1 Toda la comunidad de los hijos de Israel se reunió en Silo y levantó allí la Tienda de reunión. La tierra ya estaba sometida delante de ellos.
1 The whole congregation of the children of Israel assembled themselves together at Shiloh, and set up the Tent of Meeting there. The land was subdued before them.
2 Pero todavía quedaban siete tribus de Israel que no habían recibido su herencia.
2 Seven tribes remained among the children of Israel, which had not yet divided their inheritance.
3 Entonces Josué dijo a los hijos de Israel: «¿Hasta cuándo van a esperar para tomar posesión de la tierra que el Señor, Dios de sus padres, les ha dado?
3 Joshua said to the children of Israel, “How long will you neglect to go in to possess the land, which Yahweh, the God of your fathers, has given you?
4 Escojan tres hombres de cada tribu. Yo los enviaré a recorrer la tierra y hacer una descripción de ella para repartirla como herencia. Después volverán a mí.
4 Appoint for yourselves three men from each tribe. I will send them, and they shall arise, walk through the land, and describe it according to their inheritance; then they shall come to me.
5 Dividan la tierra en siete partes. Judá permanecerá en su territorio al sur y los descendientes de José en su territorio al norte.
5 They shall divide it into seven portions. Judah shall live in his borders on the south, and the house of Joseph shall live in their borders on the north.
6 Hagan una descripción de las siete partes y tráiganmela aquí. Entonces haré el sorteo por ustedes delante del Señor nuestro Dios.
6 You shall survey the land into seven parts, and bring the description here to me; and I will cast lots for you here before Yahweh our God.
7 Los levitas no recibirán una parte de tierra entre ustedes, porque el servicio al Señor es su herencia. Gad, Rubén y la media tribu de Manasés ya recibieron su herencia al este del Jordán, la que Moisés, siervo del Señor, les dio».
7 However, the Levites have no portion among you; for the priesthood of Yahweh is their inheritance. Gad, Reuben, and the half-tribe of Manasseh have received their inheritance east of the Jordan, which Moses the servant of Yahweh gave them.”
8 Los hombres se prepararon para salir. Josué les ordenó: «Recorran la tierra, hagan una descripción de ella y regresen a mí. Aquí en Silo haré el sorteo por ustedes delante del Señor».
8 The men arose and went. Joshua commanded those who went to survey the land, saying, “Go walk through the land, survey it, and come again to me. I will cast lots for you here before Yahweh in Shiloh.”
