Joshua 18:6-19

6Ye shall therefore describeH3789 the landH776 into sevenH7651 partsH2506, and bringH935 the description hither to me, that I may castH3384 lotsH1486 for you here beforeH6440 YhwhH3068 our GodH430. 7But the LevitesH3881 have no partH2506 amongH7130 you; for the priesthoodH3550 of YhwhH3068 is their inheritanceH5159: and GadH1410, and ReubenH7205, and halfH2677 the tribeH7626 of ManassehH4519, have receivedH3947 their inheritanceH5159 beyondH5676 JordanH3383 on the eastH4217, which MosesH4872 the servantH5650 of YhwhH3068 gaveH5414 them.

8And the menH582 aroseH6965, and went awayH3212: and JoshuaH3091 chargedH6680 them that wentH1980 to describeH3789 the landH776, sayingH559, GoH3212 and walkH1980 through the landH776, and describeH3789 it, and come againH7725 to me, that I may here castH7993 lotsH1486 for you beforeH6440 YhwhH3068 in ShilohH7887. 9And the menH582 wentH3212 and passed throughH5674 the landH776, and describedH3789 it by citiesH5892 into sevenH7651 partsH2506 in a bookH5612, and cameH935 again to JoshuaH3091 to the campH4264 at ShilohH7887.

10And JoshuaH3091 castH7993 lotsH1486 for them in ShilohH7887 beforeH6440 YhwhH3068: and there JoshuaH3091 dividedH2505 the landH776 unto the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 according to their divisionsH4256.

11And the lotH1486 of the tribeH4294 of the childrenH1121 of BenjaminH1144 came upH5927 according to their familiesH4940: and the coastH1366 of their lotH1486 came forthH3318 between the childrenH1121 of JudahH3063 and the childrenH1121 of JosephH3130. 12And their borderH1366 on the northH6828 sideH6285 was from JordanH3383; and the borderH1366 went upH5927 to the sideH3802 of JerichoH3405 on the northH6828 side, and went upH5927 through the mountainsH2022 westwardH3220; and the goings outH8444 thereof were at the wildernessH4057 of Beth–avenH1007. 13And the borderH1366 went overH5674 from thence toward LuzH3870, to the sideH3802 of LuzH3870, which is Beth–elH1008, southwardH5045; and the borderH1366 descendedH3381 to Ataroth–adarH5853, near the hillH2022 that lieth on the south sideH5045 of the netherH8481 Beth–horonH1032. 14And the borderH1366 was drawnH8388 thence, and compassedH5437 the cornerH6285 of the seaH3220 southwardH5045, from the hillH2022 that lieth beforeH6440 Beth–horonH1032 southwardH5045; and the goings outH8444 thereof were at Kirjath–baalH7154, which is Kirjath–jearimH7157, a cityH5892 of the childrenH1121 of JudahH3063: this was the westH3220 quarterH6285. 15And the southH5045 quarterH6285 was from the endH7097 of Kirjath–jearimH7157, and the borderH1366 went outH3318 on the westH3220, and went outH3318 to the wellH4599 of watersH4325 of NephtoahH5318: 16And the borderH1366 came downH3381 to the endH7097 of the mountainH2022 that lieth beforeH6440 the valleyH1516 of the sonH1121 of HinnomH2011, and which is in the valleyH6010 of the giantsH7497 on the northH6828, and descendedH3381 to the valleyH1516 of HinnomH2011, to the sideH3802 of JebusiH2983 on the southH5045, and descendedH3381 to En–rogelH5883, 17And was drawnH8388 from the northH6828, and went forthH3318 to En–shemeshH5885, and went forthH3318 toward GelilothH1553, which is over againstH5227 the going upH4608 of AdummimH131, and descendedH3381 to the stoneH68 of BohanH932 the sonH1121 of ReubenH7205, 18And passed alongH5674 toward the sideH3802 over againstH4136 ArabahH6160 northwardH6828, and went downH3381 unto ArabahH6160:1 19And the borderH1366 passed alongH5674 to the sideH3802 of Beth–hoglahH1031 northwardH6828: and the outgoingsH8444 of the borderH1366 were at the northH6828 bayH3956 of the saltH4417 seaH3220 at the southH5045 endH7097 of JordanH3383: this was the southH5045 coastH1366.2
