Joshua 11:23

23 Joshua conquered ^{▼▼ Heb “took.”} the whole land, just as the Lord had promised Moses, ^{▼▼ Heb “according to all which the Lord said to Moses.” The translation assumes this refers to the promise of the land (see 1:3). Another possibility is that it refers to the Lord’s instructions, in which case the phrase could be translated, “just as the Lord had instructed Moses” (so NLT; cf. also NIV “had directed Moses”).} and he assigned Israel their tribal portions. ^{▼▼ Heb “and Joshua gave it for an inheritance to Israel according to their allotted portions by their tribes.”} Then the land was free of war.
