The Land Divided West of the Jordan

1 These are the areas which the children of Israel inherited in the land of Canaan, awhich Eleazar the priest, Joshua the son of Nun, and the heads of the fathers of the tribes of the children of Israel distributed as an inheritance to them.  
2 Their inheritance was aby lot, as the Lord had commanded by the hand of Moses, for the nine tribes and the half-tribe.  
3 aFor Moses had given the inheritance of the two tribes and the half-tribe on the other side of the Jordan; but to the Levites he had given no inheritance among them.  
4 For athe children of Joseph were two tribes: Manasseh and Ephraim. And they gave no part to the Levites in the land, except bcities to dwell in, with their common-lands for their livestock and their property.  
5 aAs the Lord had commanded Moses, so the children of Israel did; and they divided the land.

6 Then the children of Judah came to Joshua in Gilgal. And Caleb the son of Jephunneh the aKenizzite said to him: “You know bthe word which the Lord said to Moses the man of God concerning cyou and me in Kadesh Barnea.  
7 I was forty years old when Moses the servant of the Lord asent me from Kadesh Barnea to spy out the land, and I brought back word to him as it was in my heart.

Joshua 14:1

Eleazar the priest, etc. - Eleazar, as being the minister of God in sacred things is mentioned first. Joshua, as having the supreme command in all things civil, is mentioned next. And the Heads or Princes of the twelve tribes, who in all things acted under Joshua, are mentioned last. These heads or princes were twelve, Joshua and Eleazar included; and the reader may find their names in Numbers 34:19-28. It is worthy of remark that no prince was taken from the tribes of Reuben and Gad, because these had already received their inheritance on the other side of Jordan, and therefore could not be interested in this division.
