The distribution was done by casting lots, a method believed to reflect God's will (<a href="/proverbs/16-33.htm">Proverbs 16:33</a>). This event fulfills God's promise to Abraham regarding the land (<a href="/genesis/12-7.htm">Genesis 12:7</a>). The division of the land signifies the transition from a nomadic lifestyle to a settled existence, emphasizing the fulfillment of God's covenant and the establishment of Israel as a nation.<p><b>the Israelites gave Joshua son of Nun an inheritance among them,</b><br>Joshua, as the leader who succeeded Moses, played a crucial role in the conquest and distribution of the land. Despite his leadership position, Joshua waited until the end to receive his inheritance, demonstrating humility and selflessness. His inheritance was in Timnath-Serah in the hill country of Ephraim (<a href="/joshua/19-50.htm">Joshua 19:50</a>), aligning with his tribal affiliation. This act of giving Joshua an inheritance highlights the respect and gratitude of the Israelites towards him. It also serves as a type of Christ, who, though deserving of all, humbled Himself for the sake of others (<a href="/philippians/2-5.htm">Philippians 2:5-8</a>).

(a) Historically. Joshua waited for his own inheritance until the last. He sought not his own interest, but that of the people. He asked no kingdom for himself or his family, only a city, which he built, and dwelt therein. (6) Typically. "They gave him the city which he asked, according to the word of the Lord." What does this mean in the case of the true Joshua? <span class= "ital">"Ask of me, </span>and I shall give thee the nations for thine inheritance, and the utmost parts of the earth for thy possession." He must reign till God hath put <span class= "ital">all enemies under His feet. </span>Then, and not till then, will He take His own personal inheritance, and be subject to Him that put all things under Him. Timnath-serah means an abundant portion, a portion of abundance. Though small, it was <span class= "ital">enough </span>for Joshua. It will be enough for his Antitype, when "He shall see of the travail of His soul, and <span class= "ital">be satisfied." </span>It is afterwards called Timnath-heres, the portion <span class= "ital">of the Sun. </span>"His going forth is from the end of heaven, and his circuit unto the ends of it, and there is nothing hid from the heat thereof."<p><div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/joshua/19.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div><span class="cmt_sub_title">Verse 49.</span> - <span class="cmt_word">When they had made an end.</span> The LXX., both here and in ver. 51, reads <span class="hebrew">׃תנךו יךהת יֵלְכוּ</span> The last thing Joshua thought of was himself. It was only when his work was done, and Israel had received her allotted territory, that Joshua thought it right to take his own inheritance.
