Give from among you for every tribe three men, that I may send them, and that they may rise and walk through the land, and distribute it according to [a]their inheritance, and return to me.

And that they may divide it unto them into seven parts, (Judah shall abide in his coast at the South, and the house of Joseph shall [b]stand in their coasts at the North.)

Ye shall describe the land therefore into seven parts, and shall bring them hither to me, and I will cast lots for you here before the [c]Lord our God.
