1 Then the whole congregation of Bnei-Yisrael assembled at Shiloh and set up the Tent of Meeting there, after the land was now subdued before them.
2 Yet there remained among Bnei-Yisrael seven tribes that still had not received their portions.
3 So Joshua said to Bnei-Yisrael, “How long will you be slack about going in to possess the land which Adonai, the God of your fathers, has given you?
4 Appoint for yourselves three men from each tribe, and I will send them, and they will arise and walk through the land, and describe it according to their inheritance, and then return to me.
5 They are to divide it into seven portions: Judah will remain within its territory in the south, and the house of Joseph will remain within their territory in the north.
6 After you have described the seven portions of land, bring the description here to me. Then I will cast lots for you here before Adonai our God.
