14. For the tribe of the Reubenites and the tribe of the Gadites have received their inheritance according to their ancestral houses, and half the tribe of Manasseh has received its inheritance.

15. The two and a half tribes have received their inheritance across the Jordan from Jericho, eastward toward the sunrise.”

17. “These are the names of the men who are to distribute the land as an inheritance for you: Eleazar the priest and Joshua son of Nun.

18. Take one leader from each tribe to distribute the land.
