Be humble before the Lord and men

Joshua 19:1-51
Simeon inheritance lay within the territory of Judah. It included 13 cities.
Zebulun inheritance had 13 cities.
Issachar inheritance had 16 cities.
Asher inheritance had 24 cities, but 7 cities haven't gotten it.
Naphtali inheritance had 19 cities, but 2 cities haven't gotten it.
Dan inheritance had 19 cities, 1 city haven't gotten it.
Joshua had the town he asked for - Timnath Serah in the hill country of Ephraim.
Simeon's land, further south, overlapped with Judah's, and Simeon became absorbed into the larger tribe.
Dan, assigned land which brought them up against the Philistines and other tough enemies in the south, failed to conquer it and eventually settled in the far north.
The division is completed with the gift of Timnath-serah to Joshua.
Why?
Great man Joshua got his gift after assigned all tribes had their inheritance. Great man is humble and get the gift for him later.
How?
Be humble and let others have the profit of their own, For God is good he will reward us when we follow him completely. Humble is the altitude, humble is not weak but strong.
