Joshua 18:4-8 ▼

4 Pick three men from each tribe. I will send them out to walk through the land and make a map of it for me.

5 Divide it into seven regions. Judah will stay in its territory in the south, and the family of Joseph in its territory in the north.

6 But as for you, map out the land into seven regions and bring it to me. I will draw lots for you here before the LORD our God.

7 But the Levites will not have an allotted portion among you, for their inheritance is to serve the LORD. Gad, Reuben, and the half-tribe of Manasseh have already received their allotted land east of the Jordan which Moses the LORD's servant assigned them.|

8 When the men started out, Joshua told those going to map out the land, |Go, walk through the land, map it out, and return to me. Then I will draw lots for you before the LORD here in Shiloh.|
