V.1-12 Judah was Jacob’s fourth son, but replaced Reuben as the royal tribe from which the Messiah was to come (Gen. 49:1010The sceptre shall not depart from Judah, nor a lawgiver from between his feet, until Shiloh come; and unto him shall the gathering of the people be. (Genesis 49:10)). Therefore, Judah is the first tribe to get its inheritance, and they get the largest portion of all the tribes.
V.13-19 The godly example of Caleb affects his relative and his family. It was their wanting more of God’s promised land, that brought Othniel and Achsah together as husband and wife.
V.20-62 How careful God is with every detail of the tribe of Judah’s inheritance. If you and I are obedient to God’s Word, we will receive a greater reward, for it’s going to be in heaven, from the Lord Himself (Rev. 22:1212And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be. (Revelation 22:12)).
V.63 Tribe after tribe failed to obey the Lord to drive out the enemies.
