When they had made an end of dividing the land for inheritance by their coasts, the children of Israel gave an inheritance to Joshua the son of Nun among them:

After they had finished dividing up the land, the people of Israel gave a portion to Joshua, Nun's son, as his inheritance.

According to the word of the LORD they gave him the city which he asked, even Timnathserah in mount Ephraim: and he built the city, and dwelt therein.

In response to God's command, they gifted him his desired city, Timnathserah on Mount Ephraim. He lovingly built it up and made it his home.

These are the inheritances, which Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun, and the heads of the fathers of the tribes of the children of Israel, divided for an inheritance by lot in Shiloh before the LORD, at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation. So they made an end of dividing the country.

These are the inheritances that Eleazar the priest, Joshua, and the tribal leaders of Israel divided among the tribes by lot, in Shiloh, under God's watchful eyes, at the entrance of the sacred tent. And so they completed the task of dividing the land.
