These [are] the inheritances which Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun, etc.] The one the high priest, and the other the chief governor of the nation: and the heads of the fathers of the tribes of the children of Israel; the princes appointed for this service, whose names are given (<043418>Numbers 34:18-28); the inheritances before described in the preceding chapters by their boundaries and cities, these the said persons divided for an inheritance by lot in Shiloh; and so has particular reference to the seven lots drawn there for seven of the tribes, by which their inheritances were assigned to them: and this was done before the Lord, at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation; (see <061801> Joshua 18:1,10); so they made an end of dividing the country; though it was not as yet wholly subdued.
