Joshua 18:6-11
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(A) for you here in the presence of the Lord our God.(B) 7 But the Levites among you do not get a portion, because their inheritance is the priesthood of the Lord.(C) 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.” 9 So the men left, went through the land, and described it by towns in a document of seven sections. They returned to Joshua at the camp in Shiloh. 10 Joshua cast lots for them at Shiloh in the presence of the Lord where he distributed the land to the Israelites according to their divisions.
