This is what the children of Israel possessed in the land of Chanaan, which Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun, and the princes of the families by the tribes of Israel gave to them. 2Dividing all by lot, as the Lord had commanded the hand of Moses, to the nine tribes, and the half tribe. 3For to two tribes and a half Moses had given possession beyond the Jordan: besides the Levites, who received no land among their brethren: 4But in their place succeeded the children of Joseph divided into two tribes, of Manasses and Ephraim: neither did the Levites receive other portion of land, but cities to dwell in, and their suburbs to feed their beasts and flocks. 5As the Lord had commanded Moses so did the children of Israel, and they divided the land.
