The Remainder of the Land Divided
18 Now the whole congregation of the children of Israel assembled together (A)at Shiloh, and (B)set up the tabernacle of meeting there. And the land was subdued before them. 2 But there remained among the children of Israel seven tribes which had not yet received their inheritance.
3 Then Joshua said to the children of Israel: (C)“How long will you neglect to go and possess the land which the Lord God of your fathers has given you? 4 Pick out from among you three men for each tribe, and I will send them; they shall rise and go through the land, survey it according to their inheritance, and come back to me. 5 And they shall divide it into seven parts. (D)Judah shall remain in their territory on the south, and the (E)house of Joseph shall remain in their territory on the north. 6 You shall therefore [a]survey the land in seven parts and bring the survey here to me, (F)that I may cast lots for you here before the Lord our God. 7 (G)But the Levites have no part among you, for the priesthood of the Lord is their inheritance. (H)And Gad, 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.”
8 Then the men arose to go away; and Joshua charged those who went to [b]survey the land, saying, “Go, walk (I)through the land, survey it, and come back to me, that I may cast lots for you here before the Lord in Shiloh.” 9 So the men went, passed through the land, and [c]wrote the survey in a book in seven parts by cities; and they came to Joshua at the camp in Shiloh. 10 Then Joshua cast (J)lots for them in Shiloh before the Lord, and there (K)Joshua divided the land to the children of Israel according to their [d]divisions.
The Land of Benjamin
11 (L)Now the lot of the tribe of the children of Benjamin came up according to their families, and the territory of their lot came out between the children of Judah and the children of Joseph. 12 (M)Their border on the north side began at the Jordan, and the border went up to the side of Jericho on the north, and went up through the mountains westward; it ended at the Wilderness of Beth Aven. 13 The border went over from there toward Luz, to the side of Luz (N)(which is Bethel) southward; and the border descended to Ataroth Addar, near the hill that lies on the south side (O)of Lower Beth Horon.
14 Then the border extended around the west side to the south, from the hill that lies before Beth Horon southward; and [e]it ended at (P)Kirjath Baal (which is Kirjath Jearim), a city of the children of Judah. This was the west side.
15 The south side began at the end of Kirjath Jearim, and the border extended on the west and went out to (Q)the spring of the waters of Nephtoah. 16 Then the border came down to the end of the mountain that lies before (R)the Valley of the Son of Hinnom, which is in the Valley of the [f]Rephaim on the north, descended to the Valley of Hinnom, to the side of the Jebusite city on the south, and descended to (S)En Rogel. 17 And it went around from the north, went out to En Shemesh, and extended toward Geliloth, which is before the Ascent of Adummim, and descended to (T)the stone of Bohan the son of Reuben. 18 Then it passed along toward the north side of [g]Arabah, and went down to Arabah. 19 And the border passed along to the north side of Beth Hoglah; then [h]the border ended at the north bay at the (U)Salt Sea, at the south end of the Jordan. This was the southern boundary.
20 The Jordan was its border on the east side. This was the inheritance of the children of Benjamin, according to its boundaries all around, according to their families.
21 Now the cities of the tribe of the children of Benjamin, according to their families, were Jericho, Beth Hoglah, Emek Keziz, 22 Beth Arabah, Zemaraim, Bethel, 23 Avim, Parah, Ophrah, 24 Chephar Haammoni, Ophni, and Gaba: twelve cities with their villages; 25 (V)Gibeon, (W)Ramah, Beeroth, 26 Mizpah, Chephirah, Mozah, 27 Rekem, Irpeel, Taralah, 28 Zelah, Eleph, (X)Jebus (which is Jerusalem), Gibeath, and Kirjath: fourteen cities with their villages. This was the inheritance of the children of Benjamin according to their families.

Sedam preostalih plemena dobivaju zemlju
18 Cijela izraelska zajednica okupila se u Šilu te ondje postavila Šator sastanka. Iako su pokorili čitavu zemlju, 2 još sedam Izraelovih plemena nije dobilo svoje područje.
