What does Joshua 15 reveal about who God the Father is? The Lord is the giver of the land. Land belongs to him and he is the one who gives it to whom he pleases. By means of the lot he makes sure that the land is given in the right proportions to the right tribes.
The Lord is faithful to his promises. He promised the land of Canaan to Abraham’s descendants and now he is giving that land to them. He graciously gives his people cities to live in which they did not build or work for.
The Lord is sovereign. He controls who gets what land. He decides where his people must live.
