Jozua 14:2 Meaning and Commentary

Joshua 14:2

By lot [was] their inheritance
Every tribe had its part and portion assigned to it, by the casting of lots; which was done to prevent any future quarrels, animosities and strifes among the tribes, the disposition being of the Lord; and to show the exact agreement between the lot and the divine predictions by Jacob and Moses; and to make it appear that the division of the land was not owing to the private combination of the above men, and their private settlement of it; but to the providence of God, the directors of the lot; their chief business was to see that the lot was executed in a faithful manner, and that every tribe had its allotment according to it. In this Canaan was a type of the heavenly inheritance, which the saints obtain by lot, in and through Christ, the antitypical Joshua, ( Ephesians 1:11 ) ;

as the Lord commanded by the hand of Moses,
( Numbers 26:55 Numbers 26:56 ) ;

for the nine tribes, and [for] the half tribe;
see ( Joshua 13:7 ) ; the reason why this number of them is particularly mentioned follows.

Jozua 14:2 In-Context

1 Dit is nu hetgeen de kinderen Israels geerfd hebben in het land Kanaan; hetwelk de priester Eleazar, en Jozua, de zoon van Nun, en de hoofden der vaderen van de stammen der kinderen Israels, hun hebben doen erven;
2 Door het lot hunner erfenis, gelijk als de HEERE door den dienst van Mozes geboden had, aangaande de negen stammen en den halven stam.
3 Want aan de twee stammen en den halven stam had Mozes een erfdeel gegeven op gene zijde van de Jordaan; maar aan de Levieten had hij geen erfdeel onder hen gegeven.
4 Want de kinderen van Jozef waren twee stammen, Manasse en Efraim; en aan de Levieten gaven zij geen deel in het land, maar steden om te bewonen, en derzelver voorsteden voor hun vee en voor hun bezitting.
5 Gelijk als de HEERE Mozes geboden had, alzo deden de kinderen Israels, en zij deelden het land.
