06:018:001 And the whole congregation of the children of Israel assembled
together at Shiloh, and set up the tabernacle of the
congregation there. And the land was subdued before them.
06:018:002 And there remained among the children of Israel seven tribes,
which had not yet received their inheritance.
06:018:003 And Joshua said unto the children of Israel, How long are ye
slack to go to possess the land, which the LORD God of your
fathers hath given you?
06:018:004 Give out from among you three men for each tribe: and I will
send them, and they shall rise, and go through the land, and
describe it according to the inheritance of them; and they
shall come again to me.
06:018:005 And they shall divide it into seven parts: Judah shall abide
in their coast on the south, and the house of Joseph shall
abide in their coasts on the north.
06:018:006 Ye shall therefore describe the land into seven parts, and
bring the description hither to me, that I may cast lots for
you here before the LORD our God.
06:018:007 But the Levites have no part among you; for the priesthood of
the LORD is their inheritance: and Gad, and Reuben, and half
the tribe of Manasseh, have received their inheritance beyond
Jordan on the east, which Moses the servant of the LORD gave
them.
06:018:008 And the men arose, and went away: and Joshua charged them that
went to describe the land, saying, Go and walk through the
land, and describe it, and come again to me, that I may here
cast lots for you before the LORD in Shiloh.
06:018:009 And the men went and passed through the land, and described it
by cities into seven parts in a book, and came again to Joshua
to the host at Shiloh.
06:018:010 And Joshua cast lots for them in Shiloh before the LORD: and
there Joshua divided the land unto the children of Israel
according to their divisions.
06:018:011 And the lot of the tribe of the children of Benjamin came up
according to their families: and the coast of their lot came
forth between the children of Judah and the children of
Joseph.
06:018:012 And their border on the north side was from Jordan; and the
border went up to the side of Jericho on the north side, and
went up through the mountains westward; and the goings out
thereof were at the wilderness of Bethaven.
06:018:013 And the border went over from thence toward Luz, to the side
of Luz, which is Bethel, southward; and the border descended
to Atarothadar, near the hill that lieth on the south side of
the nether Bethhoron.
06:018:014 And the border was drawn thence, and compassed the corner of
the sea southward, from the hill that lieth before Bethhoron
southward; and the goings out thereof were at Kirjathbaal,
which is Kirjathjearim, a city of the children of Judah: this
was the west quarter.
06:018:015 And the south quarter was from the end of Kirjathjearim, and
the border went out on the west, and went out to the well of
waters of Nephtoah:
06:018:016 And the border came down to the end of the mountain that lieth
before the valley of the son of Hinnom, and which is in the
valley of the giants on the north, and descended to the valley
of Hinnom, to the side of Jebusi on the south, and descended
to Enrogel,
06:018:017 And was drawn from the north, and went forth to Enshemesh, and
went forth toward Geliloth, which is over against the going up
of Adummim, and descended to the stone of Bohan the son of
Reuben,
06:018:018 And passed along toward the side over against Arabah
northward, and went down unto Arabah:
06:018:019 And the border passed along to the side of Bethhoglah
northward: and the outgoings of the border were at the north
bay of the salt sea at the south end of Jordan: this was the
south coast.
06:018:020 And Jordan was the border of it on the east side. This was the
inheritance of the children of Benjamin, by the coasts thereof
round about, according to their families.
06:018:021 Now the cities of the tribe of the children of Benjamin
according to their families were Jericho, and Bethhoglah, and
the valley of Keziz,
06:018:022 And Betharabah, and Zemaraim, and Bethel,
06:018:023 And Avim, and Pharah, and Ophrah,
06:018:024 And Chepharhaammonai, and Ophni, and Gaba; twelve cities with
their villages:
06:018:025 Gibeon, and Ramah, and Beeroth,
06:018:026 And Mizpeh, and Chephirah, and Mozah,
06:018:027 And Rekem, and Irpeel, and Taralah,
06:018:028 And Zelah, Eleph, and Jebusi, which is Jerusalem, Gibeath, and
Kirjath; fourteen cities with their villages. This is the
inheritance of the children of Benjamin according to their
families.
