part of the land of Canaan remained unconquered, and which it was; and
is directed to divide the whole land among the nine tribes, and the

and Gad, and the other half tribe of Manasseh, had received their
inheritance on the other side Jordan, Jos 13:8; that is described in
general, Jos 13:9-14; and, then the particular portion of Reuben,

Manasseh, Jos 13:29-33.
