18 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 Bethaven. 13 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. 14 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.
15 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: 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 Enrogel, 17 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, 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 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. 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 Bethhoglah, and
the valley of Keziz, 22 And Betharabah, and Zemaraim, and Bethel, 23 And Avim, and Pharah, and Ophrah, 24 And Chepharhaammonai, 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.
