And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD , choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD .
Joshua 24:15 KJV

The second half describes how territory is divided among the twelve tribes, with towns set aside for the Levites and for refuge.

The book presents the fulfillment of the land promise made to Abraham, while also acknowledging that much remained unsettled.
