SEV Biblia, Chapter 19:51
Estas son las heredades que Eleazar sacerdote, y Josué hijo de Nun, y los principales de los padres, entregaron por suerte en posesión a las tribus de los hijos de Israel en Silo delante del SEÑOR, a la entrada del tabernáculo del testimonio; y así acabaron de repartir la tierra.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Joshua 19:51
Verse 51. At the door of the tabernacle] All the inheritances were determined by lot, and this was cast before the Lord- every thing was done in his immediate presence, as under his eye; hence there was no murmuring, each having received his inheritance as from the hand of God himself, though some of them thought they must have additional territory, because of the great increase of their families.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 51. These [are] the inheritances which Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun , etc.] The one the high priest, and the other the chief governor of the nation: and the heads of the fathers of the tribes of the children of Israel ; the princes appointed for this service, whose names are given ( Numbers 34:18-28); the inheritances before described in the preceding chapters by their boundaries and cities, these the said persons divided for an inheritance by lot in Shiloh ; and so has particular reference to the seven lots drawn there for seven of the tribes, by which their inheritances were assigned to them: and this was done before the Lord, at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation ; (see Joshua 18:1,10); so they made an end of dividing the country ; though it was not as yet wholly subdued.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 17-51 - Joshua waited till all the tribes were settled, before he asked an provision for himself. He was content to be unfixed, till he saw the all placed, and herein is an example to all in public places, to prefe the common welfare before private advantage. Those who labour most to do good to others, seek an inheritance in the Canaan above: but it wil be soon enough to enter thereon, when they have done all the service to their brethren of which they are capable. Nor can any thing mor effectually assure them of their title to it, than endeavouring to bring others to desire, to seek, and to obtain it. Our Lord Jesus cam and dwelt on earth, not in pomp but poverty, providing rest for man yet himself not having where to lay his head; for Christ pleased no himself. Nor would he enter upon his inheritance, till by his obedienc to death he secured the eternal inheritance for all his people; no will he account his own glory completed, till every ransomed sinner is put in possession of his heavenly rest __________________________________________________________________
