Joshua 23:4

4 See, I have allotted these remaining nations to you as an inheritance for your tribes, including all the nations I have destroyed, from the Jordan westward to the Mediterranean Sea

Joshua 23:4 Meaning and Commentary

Joshua 23:4

Behold, I have divided to you by lot these nations that
remain
Who are unsubdued, not yet conquered, as well as those that are

to be an inheritance for your tribes;
to be possessed by them and their children for ever:

from Jordan, with all the nations I have cut off, even unto the great
sea westward;
the phrase, "with all the nations I have cut off", is to be read in connection with "those nations that remain"; both those that were cut off by the sword of Joshua, and those that remained unconquered, being divided by lot to the tribes of Israel; and which reached from Jordan eastward, where Joshua and Israel entered into the land, to the Mediterranean sea, called the great sea in comparison of little ones in Canaan, as the Dead sea, and the sea of Tiberias; and which great sea lay west to the land of Israel, or where the sun sets, as the phrase in the Hebrew text is.

Joshua 23:4 In-Context

2 So Joshua summoned all Israel, including its elders, leaders, judges, and officers, and said to them, "I am old, getting on in years,
3 and you have seen for yourselves everything the Lord your God did to all these nations on your account, because it was the Lord your God who was fighting for you.
4 See, I have allotted these remaining nations to you as an inheritance for your tribes, including all the nations I have destroyed, from the Jordan westward to the Mediterranean Sea
5 The Lord your God will force them back on your account and drive them out before you, so that you can take possession of their land, as the Lord your God promised you.
6 "Be very strong, and continue obeying all that is written in the book of the law of Moses, so that you do not turn from it to the right or left
