The Remainder of the Land Divided

18 Now the whole congregation of the children of Israel assembled together ^(A)at Shiloh, and ^(B)set up the tabernacle of meeting there. And the land was subdued before them. ² But there remained among the children of Israel seven tribes which had not yet received their inheritance.

³ Then Joshua said to the children of Israel: ^(C)“How long will you neglect to go and possess the land which the Lord God of your fathers has given you? ⁴ Pick out from among you three men for each tribe, and I will send them; they shall rise and go through the land, survey it according to their inheritance, and come back to me. ⁵ And they shall divide it into seven parts. ^(D)Judah shall remain in their territory on the south, and the ^(E)house of Joseph shall remain in their territory on the north. ⁶ You shall therefore ^[a]survey the land in seven parts and bring the survey here to me, ^(F)that I may cast lots for you here before the Lord our God. ^7 (G)But the Levites have no part among you, for the priesthood of the Lord is their inheritance. ^(H)And Gad, Reuben, and half the tribe of Manasseh have received their inheritance beyond the Jordan on the east, which Moses the servant of the Lord gave them.”

⁸ Then the men arose to go away; and Joshua charged those who went to ^[b]survey the land, saying, “Go, walk ^(I)through the land, survey it, and come back to me, that I may cast lots for you here before the Lord in Shiloh.” ⁹ So the men went, passed through the land, and ^[c]wrote the survey in a book in seven parts by cities; and they came to Joshua at the camp in Shiloh. ¹⁰ Then Joshua cast ^(J)lots for them in Shiloh before the Lord, and there ^(K)Joshua divided the land to the children of Israel according to their ^[d]divisions.
