This chapter re-emphasizes the need of more land to be taken and how the land that they have was to be divided among the 9 1/2 tribes (Manasseh's tribe was split in half). It goes through who had the land before and who got it now. It seems that the prior holders were simply a bookmark for the Israelites whom the Lord loved and gave them the land. It still reminds me of how much the Israelites they had and ultimately how much they lost through their disobediance and defiance. God is still remindful that the Levites got no land since the Lord was their inheritance.
We are now the Lord's inheritance, I pray I never lose it!
