Joshua 18

18And the whole congregation of the children of Israel assembled together ^aat Shiloh, and set up the tabernacle of the congregation there. And the land was subdued before them. ²And there remained among the children of Israel seven tribes, which had not yet received their inheritance. ³And Joshua said unto the children of Israel, ^bHow long are ye slack to go to possess the land, which the Lord God of your fathers hath given you? ⁴Give 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. ⁵And they shall divide it into seven parts: ^cJudah shall abide in their coast on the south, and ^dthe house of Joseph shall abide in their coasts on the north. ⁶Ye shall therefore describe the land into seven parts, and bring the description hither to me, ^ethat I may cast lots for you here before the Lord our God. ^7fBut the Levites have no part among you; for the priesthood of the Lord is their inheritance: ^gand 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. ⁸And 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. ⁹And 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. ¹⁰And Joshua cast lots for them in Shiloh before the Lord: and there Joshua divided the land unto the children of Israel according to ^htheir divisions.

¹¹And 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. ¹²ⁱAnd 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 ⁱat the wilderness of ^jBeth-aven. ¹³And the border went over from thence toward Luz, to the side of Luz, ^kwhich is Beth-el, southward; and the border descended to ^lAtaroth-adar, near the hill that lieth on the south side ^mof the nether Beth-horon. ¹⁴And the border was drawn thence, and compassed the corner of the sea southward, from the hill that lieth before ^mBeth-horon southward; and the goings out thereof were at ⁿKirjath-baal, which is Kirjath-jearim, a city of the children of Judah: this was the west quarter. ¹⁵And the south quarter was from the end of Kirjath-jearim, and the border went out on the west, and went out to ^othe well of waters of Nephtoah: ¹⁶And the border came down to the end of the mountain that lieth before the valley of the son of Hinnom, and which is in ^pthe valley of the giants on the north, and descended to the ^qvalley of Hinnom, to the side of Jebusi on the south, and descended to ^rEn-rogel, ¹⁷And was drawn from the north, and went forth to ^rEn-shemesh, and went forth toward ^sGeliloth, which is over against the going up of Adummim, and descended to ^tthe stone of Bohan the son of Reuben, ¹⁸And passed along toward the side over against ^||Arabah northward, and went down unto Arabah: ¹⁹And the border passed along to the side of ^uBeth-hoglah 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. ²⁰And 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.

²¹Now the cities of the tribe of the children of Benjamin according to their families were ^wJericho, and ^uBeth-hoglah, and the valley of Keziz, ²²And ^xBeth-arabah, and ^yZemaraim, and ^zBeth-el, ²³And Avim, and Parah, and ^aOphrah, ²⁴And Chephar-haammonai, and Ophni, and ^bGaba; twelve cities with their villages: ^25cGibeon, and ^dRamah, and ^eBeeroth, ²⁶And ^fMizpeh, and ^eChephirah, and Mozah, ²⁷And Rekem, and Irpeel, and Taralah, ²⁸And ^gZelah, Eleph, and ^hJebusi, which is Jerusalem, ⁱGibeath, and ^kKirjath; fourteen cities with their villages. This is the inheritance of the children of Benjamin according to their families.
