Joshua 19:49

Joshua 19:49 -

When they had made an end. The LXX ; both here and in Joshua 19:51 , reads יֵלְכוּ they went. The last thing Joshua thought of was himself. It was only when his work was done, and Israel had received her allotted territory, that Joshua thought it right to take his own inheritance. Calvin remarks that it was "a striking proof of the moderation of this servant of God" that he "thought not of his own interest until that of the community was secured."
