⁶Describe the land in seven divisions, and bring it to me here; I will cast lots for you here before Yahweh our God. ⁷The Levites among you have no portion, for their inheritance is the priesthood of Yahweh; Gad, Reuben, and the half-tribe of Manasseh received their inheritance beyond the Jordan to the east, which Moses Yahweh’s servant gave to them.”

⁸And the men went immediately,^k and Joshua commanded the ones going to describe the land, saying, “Go and walk about through the land, write a description, and return to me, and here I will cast a lot for you before^l Yahweh at Shiloh.” ⁹And the men went and passed through the land, and they described^m the cities in seven divisions in a book; and they came to Joshua to the camp at Shiloh, ¹⁰and Joshua cast a lot for them at Shiloh beforeⁿ Yahweh, and there he divided the land for the Israelites,^o to each a portion.^p
