Promised land details

After four hundred years in Egypt (Heb. Mitsrayim) and ending up as slaves there, Yahweh told Mosheh (Moses) that he would lead the descendants of Yakov/Yisrael (Jacob/Israel) to the land that he’d promised to them.

Tribal Allotments of the Promised Land

After the Israelites had conquered portions of the Promised Land and Joshua had grown old, the Lord directed him to divide the rest of the land among the tribes of Israel as their inheritance (Joshua 13-20). The eastern tribes had already been allotted their land under Moses’ leadership (Numbers 32), but they continued to help the other tribes drive out the Canaanites from land west of the Jordan River. The Lord also instructed the Israelites to designate several cities of refuge, where someone could flee for protection from an avenger if they accidentally killed someone (Numbers 35; Joshua 20).
