~ Seven More Tribes Need Their Inheritance ~

The whole assembly of the Israelites
gathered at Shiloh
and set up the Tent of Meeting there.
The country was brought under their control,
but there were still seven Israelite tribes
who had not yet received their inheritance.

So Joshua said to the Israelites:
"How long will you wait
before you begin to take possession of the land
that the Lord, the God of your fathers,
has given you?
Appoint three men from each tribe.
I will send them out to make a survey of the land
and to write a description of it,
according to the inheritance of each.
Then they will return to me.
You are to divide the land into seven parts.
Judah is to remain in its territory on the south
and the house of Joseph in its territory on the north.
After you have written descriptions
of the seven parts of the land,
bring them here to me
and I will cast lots for you
in the presence of the Lord our God."

(Joshua 18:1-6)
