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 Y todas la villas de los levitas en medio de la posesi贸n de los hijos de Israel, fueron cuarenta y ocho villas con sus ejidos.
42 Y estas ciudades estaban apartadas la una de la otra cada cual con sus ejidos alrededor de ellas; lo cual fue en todas estas ciudades.
43 As铆 dio el SE脩OR a Israel toda la tierra que hab铆a jurado dar a sus padres; y la poseyeron, y habitaron en ella.
44 Y el SE脩OR les dio reposo alrededor, conforme a todo lo que hab铆a jurado a sus padres; y nadie de todos sus enemigos les par贸 delante, sino que el SE脩OR entreg贸 en sus manos a todos sus enemigos.
45 No falt贸 palabra de todas las buenas que habl贸 el SE脩OR a la casa de Israel; todo se cumpli贸.
