Joshua 19:51 Meaning and Commentary

Joshua 19:51

These [are] the inheritances which Eleazar the priest, and
Joshua the son of Nun
The one the high priest, and the other the chief governor of the nation:

and the heads of the fathers of the tribes of the children of Israel;
the princes appointed for this service, whose names are given ( Numbers 34:18-28 ) ; the inheritances before described in the preceding chapters by their boundaries and cities, these the said persons

divided for an inheritance by lot in Shiloh;
and so has particular reference to the seven lots drawn there for seven of the tribes, by which their inheritances were assigned to them: and this was done

before the Lord, at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation;
see ( Joshua 18:1 Joshua 18:10 ) ;

so they made an end of dividing the country;
though it was not as yet wholly subdued.
