Joshua 14:6

"The children of Israel did as the LORD commanded Moses, and they divided the land."

Key Reflection

This verse symbolizes the faithful obedience of the Israelites to God's will, illustrating how following divine instructions leads to the fulfillment of His promises. It also foreshadows the importance of dividing the Promised Land as a tangible expression of obedience and preparation for the covenant community’s future in that land.

From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

The children of Judah -No doubt, in particular, the kinsmen of Caleb, and perhaps other leading men of the tribe. These came before Joshua, with Caleb, in order to make it manifest that they supported his claim, to be secured in the possessions promised him by Moses before the general allotment should be made to the tribes (compare the marginal references).
