Now therefore
This phrase serves as a transition, indicating a shift from the previous instructions and narratives to a new directive. It implies urgency and a call to action. In the context of Joshua, it marks a pivotal moment where the focus moves from conquest to settlement. The Hebrew word often translated as "therefore" is "וְעַתָּה" (ve'atah), which can also mean "and now," suggesting a continuation of God's plan and promises.

divide this land
The act of dividing the land is significant in the biblical narrative as it fulfills God's promise to Abraham regarding the inheritance of the land by his descendants (Genesis 15:18-21). The Hebrew word for "divide" is "חָלַק" (chalak), which means to apportion or distribute. This division is not merely a physical allocation but a spiritual and covenantal act, signifying God's faithfulness and the establishment of Israel's identity as a nation.

as an inheritance
The concept of inheritance in the Bible is deeply rooted in the idea of a divine gift. The Hebrew word "נַחֲלָה" (nachalah) refers to a possession or heritage that is passed down through generations. This inheritance is not earned but given by God, emphasizing grace and divine provision. It also underscores the permanence of God's promise, as the land is to be held by the tribes of Israel perpetually.

to the nine tribes
The mention of the nine tribes refers to the tribes of Israel that were to receive their portion of the land west of the Jordan River. Historically, these tribes include Judah, Simeon, Benjamin, Dan, Ephraim, Naphtali, Zebulun, Issachar, and Asher. Each tribe's inheritance was determined by lot, as described in Numbers 26:55-56, symbolizing God's sovereign choice and order.

and the half-tribe of Manasseh
The half-tribe of Manasseh, along with Reuben and Gad, had already received their inheritance on the east side of the Jordan River (Numbers 32). The division of Manasseh into two half-tribes, one on each side of the Jordan, reflects the tribe's significant size and influence. This arrangement also highlights the unity and diversity within the nation of Israel, as they collectively fulfill God's covenantal promise.
