Joshua 18

The tabernacle is taken at Shiloh

1 And all the congregation of the children of Israel gathered together in Shiloh, and there they pitched the tent of meeting, after the land was laid before them.

2 And of the children of Israel were seven tribes, which had not yet divided their inheritance.

3 And Joshua said unto the children of Israel, How long will ye be negligent to pass over to possess the land which the LORD God of your fathers hath given you?

4 From each tribe choose three men, that I may send them, and arise, and run up, and describe it according to their inheritance, and return unto me.

5 And they shall divide it into seven parts: Judah shall be at the south end of it, and the house of Joseph shall be at its north end.

6 And you shall describe the earth in seven parts, and bring it to me hereby described, that I may cast lots here before the LORD our God.

7 For the Levites have no part among you, but the priesthood of the LORD is their part: and Gad, and Reuben, and the half tribe of Manasseh took their inheritance beyond Jordan eastward, which Moses gave unto it. , the servant of the Lord.

8 Then those men arose, and departed: and Joshua commanded them that they should describe the earth, saying, Go and run the earth, and describe it, and turn again to me, and here I will cast lots for you. Lord, in Shiloh.

9 So these men went through the land and described it according to their cities in seven parts in a book: and they returned to Joshua to the camp at Shiloh.

10 And Joshua cast lots for them in Shiloh before Jehovah: and there Joshua divided the land unto the children of Israel according to their divisions.
