Joshua 18

Then all of the congregation of the sons of Israel assembled at Shiloh, and they placed the Tent of Meeting there. And the land was subdued to their face.

And seven tribes remained among the sons of Israel {to} which they had not divided their inheritance. \*

And Joshua said to the sons of Israel, “Unto when will you slacken yourselves to enter to possess the land that God, the God of your fathers, has given to you?

Provide for yourselves three men to a tribe. And I will send them, and they shall arise and walk about in the land and write it down according to the mouth of their inheritance, and they shall come to me. \*

And they shall divide it among themselves into seven divisions. Judah will stand on its border from the south, and the house of Joseph will stand on their border from the north.

And you shall write down the land {in} seven divisions and bring them to me here. And I will throw a lot for you here to the face of God our God.

But no division {will be} within you for the Levites, because the priesthood of God {is} their inheritance. And Gad and Reuben and half of the tribe of Manasseh have received their inheritance from the other side of the Jordan toward the sunrise, which Moses, the servant of God, gave to them.” \*

And the men arose and went. And Joshua commanded the going ones to write down the land, saying, “Go and walk about in the land and write it down and return to me. And here I will throw a lot for you to the face of God in Shiloh.”

And the men went and passed over in the land, and they wrote it down upon a scroll according to the cities in seven divisions. And they came to Joshua, to the camp {at} Shiloh.

And Joshua threw a lot for them in Shiloh to the face of God. And there Joshua divided the land to the sons of Israel according to their divisions. \*

And the lot of the tribe of the sons of Benjamin according to their clans came up. And the border of their lot went out between the sons of Judah and between the sons of Joseph.

And the border for them to the mouth northward was from the Jordan. And the border went up to the shoulder of Jericho from the north, then it went up in the hill country seaward. And its goings out were from the wilderness {at} Beth Aven. \*

And the border passed over from there toward Luz, to the shoulder of Luz southward (it {is} Bethel). And the border went down {to} Ataroth Addar, beside the mountain that {is} from the south to Lower Beth Horon.

And the border turned and curved to the mouth of the sea southward from the mountain that {is} on the face of Beth Horon southward. And its goings out were at Kiriath Baal (it {is} Kiriath Jearim, a city of the sons of Judah). This {was} the mouth of the sea. \*

And the mouth southward was from the end of Kiriath Jearim. And the border went out seaward and went out to the spring of the waters of Nephtoah.

And the border went down to the end of the mountain that {is} on the face of the Valley of Ben Hinnom, which {is} in the valley of the Raphaites northward. And it went down the Valley of Hinnom to the shoulder of the Jebusite southward, then it went down {to} En Rogel. \*

Then it turned from the north and went out {to} En Shemesh. Then it went out to Geliloth, which {is} opposite the ascent of Adummim. Then it went down to the stone of Bohan, the son of Reuben.

And it passed over to the shoulder of the front of the Arabah northward and went down to the Arabah. \*

And the border passed over to the shoulder of Beth Hoglah northward. And the goings out of the border {were} at the tongue of the Sea of Salt northward, at the end of the Jordan southward. This was the border of the south.

And the Jordan borders it to the mouth eastward. This {was} the inheritance of the sons of Benjamin according to their clans, according to its borders all around. \*

And the cities of the tribe of the sons of Benjamin according to their clans were Jericho and Beth Hoglah and Emek Keziz

and Beth Arabah and Zemaraim and Bethel

and Avvim and Parah and Ophrah

and Kephar Ammoni and Ophni and Geba: 12 cities and their villages; \*

Gibeon and Ramah and Beeroth

and Mizpah and Kephirah and Mozah

and Rekem and Irpeel and Taralah

and Zelah, Haeleph, and the Jebusite (it {is} Jerusalem), Gibeah, Kiriath: 14 cities and their villages. This {was} the inheritance of the sons of Benjamin according to their clans. \*
