Why is the law about an unsolved murder placed between laws on warfare? Killing in war is not a sin, but it still brings a collective blood guilt that must be purged.
The heifer killed for an unsolved murder is not a sacrifice or atonement, as all sacrifices must be offered at the altar in Jerusalem. There's no altar here of any kind. Moses doesn't give us a clear explanation of what is going on in Deuteronomy 21:1-9. Is the heifer beheaded or neck broken? There's a lot of disagreement about that among Jewish & Christian commentators. I see good arguments both ways.

Then I took your father Abraham from beyond the River and led him through all the land of Canaan, and made his offspring many. I gave him Isaac.
Joshua 24:3 #lechlecha #lekhlekha #faith
God multiplied Abraham's children before Isaac was born. His promises are fulfilled as soon as they're spoken, but obedience to God's instructions today doesn't always bring all the promised blessings today. Everything in God's time.
Joshua 24:2-3 says Ur is "beyond the Euphrates" on the east, but the place commonly believed to be Ur is on the west side today. All rivers change course over time, and the Euphrates might have made a dramatic shift due to a flood or earthquake sometime before Christ. Or Ur might actually be somewhere else altogether.

Historians say that Joshua 24 follows the format of a Hittite suzerainty treaty. The cultures of the Ancient Near East had many common elements, so this isn't surprising. Israel had some very distinct differences, though, not the least of which was the form of government that YHWH instituted.
In v1, "all the tribes of Israel" means representatives from all the tribes, not every member of every tribe. See also 23:2. This verse describes five levels of government in ancient Israel:
1) THE Judge (Joshua)
2) Elders (70 or 12?)
3) Clan or Tribal Patriarchs
4) Judges (for each city & town)
5) Officers (militia commanders in each city & town)
The priesthood is curiously missing. Perhaps because it is a parallel government without direct authority except at the Temple and at the highest court of appeals.
