What happensPermalink
God reminds Joshua that while Israel has conquered the land, it has not yet possessed it, and Joshua is getting old. Joshua allocates the land east of the Jordan. The tribes east of the Jordan do not drive out their neighbors.
Why it mattersPermalink
Israel conquers Bashan and Sihon east of the Jordan when they were attacked, but unlike the land east of the Jordan, the army doesn’t finish the job, leaving many peoples and religions around to corrupt Israel.
Key versePermalink
These are the inheritances that Moses distributed in the plains of Moab, beyond the Jordan east of Jericho.
