Notes

Joshua 18:1

Israel camped at Gilgal in the Jordan Valley (14:6). Shiloh was about 32 kilometers (20 miles) north of Jerusalem, in the hills of Ephraim. By placing the Tent of Meeting there, Joshua made Shiloh the religious and political center of Israel. The Tent of Meeting remained at Shiloh until the Philistines captured the ark of God (1 Samuel 4:10–11).

Joshua 14:1–19:51

The allotment of land to the tribes on the west side of the Jordan describes what God intended for each tribe to possess.
The one narrating the story begins this section with Caleb receiving land and ends with Joshua receiving land (14:6–15; 19:49–51). Only Caleb and Joshua had shown faith in God that Israel could conquer the land (Numbers 13:30; 14:6–9).

Joshua 13:1–21:45

As he had promised, God brought Israel into the land. Joshua then focused on dividing the land among Israel's tribes.
The tribal allowances made the covenant of the Israelites with God real. It showed the fulfillment of God's promise to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Since God owned the land, giving it to the tribes was a gift. God gave them the land to live in and guided its distribution.
In these lists of tribal allowances, the author describes some borders in great detail, allowing them to be mapped. With others, they are less plainly defined.
