18 And 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. And there remained among the children of Israel seven tribes, which had not yet received their inheritance. And 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? 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. And 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. Ye 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. fBut 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. 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. 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. 10 And 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.

11 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. 12 iAnd 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. 13 And 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. 14 And 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. 15 And 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: 16 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 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, 17 And 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, 18 And passed along toward the side over against ||Arabah northward, and went down unto Arabah: 19 And 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. 20 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.

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