Joshua 18:8

And the men arose, and went away: and Joshua charged them that went to describe the land, saying, Go and walk through the land, and describe it, and come again to me, that I may here cast lots for you before the LORD in Shiloh.

And the men {H582} arose {H6965}, and went away {H3212}: and Joshua {H3091} charged {H6680} them that went {H1980} to describe {H3789} the land {H776}, saying {H559}, Go {H3212} and walk {H1980} through the land {H776}, and describe {H3789} it, and come again {H7725} to me, that I may here cast {H7993} lots {H1486} for you before {H6440} the LORD {H3068} in Shiloh {H7887}.

So the men got up and went. Y'hoshua gave them this commission as they left to describe the land: "Go; walk through the land; and describe it; then come back to me, and I will cast lots for you here before ADONAI in Shiloh."

As the men got up to go out, Joshua commanded them to map out the land, saying, “Go and survey the land, map it out, and return to me. Then I will cast lots for you here in Shiloh in the presence of the LORD.”

And the men arose, and went: and Joshua charged them that went to describe the land, saying, Go and walk through the land, and describe it, and come again to me; and I will cast lots for you here before Jehovah in Shiloh.
