Joshua 18:2-9
2And there remained among the children of Israel seven tribes whose inheritance had not been distributed to them.
3And Joshua said to the children of Israel, How long will ye shew yourselves slack to go to take possession of the land which Jehovah the 1God of your fathers hath given you?
4Provide you three men for a tribe; that I may send them, and they shall rise and go through the land, and describe it according to the proportion of their inheritance, and they shall come to me.
5And they shall divide it into seven portions. Judah shall remain in their border on the south, and the house of Joseph shall remain in their border on the north;
6and ye shall describe the land into seven portions, and bring [the description] hither to me, and I will cast lots for you here before Jehovah our 2God.
7But the Levites have no portion among you, for the priesthood of Jehovah is their inheritance. And Gad, and Reuben, and half the tribe of Manasseh have received their inheritance beyond the Jordan on the east, which Moses the servant of Jehovah gave them.
8And the men arose and went away. And Joshua charged them that went to describe the land, saying, Go and walk through the land, and describe it, and come again to me, and I will cast lots for you here before Jehovah in Shiloh.
9And the men went and passed through the land, and described it by cities into seven portions, in a book, and they came to Joshua, to the camp at Shiloh.
