THE NINE TRIBES AND A HALF TO HAVE THEIR INHERITANCE BY LOT. (Jos 14:1-5)
these are the countries which the children of Israel inherited in the land of Canaan--This chapter forms the introduction to an account of the allocation of the land west of Jordan, or Canaan proper, to the nine tribes and a half. It was also made by lot in presence of a select number of superintendents, appointed according to divine directions given to Moses (see on Num 34:16). In everything pertaining to civil government, and even the division of the land, Joshua was the acknowledged chief. But in a matter to be determined by lot, a solemn appeal was made to God, and hence Eleazar, as high priest, is named before Joshua. |
| Commentary on the Old Testament, by Carl Friedrich Keil and Franz Delitzsch [1857-78] |
| Jos 14:1-5 form the heading and introduction to the account of the division of the land among the nine tribes and a half, which reaches to Josh 19, and is brought to a close by the concluding formula in Jos 19:51. The division of the land of Canaan according to the boundaries laid down in Num 34:2-12 was carried out, in accordance with the instructions in Num 34:16-29, by the high priest Eleazar, Joshua, and ten heads of fathers' houses of the nine tribes and a half, whose names are given in Num 34:18-28. "By the lot of their inheritance," i.e., by casting lots for it: this is dependent upon the previous clause, "which they distributed for inheritance to them." "As the Lord commanded through Moses" (Num 26:52-56; Num 33:54, and Num 34:13), "to the nine tribes and a half" (this is also dependent upon the clause "which they distributed for inheritance"). |
| Explanatory Notes on the Whole Bible, by John Wesley [1754-65] |
| Eleazar the priest - He best understood the laws of God by which this division was to be regulated. Heads of the fathers - Twelve persons, each the head of his tribe, who were appointed and named by God, Num 34:19, and if any of them were now dead, no doubt Joshua and Eleazar, by God's direction, put others in their stead. |
| Adam Clarke Commentary on the Whole Bible - Published 1810-1826 |
| Eleazar the priest, etc. - Eleazar, as being the minister of God in sacred things is mentioned first. Joshua, as having the supreme command in all things civil, is mentioned next. And the Heads or Princes of the twelve tribes, who in all things acted under Joshua, are mentioned last. These heads or princes were twelve, Joshua and Eleazar included; and the reader may find their names in Num 34:19-28. It is worthy of remark that no prince was taken from the tribes of Reuben and Gad, because these had already received their inheritance on the other side of Jordan, and therefore could not be interested in this division. |
16 And the LORD [03068] spake [01696] unto Moses [04872], saying [0559],
1 And these are the countries which the children [01121] of Israel [03478] inherited [05157] in the land [0776] of Canaan [03667], which Eleazar [0499] the priest [03548], and Joshua [03091] the son [01121] of Nun [05126], and the heads [07218] of the fathers [01] of the tribes [04294] of the children [01121] of Israel [03478], distributed for inheritance [05157] to them.
2 By lot [01486] was their inheritance [05159], as the LORD [03068] commanded [06680] by the hand [03027] of Moses [04872], for the nine [08672] tribes [04294], and for the half [02677] tribe [04294].
3 For Moses [04872] had given [05414] the inheritance [05159] of two [08147] tribes [04294] and an half [02677] tribe [04294] on the other side [05676] Jordan [03383]: but unto the Levites [03881] he gave [05414] none inheritance [05159] among [08432] them.
4 For the children [01121] of Joseph [03130] were two [08147] tribes [04294], Manasseh [04519] and Ephraim [0669]: therefore they gave [05414] no part [02506] unto the Levites [03881] in the land [0776], save cities [05892] to dwell [03427] in, with their suburbs [04054] for their cattle [04735] and for their substance [07075].
5 As the LORD [03068] commanded [06680] Moses [04872], so the children [01121] of Israel [03478] did [06213], and they divided [02505] the land [0776].
13 And Moses [04872] commanded [06680] the children [01121] of Israel [03478], saying [0559], This is the land [0776] which ye shall inherit [05157] by lot [01486], which the LORD [03068] commanded [06680] to give [05414] unto the nine [08672] tribes [04294], and to the half [02677] tribe [04294]:
54 And ye shall divide [05157] the land [0776] by lot [01486] for an inheritance [05157] among your families [04940]: and to the more [07227] ye shall give the more [07235] inheritance [05159], and to the fewer [04592] ye shall give the less [04591] inheritance [05159]: every man's inheritance shall be in the place where his lot [01486] falleth [03318]; according to the tribes [04294] of your fathers [01] ye shall inherit [05157].
52 And the LORD [03068] spake [01696] unto Moses [04872], saying [0559],
53 Unto these the land [0776] shall be divided [02505] for an inheritance [05159] according to the number [04557] of names [08034].
