¹³ So Moses commanded the sons of Israel, saying, “^(A)This is the land that you are to possess by lot, which the Lord has commanded to give to the nine and a half tribes.

¹⁶ Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, ¹⁷ “^(A)These are the names of the men who shall assign the land to you as an inheritance: Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun. ¹⁸ And you shall take one leader of each tribe to assign the land as an inheritance. ¹⁹ These are the names of the men: of the tribe of ^(B)Judah, ^(C)Caleb the son of Jephunneh. ²⁰ Of the tribe of the sons of ^(D)Simeon, Samuel the son of Ammihud. ²¹ Of the tribe of ^(E)Benjamin, Elidad the son of Chislon. ²² And of the tribe of the sons of Dan, a leader, Bukki the son of Jogli. ²³ Of the sons of Joseph: of the tribe of the sons of Manasseh, a leader, Hanniel the son of Ephod. ²⁴ Of the tribe of the sons of Ephraim, a leader, Kemuel the son of Shiphtan. ²⁵ Of the tribe of the sons of Zebulun, a leader, Elizaphan the son of Parnach. ²⁶ Of the tribe of the sons of Issachar, a leader, Paltiel the son of Azzan. ²⁷ Of the tribe of the sons of Asher, a leader, Ahihud the son of Shelomi. ²⁸ Of the tribe of the sons of Naphtali, a leader, Pedahel the son of Ammihud.” ²⁹ These are the ones whom the Lord commanded to apportion the inheritance to the sons of Israel in the land of Canaan.

⁴ Provide for yourselves three men from ^[a]each tribe so that I may send them, and that they may arise and walk through the land and write a description of it according to their inheritance; then they shall ^[b]return to me.

^10 (A)Joshua then cast lots for them in Shiloh before the Lord, and there Joshua divided the land for the sons of Israel according to their divisions.
