Joshua 18:2-7

2there were stillH3498 sevenH7651 tribesH7626 of IsraelH1121H3478 whoH834 had notH3808 yet receivedH2505 their inheritanceH5159.

3So JoshuaH3091 saidH559 toH413 the IsraelitesH1121H3478, “How longH5704H575 will youH859 put offH7503 enteringH935 and possessingH3423 the landH776 thatH834 the LORDH3068, the GodH430 of your fathersH1, has givenH5414 you? 4AppointH3051 threeH7969 menH582 from each tribeH7626, and I will send them outH7971H6965 to surveyH1980 the landH776 and map it outH3789, according toH6310 the inheritance of eachH5159. Then they will returnH935 to meH413 5and divideH2505 the land into sevenH7651 portionsH2506. JudahH3063 shall remainH5975 inH5921 their territoryH1366 in the southH5045, and the houseH1004 of JosephH3130 shall remainH5975 inH5921 their territoryH1366 in the northH6828. 6When youH859 have mapped outH3789 the sevenH7651 portionsH2506 of landH776 and broughtH935 it to meH413H2008, I will castH3384 lotsH1486 for you hereH6311 in the presenceH6440 of the LORDH3068 our GodH430.

7The LevitesH3881, howeverH3588, have noH369 portionH2506 among youH7130, becauseH3588 their inheritanceH5159 is the priesthoodH3550 of the LORDH3068. And GadH1410, ReubenH7205, and halfH2677 the tribeH7626 of ManassehH4519 have already receivedH3947 the inheritanceH5159 thatH834 MosesH4872 the servantH5650 of the LORDH3068 gaveH5414 them beyondH5676 the JordanH3383 to the eastH4217.”
