Little things

Wow. Those names are challenging-especially when you read them out loud as we did around the supper table. But beyond the names we were intrigued by the details, the little episodes interspersed among all the dividing of land. We wondered why the story of Caleb's daughter making her special request for land was in there. Was it just special provision, or sly dealings, or family competition? I don't know. I imagine there was plenty of competition and jealousy - and greed I suppose. What interesting detail have you noticed?
