Bible Verses About Holy Land: Divided by lot

Then the LORD said to Moses,

“These are the names of the men who are to assign the land as an inheritance for you: Eleazar the priest and Joshua son of Nun.

Appoint one leader from each tribe to distribute the land.

These are their names: Caleb son of Jephunneh from the tribe of Judah;

Shemuel son of Ammihud from the tribe of Simeon;

Elidad son of Chislon from the tribe of Benjamin;

Bukki son of Jogli, a leader from the tribe of Dan;

Hanniel son of Ephod, a leader from the tribe of Manasseh son of Joseph;

Kemuel son of Shiphtan, a leader from the tribe of Ephraim;

Eli-zaphan son of Parnach, a leader from the tribe of Zebulun;

Paltiel son of Azzan, a leader from the tribe of Issachar;

Ahihud son of Shelomi, a leader from the tribe of Asher;

and Pedahel son of Ammihud, a leader from the tribe of Naphtali.”

These are the ones whom the LORD commanded to apportion the inheritance to the Israelites in the land of Canaan.

Now therefore divide this land as an inheritance to the nine tribes and the half-tribe of Manasseh.”

The other half of Manasseh, along with the Reubenites and Gadites, had received the inheritance Moses had given them beyond the Jordan to the east, just as Moses the servant of the LORD had assigned to them:

The area from Aroer on the rim of the Arnon Valley, along with the city in the middle of the valley, the whole plateau of Medeba as far as Dibon,

and all the cities of Sihon king of the Amorites who reigned in Heshbon, as far as the border of the Ammonites;

also Gilead and the territory of the Geshurites and Maacathites, all of Mount Hermon, and all Bashan as far as Salecah—

the whole kingdom of Og in Bashan, who had reigned in Ashtaroth and Edrei and had remained as a remnant of the Rephaim. Moses had struck them down and dispossessed them,

but the Israelites did not drive out the Geshurites or the Maacathites. So Geshur and Maacath dwell among the Israelites to this day.

To the tribe of Levi, however, Moses had given no inheritance. The offerings made by fire to the LORD, the God of Israel, are their inheritance, just as He had promised them.
