Joshua 18:5-7
New English Translation
5 Divide it into seven regions.[a] Judah will stay[b] in its territory in the south, and the family[c] of Joseph in its territory in the north. 6 But as for you, map out the land into seven regions and bring it to me. I will draw lots for you here before the Lord our God. 7 But the Levites will not have an allotted portion among you, for their inheritance is to serve the Lord.[d] Gad, Reuben, and the half-tribe of Manasseh have already received their allotted land[e] east of the Jordan, which Moses the Lord’s servant assigned them.”

New International Version
5 You are to divide the land into seven parts. Judah is to remain in its territory on the south(A) and the tribes of Joseph in their territory on the north.(B) 6 After you have written descriptions of the seven parts of the land, bring them here to me and I will cast lots(C) for you in the presence of the Lord our God. 7 The Levites, however, do not get a portion among you, because the priestly service of the Lord is their inheritance.(D) And Gad, Reuben and the half-tribe of Manasseh have already received their inheritance on the east side of the Jordan. Moses the servant of the Lord gave it to them.(E)”
