When the men started out, Joshua told those going to map out the land, “Go, walk through the land, map it out, and return to me. Then I will draw lots for you before the Lord here in Shiloh.”

Pick three men from each tribe. I will send them out to walk through the land and make a map of it for me. ¹ 

But as for you, map out the land into seven regions and bring it to me. I will draw lots for you here before the Lord our God.
