Joshua 19:1-21:45

THE YEAR OF BLOGGING BIBLICALLY: DAY 75


There isn't much to say here, really. Chapter 19 tells how the remainder of the land is divided among the remaining tribes. Each tribes borders are described and their cities named. Simeon's allotment is taken from Judah's territory because Judah has more land than they need (v. 9).  Finally, Joshua himself is given a town to live in (v. 49).

In chapter 20, the Israelites designate three cities of refuge west of the Jordan.

In chapter 21, the Levites, who have no territory of their own, are apportioned cities in the territories of the other tribes.





Next: Joshua 22-24
