Josh. 14:1–19:51 These chapters describe the tribal assignments west of the Jordan.
Josh. 14:1 Eleazar the priest was Aaron’s son and Israel’s second high priest (Num. 20:25; Deut. 10:6). Moses had directed that Eleazar, along with Joshua, would be in charge of dividing the land (Num. 34:17). heads. See Num. 34:18–29.
Josh. 14:2 That the inheritance was by lot guaranteed divine oversight and protected Israel’s leaders from any suspicion of favoritism. See Num. 26:52–56; 33:50–54; 34:1–15.
Josh. 14:3 Levites. See note on 13:14.
Josh. 14:6–15 Caleb receives his inheritance of Hebron, which Moses swore to give him many years before (v. 9; Deut. 1:36). Caleb was 40 years old when Moses sent him as a spy (Josh. 14:7). From that time to the entry into the land of Canaan was another 38 years (Deut. 2:14), making Caleb 78 years old at the beginning of the conquest. Caleb receives his territory at age 85, seven years after the start of the conquest (Josh. 14:10). Caleb maintains that he will be able to drive out from Hebron the formidable Anakim, provided that the Lord will be with him (v. 12). Joshua was already credited with cutting off the Anakim from Hebron (11:21). Either the Anakim have strengthened their position in Hebron (11:22 mentions some survivors) or, more likely, as commander-in-chief Joshua supported and received general credit for Caleb’s eventual defeat of the Anakim (14:12–14; 15:14).
Josh. 14:8–9 Those who wholly followed the Lord will be able to enjoy their inheritance (see also v. 14).
