Ye shall describe the land therefore into seven parts, and shall bring them hither to me, and I will cast lots for you here before the [a]Lord our God.

But the Levites shall have no part among you: for the [b]Priesthood of the Lord is their inheritance: also Gad and Reuben and half the tribe of Manasseh have received their inheritance beyond Jordan Eastward, which Moses the servant of the Lord gave them.
