1. And the whole congregation of the sons of Israel assembled together at Shiloh and set up the tabernacle of the testimony there after the land was subdued before them.
2. And there remained among the sons of Israel seven tribes who had not yet received their inheritance.
3. And Joshua said unto the sons of Israel, How long shall ye be negligent to go to possess the land, which the Lord God of your fathers has given you?
4. Indicate from among you three men for each tribe that I may send them and let them arise and walk through the land and draw it according to its inheritances; and they shall return unto me.
