其余的地分给七个支派

18 以色列全体会众聚集在示罗,把会幕竖立在那里,因为那地在他们面前被征服了。 以色列人其余的七个支派还没有得着产业。 约书亚对以色列人说:“耶和华你们列祖的 神赐给你们的地,你们迟迟不去占领,要到几时呢? 你们每支派要选出三个人,我要派他们去;他们要起程走遍那地,把各支派的产业描绘下来,然后回到我这里。 他们要把地业分作七份,犹大留在南方他们的境界内;约瑟家留在北方他们的境界内。 你们要把地划分七份,然后把图样拿给我;我要在这里,在耶和华我们的 神面前,为你们抽签。 利未人在你们中间没有业分,因为耶和华祭司的职分就是他们的产业。迦得支派、流本支派和玛拿西半个支派,已经在约旦河东得了产业,就是耶和华的仆人摩西分给他们的。”

那些人起程前去的时候,约书亚吩咐那些前去绘画那地的人说:“你们要去,走遍那地,绘画地形,然后回到我这里来,我要在示罗这里,在耶和华面前,为你们抽签。” 那些人就去了,走遍那地,并绘画下来,把众城分作七份记在册子上,然后回到示罗营中约书亚那里。 10 约书亚就在示罗,在耶和华面前为他们抽签;约书亚在那里按着他们的支派把地分给以色列人。

便雅悯支派的分地与城镇

11 便雅悯支派按着家族抽了签;他们抽签所得的境界,是在犹大子孙和约瑟子孙中间。 12 他们的疆界,北边是从约旦河起,向上到耶利哥的北边,又向西上到山地,直到伯.亚文的旷野。 13 又从那里向南经过路斯,路斯就是伯特利,再下到亚他绿.亚达,靠近下伯.和仑南边的山地; 14 又从那里伸延,绕到西边再向南,从伯.和仑南边对面的山起,直到犹大人的城基列.巴力,基列.巴力就是基列.耶琳;这是西方的疆界。 15 南方的疆界是从基列.耶琳的边缘起,向西伸展,去到尼弗多亚的水泉; 16 又下到欣嫩子谷前面的山边,就是利乏音谷北面的山;再下到欣嫩谷,去到耶布斯人的南边,又下去隐.罗结; 17 再转向北,伸展至隐.示麦,去到亚都冥斜坡对面的基利录,又下到流本的儿子波罕的盘石那里; 18 又经过亚拉巴对面山坡的北边,直下到亚拉巴; 19 又经过伯.曷拉的北边,直通到盐海的北湾,约旦河的南端;这是南方的疆界。 20 东方的疆界是约旦河。这就是便雅悯各家族所得的产业四围的疆界。

21 便雅悯支派按着家族所得的城就是:耶利哥、伯.曷拉、伊麦.基悉、 22 伯.亚拉巴、洗玛莲、伯特利、 23 亚文、巴拉、俄弗拉、 24 基法.阿摩尼、俄弗尼、迦巴,共十二座城,还有属于这些城的村庄; 25 又有基遍、拉玛、比录、 26 米斯巴、基非拉、摩撒、 27 利坚、伊利毘勒、他拉拉、 28 洗拉、以利弗、耶布斯(耶布斯就是耶路撒冷)、基比亚、基列,共十四座城,还有属于这些城的村庄。这就是便雅悯人按着家族所得的产业。

其余土地的分配

18 征服了这些地方以后,以色列全体会众都聚集在示罗,把会幕设立在那里。 这时,以色列还有七个支派没有分到产业。 约书亚对他们说:“你们等到什么时候才去占领你们祖先的上帝耶和华赐给你们的土地呢? 你们每支派要派出三个人,我要差他们去侦察,按各支派应得的土地绘制地图,然后回来禀告我。 他们要把土地划分作七份。犹大要留在南部自己的领土上,约瑟家族要留在北部自己的领土上。 你们把这七份土地绘成地图交给我,我要在我们的上帝耶和华面前为你们抽签。 你们当中的利未人没有份,因为做耶和华的祭司这职任就是他们的产业。至于迦得支派、吕便支派和玛拿西半个支派,摩西已把约旦河东的土地分给他们了。”

那些画地图的人启程出发的时候,约书亚嘱咐他们说:“你们要走遍那里,绘制地图,然后回来禀告我,我要在示罗,在耶和华面前为你们抽签。” 于是,他们走遍那里,把所有城邑分作七份,绘在册上,然后回到示罗见约书亚。 10 约书亚便在示罗按照以色列的支派,在耶和华面前为他们抽签分地。

