Joshua:18
Seeker Overlay ON
*
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 .
*
And there remained among the children of Israel seven tribes ,
which had not yet received their inheritance .
*
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 ?
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
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 :
*
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 ,
*
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 ,
*
And passed along toward the side over against Arabah northward ,
and went down unto Arabah :
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
Now the cities of the tribe of the children of Benjamin according to their families were Jericho ,
and Bethhoglah ,
and the valley of Keziz ,
*
And Betharabah ,
and Zemaraim ,
and Bethel ,
*
And Avim ,
and Parah ,
and Ophrah ,
*
And Chepharhaammonai ,
and Ophni ,
and Gaba ;
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 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 .
