What Does Joshua 18:20 Mean?
The Jordan itself serves as the eastern boundary, and with that the four sides are joined. The narrator sums it up: this is the inheritance of Benjamin, marked out on every side, given to their families.
The portion is now whole, ringed by named borders and rivers. God has given the small tribe a settled, complete home. The summary word inheritance returns, underscoring that all of this is gift, received from the LORD and meant to be passed down within the family for generations.