便雅悯支派分到的土地

11 便雅悯支派按宗族抽签分到的领土,坐落在犹大和约瑟支派的领土之间。 12 他们北部的边界从约旦河起,沿耶利哥北面的山坡直上,往西穿过山区,直到伯·亚文的旷野; 13 从那里经路斯,即伯特利南面山坡到下伯·和仑南面山区的亚他绿·亚达。 14 西面的边界自伯·和仑对面山的西侧向南直到犹大人的基列·巴力,即基列·耶琳。 15 南部边界从基列·耶琳的边界开始向西直到尼弗多亚的水泉, 16 又往下到欣嫩子谷对面的山麓,也就是利乏音谷北边,然后往南,经欣嫩谷到耶布斯山南部,直到隐·罗结; 17 然后,向北先后到隐·示麦,亚都冥山坡对面的基利绿,吕便的儿子波罕所立的大石, 18 以及亚拉巴的对面,再往北下到亚拉巴; 19 又沿着伯·曷拉的北面直到盐海的北岸,也就是约旦河的南部河口。这是南部的边界。 20 东面以约旦河为界。这是便雅悯人按宗族分到的土地和四周的边界。

21 以下是便雅悯支派按宗族分到的城邑:耶利哥、伯·曷拉、伊麦·基悉、 22 伯·亚拉巴、西玛莲、伯特利、 23 亚文、巴拉、俄弗拉、 24 基法·阿摩尼、俄弗尼、迦巴,共十二座城及其附近的乡村。 25 还有基遍、拉玛、比录、 26 米斯巴、基非拉、摩撒、 27 利坚、伊利毗勒、他拉拉、 28 洗拉、以利弗、耶布斯——即耶路撒冷、基比亚、基列,共十四座城及其附近的乡村。

这就是便雅悯各宗族所分到的土地。

其餘土地的分配

18 征服了這些地方以後,以色列全體會眾都聚集在示羅,把會幕設立在那裡。 這時,以色列還有七個支派沒有分到產業。 約書亞對他們說:「你們等到什麼時候才去佔領你們祖先的上帝耶和華賜給你們的土地呢? 你們每支派要派出三個人,我要差他們去偵察,按各支派應得的土地繪製地圖,然後回來稟告我。 他們要把土地劃分作七份。猶大要留在南部自己的領土上,約瑟家族要留在北部自己的領土上。 你們把這七份土地繪成地圖交給我,我要在我們的上帝耶和華面前為你們抽籤。 你們當中的利未人沒有份,因為做耶和華的祭司這職任就是他們的產業。至於迦得支派、呂便支派和瑪拿西半個支派,摩西已把約旦河東的土地分給他們了。」

那些畫地圖的人啟程出發的時候,約書亞囑咐他們說:「你們要走遍那裡,繪製地圖,然後回來稟告我,我要在示羅,在耶和華面前為你們抽籤。」 於是,他們走遍那裡,把所有城邑分作七份,繪在冊上,然後回到示羅見約書亞。 10 約書亞便在示羅按照以色列的支派,在耶和華面前為他們抽籤分地。

便雅憫支派分到的土地

11 便雅憫支派按宗族抽籤分到的領土,座落在猶大和約瑟支派的領土之間。 12 他們北部的邊界從約旦河起,沿耶利哥北面的山坡直上,往西穿過山區,直到伯·亞文的曠野; 13 從那裡經路斯,即伯特利南面山坡到下伯·和崙南面山區的亞他綠·亞達。 14 西面的邊界自伯·和崙對面山的西側向南直到猶大人的基列·巴力,即基列·耶琳。 15 南部邊界從基列·耶琳的邊界開始向西直到尼弗多亞的水泉, 16 又往下到欣嫩子谷對面的山麓,也就是利乏音谷北邊,然後往南,經欣嫩谷到耶布斯山南部,直到隱·羅結; 17 然後,向北先後到隱·示麥,亞都冥山坡對面的基利綠,呂便的兒子波罕所立的大石, 18 以及亞拉巴的對面,再往北下到亞拉巴; 19 又沿著伯·曷拉的北面直到鹽海的北岸,也就是約旦河的南部河口。這是南部的邊界。 20 東面以約旦河為界。這是便雅憫人按宗族分到的土地和四周的邊界。

