Contextual Overview

1 These are the lands which the people of Israel received in the land of Canaan. They were given to them as a gift by Eleazar the religious leader, Joshua the son of Nun, and the heads of the fathers' houses of the families of the people of Israel. 2 Their share was decided upon by drawing names, as the Lord told Moses, for the nine families and the half-family group. 3 For Moses had given land to the two families and the half-family group east of the Jordan. But he did not give land to the Levites among them. 4 Because the sons of Joseph were two families, Manasseh and Ephraim. And they did not give part of the land to the Levites. They only gave them cities to live in, with fields for their animals and whatever they had. 5 The people of Israel did just as the Lord had told Moses. They divided the land.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

As the Lord commanded Moses, so the children of Israel did,.... Particularly with respect to the division of the land, and making provision for the Levites; this they did by their heads and representatives, the high priest and chief ruler, and the princes of the several tribes:

and they divided the land; met about it, and began to take measures in order to do it; they prepared for it, though as yet it was not actually done, and previous to it was the following incident.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Joshua 14:5. They divided the land. — This work was begun some time before at Gilgal, and was finished some time after at Shiloh. It must have required a very considerable time to make all the geographical arrangements that were necessary for this purpose.
