and they who are in the valley of Jezreel.
017:017 Joshua spoke to the house of Joseph, even to Ephraim and
to Manasseh, saying, You are a great people, and have great power;
you shall not have one lot only:
017:018 but the hill country shall be yours; for though it is a forest,
you shall cut it down, and the goings out of it shall be yours;
for you shall drive out the Canaanites, though they have
chariots of iron, and though they are strong.
018:001 The whole congregation of the children of Israel assembled themselves
together at Shiloh, and set up the tent of meeting there:
and the land was subdued before them.
018:002 There remained among the children of Israel seven tribes,
which had not yet divided their inheritance.
018:003 Joshua said to the children of Israel, How long are you slack to go
in to possess the land, which Yahweh, the God of your fathers,
has given you?
018:004 Appoint for you three men of each tribe: and I will send them,
and they shall arise, and walk through the land, and describe
it according to their inheritance; and they shall come to me.
018:005 They shall divide it into seven portions: Judah shall abide
in his border on the south, and the house of Joseph shall
abide in their border on the north.
018:006 You shall describe the land into seven portions, and bring
[the description] here to me; and I will cast lots for you
here before Yahweh our God.
018:007 For the Levites have no portion among you; for the priesthood
of Yahweh is their inheritance: and Gad and Reuben and
the half-tribe of Manasseh have received their inheritance
beyond the Jordan eastward, which Moses the servant of
Yahweh gave them.
018:008 The men arose, and went: and Joshua charged those who went
to describe the land, saying, Go and walk through the land,
and describe it, and come again to me; and I will cast lots
for you here before Yahweh in Shiloh.
018:009 The men went and passed through the land, and described it
by cities into seven portions in a book; and they came
to Joshua to the camp at Shiloh.
018:010 Joshua cast lots for them in Shiloh before Yahweh:
and there Joshua divided the land to the children of Israel
according to their divisions.
018:011 The lot of the tribe of the children of Benjamin came up
according to their families: and the border of their lot went
out between the children of Judah and the children of Joseph.
018:012 Their border on the north quarter was from the Jordan;
and the border went up to the side of Jericho on the north,
and went up through the hill country westward; and the goings
out of it were at the wilderness of Beth Aven.
018:013 The border passed along from there to Luz, to the side of Luz
