Benjamin’s Inheritance

¹¹ Now the lot of the tribe of the sons of Benjamin came up according to their families, and the territory of their lot ^[a]lay between the sons of Judah and the sons of Joseph. ^12 (A)And their border on the north side was from the Jordan; then the border went up to the side of Jericho on the north and went up through the hill country westward, and ^[b]it ended at the wilderness of Beth-aven. ¹³ From there the border passed on to ^(B)Luz, to the side of Luz (that is, Bethel) southward; and the border went down to Ataroth-addar, near the hill which lies on the south of ^(C)lower Beth-horon. ¹⁴ Then the border curved from there and turned round on the west side southward, from the hill which lies before Beth-horon southward; and ^[c]it ended at Kiriath-baal (that is, Kiriath-jearim), a city of the sons of Judah. This was the west side. ¹⁵ Then the ^(D)south side was from the edge of Kiriath-jearim, and the border went out westward and went out to the fountain of the waters of Nephtoah. ¹⁶ Then the border went down to the edge of the hill which is in the ^(E)valley of Ben-hinnom, which is in the valley of Rephaim northward; and it went down to the valley of Hinnom, to the slope of the Jebusite southward, and went down to En-rogel. ¹⁷ Then it curved northward and went out to En-shemesh and went out to Geliloth, which is opposite the ascent of Adummim, and it went down to the ^(F)stone of Bohan the son of Reuben. ¹⁸ Then it continued to the side in front of the Arabah northward and went down to the Arabah. ¹⁹ And the border passed on to the side of Beth-hoglah northward; and the ^[d]border ended at the north bay of the Salt Sea, at the south end of the Jordan. This was the south border. ²⁰ Moreover, the Jordan was its border on the east side. This was the inheritance of the sons of Benjamin, according to their families and according to its borders all around.

²¹ Now the cities of the tribe of the sons of Benjamin according to their families were Jericho and Beth-hoglah and Emek-keziz, ²² and Beth-arabah and Zemaraim and Bethel, ²³ and Avvim and Parah and Ophrah, ²⁴ and Chephar-ammoni and Ophni and ^(G)Geba; 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 ^(H)Zelah, Haeleph and the Jebusite (that is, Jerusalem), Gibeah, Kiriath; fourteen cities with their villages. This is the inheritance of the ^(I)sons of Benjamin according to their families.
