1And these are the lands which the children of Israel inherited in the land of Canaan, which Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun, and the heads of the families of the tribes of the children of Israel, distributed as inheritance to them.
2Their inheritance was by lot, as the LORD commanded through Moses, for the nine tribes and the half-tribe.
3For Moses had given the inheritance of two tribes and a half-tribe on the other side of the Jordan, but to the Levites he gave no inheritance among them.
4For the children of Joseph were two tribes, Manasseh and Ephraim; therefore they gave no part to the Levites in the land, except cities to live in, with their pasture lands for their cattle and for their possessions.
