Joshua 13-17
The author began this section following the conquering of the land by pointing out that Joshua was old, and the land needed yet to be possessed (i.e., lived in, houses built, locals eliminated). Joshua then pointed out that Reuben, Gad and the half tribe of Manasseh would dwell east of the Jordan as their allotment, while the other nine and one-half tribes would dwell on the west side. He then divided the east side between the two and one-half tribes. The phrase is repeated in 23:1. Joshua as the key figure examined in this book will, like Moses, leave the job unfinished.
