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 Así que Josué los desafió: «¿Hasta cuándo van a esperar para tomar posesión del territorio que les otorgó el SEÑOR, Dios de sus antepasados?
4 Nombren a tres hombres de cada tribu para que yo los envíe a reconocer las tierras, y que hagan por escrito una reseña de cada territorio. A su regreso,
5 dividan el resto del país en siete partes. Judá mantendrá sus territorios en el sur, y los descendientes de José, en el norte.
6 Cuando hayan terminado la descripción de las siete regiones, tráiganmela, y yo las asignaré echando suertes en presencia del SEÑOR nuestro Dios.
7 Los levitas, como ya saben, no recibirán ninguna porción de tierra, porque su herencia es su servicio sacerdotal ante el SEÑOR. Además, Gad, Rubén y la media tribu de Manasés ya han recibido sus respectivos territorios en el lado oriental del Jordán. Moisés, siervo del SEÑOR, se los entregó como herencia».
