Joshua 18:6-8

Holman Christian Standard Bible

⁶ When you have written a description of the seven portions of land and brought it to me, I will cast lots for you here in the presence of the Lord our God.^{(A) 7} But the Levites among you do not get a portion, because their inheritance is the priesthood of the Lord.^(B) Gad, Reuben, and half the tribe of Manasseh have taken their inheritance beyond the Jordan to the east, which Moses the Lord’s servant gave them.”

⁸ As the men prepared to go, Joshua commanded them^[a] to write down a description of the land, saying, “Go and survey the land, write a description of it, and return to me. I will then cast lots for you here in Shiloh in the presence of the Lord.”
