God spells out to Joshua there are still large areas of territory to be taken & then expands on this in the next few verses.
The Levites are not given any share of the land, but only towns to live in with pasture-lands for their flocks & herds. Caleb however still has land to possess and God gives him the strength and vision to do so.
The attitudes of the people of Joseph were lazy. They saw that God had blessed, but thought that meant they had a right to possession, rather than seeing their need to work.
Joshua was seeking to correct laziness amongst the people - there was work to do & tasks to be involved in.
God has promised blessing, but there is work to do - there is no excuse at all for laziness. We must get on and do the tasks He has given for us.
