06:017:014 And the children of Joseph spake unto Joshua,
saying, Why hast
thou
given me but one lot and one portion to inherit, seeing
I
am
a great people, forasmuch as the lord hath blessed
me
hitherto?
06:017:015 And Joshua answered them, If thou be a
great people, then get
thee
up to the wood country, and cut down for thyself there
in
the
land of the Perizzites and of the giants, if mount
Ephraim
be
too narrow for thee.
06:017:016 And the children of Joseph said, The hill
is not enough for
us:
and all the Canaanites that dwell in the land of the
valley
have chariots of iron, both they who are of Bethshean
and
her towns, and they who are of the valley of Jezreel.
06:017:017 And Joshua spake unto the house of Joseph,
even to Ephraim and
to
Manasseh, saying, Thou art a great people, and hast
great
power:
thou shalt not have one lot only:
06:017:018 But the mountain shall be thine; for it
is a wood, and thou
shalt
cut it down: and the outgoings of it shall be
thine: for
thou
shalt drive out the Canaanites, though they have iron
chariots,
and though they be strong.
06:018:001 And the whole congregation of the children
of Israel assembled
together
at Shiloh, and set up the tabernacle of the
congregation
there. And the land was subdued before them.
06:018:002 And there remained among the children of
Israel seven tribes,
which
had not yet received their inheritance.
06:018:003 And Joshua said unto 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?
06:018:004 Give out 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.
06:018:005 And they shall divide it into seven parts:
Judah shall abide
in
their coast on the south, and the house of Joseph shall
abide
in their coasts on the north.
06:018:006 Ye shall therefore describe the land into
seven parts, and
bring
the description hither to me, that I may cast lots
for
you
here before the lord our God.
06:018:007 But the Levites have no part among you;
for the priesthood of
the
lord is their inheritance: and Gad, and Reuben,
and half
the
tribe of Manasseh, have received their inheritance
beyond
Jordan
on the east, which Moses the servant of the lord
gave
them.
06:018:008 And the men arose, and went away:
and Joshua charged them that
went
to describe the land, saying, Go and walk through the
land,
and describe it, and come again to me, that I may here
cast
lots for you before the lord in Shiloh.
