1And 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.

2And there remained among the children of Israel seven tribes, which had not yet received their inheritance. 3And Joshua said unto the children of Israel, How long are ye tardy {slack} to go to possess the land, which the LORD God of your fathers hath given you? 4Appoint {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. 5And they shall divide it into seven portions {parts}; Judah shall abide in their border on the south, and the house of Joseph shall abide in their borders on the north. 6Ye shall therefore describe the land into seven portions {parts}, and bring the description here to me, that I may cast lots for you here before the LORD our God. 7But the Levites have no portion {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 the Jordan on the east, which Moses, the servant of the LORD, gave them.

8And 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. 9And the men went and passed through the land, and described it by cities into seven portions {parts} in a book, and came again to Joshua to the host at Shiloh. 10And 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.

11And the lot of the tribe of the children of Benjamin came up according to their families; and the border of their lot came forth between the children of Judah and the children of Joseph. 12And 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 end {goings out} thereof was at the wilderness of Beth-aven. 13And the border went over from there toward Luz, to the side of Luz, which is Bethel, southward; and the border descended to Ataroth-addar, near the hill that lieth on the south side of the lower Beth-horon. 14And the border extended from there {was drawn thence}, and compassed the corner of the sea southward, from the hill that lieth before Beth-horon southward; and the end {goings out} thereof was at Kiriath-baal, which is Kiriath-jearim, a city of the children of Judah; this was the west quarter. 15And the south quarter was from the end of Kiriath-jearim, and the border went out on the west, and went out to the well of waters of Nephtoah. 16And 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. 17And it extended {was drawn} from the north, and went forth to En-shemesh, and went forth toward Geliloth, which is over against the ascent {going up} of Adummim, and descended to the stone of Bohan, the son of Reuben, 18And passed along toward the side over against the Arabah northward, and went down unto the Arabah: 19And the border passed along to the side of Beth-hoglah northward; and the end {outgoings} of the border was at the north bay of the Salt Sea at the south end of the Jordan; this was the south border. 20And the Jordan was the border of it on the east side. This was the inheritance of the children of Benjamin, by the borders thereof round about, according to their families.

21Now the cities of the tribe of the children of Benjamin, according to their families, were Jericho, and Beth-hoglah, and Emek-kezis {the valley of Keziz}, 22And Beth-arabah, and Zemaraim, and Bethel, 23And Avvim, and Parah, and Ophrah, 24And Chephar-ammoni, and Ophni, and Geba; twelve cities with their villages. 25Gibeon, and Ramah, and Beeroth, 26And Mizpah, and Chephirah, and Mozah, 27And Rekem, and Irpeel, and Taralah, 28And Zelah, Eleph, and Jebusi, which is Jerusalem, Gibeath, and Kiriath; fourteen cities with their villages. This is the inheritance of the children of Benjamin according to their families.
