나머지 땅의 분배

18 그 땅을 정복한 후에 모든 이스라엘 백성은 실로에 모여 성막을 세웠다.

그러나 이스라엘 백성 가운데는 아직도 땅을 분배받지 못한 일곱 지파가 있었으므로

여호수아는 그들에게 이렇게 말하였다. “여러분은 여러분 조상의 하나님 여호와께서 여러분에게 주신 땅을 점령하러 가지 않고 언제까지나 여기서 기다리고 있을 작정입니까?

여러분은 각 지파에서 세 사람씩 선정하십시오. 내가 그들을 보내 아직 점령하지 않은 땅을 정찰하게 하고 자기 지파가 분배받을 땅의 지형을 그려 와서 나에게 보고하도록 하겠습니다.

여러분은 그 땅을 일곱 부분으로 나누십시오. 그리고 유다 지파는 남쪽의 자기 땅에 그대로 있고, 요셉 자손도 북쪽의 자기 땅에 그대로 머물러 있어야 합니다.

여러분은 일곱 부분으로 나눈 그 땅의 지형을 그려서 나에게 가져오십시오. 그러면 내가 여러분을 위해 우리 하나님 여호와 앞에서 제비를 뽑겠습니다.

그러나 레위 사람은 분배받을 땅이 없습니다. 이것은 그들이 여호와의 제사장직을 맡았기 때문입니다. 그리고 갓 지파와 르우벤 지파와 므낫세 동쪽 반 지파도 더 이상 분배받을 땅이 없습니다. 그들은 이미 요단강 동쪽에서 여호와의 종 모세에게 땅을 분배받았기 때문입니다.”

각 지파에서 선정된 사람들이 그 땅의 지형을 그리려고 떠날 때 여호수아가 그들에게 말하였다. “여러분은 가서 그 땅을 두루 다니며 지형을 그려 오십시오. 그러면 내가 이 곳 실로에서 여러분을 위해 여호와 앞에서 제비를 뽑겠습니다.”

그래서 그들은 지시받은 대로 가서 그 땅의 전 지역을 일곱 부분으로 나누어 그리고 거기에 그 성들의 이름을 하나하나 기록해서 실로에 있는 여호수아에게 돌아왔다.

10 그러자 여호수아는 그들을 위해 여호와 앞에서 제비를 뽑아 땅을 분배받지 못한 이스라엘의 나머지 지파들에게 그 땅을 나누어 주었다.

베냐민 지파

11 먼저 베냐민 지파를 위해 제비를 뽑았다. 그들에게 뽑힌 땅은 유다 지파와 요셉 지파가 이미 분배받은 땅의 중간이었다.

12 그 땅의 북쪽 경계선은 요단강에서 시작하여 여리고 북쪽으로 올라가서 서쪽 산간 지대를 지나 벧 – 아웬 광야에 이르고

13 루스 곧 벧엘 남쪽으로 나아가서 아래 벧 – 호론의 남쪽 산간 지대에 있는 아다롯 – 앗달로 내려갔다.

14 서쪽 경계선은 벧 – 호론 맞은편 산에서 서쪽으로 돌아서 남쪽으로 내려가 유다 지파의 성인 기럇 – 여아림 곧 기럇 – 바알에서 끝났다.

15 남쪽 경계선은 서쪽의 기럇 – 여아림 끝에서 시작하여 에브론산을 거쳐 넵도아 샘에 이르고

16 거기서 르바임 골짜기 북쪽 끝에 있는 힌놈 골짜기를 굽어 보는 산기슭으로 내려가고 또 계속 힌놈 골짜기로 내려가서 여부스 사람이 살던 옛 예루살렘성 남쪽을 지나 엔 – 로겔로 내려갔다.

17 또 그 경계선은 북동쪽으로 나아가 엔 – 세메스에 이르고 아둠밈 비탈 맞은편의 그릴롯으로 올라간 다음 르우벤의 아들인 보한의 돌까지 가서

18 [a]요단 계곡을 굽어보는 능선 북쪽을 지나 아라바로 내려가고

19 다시 벧 – 호글라 능선 북쪽을 지나 요단 강물이 흘러들어가는 사해 북쪽 어귀에서 끝났다.

20 그리고 동쪽 경계는 요단강이었다. 이상은 베냐민 지파가 집안별로 분배받은 땅의 경계선이다.

21 베냐민 지파가 차지한 성은 다음과 같다: 여리고, 벧 – 호글라, 에멕 – 그시스,

22 벧 – 아라바, 스마라임, 벧엘,

23 아윔, 바라, 오브라,

24 그발 – 암모니, 오브니, 게바 – 이상의 12개 성과 그 주변 부락들;

25 기브온, 라마, 브에롯,

26 미스바, 그비라, 모사,

27 레겜, 이르브엘, 다랄라,

28 셀라, 엘렙, 여부스 곧 예루살렘, 기브아, 기럇 – 이상의 14개 성과 그 주변 부락들이었다. 이것은 베냐민 지파가 집안별로 분배받은 땅이다.

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)

The Other Tribes

18 Then the whole community of the people of Israel assembled at Shiloh, and they set up the Tent of Meeting there, since the land had been subdued by their advance. Seven tribes remained among the people of Israel to whom no inheritance had yet been apportioned.

