Joshua 18

1And the whole assemblyH5712 of the children of IsraelH3478 gathered togetherH6950 at ShilohH7887, and set up the tentH168 of meetingH4150 there; and the landH776 was subduedH3533 before them. 2And there remainedH3498 among the children of IsraelH3478 sevenH7651 tribesH7626 whose inheritanceH5159 had not been distributed to them. 3And JoshuaH3091 saidH559 to the children of IsraelH3478, How long will ye shew yourselves slackH7503 to goH935 to takeH3423 possessionH3423 of the landH776 which Jehovah the 1GodH430 of your fathersH1 hath givenH5414 you? 4ProvideH3051 you threeH7969 menH376 for a tribeH7626; that I may sendH7971 them, and they shall riseH6965 and goH1980 through the landH776, and describeH3789 it according to the proportion of their inheritanceH5159, and they shall comeH935 to me. 5And they shall divideH2505 it into sevenH7651 portionsH2506. JudahH3063 shall remainH5975 in their borderH1366 on the southH5045, and the houseH1004 of JosephH3130 shall remainH5975 in their borderH1366 on the northH6828; 6and ye shall describeH3789 the landH776 into sevenH7651 portionsH2506, and bringH935 [the description] hither to me, and I will cast lotsH1486 for you hereH6311 before Jehovah our 2GodH430. 7But the LevitesH3881 have no portionH2506 among you, for the priesthoodH3550 of Jehovah is their inheritanceH5159. And GadH1410, and ReubenH7205, and halfH2677 the tribeH7626 of ManassehH4519 have receivedH3947 their inheritanceH5159 beyond the JordanH3383 on the eastH4217, which MosesH4872 the servantH5650 of Jehovah gaveH5414 them. 8And the menH376 aroseH6965 and wentH1980 awayH7725. And JoshuaH3091 charged them that wentH1980 to describeH3789 the landH776, sayingH559, GoH1980 and walkH1980 through the landH776, and describeH3789 it, and comeH1980 again to me, and I will castH7993 lotsH1486 for you hereH6311 before Jehovah in ShilohH7887. 9And the menH376 wentH935 and passedH5674 through the landH776, and describedH3789 it by citiesH5892 into sevenH7651 portionsH2506, in a bookH5612, and they cameH935 to JoshuaH3091, to the campH4264 at ShilohH7887. 10And JoshuaH3091 castH7993 lotsH1486 for them in ShilohH7887 before Jehovah. And there JoshuaH3091 dividedH2505 the landH776 to the children of IsraelH3478 according to their divisionsH4256. 11And the lotH1486 of the tribeH4294 of the children of BenjaminH1144 cameH3318 up according to their familiesH4940. And the territoryH1366 of their lotH1486 cameH3318 forthH3318 between the children of JudahH3063 and the children of JosephH3130. 12And their borderH1366 on the northH6828 sideH6285 wasH1961 from the JordanH3383; and the borderH1366 wentH5927 up to the sideH6285 of JerichoH3405 on the northH6828, and wentH5927 up to the mountainH2022 westward; and ended at the wildernessH4057 of Beth-Aven; 13and the borderH1366 passedH5674 on from thence toward LuzH3870, to the southH5045 sideH3802 of LuzH3870, which is Bethel: and the borderH1366 wentH3381 downH3381 to Ataroth-AddarH5853, near the hillH2022 that is on the southH5045 of the lower Beth-horonH1032. 14— And the borderH1366 reached along and turnedH5437 on the westH3220 sideH6285, southward from the hillH2022 that is before Beth-horonH1032 southward; and ended at Kirjath-Baal, which is Kirjath-jearim, a cityH5892 of the children of JudahH3063: this is the westH3220 sideH6285. 15— And the southH5045 sideH6285 was from the extreme endH7097 of Kirjath-jearim, and the borderH1366 wentH3318 out on the westH3220, and wentH3318 out to the springH4599 of the watersH4325 of NephtoahH5318. 16And the borderH1366 wentH3381 downH3381 to the endH7097 of the mountainH2022 that is before the valleyH6010 of the sonH1121 of HinnomH2011, which is in the valleyH6010 of RephaimH7497 on the northH6828, and wentH3381 down the valleyH6010 of HinnomH2011, to the sideH3802 of the JebusiteH2983 on the southH5045, and wentH3381 downH3381 to En-rogelH5883; 17and it reached along on the northH6828, and wentH3318 forthH3318 to En-shemeshH5885, and wentH3318 forthH3318 towards Geliloth, which is oppositeH5227 to the ascentH4608 of AdummimH131, and wentH3318 downH3381 to the stoneH68 of BohanH932, the sonH1121 of ReubenH7205, 18and passedH5674 along towards the sideH3802 oppositeH4136 to ArabahH6160 northwards, and wentH3381 downH3381 to ArabahH6160; 19and the borderH1366 passedH5674 on to the sideH3802 of Beth-hoglahH1031 on the northH6828, and the borderH1366 ended at the tongueH3956 of the saltH4417 seaH3220 northward, at the southH5045 endH7097 of the JordanH3383: this is the southern borderH1366. 20— And the JordanH3383 bordersH1367 it on the eastH6924 sideH6285. — This was the inheritanceH5159 of the children of BenjaminH1144, according to its bordersH1367 roundH5439 about, according to their familiesH4940. 21And the citiesH5892 of the tribeH4294 of the children of BenjaminH1144 according to their familiesH4940 wereH1961: JerichoH3405, and Beth-hoglahH1031, and Emek-Keziz, 22and Beth-ArabahH1026, and ZemaraimH6787, and Bethel, 23and Avvim, and Parah, and OphrahH6084, 24and Chephar-haammonai, and Ophni, and GebaH1387: twelve citiesH5892 and their hamlets; 25GibeonH1391, and RamahH7414, and BeerothH881, 26and Mizpeh, and Chephirah, and Mozah, 27and RekemH7552, and Jirpeel, and Tharalah, 28and Zelah, Eleph, and Jebusi, that is, JerusalemH3389, Gibeah, Kirjath: fourteen citiesH5892 and their hamlets.
