Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Joshua 13:1

COM commentary-section · status:draft · license:PD

1. Now Joshua was old and stricken in years —He was probably above a hundred years old; for the conquest and survey of the land occupied about seven years, the partition one; and he died at the age of one hundred ten years ( :- ). The distribution, as well as the conquest of the land, was included in the mission of Joshua; and his advanced age supplied a special reason for entering on the immediate discharge of that duty; namely, of allocating Canaan among the tribes of Israel—not only the parts already won, but those also which were still to be conquered. return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-2" class="com-number"
