- The whole of the Israelites assemble at Shiloh.
- Joshua tells the crowd that there are seven tribes that haven't received land yet. He requests that scouts be sent out to survey and document the land. Once they return, the land will be divided seven ways, with Joshua casting lots to see who gets what.

- The rest of the chapter describes the land that is cast to the tribe of Benjamin (11-26).
