In Hebrew, the word is "נַחֲלָה" (nachalah), which signifies a possession or heritage. This concept is deeply rooted in the covenantal promise God made to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, emphasizing the fulfillment of divine promises and the tangible manifestation of God's faithfulness to His people.Eleazar the priest Eleazar, the son of Aaron, served as the high priest. His role in the distribution of the land underscores the spiritual oversight and divine sanction of the process. The priestly involvement highlights the sacred nature of the land division, ensuring that it was conducted according to God's will and not merely human decision.Joshua son of Nun Joshua, the leader of Israel and successor to Moses, is central to the narrative. His leadership is characterized by obedience and faithfulness. The mention of "son of Nun" serves to remind readers of his heritage and the continuity of God's work through generations. Joshua's role in the allocation of the land is a testament to his dedication to fulfilling God's commands.the heads of the families of the tribes of Israel These leaders represented the various tribes and clans, ensuring that the distribution was fair and respected the unique needs and circumstances of each group. Their involvement signifies a communal and participatory approach to governance, reflecting the collective responsibility of the nation in stewarding God's gifts.assigned by lot The casting of lots was a common biblical practice for discerning God's will. It reflects a reliance on divine providence rather than human wisdom. This method ensured that the distribution was perceived as impartial and divinely ordained, reinforcing the belief that God was actively guiding the process.at Shiloh Shiloh was the religious and administrative center of Israel at the time. It housed the Tent of Meeting, making it a fitting location for such a significant event. The choice of Shiloh underscores the centrality of worship and God's presence in the life of the nation.in the presence of the LORD This phrase emphasizes the solemnity and sacredness of the proceedings. Conducting the allocation "in the presence of the LORD" indicates that the entire process was an act of worship and obedience, acknowledging God's sovereignty over the land and its people.at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting The Tent of Meeting was the place where God met with His people, symbolizing His presence among them. Conducting the land division at its entrance highlights the importance of seeking God's guidance and blessing in all endeavors, particularly those of national significance.So they finished dividing the land This concluding phrase marks the completion of a significant chapter in Israel's history. The successful division of the land signifies the fulfillment of God's promises and the establishment of Israel in the Promised Land. It serves as a reminder of God's faithfulness and the importance of obedience to His commands.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/joshua/19.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div>Verse 51. - At the door of the tabernacle of the congregation. The lots were drawn under Divine sanction. The ruler of the State and the ruler of the Church combined in this sacred act, hallowed by all the rites of religion, and confirmed by the presence and approbation of the heads or representatives of all the tribes. Accordingly, as has been said above, we hear of no murmurings or disputings afterwards. However much the Israelites may have quarrelled among themselves, there is not a hint of dissatisfaction with the final distribution of territory. Three points may be noticed here - 1. The authenticity of the narrative is confirmed by these evidences of the internal agreement of its parts. 2. We learn the value of mutual consultation, of open and fair dealing, from this narrative. The parcelling out of the inheritance of Israel under God's command was carried out in such a manner as to preclude the slightest suspicion of partiality. 3. The duty of hallowing all important actions with the sanctions of religion, of uniting prayer and a public recognition of God's authority with every event of moment, whether in the life of the individual or of the body politic, finds an illustration here. An age which, like the present, is disposed to relegate to the closet all recognition of God's authority, which rushes into wars without God's blessing, celebrates national or local ceremonials without acknowledging Him, contracts matrimony without publicly seeking His blessing, receives children from Him without caring to dedicate them formally to His service, can hardly plead that it is acting in the spirit of the Divine Scriptures. A well known writer in our age declares that we have "forgotten God." Though the external and formal recognition of Him may be consistent with much forgetfulness in the heart, yet the absence of such recognition is not likely to make us remember Him, nor can it be pleaded as proof that we do so. . . . <a href="/commentaries/joshua/19-51.