Joshua 18:11-28

11The first part of the land was for Benjamin's tribe, clan by clan. Their land was between the land that Joshua had already given to the tribes of Judah and Joseph.

12The north border of their land began at the Jordan River, and it went up the hills to the north of Jericho. From there it went west into the hills, to the desert of Beth Aven.

13Then their border continued to the south of Luz (that is Bethel) and went down to Ataroth Addar. That is on the hill south of Lower Beth Horon.

14From that hill, their west border went south to Kiriath Baal (that is Kiriath-Jearim). This town belonged to the people of Judah. That was the west border of Benjamin's land.

15The south border went from the edge of Kiriath-Jearim to the springs of water at Nephtoah.

16Then it went to the edge of the hill country, near Ben Hinnom valley. This was north of the Valley of the Rephaites. It continued down the Hinnom valley, south of the Jebusite city and then went on to En Rogel.

17Then it went north to En Shemesh. It continued to Geliloth, opposite the valley of Adummim. Then it went to the great stone of Bohan, Reuben's son.

18It continued to the north of Beth Arabah down into the Jordan Valley.

19Then it went north of Ben Hoglah, to the north end of the Salt Sea, where the Jordan River ends. That was the south border of Benjamin's land.

20The east border of their land was the Jordan River. Those are the borders of the land that Joshua gave to the families of Benjamin's tribe.

21These are the cities that Joshua gave to the tribe of Benjamin: Jericho, Beth Hoglah, Emek Keziz,

22Beth Arabah, Zemaraim, Bethel,

23Avvim, Parah, Ophrah,

24Kephar, Ammoni, Ophni and Geba. There were 12 towns and their villages.

25Gibeon, Ramah, Beeroth,

26Mizpah, Kephirah, Mozah,

27Rekem, Irpeel, Taralah,

28Zelah, Haeleph, the Jebusite city (that is, Jerusalem), Gibeah and Kiriath. There were 14 towns and their villages. Joshua gave these cities to Benjamin's tribe, for each clan to live in.
