The Territories of the Remaining Tribes

18Then the whole congregation of the Israelites assembled at Shiloh, and set up the tent of meeting there. The land lay subdued before them.H5712H1121H3478H6950H7887H7931H168H4150H776H3533H6440 2There remained among the Israelites seven tribes whose inheritance had not yet been apportioned.H3498H1121H3478H7651H7626H2505H5159 3So Joshua said to the Israelites, "How long will you be slack about going in and taking possession of the land that the LORD, the God of your ancestors, has given you?H3091H559H1121H3478H7503H935H3423H776H3068H430H1H5414 4Provide three men from each tribe, and I will send them out that they may begin to go throughout the land, writing a description of it with a view to their inheritances. Then come back to me.H3051H7969H582H7626H7971H6965H1980H776H3789H6310H5159H935 5They shall divide it into seven portions, Judah continuing in its territory on the south, and the house of Joseph in their territory on the north.H2505H7651H2506H3063H5975H1366H5045H1004H3130H5975H1366H6828 6You shall describe the land in seven divisions and bring the description here to me; and I will cast lots for you here before the LORD our God.H3789H776H7651H2506H935H3384H1486H6440H3068H430 7The Levites have no portion among you, for the priesthood of the LORD is their heritage; and Gad and Reuben and the half-tribe of Manasseh have received their inheritance beyond the Jordan eastward, which Moses the servant of the LORD gave them."H3881H2506H7130H3550H3068H5159H1410H7205H2677H7626H4519H3947H5159H5676H3383H4217H4872H5650H3068H5414 8So the men started on their way; and Joshua charged those who went to write the description of the land, saying, "Go throughout the land and write a description of it, and come back to me; and I will cast lots for you here before the LORD in Shiloh."H582H6965H3212H3091H6680H1980H3789H776H559H3212H1980H776H3789H7725H7993H1486H6440H3068H7887 9So the men went and traversed the land and set down in a book a description of it by towns in seven divisions; then they came back to Joshua in the camp at Shiloh,H582H3212H5674H776H3789H5892H7651H2506H5612H935H3091H4264H7887 10and Joshua cast lots for them in Shiloh before the LORD; and there Joshua apportioned the land to the Israelites, to each a portion.H3091H7993H1486H7887H6440H3068H3091H2505H776H1121H3478H4256

The Territory of Benjamin

11The lot of the tribe of Benjamin according to its families came up, and the territory allotted to it fell between the tribe of Judah and the tribe of Joseph.H1486H4294H1121H1144H5927H4940H1366H1486H3318H1121H3063H1121H3130 12On the north side their boundary began at the Jordan; then the boundary goes up to the slope of Jericho on the north, then up through the hill country westward; and it ends at the wilderness of Beth-aven.H1366H6828H6285H3383H1366H5927H3802H3405H6828H5927H2022H3220H8444H4057H1007 13From there the boundary passes along southward in the direction of Luz, to the slope of Luz (that is, Bethel), then the boundary goes down to Ataroth-addar, on the mountain that lies south of Lower Beth-horon.H1366H5674H3870H3802H3870H1008H5045H1366H3381H5853H2022H5045H8481H1032 14Then the boundary goes in another direction, turning on the western side southward from the mountain that lies to the south, opposite Beth-horon, and it ends at Kiriath-baal (that is, Kiriath-jearim), a town belonging to the tribe of Judah. This forms the western side.H1366H8388H5437H6285H3220H5045H2022H6440H1032H5045H8444H7154H7157H5892H1121H3063H3220H6285 15The southern side begins at the outskirts of Kiriath-jearim; and the boundary goes from there to Ephron, to the spring of the Waters of Nephtoah;H5045H6285H7097H7157H1366H3318H3220H3318H4599H4325H5318 16then the boundary goes down to the border of the mountain that overlooks the valley of the son of Hinnom, which is at the north end of the valley of Rephaim; and it then goes down the valley of Hinnom, south of the slope of the Jebusites, and downward to En-rogel;H1366H3381H7097H2022H6440H1516H1121H2011H6010H7497H6828H3381H1516H2011H3802H2983H5045H3381H5883 17then it bends in a northerly direction going on to En-shemesh, and from there goes to Geliloth, which is opposite the ascent of Adummim; then it goes down to the Stone of Bohan, Reuben's son;H8388H6828H3318H5885H3318H1553H5227H4608H131H3381H68H932H1121H7205 18and passing on to the north of the slope of Beth-arabah it goes down to the Arabah;H5674H3802H4136H6160H6828H3381H6160 19then the boundary passes on to the north of the slope of Beth-hoglah; and the boundary ends at the northern bay of the Dead Sea, at the south end of the Jordan: this is the southern border.H1366H5674H3802H1031H6828H8444H1366H6828H3956H4417H3220H5045H7097H3383H5045H1366 20The Jordan forms its boundary on the eastern side. This is the inheritance of the tribe of Benjamin, according to its families, boundary by boundary all around.H3383H1379H6924H6285H5159H1121H1144H1367H5439H4940 21Now the towns of the tribe of Benjamin according to their families were Jericho, Beth-hoglah, Emek-keziz,H5892H4294H1121H1144H4940H3405H1031H6010H7104 22Beth-arabah, Zemaraim, Bethel,H1026H6787H1008 23Avvim, Parah, Ophrah,H5761H6511H6084 24Chephar-ammoni, Ophni, and Geba—twelve towns with their villages:H3726H6078H1387H8147H6240H5892H2691 25Gibeon, Ramah, Beeroth,H1391H7414H881 26Mizpeh, Chephirah, Mozah,H4708H3716H4681 27Rekem, Irpeel, Taralah,H7552H3416H8634 28Zela, Haeleph, Jebus (that is, Jerusalem), Gibeah and Kiriath-jearim—fourteen towns with their villages.
