What happensPermalink
Allotment of land to the half-tribe of Manasseh that settled on the west of the Jordan. The daughters of Zelophehad, part of this tribe, receive their land as Moses promised. They failed to drive out all the Canaanites living in their land.
Why it mattersPermalink
The Manassehites worried they could not drive out the Canaanites from their land due to superior military technology (iron chariots), but Joshua assures them they can. The fact that some remain indicates a falling away from God.
Key versePermalink
Now when the people of Israel grew strong, they put the Canaanites to forced labor, but did not utterly drive them out.
