What Does Joshua 19:50 Mean?
Joshua's inheritance is given according to the word of the LORD, the city he asked for in the hill country of Ephraim. He then rebuilds Timnathserah and makes his home there.
Joshua's request is modest, and his portion comes by God's word rather than his own grasping. The conqueror of the land settles quietly in a single town he must build up himself. True greatness rests content in what God gives and labors faithfully in its own appointed place.
