1 Then the whole congregation of Israel (he wrestles with God) assembled at Shiloh (place of rest) and set up the Tent of Meeting there. And though the land was subdued before them, 2 there were still seven tribes of Israel (he wrestles with God) who had not yet received their inheritance. 3 So Joshua (YHWH saves) said to the Israelites (God prevails), “How long will you⁺ put off entering and possessing the land that the LORD, the God {YHWH Elohe} of your⁺ fathers, has given you⁺? 4 Appoint three men from each tribe, and I will send them out to survey the land and map it out, according to the inheritance of each. Then they will return to me 5 and divide the land into seven portions. Judah (praised) shall remain in their territory in the south, and the house of Joseph (YHWH has added) shall remain in their territory in the north. 6 When you⁺ have mapped out the seven portions of land and brought it to me, I will cast lots for you⁺ here in the presence of the LORD our God {YHWH Elohenu}.
