SEV Biblia, Chapter 13:7
¶ Parte, pues, tú ahora esta tierra en heredad a las nueve tribus, y a la media tribu de Manasés.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Joshua 13:7
Verse 7. The nine tribes, and the half tribe of Manasseh] The other half tribe of Manasseh, and the two tribes of Reuben and Gad, had got their inheritance on the other side of Jordan, in the land formerly belonging to Og king of Bashan, and Sihon king of the Amorites.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 7. Now therefore divide this land for an inheritance , etc.] Having the command and authority of God for it, he was to set about it at once, with all diligence and application: unto the nine tribes : of Judah, Simeon, Benjamin, Dan, Ephraim, Zebulun, Issachar, Asher, and Naphtali, in which order they are placed, when the Lord gave to Moses the names of the men that should divide the land under Eleazar and Joshua, ( Numbers 34:16-28); and the half tribe of Manasseh ; that half which had no inheritance on the other side Jordan, and for which a prince of the children of Joseph was appointed to divide, ( Numbers 34:23).
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 7-33 - The land must be divided among the tribes. It is the will of God tha every man should know his own, and not take that which is another's The world must be governed, not by force, but right. Wherever ou habitation is placed, and in whatever honest way our portion is assigned, we should consider them as allotted of God; we should be thankful for, and use them as such, while every prudent method shoul be used to prevent disputes about property, both at present and in future. Joshua must be herein a type of Christ, who has not onl conquered the gates of hell for us, but has opened to us the gates of heaven, and having purchased the eternal inheritance for all believers will put them in possession of it. Here is a general description of the country given to the two tribes and a half, by Moses. Israel must know their own, and keep to it; and may not, under pretence of their being God's peculiar people, encroach on their neighbours. Twice in thi chapter it is noticed, that to the tribe of Levi Moses gave n inheritance: see Nu 18:20. Their maintenance must be brought out of all the tribes. The ministers of the Lord should show themselve indifferent about worldly interests, and the people should take car they want nothing suitable. And happy are those who have the Lord God of Israel for their inheritance, though little of this world falls to their lot. His providences will supply their wants, his consolation will support their souls, till they gain heavenly joy and everlastin pleasures __________________________________________________________________
