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.

Dividing up Canaan
14 The Israelites received these inheritances in the land of Canaan. Eleazar the priest, Joshua son of Nun, and the heads of the families of the Israelite tribes assigned them. 2 Their legacy was assigned by lot, exactly as the Lord had commanded the nine and a half tribes through Moses. 3 In fact, Moses had given out the legacy of the two and a half tribes on the other side of the Jordan. But he gave no legacy among them to the Levites. 4 The people of Joseph consisted of two tribes, Manasseh and Ephraim. The Levites weren’t given any portion of the land, except cities to live in and pastureland for their cattle and flocks. 5 The Israelites divided up the land exactly as the Lord had commanded Moses.
