Josué 21:43 Meaning and Commentary

Joshua 21:43

And the Lord gave unto Israel all the land which he sware to
give unto their fathers
It was all given them by lot, whether subdued or not subdued, and the far greater part was actually put into their hands, and they had as much as they could for the present occupy and cultivate; and such as were in the hands of the Canaanites, were subject to pay tribute to them; and it was owing to their own slothfulness and sluggishness that they did not possess more hereafter; though it was the will of God that their enemies should be driven out by little and little, until the Israelites were so increased as to occupy the whole, lest any part of the land should lie waste and become barren, and lest the wild beasts of the field should multiply upon them:

and they possessed it, and dwelt therein;
each according to their lot in the several places assigned them, as many cities as they could at present people, and as much land as they could now manage.

Josué 21:43 In-Context

41 No total, as cidades dos levitas nos territórios dos outros israelitas foram quarenta e oito cidades com os seus arredores.

42 Cada uma de todas essas cidades tinha pastagens ao seu redor.

43 Assim o SENHOR deu aos israelitas toda a terra que tinha prometido sob juramento aos seus antepassados, e eles tomaram posse dela e se estabeleceram ali.

44 O SENHOR lhes concedeu descanso de todos os lados, como tinha jurado aos seus antepassados. Nenhum dos seus inimigos pôde resistir-lhes, pois o SENHOR entregou todos eles em suas mãos.

45 De todas as boas promessas do SENHOR à nação de Israel, nenhuma delas falhou; todas se cumpriram.
