Yehoshua 19:49-51

49 When they had made an end of dividing HaAretz for nachalah by their portions, the Bnei Yisroel gave a nachalah to Yehoshua ben Nun among them.

50 According to the Devar Hashem they gave him the Ir for which he asked, even Timnat-Serach in Mt Ephrayim; and he built the town, and dwelt therein.

51 These are hanechalot (the inheritances), which Eleazar HaKohen, and Yehoshua ben Nun, and the Roshei HaAvot of the tribes of the Bnei Yisroel, distributed by lot in Shiloh before Hashem, at the petach of the Ohel Mo’ed. So they made an end of dividing up HaAretz.
