* Then were gathered together all the assembly of the sons of Israel at Shiloh , and they set up there , the tent of meeting , the land , having been subdued before them . * But there remained among the sons of Israel , to whom had not been apportioned their inheritance , seven tribes . * So Joshua said unto the sons of Israel , How long , will ye be too slothful , to enter in and take possession of the land , which Yahweh God of your fathers , hath given unto you ? * Set forth for you three men for each tribe , that I may send them , that they may ariseand go up and down in the landand map it out as required for their inheritance , and come in unto me . * So shall they apportion it for themselves into seven parts , Let , Judah , stay upon his boundary , on the south , and , the house of Joseph , stay upon their boundary , on the north , * but , ye , shall map out the unto me , here , then will I cast lots for you here , before Yahweh our God . * For Levi hath no portion in your midst , for , the priesthood of Yahweh , is his inheritance , and , Gad , and Reuben , and the half tribe of Manasseh , have received their inheritance , beyond the Jordan on the east , which Moses the servant of Yahweh gave unto them . * So the men arose , and went , and Joshua commanded them who were going , to map out the land , saying Take your journey and go up and down in the land , and map it out , and return unto me , and , here , will I cast lots for you before Yahweh , in Shiloh . * So the men went , and passed through the land , and mapped it out by cities , into seven parts , upon a scroll , and came in unto Joshua , unto the camp , in Shiloh . * And Joshua cast for them lots , in Shiloh , before Yahweh , and Joshua there apportioned the land unto the sons of Israel , according to their portions . * Then came up the lot of the tribe of the sons of Benjamin , by their families , and the boundary of their lot came out , between the sons of Judah and the sons of Joseph . * And so their boundary , on the north border , was from the Jordan , and the boundary goeth up unto the side of Jericho on the north , and goeth up in the hill country , westward , and the extensions thereof are towards the wilderness of Beth-aven ; * and the boundary passeth over from thence towards Luz , to the side of Luz , southwards , the same , is Bethel , and the boundary goeth down to Ataroth-addah , by the mountain that is on the south of Beth-horon the nether ; * then turneth the boundary and goeth round the west border , southward , from the mountain which faceth Beth-horon , southward , and so the extensions thereof are unto Kiriath-baalthe same , is Kiriath-jearim , a city of the sons of Judah , this , is the west border . * And , the border southward , is from the uttermost part of Kiriath-jearim , and the boundary goeth out westward , yea it goeth out unto the fountain of the waters of Nephtoah ; * and the boundary goeth down to the uttermost part of the mountain which faceth the valley of the son of Hinnom , which is in the Vale of Giants , northward , and descendeth the valley of Hinnom , unto the side of the Jebusite , southward , and then descendeth to En-rogel ; * and it turneth on the north , and goeth out at En-shemesh , and goeth out unto Geliloth , which is over against the ascent of Adummim , and goeth down by the Stone of Bohan , son of Reuben ; * and passeth along unto the side over against the Arabah , northward , and goeth down toward the Arabah ; * and the boundary passeth along unto the side of Beth-hoglah , northward , and so the extensions of the boundary are unto the bay of the Salt Sea , northward , unto the end of the Jordan , southward , This , is the south boundary . * And , the Jordan itself , boundeth it as an eastward border . This , is the inheritance of the sons of Benjamin , by the boundaries thereof round about , by their families . * So then the cities of the tribe of the sons of Benjamin , by their families , are , Jericho and Beth-hoglah , and Emekkeziz , * and Beth-arabah and Zemaraim , and Bethel , * and Avvim and Parah and Ophrah , * and Chephar-ammoni and Ophni , and Geba , twelve cities , with their villages : * Gibeon and Ramah , and Beeroth , * and Mizpeh and Chephirah , and Mozah , * and Rekem and Irpeel , and Taralah , * and Zelah , Eleph , and the Jebusite , the same , is Jerusalem , Gibeath
