Seeker Overlay ON
*
The lot of the tribe of Benjamin according to its families came up ,
and the territory allotted to it fell between the tribe of Judah and the tribe of Joseph .
*
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-a '
ven .
*
From there the boundary passes along southward in the direction of Luz ,
to the shoulder of Luz (
the same is Bethel ),
then the boundary goes down to At '
aroth-ad '
dar ,
upon the mountain that lies south of Lower Beth-hor '
on .
*
Then the boundary goes in another direction ,
turning on the western side southward from the mountain that lies to the south ,
opposite Beth-hor '
on ,
and it ends at Kir '
iath-ba '
al (
that is ,
Kir '
iath-je '
arim ),
a city belonging to the tribe of Judah .
This forms the western side .
*
And the southern side begins at the outskirts of Kir '
iath-je '
arim ;
and the boundary goes from there to Ephron ,
to the spring of the Waters of Nephto '
ah ;
*
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 Reph '
aim ;
and it then goes down the valley of Hinnom ,
south of the shoulder of the Jeb '
usites ,
and downward to En-rogel ;
*
then it bends in a northerly direction going on to En-she '
mesh ,
and thence goes to Geli '
loth ,
which is opposite the ascent of Adum '
mim ;
then it goes down to the Stone of Bohan the son of Reuben ;
*
and passing on to the north of the shoulder of Beth-arabah it goes down to the Arabah ;
*
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 .
*
The Jordan forms its boundary on the eastern side .
This is the inheritance of the tribe of Benjamin ,
according to its families ,
boundary by boundary round about .
*
Now the cities of the tribe of Benjamin according to their families were Jericho ,
