King James Version
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 together
at Shiloh ,
and set up the tabernacle
of the
congregation
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 received 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
to
possess
the land, which
the LORD
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
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 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 parts:
Judah shall abide
in their coast
on
the south, and the house of Joseph shall abide
in their coasts
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.
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.
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
. ”
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.
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
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
.
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 parts
in
a
book,
and
came
again
to Joshua to
the host
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
the LORD :
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
coast
of
their
lot
came
forth
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 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
.
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 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
.
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 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
.
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 end
of
Kirjathjearim,
and
the
border went
out
on
the west,
and went
out
to the well
of
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
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,
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
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 ,
Then
it
went
on
to
the northern
slope
of
Beth-
arabah and went down into
the
valley.
And
passed
along
toward
the side
over
against
Arabah northward,
and went down unto
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 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
.
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
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
.
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
Jericho, and
Bethhoglah
, and
the
valley
of
Keziz,
Beth-arabah
, Zemaraim, Bethel,
And
Betharabah
, and
Zemaraim, and
Bethel,
Avvim
, Parah
, Ophrah,
And
