Summary

Joshua 19:48 records the fulfillment of the land allotment for the tribe of Naphtali. This verse highlights the faithfulness of God in keeping His promises to the Israelites, providing them with the inheritance He had promised to their ancestors. The allocation of land to each tribe was significant as it symbolized God's provision, sovereignty, and faithfulness to His chosen people. It also serves as a reminder of the importance of obedience and trust in God's plans, as He fulfills His promises in His perfect timing.

Commentary

John Gill Bible Commentary

And when they made an end of dividing the land for inheritance by their coasts,.... That is, Eleazar, Joshua, and the ten men appointed for this, purpose; when all the lots were drawn, and the several inheritances which came up to them were divided among the families of the respective tribes, this work being finished: the children of Israel gave an inheritance to Joshua the son of Nun among them; most interpreters observe the modesty of Joshua, that though the oldest and the greatest man in the nation, the chief governor, yet had his inheritance last of all; nor did he take any part to himself, it was given to him by the people, who had the whole land divided among them; in which he was a type of Christ; see Co2 8:9 Phi 2:6.
