Giosué 11:23

23 Giosuè adunque prese tutto il paese, interamente come il Signore avea detto a Mosè, e lo diede in eredità a Israele, secondo i loro spartimenti, a tribù a tribù. E il paese ebbe riposo della guerra.

Giosué 11:23 Meaning and Commentary

Joshua 11:23

So Joshua took the whole land
Of Canaan, the far greater and better part of it, all before described; all that he went against, he failed not in any of his attempts; no place stood out against him that he besieged or summoned, all yielded to him:

according to all that the Lord said unto Moses:
in ( Deuteronomy 11:23-25 ) ;

and Joshua gave it for an inheritance unto Israel, according to their
divisions by their tribes;
as is after related in this book:

and the land rested from war;
there were no combinations of any of the dispersed Canaanites, or insurrections made by them, nor any annoyance given to Israel by the Philistines, who inhabited five principal cities, with what belonged to them; nor did Joshua attempt anything more in a warlike manner: and so it became a land of rest, as the heavenly Canaan will be to the spiritual Israel and church of God, after their militant state is ended, in which they now are; being engaged with many spiritual enemies, the Canaanites that are in the land, but then their warfare will be ended.

Giosué 11:23 In-Context

21 Giosuè ancora, in quel tempo, venne, e distrusse gli Anachiti del monte di Hebron, di Debir, di Anab, e di tutto il monte di Giuda, e di tutto il monte d’Israele. Giosuè li distrusse al modo dell’interdetto, insieme con le lor città.

22 Non restarono alcuni Anachiti nel paese de’ figliuoli d’Israele; sol ne restarono in Gaza, in Gat, e in Asdod.

23 Giosuè adunque prese tutto il paese, interamente come il Signore avea detto a Mosè, e lo diede in eredità a Israele, secondo i loro spartimenti, a tribù a tribù. E il paese ebbe riposo della guerra.
