About this episode

# 140 - The Levite's Horror - In this episode of The Chosen People with Yael Eckstein, we confront one of the darkest chapters in Israel’s history—a tale of betrayal, violence, and heartbreaking silence. As a nation drifts from God’s ways, the value of human life is lost, and the cry for justice echoes into eternity.

Episode 140 of The Chosen People with Yael Eckstein is inspired by the Book of Joshua.
