Verse 9 is found in chapter 18 of Joshua. The tent of meeting is established at Shiloh, and Joshua rebukes the remaining tribes for not yet taking possession of their inheritance. Men are sent to survey and describe the land, after which lots are cast. The passage shows a transition from military conquest to territorial administration. The promise requires an active response from the tribes: receiving an inheritance does not eliminate the responsibility to occupy it.

Los hombres fueron, recorrieron la tierra y la describieron por ciudades, en siete partes, en un libro. Luego vinieron a Josué, al campamento en Silo.
Ces hommes partirent, parcoururent le pays, et en tracèrent d'après les villes un plan en sept parts, dans un livre; et ils revinrent auprès de Josué dans le camp à Silo.
E quegli uomini andarono, e traversarono il paese, e lo descrissero a città a città in un libro, facendone sette parti; poi ritornarono a Giosuè nel campo in Silo.
Foram, pois, aqueles homens, e passaram pela terra, e a demarcaram, em sete partes segundo as cidades, descrevendo-a num livro; e voltaram a Josué, ao arraial em Siló.
