Joshua 17 continues the narrative of land distribution among the tribes of Israel. In this chapter, the descendants of Manasseh—specifically the half-tribe of Manasseh—are assigned their inheritance. However, they express concern about the size of the land given to them, prompting Joshua to encourage them to clear the forests and expand their territory. Additionally, the daughters of Zelophehad approach Joshua seeking their rightful inheritance, which is granted to them by divine instruction. The chapter emphasizes the allocation of land and addresses issues of fairness and inheritance rights within the tribes settling in the Promised Land.
