18:1 And the whole congregation 5712 of the children 1121 of Israel 3478 assembled together 6950 8735 at Shiloh 7887, and set up 7931 8686 the tabernacle 168 of the congregation 4150 there. And the land 776 was subdued 3533 8738 before 6440 them.

18:2 And there remained 3498 8735 among the children 1121 of Israel 3478 seven 7651 tribes 7626, which had not yet received 2505 8804 their inheritance 5159.

18:3 And Joshua 3091 said 559 8799 unto the children 1121 of Israel 3478, How long [are] ye slack 7503 8693 to go 935 8800 to possess 3423 8800 the land 776, which the LORD 3068 God 430 of your fathers 1 hath given 5414 8804 you?

18:4 Give out 3051 8798 from among you three 7969 men 582 for [each] tribe 7626: and I will send 7971 8799 them, and they shall rise 6965 8799, and go 1980 8691 through the land 776, and describe 3789 8799 it according 6310 to the inheritance 5159 of them; and they shall come 935 8799 [again] to me.

18:5 And they shall divide 2505 8694 it into seven 7651 parts 2506: Judah 3063 shall abide 5975 8799 in their coast 1366 on the south 5045, and the house 1004 of Joseph 3130 shall abide 5975 8799 in their coasts 1366 on the north 6828.

18:6 Ye shall therefore describe 3789 8799 the land 776 [into] seven 7651 parts 2506, and bring 935 8689 [the description] hither to me, that I may cast 3384 8804 lots 1486 for you here before 6440 the LORD 3068 our God 430.

18:7 But the Levites 3881 have no part 2506 among 7130 you; for the priesthood 3550 of the LORD 3068 [is] their inheritance 5159: and Gad 1410, and Reuben 7205, and half 2677 the tribe 7626 of Manasseh 4519, have received 3947 8804 their inheritance 5159 beyond 5676 Jordan 3383 on the east 4217, which Moses 4872 the servant 5650 of the LORD 3068 gave 5414 8804 them.

18:8 And the men 582 arose 6965 8799, and went away 3212 8799: and Joshua 3091 charged 6680 8762 them that went 1980 8802 to describe 3789 8800 the land 776, saying 559 8800, Go 3212 8798 and walk 1980 8690 through the land 776, and describe 3789 8798 it, and come again 7725 8798 to me, that I may here cast 7993 8686 lots 1486 for you before 6440 the LORD 3068 in Shiloh 7887.

18:9 And the men 582 went 3212 8799 and passed through 5674 8799 the land 776, and described 3789 8799 it by cities 5892 into seven 7651 parts 2506 in a book 5612, and came 935 8799 [again] to Joshua 3091 to the host 4264 at Shiloh 7887.

18:10 And Joshua 3091 cast 7993 8686 lots 1486 for them in Shiloh 7887 before 6440 the LORD 3068: and there Joshua 3091 divided 2505 8762 the land 776 unto the children 1121 of Israel 3478 according to their divisions 4256.

18:11 And the lot 1486 of the tribe 4294 of the children 1121 of Benjamin 1144 came up 5927 8799 according to their families 4940: and the coast 1366 of their lot 1486 came forth 3318 8799 between the children 1121 of Judah 3063 and the children 1121 of Joseph 3130.

18:12 And their border 1366 on the north 6828 side 6285 was from Jordan 3383; and the border 1366 went up 5927 8804 to the side 3802 of Jericho 3405 on the north 6828 side, and went up 5927 8804 through the mountains 2022 westward 3220; and the goings out 8444 thereof were at the wilderness 4057 of Bethaven 1007.

18:13 And the border 1366 went over 5674 8804 from thence toward Luz 3870, to the side 3802 of Luz 3870, which [is] Bethel 1008, southward 5045; and the border 1366 descended 3381 8804 to Atarothadar 5853, near the hill 2022 that [lieth] on the south side 5045 of the nether 8481 Bethhoron 1032.

18:14 And the border 1366 was drawn 8388 8804 [thence], and compassed 5437 8738 the corner 6285 of the sea 3220 southward 5045, from the hill 2022 that [lieth] before 6440 Bethhoron 1032 southward 5045; and the goings out 8444 thereof were at Kirjathbaal 7154, which [is] Kirjathjearim 7157, a city 5892 of the children 1121 of Judah 3063: this [was] the west 3220 quarter 6285.

18:15 And the south 5045 quarter 6285 [was] from the end 7097 of Kirjathjearim 7157, and the border 1366 went out 3318 8804 on the west 3220, and went out 3318 8804 to the well 4599 of waters 4325 of Nephtoah 5318:

18:16 And the border 1366 came down 3381 8804 to the end 7097 of the mountain 2022 that [lieth] before 6440 the valley 1516 of the son 1121 of Hinnom 2011, [and] which [is] in the valley 6010 of the giants 7497 on the north 6828, and descended 3381 8804 to the valley 1516 of Hinnom 2011, to the side 3802 of Jebusi 2983 on the south 5045, and descended 3381 8804 to Enrogel 5883,

18:17 And was drawn 8388 8804 from the north 6828, and went forth 3318 8804 to Enshemesh 5885, and went forth 3318 8804 toward Geliloth 1553, which [is] over against 5227 the going up 4608 of Adummim 131, and descended 3381 8804 to the stone 68 of Bohan 932 the son 1121 of Reuben 7205,

18:18 And passed along 5674 8804 toward the side 3802 over against 4136 Arabah 6160 northward 6828, and went down 3381 8804 unto Arabah 6160:(Arabah: or, the plain)

18:19 And the border 1366 passed along 5674 8804 to the side 3802 of Bethhoglah 1031 northward 6828: and the outgoings 8444 of the border 1366 were at the north 6828 bay 3956 of the salt 4417 sea 3220 at the south 5045 end 7097 of Jordan 3383: this [was] the south 5045 coast 1366.(bay: Heb. tongue)

18:20 And Jordan 3383 was the border 1379 8799 of it on the east 6924 side 6285. This [was] the inheritance 5159 of the children 1121 of Benjamin 1144, by the coasts 1367 thereof round about 5439, according to their families 4940.

18:21 Now the cities 5892 of the tribe 4294 of the children 1121 of Benjamin 1144 according to their families 4940 were Jericho 3405, and Bethhoglah 1031, and the valley 6010 of Keziz 7104,
