In front of the Tent of Meeting at Shiloh, Joshua continued to divide the land among the tribes of Israel. The tribe of Simeon received its portion within the territory of Judah; the tribe of Zebulun received the fertile northern plain; the tribe of Issachar received the good land of the Jezreel Valley; the tribe of Asher received the rich area along the Mediterranean coast; the tribe of Naphtali received the territory near the Sea of Galilee; and the tribe of Dan received its portion in the west. Each tribe, regardless of size, received its own land and towns from the hand of God. Finally, the people of Israel gave Joshua the city of Timnath‑serah as his personal inheritance, thanking him for his faithful leadership. The whole division of the land was completed fairly and orderly under the guidance of God.
Through Joshua, God distributed the land so that all twelve tribes of Israel received their inheritance. Even in the most difficult times, God's provision remains sufficient. Joseph's special inheritance received a double blessing—this reminds us that God knows the unique needs of each tribe and each person, and His distribution is always most appropriate.