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a> <a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div>These [were] אֵ֣לֶּה (’êl·leh) Pronoun - common plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_428.htm">Strong's 428: </a> These, those the inheritances הַנְּחָלֹ֡ת (han·nə·ḥā·lōṯ) Article | Noun - feminine plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_5159.htm">Strong's 5159: </a> Something inherited, occupancy, an heirloom, an estate, patrimony, portion that אֲשֶׁ֣ר (’ă·šer) Pronoun - relative <a href="/hebrew/strongs_834.htm">Strong's 834: </a> Who, which, what, that, when, where, how, because, in order that Eleazar אֶלְעָזָ֣ר (’el·‘ā·zār) Noun - proper - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_499.htm">Strong's 499: </a> Eleazar -- 'God has helped', six Israelites the priest, הַכֹּהֵ֣ן ׀ (hak·kō·hên) Article | Noun - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3548.htm">Strong's 3548: </a> Priest Joshua וִיהוֹשֻׁ֪עַ (wî·hō·wō·šu·a‘) Conjunctive waw | Noun - proper - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3091.htm">Strong's 3091: </a> Joshua -- 'the LORD is salvation', Moses' successor, also the name of a number of Israelites son בִּן־ (bin-) Noun - masculine singular construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_1121.htm">Strong's 1121: </a> A son of Nun, נ֟וּן (nūn) Noun - proper - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_5126.htm">Strong's 5126: </a> Nun -- father of Joshua and the heads וְרָאשֵׁ֣י (wə·rā·šê) Conjunctive waw | Noun - masculine plural construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_7218.htm">Strong's 7218: </a> The head of the families הָֽאָב֣וֹת (hā·’ā·ḇō·wṯ) Article | Noun - masculine plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_1.htm">Strong's 1: </a> Father distributed נִחֲל֣וּ (ni·ḥă·lū) Verb - Piel - Perfect - third person common plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_5157.htm">Strong's 5157: </a> To inherit, to occupy, to bequeath, distribute, instate by lot בְּגוֹרָ֤ל ׀ (bə·ḡō·w·rāl) Preposition-b | Noun - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_1486.htm">Strong's 1486: </a> Lot -- a lot (for casting) to the tribes לְמַטּוֹת֩ (lə·maṭ·ṭō·wṯ) Preposition-l | Noun - masculine plural construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_4294.htm">Strong's 4294: </a> A staff, rod, shaft, branch, a tribe of Israel יִשְׂרָאֵ֨ל ׀ (yiś·rā·’êl) Noun - proper - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3478.htm">Strong's 3478: </a> Israel -- 'God strives', another name of Jacob and his desc at Shiloh בְּשִׁלֹה֙ (bə·ši·lōh) Preposition-b | Noun - proper - feminine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_7887.htm">Strong's 7887: </a> Shiloh -- a city in Ephraim before לִפְנֵ֣י (lip̄·nê) Preposition-l | Noun - common plural construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_6440.htm">Strong's 6440: </a> The face the LORD יְהוָ֔ה (Yah·weh) Noun - proper - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3068.htm">Strong's 3068: </a> LORD -- the proper name of the God of Israel at the entrance פֶּ֖תַח (pe·ṯaḥ) Noun - masculine singular construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_6607.htm">Strong's 6607: </a> An opening, door, entrance way to the Tent אֹ֣הֶל (’ō·hel) Noun - masculine singular construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_168.htm">Strong's 168: </a> A tent of Meeting. מוֹעֵ֑ד (mō·w·‘êḏ) Noun - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_4150.htm">Strong's 4150: </a> Appointed time, place, or meeting So they finished וַיְכַלּ֕וּ (way·ḵal·lū) Conjunctive waw | Verb - Piel - Consecutive imperfect - third person masculine plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3615.htm">Strong's 3615: </a> To be complete, at an end, finished, accomplished, or spent dividing up מֵֽחַלֵּ֖ק (mê·ḥal·lêq) Preposition-m | Verb - Piel - Infinitive construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_2505.htm">Strong's 2505: </a> To be smooth, to apportion, separate the land. הָאָֽרֶץ׃ (hā·’ā·reṣ) Article | Noun - feminine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_776.htm">Strong's 776: </a> Earth, land <div class="vheading">Links</div><a href="/niv/joshua/19-51.htm">Joshua 19:51 NIV</a> <a href="/nlt/joshua/19-51.htm">Joshua 19:51 NLT</a> <a href="/esv/joshua/19-51.htm">Joshua 19:51 ESV</a> <a href="/nasb/joshua/19-51.htm">Joshua 19:51 NASB</a> <a href="/kjv/joshua/19-51.htm">Joshua 19:51 KJV</a> <a href="//bibleapps.com/joshua/19-51.htm">Joshua 19:51 BibleApps.com</a> <a href="//bibliaparalela.com/joshua/19-51.htm">Joshua 19:51 Biblia Paralela</a> <a href="//holybible.com.cn/joshua/19-51.htm">Joshua 19:51 Chinese Bible</a> <a href="//saintebible.com/joshua/19-51.htm">Joshua 19:51 French Bible</a> <a href="/catholic/joshua/19-51.htm">Joshua 19:51 Catholic Bible</a> <a href="/joshua/19-51.htm">OT History: Joshua 19:51 These are the inheritances which Eleazar (Josh.
