New English Translation
8 When the men started out, Joshua told those going to map out the land, “Go, walk through the land, map it out, and return to me. Then I will draw lots for you before the Lord here in Shiloh.” 9 The men journeyed[a] through the land and mapped it and its cities out into seven regions on a scroll. Then they came to Joshua at the camp in Shiloh. 10 Joshua drew lots for them in Shiloh before the Lord and divided the land among the Israelites according to their allotted portions.

Joshua 18:8-10
New International Version
8 As the men started on their way to map out the land, Joshua instructed them, “Go and make a survey of the land and write a description of it.(A) Then return to me, and I will cast lots for you here at Shiloh(B) in the presence of the Lord.” 9 So the men left and went through the land. They wrote its description on a scroll, town by town, in seven parts, and returned to Joshua in the camp at Shiloh. 10 Joshua then cast lots(C) for them in Shiloh in the presence(D) of the Lord, and there he distributed the land to the Israelites according to their tribal divisions.(E)
