Joe: Alright, so we are now discussing Joshua 18. What can you tell us about this chapter?

Bible Expert: Well, Joe, Joshua 18 is all about the division of the land to the remaining seven tribes of Israel. It gives instructions for the people to go out and survey the land and divide it among them.

Joe: Wow, that's really interesting. So all the tribes of Israel are getting their own piece of land?

Bible Expert: That's right. The chapter also describes how the tribes of Judah, Benjamin, and Simeon were the first to receive their land. The other four tribes were then to draw lots to divide up the remaining land among themselves.

Joe: Wow, so it was kind of like a lottery to decide who got what land?

Bible Expert: Yes, exactly. It also talks about how the boundaries of the land were to be determined by landmarks like rivers and mountain ranges.

Joe: That's really cool. So this chapter is all about how the tribes of Israel were able to divide up the land they had conquered?

Bible Expert: That's right. It says in the end that the people of Israel did as the Lord had commanded and divided the land among themselves.
