Josué 11:23

23 Tomó, pues, Josué toda la tierra de acuerdo con todo lo que el SEÑOR había dicho a Moisés. Y Josué la dio por heredad a Israel conforme a sus divisiones por sus tribus. Y la tierra descansó de la guerra.

Josué 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.

Josué 11:23 In-Context

21 Y por aquel tiempo Josué fue y destruyó a los anaceos de la región montañosa, de Hebrón, de Debir, de Anab, de toda la región montañosa de Judá y de toda la región montañosa de Israel. Josué los destruyó por completo con sus ciudades.

22 No quedaron anaceos en la tierra de los hijos de Israel; sólo quedaron algunos en Gaza, en Gat y en Asdod.

23 Tomó, pues, Josué toda la tierra de acuerdo con todo lo que el SEÑOR había dicho a Moisés. Y Josué la dio por heredad a Israel conforme a sus divisiones por sus tribus. Y la tierra descansó de la guerra.
