By lottery among the tribes (Numbers 26:55). A study of this topic should begin with the relevant chapters in the Book of Joshua, which speaks of the distribution of Canaan to the tribes of Judah (Joshua ch.15), Ephraim (ch.16), Menasheh (ch.17), and Benjamin (ch.18); plus Shimon, Zevulun, Issachar, Asher, Naphtali, and Dan (ch.19). The Levites received no contiguous region of land, but they did receive scattered cities (ch.21). For a map, see: The 12 Tribes in Canaan
