V.1-5 The 9 tribes inherit land according to the Lord’s commandments. An inheritance is something set aside ahead of time for a particular person. God’s thoughts had not been about the east of the Jordan, but about the west of that river. Notice that the word “inheritance” is written in italic. It is added by the translators in 13:15, 24, 29. They are not in the original.
V.6-15 One of God’s faithful men! Because of the Israelites’ failure, he had to go with them about half of his life, 40 years in the wilderness, before he received that which was promised to him. He kept on by faith in the Lord. Here he gets the “good report” which God tells us about in Hebrews 11:1-21Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. 2For by it the elders obtained a good report. (Hebrews 11:1‑2), and possesses Hebron (which means “communion”) for himself. Caleb and Joshua, for their faithfulness, are the only two individuals who received a personal allotment of land in Israel! (14:13).
