Contemporary English Version
Nine and a half tribes still did not have any land, although two and a half tribes had already received land east of the Jordan River. Moses had divided that land among them, and he had also said that the Levi tribe would not receive a large region like the other tribes. Instead, the people of Levi would receive towns and the nearby pastures for their sheep, goats, and cattle. And since the descendants of Joseph had become the two tribes of Ephraim and Manasseh, there were still nine and a half tribes that needed land. The Lord had told Moses that he would show those tribes how to divide up the land of Canaan. When the priest Eleazar, Joshua, and the leaders of the families and tribes of Israel met to divide up the land of Canaan, the Lord showed them how to do it.

Contextual Overview

1 And these are they of the sons of Israel who inherited in the land of Canaan, whom Eleazar the priest and Joshua the son of Nun and the heads of the fathers of the tribes of the sons of Israel caused to inherit. 2 Their inheritance was by lot, as Jehovah commanded by the hand of Moses, for the nine tribes, and the half tribe; 3 for Moses had given the inheritance of two of the tribes and the half tribe, beyond the Jordan; and he did not give any inheritance to the Levites among them. 4 For the sons of Joseph were two tribes, Manasseh and Ephraim. And they did not give a portion to the Levites in the land, except cities to live in , with the open land around them for their livestock and for their substance, 5 as Jehovah commanded Moses, so the sons of Israel did, and they allotted the land.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And these [are the countries] which the children of Israel inherited in the land of Canaan,.... Of which an exact account is given in the following chapters, particularly in the Joshua 15:1;

which Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun, and the heads of the fathers of the tribes of the children of Israel, distributed for an inheritance unto them; namely, ten princes, one of each tribe, who, with Eleazar and Joshua, were appointed of the Lord by name to do this business, even seven years ago, before their entrance into the land of Canaan, Numbers 34:17.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

CHAPTER XIV

Eleazar, Joshua, and the heads of the fathers, distribute the

land by lot to the people, 1-3.

The Levites receive no land, but cities to dwell in, and suburbs

for their cattle, 4, 5.

Caleb requests to have Mount Hebron for an inheritance, because

of his former services, 6-12.

Joshua grants his request, 13-15.

NOTES ON CHAP. XIV

Verse Joshua 14:1. Eleazar the priest, c. — ELEAZAR, as being the minister of GOD in sacred things is mentioned first. JOSHUA, as having the supreme command in all things civil, is mentioned next. And the HEADS or PRINCES of the twelve tribes, who in all things acted under Joshua, are mentioned last. These heads or princes were twelve, Joshua and Eleazar included and the reader may find their names in Numbers 34:19-28. It is worthy of remark that no prince was taken from the tribes of Reuben and Gad, because these had already received their inheritance on the other side of Jordan, and therefore could not be interested in this division.
