DIVIDING THE LAND
(Children's songs from Joshua #8)

When Joshua was old and advanced in years
Jehovah said unto him,
Now divide the land for inheritance
To the tribes, to give unto them
(Chorus)
And Jehovah gave to Israel
All the land which He had swore to them
To give unto their forefathers
And they possessed and lived in it.

First the half tribe of Manasseh with
The tribes of Reuben and Gad
Took their portion east of Jordan
After fighting for their brothers land
(Chorus)
And Jehovah gave to Israel
All the land which He had swore to them
To give unto their forefathers
And they possessed and lived in it.

On the west bank—Judah and Ephraim
And Manasseh's other half
Benjamin, Simeon, Zebulun, Issachar
Asher, Naphtali and Dan
(Chorus)
And Jehovah gave to Israel
All the land which He had swore to them
To give unto their forefathers
And they possessed and lived in it.
