Joshua 18:4-8 ▼

4 Appoint from among you? three men for the tribe, and I will send them, and they shall rise and go through the land and survey it according to their inheritance, and they shall come to me.

5 And they shall divide it into seven parts. Judah shall remain in their territory on the south, and the house of Joseph shall remain in their territory on the north.

6 And you? shall write down the land in seven portions and bring it to me here, that I may cast for you? lots here before the face of YHWH our God.

7 But no portion is for the Levites in your? midst, for the priesthood of YHWH is their inheritance. And Gad and Reuben and the half-tribe of Manasseh have received their inheritance beyond the Jordan on the east, which Moses the servant of YHWH gave them.”

8 And the men arose and went, and Joshua commanded those who went to write down the land, saying, “Go and walk up and down in the land, and describe it, and return to me, and here I will cast for you? lots before the face of YHWH in Shiloh.”
