About Joshua 13: Land Yet to Be Conquered
Joshua divides the remaining land of Canaan among the Israelite tribes.
Commentary
Joshua 13 is a chapter that outlines the remaining land that the Israelites had yet to conquer. It is a reminder of the promise that God had made to Abraham in Genesis 15:18-21, that his descendants would possess the land of Canaan. The chapter begins with a reminder of the land that had already been conquered, and then moves on to the land that remained to be taken.
