Joshua 18:3-5

Modern English Version

³ So Joshua said to the children of Israel, “How long will you delay going in to possess the land that the Lord, the God of your fathers, has given you? ⁴ Select three men from each tribe, and I will send them out; and they will rise and go throughout the land, and describe it according to their inheritance, and they will come back to me. ⁵ They shall divide it into seven portions. Judah will stay in their territory in the south, and the house of Joseph will stay in their territory in the north.
