Joshua 18:6-10

New American Standard Bible

⁶ And you shall write a description of the land in seven divisions, and bring the description here to me. ^(A)Then I will cast lots for you here before the Lord our God. ⁷ For ^(B)the Levites have no portion among you, because the priesthood of the Lord is ^[a]their inheritance. Gad, Reuben, and the half-tribe of Manasseh also have received their inheritance eastward beyond the Jordan, which Moses the servant of the Lord gave them.”

⁸ Then the men arose and went, and Joshua commanded those who went to write a description of the land, saying, “Go and walk through the land and write a description of it, and return to me; then I will cast lots for you here before the Lord in ^(C)Shiloh.” ⁹ So the men went and passed through the land, and wrote a description of it by cities in seven divisions in a book; and they came to Joshua at the camp at Shiloh. ^10 (D)Joshua then cast lots for them in Shiloh before the Lord, and there Joshua divided the land for the sons of Israel according to their divisions.
