After the Israeli leaders divided the land among the tribes, they allotted some land to Joshua.

50 ng’ekiragiro kya Mukama bwe kyali, ne bamuwa ekibuga kye yasaba, Timunasusera mu nsi ey’ensozi eya Efulayimu. Omwo mwe yazimba ekibuga mwe yabeera.

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 Bino bye bitundu Eriyazaali kabona ne Yoswa omwana wa Nuuni n’abakulu b’ebika bya Isirayiri bye bagabana okuyita mu kalulu e Siiro nga beebuuza ku Mukama mu mulyango gwa Weema ey’Okukuŋŋaanirangamu. Bwe batyo bwe baamaliriza okugabanyaamu ensi.

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.
