14 These are what the Israelis inherited in the land of Canaan, which Eleazar the priest and Yehoshua (Nun’s son) and the leaders of the Israelis gave them as an inheritance. 2 Their allocations were made by casting lots for the nine and a half tribes, just as Yahweh had commanded through Mosheh.[ref] 3 (Mosheh had given the other two and a half tribes their inheritance on the other side of the river, but the Levites weren’t given land as an inheritance[ref]—4 instead of land they were given cities to live in, along with the surrounding fields for their livestock. Yosef’s two sons Menashsheh and Efrayim were considered as two tribes.) 5 The Israelis did just as Yahweh had commanded Mosheh—they allocated blocks of the land as permanent possessions.
