Joshua 17 Bible Study Guide — Summary, Themes & Outline

Joshua 17 continues the Joseph allotment with the half-tribe of Manasseh. It includes the remarkable story of Zelophehad's daughters, who received their father's inheritance, and the tribe's complaint that their territory was too small. Joshua's reply challenges them to clear the forested hill country and drive out the Canaanites rather than complain about the size of their allotment.
