Joshua 18:6-8

International Standard Version

⁶ Lay out the land in seven divisions, then bring your report^[a] here to me. I will then cast lots in the presence of the Lord our God. ⁷ The descendants of Levi have no allotment among you, since the priesthood of the Lord is their inheritance. Gad, Reuben, and the half-tribe of Manasseh received their inheritance to the east, beyond the Jordan River given to them by Moses the servant of the Lord.”

⁸ So the men started out, following Joshua’s command to those who went to scout the land, “Go through the land and record a description of it, and then return to me. I will then cast lots in the presence of the Lord your God in Shiloh.”
