1. The remaining tribes of Israel received land in Canaan as allotted by Eleazar the priest, Joshua son of Nun, and the tribal leaders.
2. These nine and a half tribes received their grants of land by means of sacred lots, in accordance with the lord’s command through Moses.
3. Moses had already given a grant of land to the two and a half tribes on the east side of the Jordan River, but he had given the Levites no such allotment.
4. The descendants of Joseph had become two separate tribes—Manasseh and Ephraim. And the Levites were given no land at all, only towns to live in with surrounding pasturelands for their livestock and all their possessions.
5. So the land was distributed in strict accordance with the lord’s commands to Moses.
6. A delegation from the tribe of Judah, led by Caleb son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite, came to Joshua at Gilgal. Caleb said to Joshua, “Remember what the lord said to Moses, the man of God, about you and me when we were at Kadesh-barnea.
