What Does Joshua 18:10 Mean?
With the survey in hand, Joshua casts the lots in Shiloh before the LORD and allots the land to Israel according to their divisions. The plan begun in verse four now reaches its end: every waiting tribe receives its portion.
The dividing is done in God's presence, not by Joshua's preference. What the people could not arrange without strife, the LORD settles. The long-delayed inheritance is at last handed out, and each tribe finds its place by the decision of God rather than by its own grasping.
