Bright and early the next morning Joshua made Israel approach in tribal order and the tribe of Judah was selected.

Now, divide up this land among the nine tribes and the half-tribe of Manasseh.”

Now select for yourselves twelve men from the tribes of Israel, one per tribe.

Joshua told the Reubenites, Gadites, and the half tribe of Manasseh:

“Select for yourselves twelve men from the people, one per tribe.

Moses assigned land to the half-tribe of Manasseh by its clans.

seven Israelite tribes had not been assigned their allotted land.

In the morning you must approach in tribal order. The tribe the Lord selects must approach by clans. The clan the Lord selects must approach by families. The family the Lord selects must approach man by man.

Joshua summoned the twelve men he had appointed from the Israelites, one per tribe.

The Reubenites, Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh crossed over armed for battle ahead of the Israelites, just as Moses had instructed them.

Moses the Lord’s servant and the Israelites defeated them and Moses the Lord’s servant assigned their land to Reuben, Gad, and the half tribe of Manasseh.

However, Moses did not assign land as an inheritance to the Levites; their inheritance is the sacrificial offerings made to the Lord God of Israel, as he instructed them.

However, Moses did not assign land as an inheritance to the Levites; their inheritance is the Lord God of Israel, as he instructed them.

Pick three men from each tribe. I will send them out to walk through the land and make a map of it for me.

They went to the land of Gilead to the Reubenites, Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh, and said to them:

The Reubenites, Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh answered the leaders of the Israelite clans:

Joshua assembled all the Israelite tribes at Shechem. He summoned Israel’s elders, rulers, judges, and leaders, and they appeared before God.

Joshua told them, “Go in front of the ark of the Lord your God to the middle of the Jordan. Each of you is to put a stone on his shoulder, according to the number of the Israelite tribes.

The Israelites did just as Joshua commanded. They picked up twelve stones, according to the number of the Israelite tribes, from the middle of the Jordan as the Lord had instructed Joshua. They carried them over with them to the camp and put them there.

Joshua conquered the whole land, just as the Lord had promised Moses, and he assigned Israel their tribal portions. Then the land was free of war.
