It is easy to get lost in Joshua 13 and 14.
<blockquote>Someone has said, “Most of this long section reads like a real estate deed.” And that is precisely what is found in these lengthy narrations <ref>Donald K. Campbell, “Joshua,” in The Bible Knowledge Commentary: An Exposition of the Scriptures, ed. J. F. Walvoord and R. B. Zuck, vol. 1 (Wheaton, IL: Victor Books, 1985), 355.</ref></blockquote>

However, we must understand that Israel is coming off of 430 years in Egypt, 40 years wandering in the wilderness, and 7 years of war. Finally, God's promise to Abraham will be complete.

==There is still work to do (13:1-7)==

*According to Joshua 24:9, how old was Joshua when he died?
**Joshua was 110 years old when he died which means that he was probably 100 years old at this point.

*According to the beginning of verse 2, what still needed to be completed?
**There was still land to be conquered.

*What did God command Joshua to do in verse 7?
**God commanded Joshua to divide the land. In particular, the individual tribes are now responsible for finishing the conquest. The major victories have been won and now the baton is being passed onto the next generation.

==East of the Jordan (13:8-32)==

+**They received no land inheritance rather they received the priesthood as their inheritance (13:14).  Interestingly the double portion went to Joseph.  The tribe of Levi could have felt robbed but instead they inherited something far greater.  It is interesting that a few hundred years later, when the nation splits that the Levites move to Judah to continue to serve in their role as priests.  Part of me wonders if they had received land instead if they too would have quickly fallen into apostasy.  The most important possession we can pass onto future generation is godliness.
