Joshua 16-20

  • There is a consistent theme where land promised to be alloted to the people but somehow could not drive out the Canaanites (16:10, 17:12-13)
  • Are the people complaining God is not being just? (v14) people not content with what God has given.

  • Levites inherit not land, but priesthood (18:7)

  • Cities of refuge. (20:1-6) What is it for? To prevent endless revenge for a mere mistake that had a serious consequence. Rather judgment by aggrieved party through revenge, it is left for congregation (third party) to decide.
