Then
the whole congregation of Israel assembled at Shiloh and set up the Tent of Meeting there .
And though
the land was subdued before them ,
And
the whole congregation of the
children
of
Israel assembled themselves
together
at Shiloh ,
and set up the tent of meeting there :
and the land was subdued before them .
there were
still
seven
tribes
of Israel who
had not yet received
their inheritance.
And
there remained
among
the
children
of Israel seven
tribes,
which
had not yet divided
their inheritance.
So
Joshua said to
the Israelites
, “
How long will
you
put
off
entering
and
possessing
the land that
the
LORD
, the God of your fathers, has
given you?
And
Joshua said unto
the children
of
Israel
, How long are
ye
slack
to
go
in
to
possess
the land, which
Jehovah,
the God of your fathers, hath
given you?
Appoint three men from
each tribe ,
and I will send them out
to
survey
the land and map
it out,
according to the
inheritance of
each.
Then
they will
return
to
me
Appoint for
you
three men of
each tribe :
and I will send them ,
and
they
shall
arise,
and
walk
through
the land ,
and describe
it according to their
inheritance ;
and
they shall
come
unto
me .
and divide the
land
into seven portions .
Judah shall remain
in
their
territory
in the south, and the house of Joseph shall remain
in their territory
in
the north.
And they
shall
divide it
into seven portions :
Judah shall abide
in his
border
on
the south, and the house of Joseph shall abide
in their border
on
the north.
When
you
have
mapped
out
the seven portions of
land
and brought
it
to me ,
I will cast lots for you here in
the
presence
of
the
LORD
our God.
And
ye
shall
describe
the land
into
seven portions ,
and bring
`the
description'
hither
to me ;
and
I will cast lots for you here before
Jehovah
our God.
The Levites ,
however,
have no portion among you ,
because
their
inheritance
is
the priesthood of the
LORD.
And Gad ,
Reuben ,
and half
the tribe of Manasseh have already
received the
inheritance that
Moses the servant of the
LORD
gave them beyond
the
Jordan
to
the
east
. ”
For
the Levites have no portion among you ;
for
the priesthood of Jehovah
is
their
inheritance:
and Gad and
Reuben and the half-
tribe of Manasseh have received their
inheritance beyond
the
Jordan
eastward,
which
Moses the servant of Jehovah
gave them.
As
the men got
up
to
go
out
, Joshua commanded
them to map
out
the land, saying, “
Go and survey
the land, map
it out
, and return
to me .
Then
I will cast lots for you here in Shiloh in
the
presence
of
the
LORD
. ”
And
the men arose
, and
went:
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 ;
and
I will cast lots for you here before
Jehovah
in Shiloh.
So
the men departed
and
went throughout
the land, mapping
it city
by city
into seven portions .
Then
they returned
with
the
document
to Joshua at
the camp in
Shiloh.
And
the men went and
passed
through
the land, and
described
it by cities
into seven portions in
a
book;
and
they came
to Joshua unto
the camp at
Shiloh.
And Joshua cast lots for them in the
presence
of
the
LORD
at
Shiloh ,
where
he
distributed
the land to
the Israelites
according to their divisions.
And Joshua cast lots for them in Shiloh before
Jehovah:
and
there
Joshua
divided
the land unto
the children
of
Israel
according to their divisions.
The first
lot came
up
for
the
clans
of the tribe of Benjamin .
Their allotted
territory
lay
between the tribes
of Judah and Joseph :
And
the lot of the tribe of the
children
of
Benjamin came
up
according
to
their families:
and
the
border
of
their
lot
went
out
between the children
of Judah and the
children
of
Joseph .
On the north side
their
border
began
at
the Jordan ,
went up past
the northern
slope
of Jericho, headed
west
through the hill country ,
and came
out at the wilderness of Beth-aven.
And
their
border
on the north quarter
was
from
the Jordan ;
and
the
border
went up to
the side
of Jericho on
the
north
, and
went
up
through the hill -
country westward;
and the
goings
out thereof
were
at the wilderness of Beth-aven.
From
there
the border crossed
over
to the southern
slope
of Luz ( that
is ,
Bethel
) and went down to Ataroth-addar on the hill
south of Lower
Beth-horon.
And
the border passed
along
from
thence
to Luz,
to
the side
of Luz ( the
same
is Beth-el
) ,
southward;
and the
border
went down to Ataroth-addar ,
by
the
mountain
that
lieth
on the south of Beth-horon the
nether
.
On the west side
the
border
curved
southward from the hill
facing
Beth-horon on
the
south
and came
out at Kiriath-baal ( that
is ,
Kiriath-jearim), a city of the sons
of Judah .
This was the western
side
.
And
the
border
extended
`thence',
and
turned
about
on the west quarter
southward ,
from the mountain
that
lieth
before
Beth-horon southward;
and the
goings
out thereof
were
at Kiriath-baal ( the
same
is Kiriath-jearim), a city of the children
of Judah :
this was the west
quarter
.
On
the south side
the
border
began
at
the outskirts
of Kiriath-jearim and extended
westward to the spring
at
the Waters of Nephtoah .
And
the south quarter
was
from
the uttermost
part
of Kiriath-jearim ;
and the
border
went
out
westward ,
and
went
out
to the fountain
of
the waters of Nephtoah ;
Then
it
went down to the foot
of the hill
that faces
the Valley of Hinnom
at
the northern
end
of the Valley
of Rephaim and ran
down the Valley of Hinnom toward
the southern
slope
of the Jebusites
and downward
to En-rogel .
and
the
border
went down to the uttermost
part
of the mountain
that lieth
before
the valley of the son
of Hinnom,
which
is
in
the vale
of Rephaim northward;
and it
went
down to
the valley of Hinnom ,
to
the side
of the Jebusite
southward,
and went
down
to En-rogel ;
From
there
it curved
northward and proceeded
to
En-shemesh and on
to Geliloth facing
the Ascent of Adummim ,
and continued
down to the Stone of Bohan son of Reuben .
and
it extended
northward ,
and went
out
at
En-shemesh ,
and went
out
to Geliloth ,
which
is
over
against
the ascent of Adummim ;
and it
went
down to the stone of Bohan the
son of Reuben ;
Then
it went
on
to the northern
slope
of
Beth-
arabah and went down into
the valley.
and
it passed
along
to the side
over
against
the
Arabah northward,
and went down unto
the Arabah;
The border continued
to the northern
slope
of Beth-hoglah and came
out at the northern
bay of the Salt Sea, at the mouth
of the Jordan .
This was the southern
border.
and
the border passed
along
to the side
of Beth-hoglah northward;
and the
goings
out of
the
border
were
at the north
bay of the Salt Sea, at the south
end
of the Jordan :
this was the south
border.
On
the east
side
the border was
the Jordan
. These
were
the
borders
around
the inheritance of the clans
of
the
tribe
of Benjamin.
And
the Jordan
was
the border of
it
on
the east
quarter
. This
was
the inheritance of the children
of Benjamin ,
by
the
borders
thereof
round
about,
according
to
their
families
.
These
were
the cities of the clans
of the tribe
of Benjamin :
Jericho, Beth-hoglah, Emek-keziz,
Now
the cities of the tribe
of the children
of Benjamin according
to
their
families
were
