The land divided among the tribes

Joshua and Eleazar allotted the land by lot to the nine and a half tribes, Caleb receiving Hebron at 85, forty-five years after the spies (Joshua 14:6-15). The Ussher record places the closing southern campaign in 1445 BC.

📖 Joshua 14:1

1Now these are the portions that the Israelites inherited in the land of Canaan, as distributed by Eleazar the priest, Joshua son of Nun, and the heads of the families of the tribes of Israel.
