Yehoshua 12 - Summary
(Text) - Now that the main recounting of the initial battles of conquest have been completed, a listing is given of the different kingdoms of local rulers that were vanquished by Bnei Yisrael under the rulership of both Moshe and Yehoshua. First a listing is made of the kings who ruled East of the Jordan (Sihon and Og) and the borders of their kingdoms. They were defeated by Bnei Yisrael under the leadership of Moshe. Next a listing is made of the kings and their respective borders to the West of the Jordan River who were defeated by Bnei Yisrael under the leadership of Yehoshua (as told in the first 11 chapters of Sefer Yehoshua) - a total of 31 kings and Canaanite nations that were defeated. There land is given to Bnei Yisrael to be divided among the tribes (the topic of much of the rest of Sefer Yehoshua).
