Portions: Joshua 11-15

So Joshua took the entire land,
just as the Lord had directed Moses,
and he gave it as an inheritance to Israel
according to their tribal divisions.
Then the land had rest from war.
(Joshua 11:23)

These are the kings of the land
whom the Israelites had defeated
and whose territory they took over
east of the Jordan . . ..
These are the kings of the land
that Joshua and the Israelites conquered
on the west side of the Jordan . . ..
(Joshua 12:1,7)

This is the inheritance
Moses had given
when he was in the plains of Moab
across the Jordan
east of Jericho.
(Joshua 13:32)

Now these are the areas the Israelites
received as an inheritance in the land of Canaan,
which Eleazar the priest,
Joshua son of Nun
and the heads of the tribal clans of Israel
allotted to them.
So the Israelites divided the land,
just as the Lord had commanded Moses.
Then Joshua blessed Caleb son of Jephunneh
and gave him Hebron as his inheritance.
So Hebron has belonged to Caleb
son of Jephunneh the Keizzite ever since,
because he followed the Lord,
the God if Israel, wholeheartedly.
. . . Then the land had rest from war.
(Joshua 14:1,13-15)

Judah could not dislodge the Jebusites,
who were living in Jerusalem;
to this day the Jebusites live there
with the people of Judah.
(Joshua 15:63)
