Joshua 18:6-10 New English Translation (NET)

6. But as for you, map out the land into seven regions and bring it to me. I will draw lots for you here before the Lord our God.

7. But the Levites will not have an allotted portion among you, for their inheritance is to serve the Lord. Gad, Reuben, and the half-tribe of Manasseh have already received their allotted land east of the Jordan which Moses the Lord’s servant assigned them.”

8. When the men started out, Joshua told those going to map out the land, “Go, walk through the land, map it out, and return to me. Then I will draw lots for you before the Lord here in Shiloh.”

9. The men journeyed through the land and mapped it and its cities out into seven regions on a scroll. Then they came to Joshua at the camp in Shiloh.

10. Joshua drew lots for them in Shiloh before the Lord and divided the land among the Israelites according to their allotted portions.
