NASB — Joshua 18 — KJV

Rest of the Land Divided

1 Then the whole° congregation° of the sons° of Israel° assembled° themselves at aShiloh°, and set° up the tent° of meeting° there°; and the land° was subdued° before° them.

[1] aJg 21:19; Jr 7:12; 26:6, 9

2 ¶ There remained° among the sons° of Israel° seven° tribes° who° had not divided° their inheritance°. 3 So Joshua° said° to the sons° of Israel°, “aHow° long° will you put° off° entering° to take° possession° of the land° which° the LORD°, the God° of your fathers°, has given° you? 4 Provide° for yourselves three° men° from Ieach tribe° that I may send° them, and that they may arise° and walk° through the land° and write° a description of it according° to their inheritance°; then they shall IIreturn° to me. 5 They shall divide° it into seven° portions°; aJudah° shall stay° in its territory° on the south°, and the house° of Joseph° shall stay° in their territory° on the north°. 6 You shall describe° the land° in seven° divisions°, and bring° [the description] here° to me. aI will cast° lots° for you here° before° the LORD° our God°. 7 For athe Levites° have° no° portion° among° you, because° the priesthood° of the LORD° is Itheir inheritance°. Gad° and Reuben° and the half-tribe°° of Manasseh° also have received° their inheritance° eastward° beyond°° the Jordan°, which° Moses° the servant° of the LORD° gave° them.”

The Territory of Benjamin

11 ¶ Now the lot° of the tribe° of the sons° of Benjamin° came° up according to their families°, and the territory° of their lot° Ilay° between° the sons° of Judah° and the sons° of Joseph°. 12 aTheir border° on the north° side° was from the Jordan°, then the border° went° up to the side° of Jericho° on the north°, and went° up through the hill° country° westward°, and Iit ended°° at the wilderness° of Beth-aven°. 13 From there° the border° continued° to aLuz°, to the side° of Luz° (that is, Bethel°) southward°; and the border° went° down° to Ataroth-addar°, near° the hill° which° [lies] on the south° of blower° Beth-horon°. 14 The border° extended° [from there] and turned° round° on the west° side° southward°, from the hill° which° [lies] before°° Beth-horon° southward°; and Iit ended°° at Kiriath-baal° (that is, Kiriath-jearim°), a city° of the sons° of Judah°. This° [was] the west° side°. 15 Then the asouth° side° [was] from the edge° of Kiriath-jearim°, and the border° went° westward° and went° to the fountain° of the waters° of Nephtoah°. 16 The border° went° down° to the edge° of the hill° which° is in the avalley° of Ben-hinnom°°, which° is in the valley° of Rephaim° northward°; and it went° down° to the valley° of Hinnom°, to the slope° of the Jebusite° southward°, and went° down° to En-rogel°. 17 It extended° northward° and went° to En-shemesh° and went° to Geliloth°, which° is opposite° the ascent° of Adummim°, and it went° down° to the astone° of Bohan° the son° of Reuben°. 18 It continued° to the side° in front° of the Arabah° northward° and went° down° to the Arabah°. 19 The border° continued° to the side° of Beth-hoglah° northward°; and the Iborder° ended°° at the north° bay° of the Salt° Sea°, at the south° end° of the Jordan°. This° [was] the south° border°. 20 Moreover, the Jordan° was its border° on the east° side°. This° [was] the inheritance° of the sons° of Benjamin°, according to their families° [and] according to its borders° all° around°.
