Joshua 18:6-19
6And ye shall describeH3789 the landH776 intoH413 sevenH7651 portionsH2506, and bringH935 the description hither to meH413: and I will castH3384 lotsH1486 for youH859 hereH6311 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068 our GodH430.
7For the LevitesH3881 have noH369 portionH2506 among youH834; for the priesthoodH3550 of the LORDH3068 is their inheritanceH5159: and GadH1410 and ReubenH7205 and the halfH2677 tribeH7626 of ManassehH4519 have receivedH3947 their inheritanceH5159 beyondH5676 JordanH3383 eastwardH4217, whichH834 MosesH4872 the servantH5650 of the LORDH3068 gaveH5414 them.
8And the menH376 aroseH6965, and wentH1980: and JoshuaH3091 chargedH6680 them that wentH1980 to describeH3789 the landH776, sayingH559, GoH1980 and walkH1980 throughH1980 the landH776, and describeH3789 it, and comeH1980 againH7725 to meH413, and I will castH7993 lotsH1486 for youH6680 hereH6311 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068 in ShilohH7887.
9And the menH376 wentH935 and passedH5674 throughH5674 the landH776, and describedH3789 it by citiesH5892 intoH413 sevenH7651 portionsH2506 in a bookH5612, and they cameH935 to JoshuaH3091 unto the campH4264 at ShilohH7887.
10And JoshuaH3091 castH7993 lotsH1486 for them in ShilohH7887 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068: 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 cameH3318 upH5927 according to their familiesH4940: and the borderH1366 of their lotH1486 wentH3318 outH3318 betweenH996 the childrenH1121 of JudahH3063 and the childrenH1121 of JosephH3130.
12And their borderH1366 on the northH6828 quarter was from JordanH3383; and the borderH1366 wentH5927 upH5927 to the sideH6285 of JerichoH3405 on the northH6828, and wentH5927 upH5927 throughH4480 the hillH2022 countryH2022 westwardH3220; and the goings outH4480 thereof were at the wildernessH4057 of Beth-aven.
13And the borderH1366 passedH5674 alongH5921 from thence to LuzH3870, to the sideH3802 of LuzH3870 (the sameH1931 is Beth-el), southwardH5045; and the borderH1366 wentH3381 downH3381 to Ataroth-addarH5853, by the mountainH2022 that lieth on the southH5045 of Beth-horonH1032 the nether.
14And the borderH1366 was drawn and turnedH5437 aboutH1961 on the westH3220 quarter southwardH5045, from the mountainH2022 that lieth beforeH6440 Beth-horonH1032 southwardH5045; and the goings outH4480 thereof were at Kirjath-baal (the sameH1931 is Kiriath-jearimH7157), a cityH5892 of the childrenH1121 of JudahH3063: this was the westH3220 quarter.
15And the southH5045 quarter was from the uttermost part of Kirjath-jearim, and the borderH1366 wentH3318 outH3318 westwardH3220, and wentH3318 outH3318 to the fountainH4599 of the watersH4325 of NephtoahH5318:
16and the borderH1366 wentH3381 downH3381 to the uttermost partH5921 of the mountainH2022 that lieth beforeH6440 the valleyH6010 of the sonH1121 of HinnomH2011, whichH834 is in the vale of RephaimH7497 northwardH6828; and it wentH3381 downH3381 to the valleyH6010 of HinnomH2011, to the sideH3802 of the JebusiteH2983 southwardH5045, and wentH3381 downH3381 to En-rogelH5883;
17and it was drawnH3318 on the northH6828, and wentH3318 outH3318 at En-shemeshH5885, and wentH3318 outH3318 to GelilothH1553, whichH834 is over againstH413 the ascentH4608 of AdummimH131; and it wentH3318 downH3381 to the stoneH68 of BohanH932 the sonH1121 of ReubenH7205;
18and it passedH5674 alongH413 to the sideH3802 over againstH413 the ArabahH6160 northwardH6828, and wentH3381 downH3381 unto the ArabahH6160:
19and the borderH1366 passedH5674 alongH413 to the sideH3802 of Beth-hoglahH1031 northwardH6828: and the goings outH413 of the borderH1366 were at the northH6828 bayH3956 of the SaltH4417 SeaH3220, at the southH5045 endH7097 of JordanH3383: this was the southH5045 borderH1366.
