Synopsis:
Because the other 7 tribes had not yet asked for their land,
Joshua chided them and told them to get going. They were to survey the
remaining land, divide it into 7 parts and they would be given out to the
tribes in lots. The first lot described went to children of Benjamin.
In other words:
Joshua had to tell the remaining tribes to stop procrastinating
and get on with taking control of their lands.
Favorite bit:
That the lots will be decided by casting lots. That’s what you get for not taking the time
to demand the land you want. (Joshua 18: 6)
Favorite quote:
Joshua 18:3 That Joshua has to chastise the remaining tribes
to take their land. “How long are ye slack to go to possess the land?”
Moral Lesson:
You snooze you loose.
