3 Yahawashawai (Joshua) amar (spoke) to the banay (children) of Yashar-Al (Israel), “How long will you neglect to bawaa (come) in to yarash (possess) the aratz (Earth/land), which Yahawah (), the Alahayam () of your ab (father), nathan (give) given you?
4 Appoint for yourselves shalawash (three) anashayam (men) from each shabat (tribe). I will shalach (send) them, and they shall qawam (rise up), halak (move) through the aratz (Earth/land), and kathab (write) it pah (according) to their nachalah (inheritance); and they shall bawaa (bring) to me.
5 They shall chalaq (divide) it into shabai (seven) chalaqayam (portions). Yahawadah (Yahawadah / Judah) shall live in his gabawal (border/boundary) on the nagab (south), and the bayath (house) of Yawasap (Joseph) shall live in their gabawal (border/boundary) on the tzapawan (north).

7 For the Lawayay (Levites) have no chalaq (portion) qarab (among / near) you; for the kahanah (priesthood) of Yahawah () is their nachalah (inheritance). Gad (Gad), Raawaban (Reuben), and the half-tribe of Manashah (Manasseh) have laqach (take / seize) their nachalah (inheritance) ibar (beyond) the Yaradan (Jordan) eastward, which Mashah (Moses) the ibad (servant) of Yahawah () nathan (give) them.”
