2 And there are seven tribes left among the sons of Israel who have not shared their inheritance,

3 and Joshua says to the sons of Israel, “Until when are you remiss to go in to possess the land which He, YHWH, God of your fathers, has given to you?

4 Give three men from you for [each] tribe, and I send them, and they rise and go up and down through the land, and describe it according to their inheritance, and come to me,

5 and they have divided it into seven portions—Judah stays by its border on the south, and the house of Joseph stays by their border on the north—

6 and you describe the land [in] seven portions, and have brought [it] to me here, and I have cast a lot for you here before our God YHWH;
