Joshua 14:1-5

Lexham English Bible

The Land Allotted West of the Jordan

14 These are the territories that the Israelites^[a] inherited in the land of Canaan, which Eleazar the priest, Joshua son of Nun, and the heads of the families of the tribes of the Israelites^[b] gave as an inheritance to them. ² Their inheritance was by lot, just as Yahweh commanded through the hand of Moses, for the nine tribes and the half-tribe. ³ For Moses had given an inheritance of the two tribes and the half-tribe beyond the Jordan, but to the Levites he gave no inheritance among them. ⁴ For the descendants^[c] of Joseph were two tribes, Manasseh and Ephraim, and they did not give a plot of ground to the Levites in the land, only cities to live in, with their pastureland for their flocks and for their goods. ⁵ Just as Yahweh commanded Moses, so the Israelites^[d] did; and they allotted the land.
