18AND THE whole congregation of the Israelites assembled at Shiloh and set up the Tent of Meeting there; and the land was subdued before them.H5712H1121H3478H6950H7887H7931H168H4150H776H3533H64402And there remained among the Israelites seven tribes who had not yet divided their inheritance.H3498H1121H3478H7651H7626H2505H51593Joshua asked the Israelites, How long will you be slack to go in and possess the land which the Lord, the God of your fathers, has given you?H3091H559H1121H3478H7503H935H3423H776H3068H430H1H54144Provide three men from each tribe, and I will send them to go through the land and write a description of it according to their [tribal] inheritances; then they shall return to me.H3051H7969H582H7626H7971H6965H1980H776H3789H6310H5159H9355And they shall divide it into seven parts. Judah shall remain in its territory on the south and the house of Joseph shall remain in its territory on the north.H2505H7651H2506H3063H5975H1366H5045H1004H3130H5975H1366H68286You shall describe the land in seven divisions, and bring the description here to me, that I may cast lots for you here before the Lord our God.H3789H776H7651H2506H935H3384H1486H6440H3068H4307But the Levites have no portion among you, for the priesthood of the Lord is their inheritance. Gad and Reuben and half the tribe of Manasseh have received their inheritance east of the Jordan, which Moses the servant of the Lord gave them.H3881H2506H7130H3550H3068H5159H1410H7205H2677H7626H4519H3947H5159H5676H3383H4217H4872H5650H3068H54148So the men arose and went, and Joshua charged them saying, Go and walk through the land and describe it and come again to me, and I will cast lots for you here before the Lord in Shiloh.H582H6965H3212H3091H6680H1980H3789H776H559H3212H1980H776H3789H7725H7993H1486H6440H3068H78879And the men went and passed through the land and described it by cities in seven portions in a book; and they came again to Joshua to the camp at Shiloh.H582H3212H5674H776H3789H5892H7651H2506H5612H935H3091H4264H788710Joshua cast lots for them in Shiloh before the Lord, and there [he] divided the land to the Israelites, to each [tribe] his portion.H3091H7993H1486H7887H6440H3068H3091H2505H776H1121H3478H425611And the lot of the Benjamites came up according to their families; and the territory of their lot fell between the tribes of Judah and Joseph.H1486H4294H1121H1144H5927H4940H1366H1486H3318H1121H3063H1121H313012On the north side their boundary began at the Jordan; then it went up to the shoulder of Jericho on the north and up through the hill country westward and ended at the Beth-aven wilderness.H1366H6828H6285H3383H1366H5927H3802H3405H6828H5927H2022H3220H8444H4057H100713Then the boundary passed over southward toward Luz, to the shoulder of Luz (that is, Bethel); then it went down to Ataroth-addar by the mountain that lies south of Lower Beth-horon.H1366H5674H3870H3802H3870H1008H5045H1366H3381H5853H2022H5045H8481H103214The boundary extended from there, and turning about on the western side southward from the mountain that lies to the south opposite Beth-horon, it ended at Kiriath-baal (that is, Kiriath-jearim), a city of the tribe of Judah. This formed the western side [of Benjamin's territory].H1366H8388H5437H6285H3220H5045H2022H6440H1032H5045H8444H7154H7157H5892H1121H3063H3220H628515The southern side began at the edge of Kiriath-jearim, and the boundary went on westward to the spring of the waters of Nephtoah.H5045H6285H7097H7157H1366H3318H3220H3318H4599H4325H531816Then the boundary went down to the edge of the mountain overlooking the Valley of Ben-hinnom [son of Hinnom], which is at the north end of the Valley of Rephaim; and it descended to the Valley of Hinnom, south of the shoulder of the Jebusites, and went on down to En-rogel.H1366H3381H7097H2022H6440H1516H1121H2011H6010H7497H6828H3381H1516H2011H3802H2983H5045H3381H588317Then it bent toward the north and went on to En-shemesh and on to Geliloth, which was opposite the ascent of Adummim, and went down to the Stone of Bohan son of Reuben.H8388H6828H3318H5885H3318H1553H5227H4608H131H3381H68H932H1121H720518And it went on to the north of the shoulder [of Beth]-Arabah and down to the Arabah.H5674H3802H4136H6160H6828H3381H616019Then the boundary passed along to the north of the shoulder of Beth-hoglah and ended at the northern bay of the Salt [Dead] Sea, at the south end of the Jordan. This was the southern border.H1366H5674H3802H1031H6828H8444H1366H6828H3956H4417H3220H5045H7097H3383H5045H136620And the Jordan was its boundary on the east side. This was the inheritance of the sons of Benjamin by their boundaries round about, according to their families.H3383H1379H6924H6285H5159H1121H1144H1367H5439H494021Now the cities of the tribe of Benjamin according to [their] families were: Jericho, Beth-hoglah, Emek-keziz,H5892H4294H1121H1144H4940H3405H1031H6010H710422Beth-arabah, Zemaraim, Bethel,H1026H6787H100823Avvim, Parah, Ophrah,H5761H6511H608424Chephar-ammoni, Ophni, and Geba; twelve cities with their villages;H3726H6078H1387H8147H6240H5892H269125Gibeon, Ramah, Beeroth,H1391H7414H88126Mizpah, Chephirah, Mozah,H4708H3716H468127Rekem, Irpeel, Taralah,H7552H3416H863428Zelah, Haeleph, the Jebusite [city]--that is, Jerusalem--Gibeah, and Kiriath-[jearim]; fourteen cities with their villages.
