Joshua 18 (WEBP)

[1] The whole congregation of the children of Israel assembled themselves together at Shiloh, and set up the Tent of Meeting there. The land was subdued before them.
[2] Seven tribes remained among the children of Israel, which had not yet divided their inheritance.
[3] Joshua said to the children of Israel, “How long will you neglect to go in to possess the land, which Yahweh, the God of your fathers, has given you?
[4] Appoint for yourselves three men from each tribe. I will send them, and they shall arise, walk through the land, and describe it according to their inheritance; then they shall come to me.
[5] They shall divide it into seven portions. Judah shall live in his borders on the south, and the house of Joseph shall live in their borders on the north.
[6] You shall survey the land into seven parts, and bring the description here to me; and I will cast lots for you here before Yahweh our God.
[7] However, the Levites have no portion among you; for the priesthood of Yahweh is their inheritance. Gad, Reuben, and the half-tribe of Manasseh have received their inheritance east of the Jordan, which Moses the servant of Yahweh gave them.”
[8] The men arose and went. Joshua commanded those who went to survey the land, saying, “Go walk through the land, survey it, and come again to me. I will cast lots for you here before Yahweh in Shiloh.”
[9] The men went and passed through the land, and surveyed it by cities into seven portions in a book. They came to Joshua to the camp at Shiloh.
[10] Joshua cast lots for them in Shiloh before Yahweh. There Joshua divided the land to the children of Israel according to their divisions.
[11] The lot of the tribe of the children of Benjamin came up according to their families. The border of their lot went out between the children of Judah and the children of Joseph.
[12] Their border on the north quarter was from the Jordan. The border went up to the side of Jericho on the north, and went up through the hill country westward. It ended at the wilderness of Beth Aven.
[13] The border passed along from there to Luz, to the side of Luz (also called Bethel), southward. The border went down to Ataroth Addar, by the mountain that lies on the south of Beth Horon the lower.
[14] The border extended, and turned around on the west quarter southward, from the mountain that lies before Beth Horon southward; and ended at Kiriath Baal (also called Kiriath Jearim), a city of the children of Judah. This was the west quarter.
[15] The south quarter was from the farthest part of Kiriath Jearim. The border went out westward, and went out to the spring of the waters of Nephtoah.
[16] The border went down to the farthest part of the mountain that lies before the valley of the son of Hinnom, which is in the valley of Rephaim northward. It went down to the valley of Hinnom, to the side of the Jebusite southward, and went down to En Rogel.
[17] It extended northward, went out at En Shemesh, and went out to Geliloth, which is opposite the ascent of Adummim. It went down to the stone of Bohan the son of Reuben.
[18] It passed along to the side opposite the Arabah northward, and went down to the Arabah.
[19] The border passed along to the side of Beth Hoglah northward; and the border ended at the north bay of the Salt Sea, at the south end of the Jordan. This was the south border.
[20] The Jordan was its border on the east quarter. This was the inheritance of the children of Benjamin, by the borders around it, according to their families.
[21] Now the cities of the tribe of the children of Benjamin according to their families were Jericho, Beth Hoglah, Emek Keziz,
[22] Beth Arabah, Zemaraim, Bethel,
[23] Avvim, Parah, Ophrah,
[24] Chephar Ammoni, Ophni, and Geba; twelve cities with their villages.
[25] Gibeon, Ramah, Beeroth,
[26] Mizpeh, Chephirah, Mozah,
[27] Rekem, Irpeel, Taralah,
[28] Zelah, Eleph, the Jebusite (also called Jerusalem), Gibeath, and Kiriath; fourteen cities with their villages. This is the inheritance of the children of Benjamin according to their families.

[1] 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.
[2] And there remained () among the children of Israel seven tribes, which had not yet received () their inheritance.
[3] 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?
[4] 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.
[5] 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.
[6] 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.
[7] 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.
[8] 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.
[9] 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 their 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] 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 Beth-aven.
[13] And the border went over () from thence toward Luz, to the side of Luz, which is Beth-el, southward; and the border descended () to Ataroth-addar, near the hill that lieth on the south side of 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 Beth-horon southward; and the goings out thereof were at Kirjath-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 the 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 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 En-rogel,
[17] and was drawn () from the north, and went forth () to En-shemesh, 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,
[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 Beth-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 Jericho, and Beth-hoglah, and the valley of Keziz,
[22] and Beth-arabah, and Zemaraim, and Beth-el,
[23] and Avim, and Parah, and Ophrah,
[24] and Chephar-haammonai, and Ophni, and Gaba; twelve cities with their villages:
[25] Gibeon, and Ramah, and Beeroth,
[26] and Mizpeh, and Chephirah, and Mozah,
[27] and Rekem, and Irpeel, and Taralah,
[28] 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.

[1] και εξεκκλησιασθη πασα συναγωγη υιων ισραηλ εις σηλω και επηξαν εκει την σκηνην του μαρτυριου και η γη εκρατηθη υπ αυτων
[2] και κατελειφθησαν οι υιοι ισραηλ οι ουκ εκληρονομησαν επτα φυλαι
[3] και ειπεν ιησους τοις υιοις ισραηλ εως τινος εκλυθησεσθε κληρονομησαι την γην ην εδωκεν κυριος ο θεος ημων
