These [are] the inheritances which Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun,.... The one the high priest, and the other the chief governor of the nation:and the heads of the fathers of the tribes of the children of Israel; the princes appointed for this service, whose names are given Nu 34:18; the inheritances before described in the preceding chapters by their boundaries and cities, these the said personsdivided for an inheritance by lot in Shiloh; and so has particular reference to the seven lots drawn there for seven of the tribes, by which their inheritances were assigned to them: and this was donebefore the Lord, at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation; see Jos 18:1;so they made an end of dividing the country; though it was not as yet wholly subdued.