21 以下是便雅憫支派按宗族分到的城邑:耶利哥、伯·曷拉、伊麥·基悉、 22 伯·亞拉巴、西瑪蓮、伯特利、 23 亞文、巴拉、俄弗拉、 24 基法·阿摩尼、俄弗尼、迦巴,共十二座城及其附近的鄉村。 25 還有基遍、拉瑪、比錄、 26 米斯巴、基非拉、摩撒、 27 利堅、伊利毗勒、他拉拉、 28 洗拉、以利弗、耶布斯——即耶路撒冷、基比亞、基列,共十四座城及其附近的鄉村。

這就是便雅憫各宗族所分到的土地。

Division of the Rest of the Land

18 The whole assembly of the Israelites gathered at Shiloh(A) and set up the tent of meeting(B) there. The country was brought under their control, but there were still seven Israelite tribes who had not yet received their inheritance.

So Joshua said to the Israelites: “How long will you wait before you begin to take possession of the land that the Lord, the God of your ancestors, has given you? Appoint three men from each tribe. I will send them out to make a survey of the land and to write a description of it,(C) according to the inheritance of each.(D) Then they will return to me. You are to divide the land into seven parts. Judah is to remain in its territory on the south(E) and the tribes of Joseph in their territory on the north.(F) After you have written descriptions of the seven parts of the land, bring them here to me and I will cast lots(G) for you in the presence of the Lord our God. The Levites, however, do not get a portion among you, because the priestly service of the Lord is their inheritance.(H) And Gad, Reuben and the half-tribe of Manasseh have already received their inheritance on the east side of the Jordan. Moses the servant of the Lord gave it to them.(I)

As the men started on their way to map out the land, Joshua instructed them, “Go and make a survey of the land and write a description of it.(J) Then return to me, and I will cast lots for you here at Shiloh(K) in the presence of the Lord.” So the men left and went through the land. They wrote its description on a scroll, town by town, in seven parts, and returned to Joshua in the camp at Shiloh. 10 Joshua then cast lots(L) for them in Shiloh in the presence(M) of the Lord, and there he distributed the land to the Israelites according to their tribal divisions.(N)

Allotment for Benjamin

11 The first lot came up for the tribe of Benjamin according to its clans. Their allotted territory lay between the tribes of Judah and Joseph:

12 On the north side their boundary began at the Jordan, passed the northern slope of Jericho and headed west into the hill country, coming out at the wilderness(O) of Beth Aven.(P) 13 From there it crossed to the south slope of Luz(Q) (that is, Bethel(R)) and went down to Ataroth Addar(S) on the hill south of Lower Beth Horon.

14 From the hill facing Beth Horon(T) on the south the boundary turned south along the western side and came out at Kiriath Baal (that is, Kiriath Jearim),(U) a town of the people of Judah. This was the western side.

15 The southern side began at the outskirts of Kiriath Jearim on the west, and the boundary came out at the spring of the waters of Nephtoah.(V) 16 The boundary went down to the foot of the hill facing the Valley of Ben Hinnom, north of the Valley of Rephaim.(W) It continued down the Hinnom Valley(X) along the southern slope of the Jebusite city and so to En Rogel.(Y) 17 It then curved north, went to En Shemesh, continued to Geliloth,(Z) which faces the Pass of Adummim,(AA) and ran down to the Stone of Bohan(AB) son of Reuben. 18 It continued to the northern slope of Beth Arabah[a](AC) and on down into the Arabah.(AD) 19 It then went to the northern slope of Beth Hoglah(AE) and came out at the northern bay of the Dead Sea,(AF) at the mouth of the Jordan in the south. This was the southern boundary.

20 The Jordan formed the boundary on the eastern side.

These were the boundaries that marked out the inheritance of the clans of Benjamin on all sides.(AG)

21 The tribe of Benjamin, according to its clans, had the following towns:

Jericho, Beth Hoglah,(AH) Emek Keziz, 22 Beth Arabah,(AI) Zemaraim,(AJ) Bethel,(AK) 23 Avvim,(AL) Parah, Ophrah,(AM) 24 Kephar Ammoni, Ophni and Geba(AN)—twelve towns and their villages.

25 Gibeon,(AO) Ramah,(AP) Beeroth,(AQ) 26 Mizpah,(AR) Kephirah,(AS) Mozah, 27 Rekem, Irpeel, Taralah, 28 Zelah,(AT) Haeleph, the Jebusite city(AU) (that is, Jerusalem(AV)), Gibeah(AW) and Kiriath—fourteen towns and their villages.(AX)

This was the inheritance of Benjamin for its clans.(AY)
