How long will you be slack about going in and taking possession of the land that the LORD, the God of your ancestors, has given you? Provide three men from each tribe, and I will send them out that they may begin to go throughout the land, writing a description of it with a view to their inheritances. Then come back to me They shall divide it into seven portions, Judah continuing in its territory on the south, and the house of Joseph in their territory on the north You shall describe the land in seven divisions and bring the description here to me; and I will cast lots for you here before the LORD our God The Levites have no portion among you, for the priesthood of the LORD is their heritage; and Gad and Reuben and the half-tribe of Manasseh have received their inheritance beyond the Jordan eastward, which Moses the servant of the LORD gave them
