Allotment to Joshua
49 When they finished dividing up the land, the Israelites gave Joshua an inheritance. 50 In accordance with Yahveh’s command, they gave him the city he asked for, Timnath-serah in the hill country of Ephraim. He rebuilt the city and settled in it.
51 Those are the inheritances that Eleazar the priest, Joshua, and the heads of households distributed by lot in Shiloh in front of Yahveh, at the doorway of the Tent of Meeting. So they finished dividing up the land.
