Joshua 14:1-5

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

The Distribution of Territory West of the Jordan

14 These are the inheritances that the Israelites received in the land of Canaan, which the priest Eleazar, and Joshua son of Nun, and the heads of the families of the tribes of the Israelites distributed to them.^{(A) 2} Their inheritance was by lot, as the Lord had commanded Moses for the nine and one-half tribes.^{(B) 3} For Moses had given an inheritance to the two and one-half tribes beyond the Jordan, but to the Levites he gave no inheritance among them.^{(C) 4} For the people of Joseph were two tribes, Manasseh and Ephraim, and no portion was given to the Levites in the land but only towns to live in, with their pasturelands for their flocks and herds.^{(D) 5} The Israelites did as the Lord had commanded Moses; they allotted the land.
