Joshua 18:5-7
Amplified Bible
5 They shall divide it into seven parts; [the tribe of] Judah shall remain in its territory on the south, and the [a]house of Joseph shall remain in its territory on the north. 6 You shall describe the land in seven divisions, and bring the description here to me. I will cast lots for you here [b]before the Lord our God. 7 But the Levites have no portion among you, because the priesthood of the Lord is [c]their inheritance. Gad and Reuben and half the tribe of Manasseh also have received their inheritance eastward beyond the Jordan, which Moses the servant of the Lord gave them.”
