The latter half of the Book of Joshua records the borders of the land, the cities, and the distribution of the inheritance to each tribe more than it records the wars of conquest. So it can look quieter and more repetitive than the first half. But this Word is not a mere land document; it is a record of salvation that shows how God distributed the inheritance He had promised to His people without omission, and how they were to live within that inheritance.

Joshua Chapter 13 is about identifying the regions not yet conquered after the major wars of conquest in Canaan had ended, and beginning to distribute the land to each tribe of Israel as an inheritance. First, it sets out in detail the fact that Moses had given the land east of the Jordan to the tribe of Reuben, the tribe of Gad, and the half-tribe of Manasseh.

Joshua Chapter 13 is the Word in which, with the war of the conquest of Canaan now past a critical point, God divides the land to the tribes of Israel as an inheritance. Joshua had already fought many wars. He had brought down Jericho, struck Ai, and conquered the kings of the south and of the north. But God spoke to Joshua like this.

Joshua Chapter 14 is the Word in which the children of Israel receive their inheritance divided in the land of Canaan. The land God promised to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob now actually begins to be distributed to the tribes of Israel. This inheritance was not obtained by Israel’s own strength. It is the land God promised, God fought for, and God gave.

Joshua Chapter 15 records in detail the borders and cities of the inheritance received by the tribe of Judah, and introduces the event in which Caleb takes possession of Hebron and the story of Othniel conquering Debir. At the end, it records the fact that the tribe of Judah could not completely drive out the Jebusite inhabitants of Jerusalem.
