Context
1And 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.
2And there remained among the children of Israel seven tribes, which had not yet received their inheritance.
3And Joshua said unto the children of Israel, How long ye slack to go to possess the land, which the LORD God of your fathers hath given you?
4Give out from among you three men for 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 to me.
5And 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.
6Ye shall therefore describe the land seven parts, and bring hither to me, that I may cast lots for you here before the LORD our God.
