18:1 Then
the
whole
congregation
of
the
people
of
Israel
assembled
at
Shiloh
and
set
up
the
tent
of
meeting
there.
The
land
lay
subdued
before
them.
18:2 There
remained
among
the
people
of
Israel
seven
tribes
whose
inheritance
had
not
yet
been
apportioned.
18:3 So
Joshua
said
to
the
people
of
Israel,
"How
long
will
you
put
off
going
in
to
take
possession
of
the
land,
which
the
LORD,
the
God
of
your
fathers,
has
given
you
18:4 Provide
three
men
from
each
tribe,
and
I
will
send
them
out
that
they
may
set
out
and
go
up
and
down
the
land.
They
shall
write
a
description
of
it
with
a
view
to
their
inheritances,
and
then
come
to
me.
18:5 They
shall
divide
it
into
seven
portions.
Judah
shall
continue
in
his
territory
on
the
south,
and
the
house
of
Joseph
shall
continue
in
their
territory
on
the
north.
18:6 And
you
shall
describe
the
land
in
seven
divisions
and
bring
the
description
here
to
me.
And
I
will
cast
lots
for
you
here
before
the
LORD
our
God.
18:7 The
Levites
have
no
portion
among
you,
for
the
priesthood
of
the
LORD
is
their
heritage.
And
Gad
and
Reuben
and
half
the
tribe
of
Manasseh
have
received
their
inheritance
beyond
the
Jordan
eastward,
which
Moses
the
servant
of
the
LORD
gave
them."
18:8 So
the
men
arose
and
went,
and
Joshua
charged
those
who
went
to
write
the
description
of
the
land,
saying,
"Go
up
and
down
in
the
land
and
write
a
description
and
return
to
me.
And
I
will
cast
lots
for
you
here
before
the
LORD
in
Shiloh."
18:9 So
the
men
went
and
passed
up
and
down
in
the
land
and
wrote
in
a
book
a
description
of
it
by
towns
in
seven
divisions.
Then
they
came
to
Joshua
to
the
camp
at
Shiloh,
18:10 and
Joshua
cast
lots
for
them
in
Shiloh
before
the
LORD.
And
there
Joshua
apportioned
the
land
to
the
people
of
Israel,
to
each
his
portion.
18:11 The
lot
of
the
tribe
of
the
people
of
Benjamin
according
to
its
clans
came
up,
and
the
territory
allotted
to
it
fell
between
the
people
of
Judah
and
the
people
of
Joseph.
18:12 On
the
north
side
their
boundary
began
at
the
Jordan.
Then
the
boundary
goes
up
to
the
shoulder
north
of
Jericho,
then
up
through
the
hill
country
westward,
and
it
ends
at
the
wilderness
of
Beth-aven.
18:13 From
there
the
boundary
passes
along
southward
in
the
direction
of
Luz,
to
the
shoulder
of
Luz
(that
is,
Bethel),
then
the
boundary
goes
down
to
Ataroth-addar,
on
the
mountain
that
lies
south
of
Lower
Beth-horon.
18:14 Then
the
boundary
goes
in
another
direction,
turning
on
the
western
side
southward
from
the
mountain
that
lies
to
the
south,
opposite
Beth-horon,
and
it
ends
at
Kiriath-baal
(that
is,
Kiriath-jearim),
a
city
belonging
to
the
people
of
Judah.
This
forms
the
western
side.
18:15 And
the
southern
side
begins
at
the
outskirts
of
Kiriath-jearim.
And
the
boundary
goes
from
there
to
Ephron,
to
the
spring
of
the
waters
of
Nephtoah.
18:16 Then
the
boundary
goes
down
to
the
border
of
the
mountain
that
overlooks
the
Valley
of
the
Son
of
Hinnom,
which
is
at
the
north
end
of
the
Valley
of
Rephaim.
And
it
then
goes
down
the
Valley
of
Hinnom,
south
of
the
shoulder
of
the
Jebusites,
and
downward
to
En-rogel.
18:17 Then
it
bends
in
a
northerly
direction
going
on
to
En-shemesh,
and
from
there
goes
to
Geliloth,
which
is
opposite
the
ascent
of
Adummim.
Then
it
goes
down
to
the
stone
of
Bohan
the
son
of
Reuben,
18:18 and
passing
on
to
the
north
of
the
shoulder
of
Beth-arabah
it
goes
down
to
the
Arabah.
18:19 Then
the
boundary
passes
on
to
the
north
of
the
shoulder
of
Beth-hoglah.
And
the
boundary
ends
at
the
northern
bay
of
the
Salt
Sea,
at
the
south
end
of
the
Jordan:
this
is
the
southern
border.
18:20 The
Jordan
forms
its
boundary
on
the
eastern
side.
This
is
the
inheritance
of
the
people
of
Benjamin,
according
to
their
clans,
boundary
by
boundary
all
around.
18:21 Now
the
cities
of
the
tribe
of
the
people
of
Benjamin
according
to
their
clans
were
Jericho,
Beth-hoglah,
Emek-keziz,
18:22 Beth-arabah,
Zemaraim,
Bethel,
18:23 Avvim,
Parah,
Ophrah,
18:24 Chephar-ammoni,
Ophni,
Geba--twelve
cities
with
their
villages:
18:25 Gibeon,
Ramah,
Beeroth,
18:26 Mizpeh,
Chephirah,
Mozah,
18:27 Rekem,
Irpeel,
Taralah,
18:28 Zela,
Haeleph,
Jebus
(that
is,
Jerusalem),
Gibeah
and
Kiriath-jearim--fourteen
cities
with
their
villages.
This
is
the
inheritance
of
the
people
of
Benjamin
according
to
its
clans.
