Joshua 18:6–11

⁶When you have written a description of the seven portions of land and brought it to me, I will cast lots^d for you here in the presence of the Lord our God.^{e 7}But the Levites among you do not get a portion, because their inheritance is the priesthood of the Lord.^f Gad, Reuben, and half the tribe of Manasseh have taken their inheritance beyond the Jordan to the east, which Moses the Lord’s servant gave them.”

⁸As the men prepared to go, Joshua commanded them^A to write down a description of the land, saying, “Go and survey the land, write a description of it, and return to me. I will then cast lots for you here in Shiloh in the presence of the Lord.” ⁹So the men left, went through the land, and described it by towns in a document of seven sections. They returned to Joshua at the camp in Shiloh. ¹⁰Joshua cast lots for them at Shiloh in the presence of the Lord where he distributed the land to the Israelites according to their divisions.

BENJAMIN’S INHERITANCE

¹¹The lot came up for the tribe of Benjamin’s descendants by their clans, and their allotted territory lay between Judah’s descendants and Joseph’s descendants.
