The Inheritance Beyond the Jordan

14 Now these are the territories which the sons of Israel inherited in the land of Canaan, which ^(A)Eleazar the priest and Joshua the son of Nun and the heads of the ^[a]households of the tribes of the sons of Israel apportioned to them for an inheritance, ² by the ^(B)lot of their inheritance, as Yahweh commanded by the hand of Moses, for the nine tribes and the half-tribe. ³ For ^(C)Moses had given the inheritance of the two tribes and the half-tribe beyond the Jordan; but ^(D)he did not give an inheritance to the Levites among them. ⁴ For the sons of Joseph were two tribes, ^(E)Manasseh and Ephraim, and they did not give a portion to the Levites in the land, except cities to live in, with their pasture lands for their livestock and for their property. ⁵ Thus the sons of Israel did just ^(F)as Yahweh had commanded Moses, and they divided the land.
