Joshua 18:1-7

¹And all the sons of Israel were gathered in Shiloh, and there they setted fast or pitched the tabernacle of witnessing; and the land was subject to them.

²And seven lineages of the sons of Israel dwelt there, that had not yet taken their possessions.

³To the which Joshua said, How long fade ye, or wallow through sloth, and enter not to wield the land, which the Lord God of your fathers hath given to you?

⁴Choose ye of each lineage three men, that I send them, and they go, and compass the land; and that they describe the land by the number of each multitude, and bring to me that, that ye have described.

⁵Part ye the land to you into seven parts; Judah be in his terms at the south coast, and the house of Joseph at the north;

⁶describe ye the middle land betwixt them into seven parts; and then ye shall come to me, that I send lot to you here before your Lord God;

⁷for the part of Levites is not among you, but the priesthood of the Lord, this is the heritage of them. For Gad, and Reuben, and the half lineage of Manasseh, have taken now their possession beyond Jordan, at the east coast, which Moses, the servant of the Lord, gave to them.
