Gideon

Joshua had divided the Israelites into twelve tribes. Each tribe was named after one of Jacob’s sons. They settled in the land of Canaan, each in a different part of the country. Most tribes chose to live in the mountain regions, as the people from Canaan mostly lived in plains. The living conditions of the Israelites were harsh and they often had to face attacks from others: Canaanite, Philistines, and Moabite… Wars and disputes were commonplace and often very violent!

After Joshua’s death, the people felt abandoned and lost, but God sent his judges: they were sort of bosses who only had authority on a few tribes, sometimes even only one. They tried to keep the Hebrews in God’s love and to protect the Ark of the Covenant. Indeed, with each war, the enemy tries to steal the Ark as it represents the heart of the faith of the Israelites. The Tables of the Law protect the people as they represent the living presence of God on earth.
