The book of Joshua opens with Israels entrance into the Promised Land about 1405 b. ... Joshua successfully led the Israelites in the conquest of Canaan, or rather, of at least sufficient portions of it as to make possible the allotment to each tribe of its appointed inheritance, so that all the people might find a permanent place of abode. ...
The book may be divided into 3 parts: (1) The conquest of Canaan (Jos 1:1; to 12:24); (2) the partition of the land (chs 13:1 to 22:34); (3) Joshuas farewell address to Israel (chs 23:1 to 24:33). ... The preliminary conquest of the land now completed, Joshua proceeded to make the tribal allotments (Joshua 13 to 19), and set apart certain cities as cities of refuge (ch 20) and others for the Levites (ch 21). ... The book closes with Joshuas farewell address to Israel, the renewal of the covenant of the people with Yahweh, and an account of Joshuas death (chs 23, 24).
