{Joshua 18:1} 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. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Joshua 18:2} And there remained among the children of Israel seven tribes, which had not yet received their inheritance. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Joshua 18:3} 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? ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Joshua 18:4} 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. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Joshua 18:5} 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. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Joshua 18:6} 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. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Joshua 18:7} 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. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Joshua 18:8} 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. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Joshua 18:12} 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 Beth-aven. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Joshua 18:13} And the border went over from thence toward Luz, to the side of Luz, which is Bethel, southward; and the border descended to Ataroth-adar, near the hill that [lieth] on the south side of the nether Beth- horon. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Joshua 18:14} And the border was drawn [thence,] and compassed the corner of the sea southward, from the hill that [lieth] before Beth- horon southward; and the goings out thereof were at Kirjath-baal, which [is] Kirjath- jearim, a city of the children of Judah: this [was] the west quarter. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Joshua 18:15} And the south quarter [was] from the end of Kirjath-jearim, and the border went out on the west, and went out to the well of waters of Nephtoah: ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Joshua 18:16} 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 En-rogel, ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Joshua 18:17} And was drawn from the north, and went forth to En-shemesh, 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, ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Joshua 18:18} And passed along toward the side over against Arabah northward, and went down unto Arabah: ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Joshua 18:19} And the border passed along to the side of Beth-hoglah 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. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Joshua 18:20} 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. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Joshua 18:21} Now the cities of the tribe of the children of Benjamin according to their families were Jericho, and Beth-hoglah, and the valley of Keziz, ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Joshua 18:22} And Beth-arabah, and Zemaraim, and Bethel, ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Joshua 18:23} And Avim, and Parah, and Ophrah, ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Joshua 18:24} And Chephar- haammonai, and Ophni, and Gaba; twelve cities with their villages: ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Joshua 18:25} Gibeon, and Ramah, and Beeroth, ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Joshua 18:26} And Mizpeh, and Chephirah, and Mozah, ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Joshua 18:27} And Rekem, and Irpeel, and Taralah, ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Joshua 18:28} 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.
