1Then the whole<3605> congregation<5712> of the sons<1121> of Israel<3478> assembled<6950> themselves at Shiloh<7887>, and set<7931> up the tent<168> of meeting<4150> there<8033>; and the land<776> was subdued<3533> before<6440> them.
2There remained<3498> among the sons<1121> of Israel<3478> seven<7651> tribes<7626> who<834> had not divided<2505> their inheritance<5159>.
3So Joshua<3091> said<559> to the sons<1121> of Israel<3478>, "How<575> long<5704> will you put<7503> off<7503> entering<935> to take<3423> possession<3423> of the land<776> which<834> the LORD<3068>, the God<430> of your fathers<1>, has given<5414> you?
4"Provide<3051> for yourselves three<7969> men<376> from each tribe<7626> that I may send<7971> them, and that they may arise<6965> and walk<1980> through the land<776> and write<3789> a description of it according<6310> to their inheritance<5159>; then they shall return<935> to me.
5"They shall divide<2505> it into seven<7651> portions<2506>; Judah<3063> shall stay<5975> in its territory<1366> on the south<5045>, and the house<1004> of Joseph<3130> shall stay<5975> in their territory<1366> on the north<6828>.
6"You shall describe<3789> the land<776> in seven<7651> divisions<2506>, and bring<935> the description here<2008> to me. I will cast<3384> lots<1486> for you here<6311> before<6440> the LORD<3068> our God<430>.
7"For the Levites<3881> have<369> no<369> portion<2506> among<7130> you, because<3588> the priesthood<3550> of the LORD<3068> is their inheritance<5159>. Gad<1410> and Reuben<7205> and the half-tribe<2677><7626> of Manasseh<4519> also have received<3947> their inheritance<5159> eastward<4217> beyond<4480><5676> the Jordan<3383>, which<834> Moses<4872> the servant<5650> of the LORD<3068> gave<5414> them."
8Then the men<376> arose<6965> and went<1980>, and Joshua<3091> commanded<6680> those who went<1980> to describe<3789> the land<776>, saying<559>, "Go<1980> and walk<1980> through the land<776> and describe<3789> it, and return<7725> to me; then I will cast<7993> lots<1486> for you here<6311> before<6440> the LORD<3068> in Shiloh<7887>."
9So the men<376> went<1980> and passed<5674> through the land<776>, and described<3789> it by cities<5892> in seven<7651> divisions<2506> in a book<5612>; and they came<935> to Joshua<3091> to the camp<4264> at Shiloh<7887>.
10And Joshua<3091> cast<7993> lots<1486> for them in Shiloh<7887> before<6440> the LORD<3068>, and there<8033> Joshua<3091> divided<2505> the land<776> to the sons<1121> of Israel<3478> according to their divisions<4256>.
11Now the lot<1486> of the tribe<4294> of the sons<1121> of Benjamin<1144> came<5927> up according to their families<4940>, and the territory<1366> of their lot<1486> lay<3318> between<996> the sons<1121> of Judah<3063> and the sons<1121> of Joseph<3130>.
12Their border<1366> on the north<6828> side<6285> was from the Jordan<3383>, then the border<1366> went<5927> up to the side<3802> of Jericho<3405> on the north<6828>, and went<5927> up through the hill<2022> country<2022> westward<3220>, and it ended<1961><8444> at the wilderness<4057> of Beth-aven<1007>.
13From there<8033> the border<1366> continued<5674> to Luz<3870>, to the side<3802> of Luz<3870> (that is, Bethel<1008>) southward<5045>; and the border<1366> went<3381> down<3381> to Ataroth-addar<5853>, near<5921> the hill<2022> which<834> lies on the south<5045> of lower<8481> Beth-horon<1032>.
14The border<1366> extended<8388> from there and turned<5437> round<5437> on the west<3220> side<6285> southward<5045>, from the hill<2022> which<834> lies before<5921><6440> Beth-horon<1032> southward<5045>; and it ended<1961><8444> at Kiriath-baal<7154> (that is, Kiriath-jearim<7157>), a city<5892> of the sons<1121> of Judah<3063>. This<2088> was the west<3220> side<6285>.
15Then the south<5045> side<6285> was from the edge<7097> of Kiriath-jearim<7157>, and the border<1366> went<3318> westward<3220> and went<3318> to the fountain<4599> of the waters<4325> of Nephtoah<5318>.
16The border<1366> went<3381> down<3381> to the edge<7097> of the hill<2022> which<834> is in the valley<1516> of Ben-hinnom<1121><2011>, which<834> is in the valley<6010> of Rephaim<7497> northward<6828>; and it went<3381> down<3381> to the valley<1516> of Hinnom<2011>, to the slope<3802> of the Jebusite<2983> southward<5045>, and went<3381> down<3381> to En-rogel<5883>.
17It extended<8388> northward<6828> and went<3318> to En-shemesh<5885> and went<3318> to Geliloth<1553>, which<834> is opposite<5227> the ascent<4608> of Adummim<131>, and it went<3381> down<3381> to the stone<68> of Bohan<932> the son<1121> of Reuben<7205>.
18It continued<5674> to the side<3802> in front<4136> of the Arabah<6160> northward<6828> and went<3381> down<3381> to the Arabah<6160>.
19The border<1366> continued<5674> to the side<3802> of Beth-hoglah<1031> northward<6828>; and the border<1366> ended<1961><8444> at the north<6828> bay<3956> of the Salt<4417> Sea<3220>, at the south<5045> end<7097> of the Jordan<3383>. This<2088> was the south<5045> border<1366>.
20Moreover, the Jordan<3383> was its border<1379> on the east<6924> side<6285>. This<2088> was the inheritance<5159> of the sons<1121> of Benjamin<1144>, according to their families<4940> and according to its borders<1367> all<5439> around<5439>.
21Now the cities<5892> of the tribe<4294> of the sons<1121> of Benjamin<1144> according to their families<4940> were Jericho<3405> and Beth-hoglah<1031> and Emek-keziz<6010><7104>,
22and Beth-arabah<1026> and Zemaraim<6787> and Bethel<1008>,
23and Avvim<5761> and Parah<6511> and Ophrah<6084>,
24and Chephar-ammoni<3726> and Ophni<6078> and Geba<1387>; twelve<8147><6240> cities<5892> with their villages<2691>.
25Gibeon<1391> and Ramah<7414> and Beeroth<881>,
26and Mizpeh<4708> and Chephirah<3716> and Mozah<4681>,
27and Rekem<7552> and Irpeel<3416> and Taralah<8634>,
28and Zelah<6762>, Haeleph<507> and the Jebusite<2983> (that is, Jerusalem<3389>), Gibeah<1390>, Kiriath<7157>; fourteen<702><6240> cities<5892> with their villages<2691>. This<2088> is the inheritance<5159> of the sons<1121> of Benjamin<1144> according to their families<4940>.
