1 Now these are the portions that the Israelites (God prevails) inherited in the land of Canaan (lowland), as distributed by Eleazar (God has helped) the priest, Joshua (YHWH saves) son of Nun (fish / posterity), and the heads of the families of the tribes of Israel. 2 Their inheritance was assigned by lot for the nine and a half tribes, as the LORD {YHWH} had commanded through Moses (drawn out). 3 For Moses (drawn out) had given the inheritance east of the Jordan (flowing down) to the other two and a half tribes. But he granted no inheritance among them to the Levites. 4 The descendants of Joseph (YHWH has added) became two tribes, Manasseh (causing to forget) and Ephraim (doubly fruitful). And no portion of the land was given to the Levites, except for cities in which to live, along with pasturelands for their flocks and herds. Joshua 14:1-4, Berean Annotated Bible. Public domain.
