The Distribution of the Inheritance

We have come to the part of the book of Joshua that is after the formal conquest of the land. Chapter 12 was a list to remind us of God's great faithfulness in defeating this list of powerful kings through Joshua and the armies of Israel. Now we come to chapter 13, and we begin to discover that although the major battles are all won, more conquering needs to take place to fully possess the promises that God had made to Israel.
