What Does This Mean?

Explained for Children
Imagine a big playground that Joshua and his friends won from some mean bullies. They shared this playground with all their friends. This verse tells us about the whole playground, from one big tree to a tall mountain, and how they divided it up fairly.
Historical Background
Joshua 12 was written by Joshua, the leader of the Israelites after Moses, around the 14th century BCE. It was written for the Israelites to remember their conquests and the land that God had promised them. The setting was the Promised Land, where they were settling after their journey from Egypt.
