Josva 18,2
1 Hele forsamlingen av israelittene samlet seg i Sjilo og satte opp møteteltet der; landet var underlagt dem.
Det var imidlertid syv stammer blant israelittene som ennå ikke hadde mottatt sin arv.
3 Josva talte til israelittene og sa: "Hvor lenge vil dere vente før dere tar i besittelse det landet som Herren, deres fedres Gud, har gitt dere?
4 Velg ut tre menn fra hver stamme. Jeg vil sende dem ut for å kartlegge landet og skrive en beskrivelse av det, i henhold til deres arv, og så skal de komme tilbake til meg.
Here the Bible tells a story about someone else. Ask yourself what it can say to us today. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
