Joshua stipulated ten conditions with the settlers of the Land of Israel when he divided the land among them, and their inheritance of the land was contingent upon their acceptance for orderly and amicable settlement. They include
* people can pasture their animals in privately owned forests, and the owners shall not object;
* they may gather wood from their fellows' fields;
* they may gather grasses for animal feed from any place;
* one may cut off shoots from another person's tree in order to plant or graft them;
* all may fish with hooks and lines in the sea of Tiberias (Kinneret).
