Joshua 18:3-5

Lexham English Bible

³ And Joshua said to the Israelites,^[a] “How long^[b] will you be slack about going to take possession of the land that Yahweh, the God of your ancestors,^[c] has given you? ⁴ Provide three men from each tribe,^[d] and I will send them so that they may begin to go through the land and write a description of it according to their inheritance,^[e] and let them come to me. ⁵ They will divide it among themselves into seven portions; Judah will maintain its border^[f] from the south, and the house of Joseph will maintain its border^[g] from the north.
