“And these are the countries which the children of Israel inherited in the land of Canaan, which Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun, and the heads of the fathers of the tribes of the children of Israel, distributed for inheritance to them.”
The western allocation begins — These are the inheritances which the children of Israel received in the land of Canaan, which Eleazar the priest and Joshua the son of Nun and the heads of the fathers' houses of the tribes of the children of Israel divided to them. The western land allocation begins with the same distributive methodology: Eleazar the high priest, Joshua, and the tribal leaders oversee the division. The phrase 'in the land of Canaan' emphasizes that the actual possession (not merely the allocation) is being documented.