3 Zbog toga je Jošua rekao Izraelcima: »Dokle ćete oklijevati? Zašto ne zauzmete zemlju koju vam je dao BOG vaših predaka? 4 Izaberite po trojicu iz svakog plemena, a ja ću ih poslati da izvide zemlju i opišu je. Kad se vrate k meni, 5 podijelit ćete zemlju na sedam dijelova. Juda će ostati na svom području na jugu, a Josipova plemena na svome području na sjeveru. 6 Kad popišete sedam dijelova zemlje, donesite mi popis ovamo. Bacit ću za vas kocku ovdje, pred našim BOGOM, da on odluči tko će dobiti koji dio. 7 Leviti neće dobiti ništa od te zemlje jer je njihovo nasljedstvo u tome da služe BOGU kao svećenici. Gad, Ruben i pola Manašeovog plemena već su dobili svoje nasljedstvo s druge, istočne strane rijeke Jordan. Nju im je dao BOŽJI sluga Mojsije.«
8 Izvidnice su se spremile otići i opisati zemlju. Jošua im je zapovjedio: »Prijeđite svu zemlju, opišite je i vratite se k meni. Tada ću ovdje u Šilu baciti pred BOGOM kocku da on raspodijeli zemlju.«
9 Izvidnice su otišle i prešle cijelu zemlju. Opisale su je i napravile popis svih gradova, podijelivši ih u sedam skupina. Zatim su se vratili Jošui u tabor u Šilu. 10 Jošua je ondje pred BOGOM bacio kocku i podijelio zemlju svim izraelskim plemenima.
Zemlja Benjaminovog plemena
11 Benjaminovom plemenu, i svim njegovim obiteljima, prvima je kockom dodijeljeno njihovo područje. Nalazilo se između područja Josipovih plemena i Judinog plemena. 12 Na sjeveru je njihova granica počinjala na rijeci Jordan i penjala se sjevernom padinom Jerihona. Kroz gorje se nastavljala na zapad i završavala u pustinji Bet Aven. 13 Odatle je skretala prema južnoj padini Luza (to jest Betela) pa se spuštala do Atarot Adara koji se nalazi na brdu južno od Donjeg Bet Horona. 14 Na brdu južno od Bet Horona granica je skretala na jug i išla zapadnim obroncima brda. Završavala je u Kirjat Baalu (to jest Kirjat Jearimu), gradu koji pripada Judinom plemenu. Bila je to zapadna granica.
15 Južna je granica počinjala na rubu Kirjat Jearima i išla na zapad do izvora rijeke Neftoah. 16 Zatim se spuštala do podnožja planine, koja je nasuprot doline Ben Hinom, na sjevernoj strani doline Refaim. Potom se spuštala dalje u dolinu Hinom i išla duž južne padine Jebusejskoga grada sve do En Rogela. 17 Zatim je skretala na sjever i išla do En Šemeša te se nastavljala do Gelilota koji gleda na prijevoj Adumim. Potom se spuštala do kamena Rubenovog sina Bohana 18 i odatle išla do sjevernog dijela Bet Arabe. Granica se spuštala u Jordansku dolinu 19 i išla duž sjeverne padine Bet Hogle. Završavala je na sjevernoj obali Mrtvog mora, na ušću rijeke Jordan. Bila je to južna granica, 20 a istočna je bila rijeka Jordan.
Nasljedstvo je to Benjaminovog plemena i granice koje su ga okruživale.
21 U jednom su dijelu Benjaminovog područja bili ovi gradovi:
Jerihon, Bet Hogla, Emek Kesis, 22 Bet Araba, Semaraim, Betel, 23 Avim, Para, Ofra, 24 Kefar Amona, Ofni i Gaba—ukupno dvanaest gradova s okolnim selima.
25 U drugom su dijelu bili gradovi:
Gibeon, Rama, Beerot, 26 Mispa, Kefira, Mosa, 27 Rekem, Jirpeel, Tarala, 28 Sela, Elef, Jebusejski grad (to jest Jeruzalem), Gibeat i Kirjat—ukupno četrnaest gradova s okolnim selima.
Bilo je to nasljedstvo obitelji Benjaminovog plemena.

18 Y TODA la congregación de los hijos de Israel se juntó en Silo, y asentaron allí el tabernáculo del testimonio, después que la tierra les fué sujeta.
2 Mas habían quedado en los hijos de Israel siete tribus, á las cuales aun no habían repartido su posesión.
3 Y Josué dijo á los hijos de Israel: ¿Hasta cuando seréis negligentes para venir á poseer la tierra que os ha dado Jehová el Dios de vuestros padres?