So Joshua said to the people of Israel, “How long are you going to keep delaying before you go and take possession of the land that the Lord, the God of your fathers, has given to you? You yourselves are to appoint three men for each tribe, and I will send them out. They are to go out and walk throughout the land. They are to write a description of it as a basis for each of their inheritances, and then come back to me. They are to divide it into seven shares. Judah will remain in its territory in the south, and the house of Joseph will remain in its territory north of that. You are to write a description of the land in seven parts and bring it to me here. Then I will cast lots for you here before the Lord our God. But the Levites have no portion in your midst because the priesthood of the Lord is their inheritance, and Gad, Reuben, and the half tribe of Manasseh have already received their inheritance in the region to the east, on the other side of the Jordan, which Moses, the servant of the Lord, gave to them.”

So the men set out on their tour. Joshua had given a command to write a description of the land to the men who were going out, “Go, walk around throughout the land. Write a description of it and return to me. I will cast lots for you here before the Lord in Shiloh.”

So the men went and passed through the land, and they wrote a description of it on a scroll with the lists of cities divided into seven portions. Then they came to Joshua in the camp at Shiloh. 10 Joshua cast lots for them at Shiloh in the presence of the Lord, and there Joshua assigned the land to the people of Israel portion by portion.

Benjamin

11 First, the lot came up for the tribe of the descendants of Benjamin according to their clans. The territory of their lot stretched out between the descendants of Judah and the descendants of Joseph.

12 Their northern border starts at the Jordan.

Then the border ascends to the slope of Jericho on the north.

Then it ascends westward through the hill country.

It ends at the Wilderness of Beth Aven.

13 The border crosses over from there to Luz, to the slope on the south side of Luz (Luz is Bethel).

Then the border descends to Ataroth Addar on the mountain that is south of Lower Beth Horon.

14 This is the border on the western side.

From the mountain that is facing the south side of Beth Horon, the border bends and curves around toward the south. It ends at Kiriath Baal (that is, Kiriath Jearim), a city of the descendants of Judah.

This is the western side.

15 On the southern side, the border begins from the edge of Kiriath Jearim.

Then the border goes out toward the sea and goes out to the spring of the Waters of Nephtoah.

16 Then the border descends to the edge of the mountain that faces the Valley of the Son of Hinnom, which is north of the Valley of Rephaim.

Then it descends through the Valley of Hinnom to the southern slope of the Jebusite city and descends to En Rogel.

17 Then it bends north and goes out to En Shemesh.

Then it goes out to Geliloth, which is opposite the Ascent of Adummim, and descends to the Stone of Bohan, the son of Reuben.

18 Then it passes northward to the slope facing the Arabah and descends into the Arabah.

19 The border then passes on to the northern slope of Beth Hoglah, and the border ends at the northern bay of the Dead Sea at the southern end of the Jordan.

This is the southern border.

20 The Jordan River is its border on the eastern side.

This is the inheritance of the descendants of Benjamin, on the basis of the borders enclosing it, according to their clans.

21 The cities belonging to the tribe of the people of Benjamin according to their clans were:

Jericho, Beth Hoglah, Emek Keziz, 22 Beth Arabah, Zemaraim, Bethel, 23 Avvim, Parah, Ophrah, 24 Kephar Ha’ammoni, Ophni, and Geba—twelve cities and their villages.

25 Gibeon, Ramah, Be’eroth, 26 Mizpah, Kephirah, Mozah, 27 Rekem, Irpe’el, Taralah, 28 Zela, Ha’eleph, the Jebusite city (that is, Jerusalem), Gibeath, Kiriath—fourteen cities and their villages.

This is the inheritance of the descendants of Benjamin according to their clans.

18 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.

And there remained among the children of Israel seven tribes, which had not yet received their inheritance.

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?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

10 And 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.

11 And the lot of the tribe of the children of Benjamin came up according to their families: and the coast of their lot came forth between the children of Judah and the children of Joseph.

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 Bethaven.

13 And the border went over from thence toward Luz, to the side of Luz, which is Bethel, southward; and the border descended to Atarothadar, near the hill that lieth on the south side of the nether Bethhoron.

14 And the border was drawn thence, and compassed the corner of the sea southward, from the hill that lieth before Bethhoron southward; and the goings out thereof were at Kirjathbaal, which is Kirjathjearim, a city of the children of Judah: this was the west quarter.

15 And the south quarter was from the end of Kirjathjearim, and the border went out on the west, and went out to the well of waters of Nephtoah:

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 Enrogel,

17 And was drawn from the north, and went forth to Enshemesh, 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,

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

19 And the border passed along to the side of Bethhoglah 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.

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.

21 Now the cities of the tribe of the children of Benjamin according to their families were Jericho, and Bethhoglah, and the valley of Keziz,

22 And Betharabah, and Zemaraim, and Bethel,

23 And Avim, and Pharah, and Ophrah,

24 And Chepharhaammonai, and Ophni, and Gaba; twelve cities with their villages:

25 Gibeon, and Ramah, and Beeroth,

26 And Mizpeh, and Chephirah, and Mozah,

27 And Rekem, and Irpeel, and Taralah,

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.
