1 All of the Israelites gathered together at Shiloh where they set up the Meeting Tent. The land was now under their control.
2 But there were still seven tribes of Israel that had not yet received their land.
3 So Joshua said to the Israelites: “Why do you wait so long to take your land? The Lord, the God of your ancestors, has given this land to you.
4 Choose three men from each tribe, and I will send them out to study the land. They will describe in writing the land their tribe wants as its share, and then they will come back to me.
