Joshua:18:1-10
Seeker Overlay ON
*
And the whole congregation of the children of Israel assembled together at Shiloh ,
and set up there the tabernacle of the congregation .
And the land was subdued before them .
*
And there remained among the children of Israel ,
that had not yet received their inheritance ,
seven tribes .
*
And Joshua said unto the children of Israel ,
How long will ye show yourselves slack to go to take possession of the land ,
which the Lord the God of your fathers hath given to you !
*
Furnish for yourselves three men for each tribe ;
and I will send them out ,
and they shall arise ,
and walk through the land ,
and describe it according to their inheritance ,
and come again to me .
*
And they shall divide it into seven parts :
Judah shall remain on his boundary at the south ,
and the house of Joseph shall remain on their boundary at the north .
*
But you shall make a description of the land in seven parts ,
and bring it hither to me ;
and I will cast the lot for you here ,
before the Lord our God .
*
For to the Levites there is no portion among you ;
for the priesthood of the Lord is their inheritance ;
and Gad ,
and Reuben ,
and half the tribe of Menasseh have already received their inheritance beyond the Jordan ,
at the east ,
which Moses the servant of the Lord gave to them .
*
And the men arose ,
and went away ;
and Joshua charged those that went to describe the land ,
saying ,
Go and walk through the land ,
and describe it ,
and return again to me ;
and here will I cast the lot for you before the Lord ,
in Shiloh .
*
And the men went and passed through the land ,
and described it according to the cities in seven parts in a book ;
and they came again to Joshua to the camp at Shiloh .
*
And Joshua cast the lot for them in Shiloh before the Lord ;
and Joshua divided there the land unto the children of Israel according to their divisions .
