Joshua begins to divide the land among the tribes, so that the conquest may continue. Among those receiving land is Caleb, Joshua's partner on a reconnaissance mission 40+ years previously. Caleb's strength is not diminished, and he is eager to prove how great his God still is. His courage and ability is demonstrated against the Anakim - much to the dismay and defeat of the Anakim.
The tribes and cities are divided and given to the children of Israel, so that not only would the land be theirs in name - it would also be theirs in fact.
