The lot of Simeon. (1-9) The lot of Zebulun. (10-16) The
lot of Issachar, Asher, Naphtali, and Dan. (17-51)
Verses 1-9 The men
of Judah did not oppose taking away the cities within their border, when
convinced that they had more than was right. If a true believer has obtained an
unintended and improper advantage in any thing, he will give it up without
murmuring. Love seeketh not her own, and doth not behave unseemly; it will
induce those in whom it richly dwells, to part with their own to supply what is
lacking to their brethren.
Verses 10-16 In
the division to each tribe of Israel, the prophetic blessings of Jacob were
fulfilled. They chose for themselves, or it was divided to them by lot, in the
manner and places that he foresaw. So sure a rule to go by is the word of
prophecy: we see by it what to believe, and it proves beyond all dispute the
things that are of God.
Verses 17-51
Joshua waited till all the tribes were settled, before he asked any provision
for himself. He was content to be unfixed, till he saw them all placed, and
herein is an example to all in public places, to prefer the common welfare
before private advantage. Those who labour most to do good to others, seek an
inheritance in the Canaan above: but it will be soon enough to enter thereon,
when they have done all the service to their brethren of which they are capable.
Nor can any thing more effectually assure them of their title to it, than
endeavouring to bring others to desire, to seek, and to obtain it. Our Lord
Jesus came and dwelt on earth, not in pomp but poverty, providing rest for man,
yet himself not having where to lay his head; for Christ pleased not himself.
Nor would he enter upon his inheritance, till by his obedience to death he
secured the eternal inheritance for all his people; nor will he account his own
glory completed, till every ransomed sinner is put in possession of his heavenly
rest.
