Ziph and Telem and Bealoth are named as towns in the geographical record of the conquering of the Canaanites and the distribution, division, and settling of Canaan among the tribes at their first occupation of the land as a nation. That division account belongs to Joshua 13-22, which accurately describes property from written documents. The division and settling of the Promised Land is also placed in Joshua 11 to 21, which records the inheritance given to Israel.
The surrounding twenty-five-year history of conquest and division includes heroic deeds and earnest admonition and solemn warning. That history exposes Israel's lack of faith and slowness, while ending with the truth that God fulfilled every good thing He had promised. The rest in that land foreshadows the complete rest of God's people in heaven.