54 To many [07227] thou shalt give the more [07235] inheritance [05159], and to few [04592] thou shalt give the less [04591] inheritance [05159]: to every one [0376] shall his inheritance [05159] be given [05414] according [06310] to those that were numbered [06485] of him.
55 Notwithstanding the land [0776] shall be divided [02505] by lot [01486]: according to the names [08034] of the tribes [04294] of their fathers [01] they shall inherit [05157].
56 According [06310] to the lot [01486] shall the possession [05159] thereof be divided [02505] between many [07227] and few [04592].
18 And ye shall take [03947] one [0259] prince [05387] of every tribe [04294], to divide [05157] the land [0776] by inheritance [05157].

2 Command [06680] the children [01121] of Israel [03478], and say [0559] unto them, When ye come [0935] into the land [0776] of Canaan [03667]; (this is the land [0776] that shall fall [05307] unto you for an inheritance [05159], even the land [0776] of Canaan [03667] with the coasts [01367] thereof:)
3 Then your south [05045] quarter [06285] shall be from the wilderness [04057] of Zin [06790] along by the coast [03027] of Edom [0123], and your south [05045] border [01366] shall be the outmost coast [07097] of the salt [04417] sea [03220] eastward [06924]:
4 And your border [01366] shall turn [05437] from the south [05045] to the ascent [04608] of Akrabbim [04610], and pass on [05674] to Zin [06790]: and the going forth [08444] thereof shall be from the south [05045] to Kadeshbarnea [06947], and shall go on [03318] to Hazaraddar [02692], and pass on [05674] to Azmon [06111]:
5 And the border [01366] shall fetch a compass [05437] from Azmon [06111] unto the river [05158] of Egypt [04714], and the goings out [08444] of it shall be at the sea [03220].
6 And as for the western [03220] border [01366], ye shall even have the great [01419] sea [03220] for a border [01366]: this shall be your west [03220] border [01366].
7 And this shall be your north [06828] border [01366]: from the great [01419] sea [03220] ye shall point out [08376] for you mount [02022] Hor [02023]:
8 From mount [02022] Hor [02023] ye shall point out [08376] your border unto the entrance [0935] of Hamath [02574]; and the goings forth [08444] of the border [01366] shall be to Zedad [06657]:
9 And the border [01366] shall go on [03318] to Ziphron [02202], and the goings out [08444] of it shall be at Hazarenan [02704]: this shall be your north [06828] border [01366].
10 And ye shall point out [0184] your east [06924] border [01366] from Hazarenan [02704] to Shepham [08221]:
11 And the coast [01366] shall go down [03381] from Shepham [08221] to Riblah [07247], on the east side [06924] of Ain [05871]; and the border [01366] shall descend [03381], and shall reach [04229] unto the side [03802] of the sea [03220] of Chinnereth [03672] eastward [06924]:
12 And the border [01366] shall go down [03381] to Jordan [03383], and the goings out [08444] of it shall be at the salt [04417] sea [03220]: this shall be your land [0776] with the coasts [01367] thereof round about [05439].
51 These are the inheritances [05159], which Eleazar [0499] the priest [03548], and Joshua [03091] the son [01121] of Nun [05126], and the heads [07218] of the fathers [01] of the tribes [04294] of the children [01121] of Israel [03478], divided for an inheritance [05157] by lot [01486] in Shiloh [07887] before [06440] the LORD [03068], at the door [06607] of the tabernacle [0168] of the congregation [04150]. So they made an end [03615] of dividing [02505] the country [0776].
1 And these are the countries which the children [01121] of Israel [03478] inherited [05157] in the land [0776] of Canaan [03667], which Eleazar [0499] the priest [03548], and Joshua [03091] the son [01121] of Nun [05126], and the heads [07218] of the fathers [01] of the tribes [04294] of the children [01121] of Israel [03478], distributed for inheritance [05157] to them.
2 By lot [01486] was their inheritance [05159], as the LORD [03068] commanded [06680] by the hand [03027] of Moses [04872], for the nine [08672] tribes [04294], and for the half [02677] tribe [04294].
3 For Moses [04872] had given [05414] the inheritance [05159] of two [08147] tribes [04294] and an half [02677] tribe [04294] on the other side [05676] Jordan [03383]: but unto the Levites [03881] he gave [05414] none inheritance [05159] among [08432] them.
4 For the children [01121] of Joseph [03130] were two [08147] tribes [04294], Manasseh [04519] and Ephraim [0669]: therefore they gave [05414] no part [02506] unto the Levites [03881] in the land [0776], save cities [05892] to dwell [03427] in, with their suburbs [04054] for their cattle [04735] and for their substance [07075].
5 As the LORD [03068] commanded [06680] Moses [04872], so the children [01121] of Israel [03478] did [06213], and they divided [02505] the land [0776].
