Joshua 18 :: New American Standard Bible 1995 (NASB95)

Rest of the Land Divided

Jos 18:1Then the whole congregation of the sons of Israel assembled themselves at Shiloh, and set up the tent of meeting there; and the land was subdued before them.

Jos 18:2

Jos 18:2There remained among the sons of Israel seven tribes who had not divided their inheritance.

Jos 18:3

Jos 18:3So Joshua said to the sons of Israel, “How long will you put off entering to take possession of the land which the LORD, the God of your fathers, has given you?

Jos 18:4

Jos 18:4“Provide for yourselves three men from [fn]each tribe that I may send them, and that they may arise and walk through the land and write a description of it according to their inheritance; then they shall [fn]return to me.

Jos 18:5

Jos 18:5“They shall divide it into seven portions; Judah shall stay in its territory on the south, and the house of Joseph shall stay in their territory on the north.

Jos 18:6

Jos 18:6“You shall describe the land in seven divisions, and bring the description here to me. I will cast lots for you here before the LORD our God.

Jos 18:7

Jos 18:7“For the Levites have no portion among you, because the priesthood of the LORD is [fn]their inheritance. Gad and Reuben and the half-tribe of Manasseh also have received their inheritance eastward beyond the Jordan, which Moses the servant of the LORD gave them.”

Jos 18:8

Jos 18:8Then the men arose and went, and Joshua commanded those who went to describe the land, saying, “Go and walk through the land and describe it, and return to me; then I will cast lots for you here before the LORD in Shiloh.”

Jos 18:9

Jos 18:9So the men went and passed through the land, and described it by cities in seven divisions in a book; and they came to Joshua to the camp at Shiloh.

Jos 18:14

Jos 18:14The border extended from there and turned round on the west side southward, from the hill which lies before Beth-horon southward; and [fn]it ended at Kiriath-baal (that is, Kiriath-jearim), a city of the sons of Judah. This was the west side.
