Procedure for Distributing the Land and Levitical Cities

Joshua 14:1-5

14
Chapter 14
1 These are the ones whom the sons of Israel inherited from in the land of Canaan, which Eleazar the priest, Joshua son of Nun, and the heads of the fathers of the tribes of the sons of Israel distributed to them. 2 By lot was their inheritance, as the LORD commanded by the hand of Moses, for the nine tribes and the half tribe. 3 For Moses had given an inheritance to the two tribes and the half tribe beyond the Jordan, but to the Levites he gave no inheritance among them. 4 For the sons of Joseph were two tribes, Manasseh and Ephraim. They gave no portion to the Levites in the land, except cities to dwell in with their pasturelands for their livestock and possessions. 5 Just as the LORD commanded Moses, the sons of Israel did this, and they divided the land.
