What Does Joshua 19:23 Mean?
Issachar's portion is sealed with the familiar closing line, declaring the cities and villages to be their inheritance by families. Another tribe is brought to its rest.
The repeated formula is a drumbeat of faithfulness. What God swore to the fathers He is doing in the sight of their children. Promise becomes possession, again and again, until the whole nation is settled in the land.
