And the king of Jericho was told about it, saying, Behold, men from the sons of Israel came in here tonight, to search out the country.

And Joshua said to the sons of Israel, Come here and hear the Words of Jehovah your God.

and command them saying, Take twelve stones from here, out of the middle of Jordan, out of the place where the priests' feet stood firm. And you shall carry them over with you, and leave them in the place where you shall stay tonight.

And you shall map the land into seven parts and bring it here to me, so that I may cast lots here for you before Jehovah our God.

And the men arose and went away. And Joshua charged those who went to map the land, saying, Go and walk through the land, and map it, and come again to me so that I may here cast lots for you before Jehovah in Shiloh.
