Joshua 18:2-8
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 18
2
But there remained among the sons of Israel seven tribes who had not divided their inheritance.
3
So 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?
4
Provide for yourselves three men from each tribe so 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 return to me.
5
And 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.
6
And you shall write
a description of
the land in seven divisions, and bring
the description
here to me. Then I will cast lots for you here before the
Lord
our God.
7
For the Levites have no portion among you, because the priesthood of the
Lord
is their inheritance. Gad, 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.'
8
Then the men arose and went, and Joshua commanded those who went to write
a description of
the land, saying, 'Go and walk through the land and write
a description of
it, and return to me; then I will cast lots for you here before the
Lord
in Shiloh.'
King James Version
Chapter 18
2
And there remained among the children of Israel seven tribes, which had not yet received their inheritance.
3
And Joshua said unto the children of Israel, How long are ye slack to go to possess the land, which the
Lord
God of your fathers hath given you?
4
Give out from among you three men for each tribe: and I will send them, and they shall rise, and go through the land, and describe it according to the inheritance of them; and they shall come again to me.
5
And they shall divide it into seven parts: Judah shall abide in their coast on the south, and the house of Joseph shall abide in their coasts on the north.
6
Ye shall therefore describe the land into seven parts, and bring the description hither to me, that I may cast lots for you here before the
Lord
our God.
7
But the Levites have no part among you; for the priesthood of the
Lord
is their inheritance: and Gad, and Reuben, and half the tribe of Manasseh, have received their inheritance beyond Jordan on the east, which Moses the servant of the
Lord
gave them.
8
And the men arose, and went away: and Joshua charged them that went to describe the land, saying, Go and walk through the land, and describe it, and come again to me, that I may here cast lots for you before the
Lord
in Shiloh.

Chapter 18
2
but seven tribes among the Israelites were left who had not divided up their inheritance.
3
So Joshua asked the Israelites, "How long will you delay going out to take possession of the land that the
Lord
, the God of your fathers, gave you?
4
Appoint for yourselves three men from each tribe, and I will send them out. They are to go and survey the land, write a description of it for the purpose of their inheritance, and return to me.
5
Then they are to divide it into seven portions. Judah is to remain in its territory in the south and Joseph’s family in their territory in the north.
6
When you have written a description of the seven portions of land and brought it to me, I will cast lots for you here in the presence of the
Lord
our God.
7
But the Levites among you do not get a portion, because their inheritance is the priesthood of the
Lord
. Gad, Reuben, and half the tribe of Manasseh have taken their inheritance beyond the Jordan to the east, which Moses the
Lord
’s servant gave them."
8
As the men prepared to go, Joshua commanded them to write down a description of the land, saying, "Go and survey the land, write a description of it, and return to me. I will then cast lots for you here in Shiloh in the presence of the
Lord
."
New Living Translation
Chapter 18
2
But there remained seven tribes who had not yet been allotted their grants of land.
3
Then Joshua asked them, 'How long are you going to wait before taking possession of the remaining land the
Lord
, the God of your ancestors, has given to you?
4
Select three men from each tribe, and I will send them out to explore the land and map it out. They will then return to me with a written report of their proposed divisions of their new homeland.
5
Let them divide the land into seven sections, excluding Judah’s territory in the south and Joseph’s territory in the north.
6
And when you record the seven divisions of the land and bring them to me, I will cast sacred lots in the presence of the
Lord
our God to assign land to each tribe.
7
The Levites, however, will not receive any allotment of land. Their role as priests of the
Lord
is their allotment. And the tribes of Gad, Reuben, and the half-tribe of Manasseh won’t receive any more land, for they have already received their grant of land, which Moses, the servant of the
Lord
, gave them on the east side of the Jordan River.'
8
As the men started on their way to map out the land, Joshua commanded them, 'Go and explore the land and write a description of it. Then return to me, and I will assign the land to the tribes by casting sacred lots here in the presence of the
Lord
at Shiloh.'
English Standard Version
Chapter 18
2
There remained among the people of Israel seven tribes whose inheritance had not yet been apportioned.
3
So Joshua said to the people of Israel, "How long will you put off going in to take possession of the land, which the
Lord
, the God of your fathers, has given you?
4
Provide three men from each tribe, and I will send them out that they may set out and go up and down the land. They shall write a description of it with a view to their inheritances, and then come to me.
5
They shall divide it into seven portions. Judah shall continue in his territory on the south, and the house of Joseph shall continue in their territory on the north.
6
And you shall describe the land in seven divisions and bring the description here to me. And I will cast lots for you here before the
Lord
our God.
7
The Levites have no portion among you, for the priesthood of the
Lord
is their heritage. And Gad and Reuben and half the tribe of Manasseh have received their inheritance beyond the Jordan eastward, which Moses the servant of the
Lord
gave them."
8
So the men arose and went, and Joshua charged those who went to write the description of the land, saying, "Go up and down in the land and write a description and return to me. And I will cast lots for you here before the
Lord
in Shiloh."
New International Version
Chapter 18
2
but there were still seven Israelite tribes who had not yet received their inheritance.
3
So Joshua said to the Israelites: "How long will you wait before you begin to take possession of the land that the
Lord
, the God of your ancestors, has given you?
4
Appoint three men from each tribe. I will send them out to make a survey of the land and to write a description of it, according to the inheritance of each. Then they will return to me.
5
You are to divide the land into seven parts. Judah is to remain in its territory on the south and the tribes of Joseph in their territory on the north.
6
After you have written descriptions of the seven parts of the land, bring them here to me and I will cast lots for you in the presence of the
Lord
our God.
7
The Levites, however, do not get a portion among you, because the priestly service of the
Lord
is their inheritance. And Gad, Reuben and the half-tribe of Manasseh have already received their inheritance on the east side of the Jordan. Moses the servant of the
Lord
gave it to them."
8
As the men started on their way to map out the land, Joshua instructed them, "Go and make a survey of the land and write a description of it. Then return to me, and I will cast lots for you here at Shiloh in the presence of the
Lord
."
New King James Version
Chapter 18
2
But there remained among the children of Israel seven tribes which had not yet received their inheritance.
3
Then Joshua said to the children of Israel: “How long will you neglect to go and possess the land which the
Lord
God of your fathers has given you?
4
Pick out from among you three men for
each
tribe, and I will send them; they shall rise and go through the land, survey it according to their inheritance, and come
back
to me.
5
And they shall divide it into seven parts. Judah shall remain in their territory on the south, and the house of Joseph shall remain in their territory on the north.
6
You shall therefore survey the land in seven parts and bring
the survey
here to me, that I may cast lots for you here before the
Lord
our God.
7
But the Levites have no part among you, for the priesthood of the
Lord
is
their inheritance. And Gad, Reuben, and half the tribe of Manasseh have received their inheritance beyond the Jordan on the east, which Moses the servant of the
Lord
gave them.”
8
Then the men arose to go away; and Joshua charged those who went to survey the land, saying, “Go, walk through the land, survey it, and come back to me, that I may cast lots for you here before the
Lord
in Shiloh.”
