Joshua chapter 18

After reading chapter 18:

*The whole assembly of the Israelites, all 2 million of them (?), gathered at Shiloh where the tabernacle was set up. There Joshua assigned three men from each tribe that didn't have land yet to survey the land that hadn't been distributed yet and divide it into seven parts. After that, Joshua would cast lots in the presence of Yahweh to determine which tribe got which piece of land. Why couldn't Yahweh just tell him? Joshua appears to have given the tribes these instructions twice. The men did the survey and wrote the information down in a scroll. One wonders where they got the scroll from. It had to have been made of papyrus at the time. Apparently some of those nomadic tribesmen were educated in the art of writing while wandering in the desert. What language did they write in?

*Then Joshua cast lots to decide the distribution of the land. The rest of the chapter tells us about the land allotted to the tribe of Benjamin. It lay between the land of the tribes of Joseph and Judah. They got a total of 26 towns with their villages.
