The narrative flows through two consecutive Hifil perfect forms ve-havetem {וַהֲבֵאתֶם | va-hă-ḇē-tem} ‘and you shall bring’ and ve-yariti {וְיָרִיתִי | wə-yā-rî-tî} ‘and I will cast’, marking a sequence of completed and future actions.
In context — Joshua 18:6
And you shall write down the land in seven portions , and bring them here to me, and I will cast the lot for you here before the LORD our God .
