Here are the Tribal Allotments

For reference, here is a map of Israel under David and Solomon

How are the Israelites to take the land?

I myself will drive them out from before the people of Israel.

So then, what does tribal allotment mean in the text?

Are they getting the land?

אוֹרִישֵׁ֔

Only allot the land to Israel for an inheritance, as I have commanded you.

7 Now therefore divide this land for an inheritance to the nine tribes and half the tribe of Manasseh.”

Notice here in Chapter 13 that the tribes are allotted their portion in the land, but they have not yet conquered the territories fully.
