2 And there remained among the children of Israel seven tribes, which had not yet received their inheritance.
3 And Joshua said to the children of Israel, How long [are] ye slack to go to possess the land which the LORD God of your fathers hath given you?
4 Select from among you three men for [each] tribe: and I will send them, and they shall rise, and go through the land, and describe it according to the inheritance of them, and they shall come [again] to me.
5 And they shall divide it into seven parts: Judah shall abide in their border on the south, and the house of Joseph shall abide in their borders on the north.
6 Ye shall therefore describe the land [in] seven parts, and bring [the description] hither to me, that I may cast lots for you here before the LORD our God.
