Joshua 14:3-5
New Catholic Bible
3 Moses had given the inheritance to the two and one-half tribes on the other side of the Jordan. The Levites were not given an inheritance among them.
4 The descendants of Joseph belonged to two tribes: Manasseh and Ephraim. The Levites were not given an inheritance in the land, only cities in which they could dwell along with their pastures for their herds and their flocks. 5 The Israelites divided the land just as the Lord had commanded Moses.[a]
