Joshua 18:6-8
Amplified Bible
6 You shall describe the land in seven divisions, and bring the description here to me. I will cast lots for you here [a]before the Lord our God. 7 But the Levites have no portion among you, because the priesthood of the Lord is [b]their inheritance. Gad and Reuben and half the tribe of Manasseh also have received their inheritance eastward beyond the Jordan, which Moses the servant of the Lord gave them.”
8 So the men arose and went [on their way], and Joshua commanded those who went to describe the land, saying, “Go and walk throughout the land and describe it, and return to me; and I will cast lots for you here before the Lord in Shiloh.”
