Sam and Will each drew a map of the locations of the 13 tribes of ancient Israel, based on the first map in the frontpages of __Who Wrote the Bible?__ We discussed the arrival of the tribes from the desert, and mentioned the other peoples (non-Jews) who had settled in the area of Palestine. Also, the boys each practiced the spelling of the 13 tribes by writing lists of the tribes’ names. The Judah, Levi, and Simon tribes were the last to arrive in Palestine, but brought with them a belief in Yahweh, and converted the other tribes.
