Joshua’s Inheritance

49
When they had finished distributing the land into its territories, the Israelites gave Joshua son of Nun an inheritance among them,

51
These are the inheritances that Eleazar the priest, Joshua son of Nun, and the heads of the families distributed by lot to the tribes of Israel at Shiloh before the LORD at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting. So they finished dividing up the land.
