Joshua 14:3
"by the lot of their inheritance, as the LORD commanded by Moses, for the nine tribes, and for the half-tribe."
Key Reflection
By the time Joshua 14:3 was spoken, the Israelites had already received their inheritance by lot as Moses had commanded. This method of distribution, likely carried out after Moses's death and under Joshua’s leadership, ensured that the land would be apportioned according to divine instruction, specifically for nine full tribes and one half-tribe, reflecting a detailed plan intended to maintain tribal distinctions and allocate resources fairly among the people of Israel.
