Acts13:19
19 And when he had destroyed seven nations in the land of Canaan, he divided their land to them by lot.
These seven Nations are mentioned, Ioshua 3.10.
The Lot being disposed only as God would, Prov. 16. ult. And it was but reasonable that God having miraculously got this Land (for the Israelites did rather go to take possession of it, than to fight for it) and assumed a special right unto it, that he should divide it to whom he pleased, and in what proportions he thought good.
Marginal references: Josh. 14.1.
