*
The whole congregation of the children of Israel assembled themselves together at Shiloh ,
and set up the Tent of Meeting there .
The land was subdued before them .
*
Seven tribes remained among the children of Israel ,
which had not yet divided their inheritance .
*
Joshua said to the children of Israel , "
How long will you neglect to go in to possess the land ,
which Yahweh ,
the God of your fathers ,
has given you ?
*
Appoint for yourselves three men from each tribe .
I will send them ,
and they shall arise ,
walk through the land ,
and describe it according to their inheritance ;
and they shall come to me .
*
They shall divide it into seven portions .
Judah shall live in his borders on the south ,
and the house of Joseph shall live in their borders on the north .
*
You shall survey the land into seven parts ,
and bring the description here to me ;
and I will cast lots for you here before Yahweh our God .
*
For the Levites have no portion among you ;
for the priesthood of Yahweh is their inheritance .
Gad ,
Reuben ,
and the half-tribe of Manasseh have received their inheritance beyond the Jordan eastward ,
which Moses the servant of Yahweh gave them ."
*
The men arose and went .
Joshua commanded those who went to survey the land ,
saying , "
Go walk through the land ,
survey it ,
and come again to me .
I will cast lots for you here before Yahweh in Shiloh ."
*
The men went and passed through the land ,
and surveyed it by cities into seven portions in a book .
They came to Joshua to the camp at Shiloh .
*
Joshua cast lots for them in Shiloh before Yahweh .
There Joshua divided the land to the children of Israel according to their divisions .
