Joshua 18:4 in Context — Joshua 18

2 Il restait sept tribus des enfants d’Israël qui n’avaient pas encore reçu leur héritage.

3 Josué dit aux enfants d’Israël: Jusques à quand négligerez-vous de prendre possession du pays que l’Éternel, le Dieu de vos pères, vous a donné?

4 Choisissez trois hommes par tribu, et je les ferai partir. Ils se lèveront, parcourront le pays, traceront un plan en vue du partage, et reviendront auprès de moi.

5 Ils le diviseront en sept parts; Juda restera dans ses limites au midi, et la maison de Joseph restera dans ses limites au nord.

6 Vous donc, vous tracerez un plan du pays en sept parts, et vous me l’apporterez ici. Je jetterai pour vous le sort devant l’Éternel, notre Dieu.
