rsv Joshua:18:11-28

rsv@Joshua:18:11 @ 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.

rsv@Joshua: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-a'ven.

rsv@Joshua:18:13 @ 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.

rsv@Joshua: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-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.

rsv@Joshua:18:15 @ 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;

rsv@Joshua: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 Reph'aim; and it then goes down the valley of Hinnom, south of the shoulder of the Jeb'usites, and downward to En-rogel;

rsv@Joshua:18:17 @ 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;

rsv@Joshua:18:18 @ and passing on to the north of the shoulder of Beth-arabah it goes down to the Arabah;

rsv@Joshua: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.

rsv@Joshua:18:20 @ 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.

rsv@Joshua:18:21 @ Now the cities of the tribe of Benjamin according to their families were Jericho, Beth-hoglah, Emek-ke'ziz,

rsv@Joshua:18:22 @ Beth-arabah, Zemara'im, Bethel,

rsv@Joshua:18:23 @ Avvim, Parah, Ophrah,

rsv@Joshua:18:24 @ Che'phar-am'moni, Ophni, Geba--twelve cities with their villages:

rsv@Joshua:18:25 @ Gibeon, Ramah, Be-er'oth,

rsv@Joshua:18:26 @ Mizpeh, Chephi'rah, Mozah,

rsv@Joshua:18:27 @ Rekem, Irpeel, Tar'alah,
