2 And there remained among the children of Israel seven tribes which had not yet received their inheritance 3 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 4 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 5 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 6 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 7 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
8 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 9 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 Parah 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
