Yosua 11:23

11:23 Joshua conquered ¹  the whole land, just as the Lord had promised Moses, ²  and he assigned Israel their tribal portions. ³  Then the land was free of war.

Yosua 18:8

18:8 When the men started out, Joshua told those going to map out the land, “Go, walk through the land, map it out, and return to me. Then I will draw lots for you before the Lord here in Shiloh.”

Yosua 20:8

20:8 Beyond the Jordan east of Jericho ⁴  they selected ⁵  Bezer in the desert on the plain belonging to the tribe of Reuben, Ramoth in Gilead belonging to the tribe of Gad, and Golan in Bashan belonging to the tribe of Manasseh.

Yosua 23:4

23:4 See, I have parceled out to your tribes these remaining nations, ⁶  from the Jordan to the Mediterranean Sea ⁷  in the west, including all the nations I defeated. ⁸ 

[11:23]  ¹ tn Heb “took.”

[11:23]  ² tn Heb “according to all which the Lord said to Moses.” The translation assumes this refers to the promise of the land (see 1:3). Another possibility is that it refers to the Lord’s instructions, in which case the phrase could be translated, “just as the Lord had instructed Moses” (so NLT; cf. also NIV “had directed Moses”).

[11:23]  ³ tn Heb “and Joshua gave it for an inheritance to Israel according to their allotted portions by their tribes.”

[20:8]  ⁴ map For the location of Jericho see Map5 B2; Map6 E1; Map7 E1; Map8 E3; Map10 A2; Map11 A1.

[20:8]  ⁵ tn Or “set aside.”

[23:4]  ⁶ tn Heb “I have assigned by lots to you these remaining nations as an inheritance for your tribes.”

[23:4]  ⁷ tn Heb “the Great Sea,” the typical designation for the Mediterranean Sea.

[23:4]  ⁸ tn Heb “from the Jordan and all the nations which I cut off and the Great Sea [at] the place where the sun sets.” The relationship of the second half of the verse, which mentions nations already conquered, to the first half, which speaks of “remaining nations,” is difficult to understand.
