4. Let me have three men from each tribe. I will send them out over the whole country to map out the territory that they would like to have as their possession. Then they are to come back to me.
5. The land will be divided among them in seven parts; Judah will stay in its territory in the south, and Joseph in its territory in the north.
6. Write down a description of these seven divisions and bring it to me. Then I will draw lots to consult the Lord our God for you.
7. The Levites, however, will not receive a share of the land with the rest of you, because their share is to serve as the Lord's priests. And of course, the tribes of Gad, Reuben, and East Manasseh have already received their land east of the Jordan, which Moses, the Lord's servant, gave to them.”
