She asked for an additional blessing from her father so that she could take full advantage of what he had already given her, and he gave her twice as much as she asked.

And Caleb said, “Whoever strikes Kiriath-sepher and captures it, to him will I give Achsah my daughter as wife.” And Othniel the son of Kenaz, the brother of Caleb, captured it. And he gave him Achsah his daughter as wife.
Joshua 15:16-17 

All of Scripture assumes the right of a father to choose his daughter's husband. In practice, a wise and loving father works with his daughter. It seems likely to me that Caleb, Achsah, and Othniel probably negotiated all of this privately before it was announced so that he would be positioned to take advantage of the offer before anyone else.

Caleb's Daughter in Joshua 15

Caleb, a man who had just been rewarded for his lifelong faithfulness to the ways of God, pledged his daughter Achsah to whomever could conquer the city of Kiriath-Sefer. Does that offend you? For mor

The land that YHWH struck down before the congregation of Israel is a land for livestock, and your servants have livestock.
Numbers 32:4

This says that God struck the land of the Canaanites, but the land remained pleasant and fertile. He owns the cattle and the hills beneath them. Use his resources wisely, because he can turn even your wealth against you.

The destiny of a people is tied to their land. God struck the land of the Canaanites because of their sin and they died. He blessed the land of Israel (the same land!) and the Israelites prospered.
