Joshua 14:1-5

1This is the land that the people of Israel inherited in Canaan. The priest Eleazar, Joshua (son of Nun), and the heads of Israel’s tribes distributed it to the people.

2The land inherited by the nine-and-a-half tribes was determined by drawing lots as the Lord had commanded through Moses.

3Moses had given the two-and-a-half tribes their inheritance east of the Jordan River. He did not give any land as an inheritance to Levi’s tribe,

4because Joseph’s descendants, Manasseh and Ephraim, formed two tribes. The Levites were not given a share of the land. Joseph’s descendants gave the Levites cities to live in with pasturelands for their cattle and everything they had.

5So the people of Israel divided the land as the Lord had commanded Moses.
