The reading today is split into two parts: a section covering God's instructions to Joshua in his old age, presumably well after the wars of the previous chapters, telling him that there was more land yet to be conquered. I had thought the earlier fighting was all, but apparently I was mistaken.
From there, the chapter takes an abrupt turn and goes over the geographical description of how the land east of the Jordan river was split up between the tribes of Reuben, Gad, and Manasseh. While I'm sure the specific boundaries were important at that time, they don't mean a whole lot to me - especially since I am blissfully unfamiliar with the layout of those lands.

Hey man, this is Bobby Knaus. I just wanted to say I think it's cool that you are reading a chapter a day and commenting about it. I can see where that's a little more helpful to stay motivated to read your chapter for the day.
It is indeed an encouragement and reminder to read each day - and to think about what I read :) Thank you for stopping by and commenting, Bobby!