4 Señalad tres varones de cada tribu, para que yo los envíe, y que ellos se levanten, y recorran la tierra, y la describan conforme á sus heredades, y se tornen á mí.
5 Y la dividirán en siete partes: y Judá estará en su término al mediodía, y los de la casa de José estarán en el suyo al norte.
6 Vosotros, pues, delinearéis la tierra en siete partes, y me traeréis la descripción aquí, y yo os echaré las suertes aquí delante de Jehová nuestro Dios.
7 Empero los Levitas ninguna parte tienen entre vosotros; porque el sacerdocio de Jehová es la heredad de ellos: Gad también y Rubén, y la media tribu de Manasés, ya han recibido su heredad de la otra parte del Jordán al oriente, la cual les dió Moisés siervo de Jehová.
8 Levantándose pues aquellos varones, fueron: y mandó Josué á los que iban para delinear la tierra, diciéndoles: Id, recorred la tierra, y delineadla, y tornad á mí, para que yo os eche las suertes aquí delante de Jehová en Silo.
9 Fueron pues aquellos varones y pasearon la tierra, delineándola por ciudades en siete partes en un libro, y tornaron á Josué al campo en Silo.
10 Y Josué les echó las suertes delante de Jehová en Silo; y allí repartió Josué la tierra á los hijos de Israel por sus porciones.
11 Y sacóse la suerte de la tribu de los hijos de Benjamín por sus familias: y salió el término de su suerte entre los hijos de Judá y los hijos de José.
12 Y fué el término de ellos al lado del norte desde el Jordán: y sube aquel término al lado de Jericó al norte; sube después al monte hacia el occidente, y viene á salir al desierto de Beth-aven:
13 Y de allí pasa aquel término á Luz, por el lado de Luz (esta es Beth-el) hacia el mediodía. Y desciende este término de Ataroth-addar al monte que está al mediodía de Beth-oron la de abajo.
14 Y torna este término, y da vuelta al lado de la mar, al mediodía hasta el monte que está delante de Beth-oron al mediodía; y viene á salir á Chîriath-baal, que es Chîriath-jearim, ciudad de los hijos de Judá. Este es el lado del occidente.
15 Y el lado del mediodía es desde el cabo de Chîriath-jearim, y sale el término al occidente, y sale á la fuente de las aguas de Nephtoa:
16 Y desciende aqueste término al cabo del monte que está delante del valle del hijo de Hinnom, que está en la campiña de los gigantes hacia el norte: desciende luego al valle de Hinnom, al lado del Jebuseo al mediodía, y de allí desciende á la fuente de Rogel:
17 Y del norte torna y sale á Ensemes, y de allí sale á Geliloth, que está delante de la subida de Adummim, y descendía á la piedra de Bohan, hijo de Rubén:
18 Y pasa al lado que está delante de la campiña del norte, y desciende á los llanos:
19 Y torna á pasar este término por el lado de Beth-hogla hacia el norte, y viene á salir el término á la lengua del mar Salado al norte, al cabo del Jordán al mediodía. Este es el término de hacia el mediodía.
20 Y el Jordán acaba aqueste término al lado del oriente. Esta es la heredad de los hijos de Benjamín por sus términos alrededor, conforme á sus familias.
21 Las ciudades de la tribu de los hijos de Benjamín, por sus familias, fueron Jericó, Beth-hogla, y el valle de Casis,
22 Beth-araba, Samaraim, y Beth-el;
23 Y Avim, y Para, y Ophra,
24 Y Cephar-hammonai, Ophni, y Gaba; doce ciudades con sus aldeas:
25 Gabaón, Rama, Beeroth,
26 Y Mizpa, Chephira, y Moza,
27 Recom, Irpeel y Tarala,
28 Y Sela, Eleph, Jebus, que es Jerusalem, Gibeath, y Chîriath; catorce ciudades con sus aldeas. Esta es la heredad de los hijos de Benjamín, conforme á sus familias.

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, 2 but there were still seven Israelite tribes who had not yet received their inheritance.
3 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? 4 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. 5 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) 6 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. 7 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)”
8 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.” 9 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)
