Adjustments Joshua 19

Joshua 19:9 "Out of the portion of the children of Judah was the inheritance of the childrenof Simeon: for the part of the children of Judah was too much for them: therefore the children of Simeon had their inheritance within the inheritance of them."

We are beginning to see some adjustments. Land and cities within some possessions are given out to peoples of other tribes as in this verse Simeon shared in Judah's possession because what they had been given was too large for them to inhabit or perhaps it was to large in relation to that given to other tribes.

Also, we will see some cities given up. Joshua has been dividing land without regard for himself but that was taken care of by the elders of Israel.

Speaking of Joshua:

v50 "According to the word of the LORD they gave him the city which he asked, even Timmath-serah in mount Ephraim, and he built the city, and dwelt therein."

These actions took place in a place called Shiloh, a name that was borrowed for a place in our country where other famous events took place.

v51 "..... so they made an end of dividing the country."

Psalms 107:29 "He maketh the storm a calm, so that the waves thereof are still."
