Book 06 : JOSHUA - Chapter 018
018:001
And there remained among the children of Israel seven tribes,
which had not yet received their inheritance
018:002
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
018:003
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
018:004
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
018:005
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
018:006
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
018:007
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
018:008
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
018:009
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
018:010
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
018:011
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
018:012
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
018:013
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
018:014
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
018:015
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
018:016
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
018:017
And passed along toward the side over against Arabah
northward, and went down unto Arabah
018:018
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
018:019
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
018:020
Now the cities of the tribe of the children of Benjamin
according to their families were Jericho, and Bethhoglah, and
the valley of Keziz
018:021
And Betharabah, and Zemaraim, and Bethel
018:022
And Avim, and Pharah, and Ophrah
018:023
And Chepharhaammonai, and Ophni, and Gaba; twelve cities with
their villages
018:024
Gibeon, and Ramah, and Beeroth
018:025
And Mizpeh, and Chephirah, and Mozah
018:026
And Rekem, and Irpeel, and Taralah
018:027
And Zelah, Eleph, and Jebusi, which is Jerusalem, Gibeath, and
Kirjath; fourteen cities with their villages. This is the
inheritance of the children of Benjamin according to their
families
