Josué 18:5 Meaning and Commentary

Joshua 18:5

And they shall divide it into seven parts
According to the number of the seven tribes not yet settled; and this they were to describe and divide was all the land subdued, or not subdued, only the following excepted:

Judah shall abide in their coast on the south;
on the south of the land of Canaan, where their lot fell, so that needed not to be measured and described; and this tribe was to retain what they were possessed of, unless it should appear they had too much, and others wanted, and they willing to part with some of it to their brethren, as they afterwards did to the tribes of Simeon and Dan:

and the house of Joseph shall abide in their coast on the north;
on the north of the tribe of Judah; not of the land of Canaan, for some other tribes lay more northerly.

Josué 18:5 In-Context

3 Dijo, pues, Josué a los hijos de Israel: ¿Hasta cuándo pospondréis el entrar a tomar posesión de la tierra que el SEÑOR, el Dios de vuestros padres, os ha dado?
4 Escoged tres hombres de cada tribu, a quienes yo enviaré, y ellos se levantarán y recorrerán la tierra, y harán una descripción de ella según su heredad; entonces volverán a mí.
5 Y la dividirán en siete partes; Judá se quedará en su territorio en el sur, y la casa de José se quedará en su territorio en el norte.
6 Y describiréis la tierra en siete partes, y me traeréis aquí la descripción. Y yo os echaré suertes aquí delante del SEÑOR nuestro Dios.
7 Pues los levitas no tienen porción entre vosotros porque el sacerdocio del SEÑOR es su herencia. Gad, Rubén y la media tribu de Manasés también han recibido su herencia al otro lado del Jordán hacia el oriente, la cual les dio Moisés, siervo del SEÑOR.
