They allotted to him Timnath-Serah. Yahweh had said that he could have whatever city he wanted, and that was the city that he chose. It was in the hilly region which was allotted to the tribe of Ephraim. Joshua rebuilt the city and lived there.
51 Telles furent les distributions de terres que firent Eléazar le prêtre, Joseph, fils de Nau, et les chefs de famille des tribus; ils les firent à Silo, par la voie du sort, devant le Seigneur, auprès des portes du tabernacle du témoignage. Et chacun partit pour se mettre en possession de son territoire.
Those were the areas that were allotted to the various tribes of Israel. Eleazar the Supreme Priest and Joshua and the leaders of each tribe divided up the land while they were all at Shiloh, by (casting lots/throwing marked stones) [to decide which area each tribe would receive]. They did that while Yahweh was watching, at the entrance of the Sacred Tent. In that way they completed dividing up the land.
