JOS-18:1 And the whole congregation of the children of Israel
assembled together at Shiloh, and set up the tabernacle of the
congregation there. And the land was subdued before them.
JOS-18:2 And there remained among the children of Israel seven
tribes, which had not yet received their inheritance.
JOS-18:3 And Joshua said unto the children of Israel, How long
[are] ye slack to go to possess the land, which the LORD God of
your fathers hath given you?
JOS-18:4 Give out from among you three men for [each] tribe: and
I will send them, and they shall rise, and go through the land,
and describe it according to the inheritance of them; and they
shall come [again] to me.
JOS-18:5 And they shall divide it into seven parts: Judah shall
abide in their coast on the south, and the house of Joseph shall
abide in their coasts on the north.
JOS-18:6 Ye shall therefore describe the land [into] seven parts,
and bring [the description] hither to me, that I may cast lots
for you here before the LORD our God.
JOS-18:7 But the Levites have no part among you; for the
priesthood of the LORD [is] their inheritance: and Gad, and
Reuben, and half the tribe of Manasseh, have received their
inheritance beyond Jordan on the east, which Moses the servant
of the LORD gave them.
JOS-18:8 And the men arose, and went away: and Joshua charged
them that went to describe the land, saying, Go and walk through
the land, and describe it, and come again to me, that I may here
cast lots for you before the LORD in Shiloh.
JOS-18:9 And the men went and passed through the land, and
described it by cities into seven parts in a book, and came
[again] to Joshua to the host at Shiloh.
JOS-18:10 And Joshua cast lots for them in Shiloh before the
LORD: and there Joshua divided the land unto the children of
Israel according to their divisions.
JOS-18:11 And the lot of the tribe of the children of Benjamin
came up according to their families: and the coast of their lot
came forth between the children of Judah and the children of
Joseph.
JOS-18:12 And their border on the north side was from Jordan;
and the border went up to the side of Jericho on the north side,
and went up through the mountains westward; and the goings out
thereof were at the wilderness of Bethaven.
JOS-18:13 And the border went over from thence toward Luz, to
the side of Luz, which [is] Bethel, southward; and the border
descended to Atarothadar, near the hill that [lieth] on the
south side of the nether Bethhoron.
JOS-18:14 And the border was drawn [thence], and compassed the
corner of the sea southward, from the hill that [lieth] before
Bethhoron southward; and the goings out thereof were at
Kirjathbaal, which [is] Kirjathjearim, a city of the children of
Judah: this [was] the west quarter.
JOS-18:15 And the south quarter [was] from the end of
Kirjathjearim, and the border went out on the west, and went out
to the well of waters of Nephtoah:
JOS-18:16 And the border came down to the end of the mountain
that [lieth] before the valley of the son of Hinnom, [and] which
[is] in the valley of the giants on the north, and descended to
the valley of Hinnom, to the side of Jebusi on the south, and
descended to Enrogel,
JOS-18:17 And was drawn from the north, and went forth to
Enshemesh, and went forth toward Geliloth, which [is] over
against the going up of Adummim, and descended to the stone of
Bohan the son of Reuben,
JOS-18:18 And passed along toward the side over against Arabah
northward, and went down unto Arabah:
JOS-18:19 And the border passed along to the side of Bethhoglah
northward: and the outgoings of the border were at the north bay
of the salt sea at the south end of Jordan: this [was] the south
coast.
JOS-18:20 And Jordan was the border of it on the east side. This
[was] the inheritance of the children of Benjamin, by the coasts
thereof round about, according to their families.
JOS-18:21 Now the cities of the tribe of the children of
Benjamin according to their families were Jericho, and
Bethhoglah, and the valley of Keziz.
JOS-18:22 And Betharabah, and Zemaraim, and Bethel,
JOS-18:23 And Avim, and Parah, and Ophrah,
JOS-18:24 And Chepharhaammonai, and Ophni, and Gaba; twelve
cities with their villages:
JOS-18:25 Gibeon, and Ramah, and Beeroth,
JOS-18:26 And Mizpeh, and Chephirah, and Mozah,
JOS-18:27 And Rekem, and Irpeel, and Taralah,
JOS-18:28 And Zelah, Eleph, and Jebusi, which [is] Jerusalem,
Gibeath, [and] Kirjath; fourteen cities with their villages.
This [is] the inheritance of the children of Benjamin according
to their families.
