Getting along

Sometimes we see things and accept them at face value until we think into them a little. When we do, we notice that below the surface what we saw can be somewhat surprising. I find it rather interesting (possibly a bit amusing) that when Bnei Yisroel entered into Eretz Yisroel there were 14 years given until the settled down. These fourteen years are commonly known as "The seven years of capturing and dividing". It took them seven years to finish conquering the bulk of what was going to be Eretz Yisroel in the future and seven years to divvy it up. One second, seven years of chiluk (dividing)???? Yes, it took them as long to divvy up the land as it did to conquer the land. Even though it was divided "al pi hadiboor" via lottery, there must have been a lot of internal strife and bickering. Understandably this chiluk was going to decide their portion for generations to come and was taken very seriously, but seven years? was every parcel contested? did everything end up in bais din? just asking........
