Joshua 18:3-5

EasyEnglish Bible

³ Joshua said to them, ‘The Lord, the God of your ancestors, has given you the land. How much longer will you wait before you take it? ⁴ Choose three men from each tribe. I will send them to look at the whole land, to see what it is like. They must describe each part and then bring a report back to me. ⁵ You must make it into seven parts. Judah's tribe will keep the land in the south. Joseph's two tribes will keep their land in the north.^[a] Divide the rest of the land into seven parts.
