1 These are the inheritances that the people of Israel received in the land of Canaan, which ^lEleazar the priest and Joshua the son of Nun and the heads of the fathers’ houses of the tribes of the people of Israel gave them to inherit. 2 Their inheritance was ^mby lot, just as the Lord had commanded by the hand of Moses for the nine and one-half tribes. 3 ⁿFor Moses had given an inheritance to the two and one-half tribes beyond the Jordan, ^obut to the Levites he gave no inheritance among them. 4 For ^pthe people of Joseph were two tribes, Manasseh and Ephraim. And no portion was given to the Levites in the land, but only cities to dwell in, with their pasturelands for their livestock and their substance. 5 The people of Israel did ^qas the Lord commanded Moses; they allotted the land.
