Yehoshua 14:1 In-Context

1 4 And these are that which the Bnei Yisroel inherited in Eretz Kena’an, which Eleazar HaKohen, and Yehoshua ben Nun, and the Roshei Avot of the tribes of the Bnei Yisroel, distributed for nachalah to them.
2 By goral (lot) was their nachalah, just as Hashem commanded by the yad Moshe, for the nine tribes, and for the half-tribe.
3 For Moshe had given the nachalah of two and a half tribes on the other side of the Yarden; but unto the Levi’im he gave no nachalah among them.
4 For the Bnei Yosef were two tribes, Menasheh and Ephrayim; therefore they gave no chelek unto the Levi’im in HaAretz, except arim (cities) to dwell in, with their open land for their livestock and for their herds.
5 Just as Hashem commanded Moshe, so the Bnei Yisroel did, and they divided HaAretz.
