KJV_Strong : Joshua 18
1. And the whole[H3605] congregation[H5712] of the children[H1121] of Israel[H3478] assembled together[H6950] at Shiloh,[H7887] and set up[H7931] [H853] the tabernacle[H168] of the congregation[H4150] there.[H8033] And the land[H776] was subdued[H3533] before[H6440] them.
2. And there remained[H3498] among the children[H1121] of Israel[H3478] seven[H7651] tribes,[H7626] which[H834] had not[H3808] yet received[H2505] [H853] their inheritance.[H5159]
3. And Joshua[H3091] said[H559] unto[H413] the children[H1121] of Israel,[H3478] How long[H5704] [H575] are ye[H859] slack[H7503] to go[H935] to possess[H3423] [H853] the land,[H776] which[H834] the LORD[H3068] God[H430] of your fathers[H1] hath given[H5414] you?
4. Give[H3051] out from among you three[H7969] men[H376] for each tribe:[H7626] and I will send[H7971] them, and they shall rise,[H6965] and go[H1980] through the land,[H776] and describe[H3789] it according[H6310] to the inheritance[H5159] of them; and they shall come[H935] again to[H413] me.
5. And they shall divide[H2505] it into seven[H7651] parts:[H2506] Judah[H3063] shall abide[H5975] in[H5921] their coast[H1366] on the south,[H4480] [H5045] and the house[H1004] of Joseph[H3130] shall abide[H5975] in[H5921] their coasts[H1366] on the north.[H4480] [H6828]
6. Ye[H859] shall therefore describe[H3789] [H853] the land[H776] into seven[H7651] parts,[H2506] and bring[H935] the description hither[H2008] to[H413] me, that I may cast[H3384] lots[H1486] for you here[H6311] before[H6440] the LORD[H3068] our God.[H430]
7. But[H3588] the Levites[H3881] have no[H369] part[H2506] among[H7130] you; for[H3588] the priesthood[H3550] of the LORD[H3068] is their inheritance:[H5159] and Gad,[H1410] and Reuben,[H7205] and half[H2677] the tribe[H7626] of Manasseh,[H4519] have received[H3947] their inheritance[H5159] beyond[H4480] [H5676] Jordan[H3383] on the east,[H4217] which[H834] Moses[H4872] the servant[H5650] of the LORD[H3068] gave[H5414] them.
8. And the men[H376] arose,[H6965] and went away:[H1980] and Joshua[H3091] charged[H6680] [H853] them that went[H1980] to describe[H3789] [H853] the land,[H776] saying,[H559] Go[H1980] and walk[H1980] through the land,[H776] and describe[H3789] it, and come again[H7725] to[H413] me, that I may here[H6311] cast[H7993] lots[H1486] for you before[H6440] the LORD[H3068] in Shiloh.[H7887]
9. And the men[H376] went[H1980] and passed through[H5674] the land,[H776] and described[H3789] it by cities[H5892] into seven[H7651] parts[H2506] in[H5921] a book,[H5612] and came[H935] again to[H413] Joshua[H3091] to[H413] the host[H4264] at Shiloh.[H7887]
10. And Joshua[H3091] cast[H7993] lots[H1486] for them in Shiloh[H7887] before[H6440] the LORD:[H3068] and there[H8033] Joshua[H3091] divided[H2505] [H853] the land[H776] unto the children[H1121] of Israel[H3478] according to their divisions.[H4256]
11. And the lot[H1486] of the tribe[H4294] of the children[H1121] of Benjamin[H1144] came up[H5927] according to their families:[H4940] and the coast[H1366] of their lot[H1486] came forth[H3318] between[H996] the children[H1121] of Judah[H3063] and the children[H1121] of Joseph.[H3130]
12. And their border[H1366] on the north[H6828] side[H6285] was[H1961] from[H4480] Jordan;[H3383] and the border[H1366] went up[H5927] to[H413] the side[H3802] of Jericho[H3405] on the north side,[H4480] [H6828] and went up[H5927] through the mountains[H2022] westward;[H3220] and the goings out[H8444] thereof were[H1961] at the wilderness[H4057] of Beth-aven.[H1007]
13. And the border[H1366] went over[H5674] from thence[H4480] [H8033] toward Luz,[H3870] to[H413] the side[H3802] of Luz,[H3870] which[H1931] is Bethel,[H1008] southward;[H5045] and the border[H1366] descended[H3381] to Ataroth-adar,[H5853] near[H5921] the hill[H2022] that[H834] lieth on the south side[H4480] [H5045] of the nether[H8481] Beth-horon.[H1032]
14. And the border[H1366] was drawn[H8388] thence, and compassed[H5437] the corner[H6285] of the sea[H3220] southward,[H5045] from[H4480] the hill[H2022] that[H834] lieth before[H592] [H6440] Beth-horon[H1032] southward;[H5045] and the goings out[H8444] thereof were[H1961] at[H413] Kirjath-baal,[H7154] which[H1931] is Kirjath-jearim,[H7157] a city[H5892] of the children[H1121] of Judah:[H3063] this[H2063] was the west[H3220] quarter.[H6285]
15. And the south[H5045] quarter[H6285] was from the end[H4480] [H7097] of Kirjath-jearim,[H7157] and the border[H1366] went out[H3318] on the west,[H3220] and went out[H3318] to[H413] the well[H4599] of waters[H4325] of Nephtoah.[H5318]
16. And the border[H1366] came down[H3381] to[H413] the end[H7097] of the mountain[H2022] that[H834] lieth before[H5921] [H6440] the valley[H1516] of the son[H1121] of Hinnom,[H2011] and which[H834] is in the valley[H6010] of the giants[H7497] on the north,[H6828] and descended[H3381] to the valley[H1516] of Hinnom,[H2011] to[H413] the side[H3802] of Jebusi[H2983] on the south,[H5045] and descended[H3381] to En-rogel,[H5883]
17. And was drawn[H8388] from the north,[H4480] [H6828] and went forth[H3318] to En-shemesh,[H5885] and went forth[H3318] toward[H413] Geliloth,[H1553] which[H834] is over against[H5227] the going up[H4608] of Adummim,[H131] and descended[H3381] to the stone[H68] of Bohan[H932] the son[H1121] of Reuben,[H7205]
18. And passed[H5674] along toward[H413] the side[H3802] over against[H4136] Arabah[H6160] northward,[H6828] and went down[H3381] unto Arabah: [H6160]
19. And the border[H1366] passed along[H5674] to[H413] the side[H3802] of Beth-hoglah[H1031] northward:[H6828] and the outgoings[H8444] of the border[H1366] were[H1961] at[H413] the north[H6828] bay[H3956] of the salt[H4417] sea[H3220] at[H413] the south[H5045] end[H7097] of Jordan:[H3383] this[H2088] was the south[H5045] coast.[H1366]
20. And Jordan[H3383] was the border[H1379] of it on the east[H6924] side.[H6285] This[H2063] was the inheritance[H5159] of the children[H1121] of Benjamin,[H1144] by the coasts[H1367] thereof round about,[H5439] according to their families.[H4940]
21. Now the cities[H5892] of the tribe[H4294] of the children[H1121] of Benjamin[H1144] according to their families[H4940] were[H1961] Jericho,[H3405] and Beth-hoglah,[H1031] and the valley[H6010] of Keziz,[H7104]
22. And Beth-arabah,[H1026] and Zemaraim,[H6787] and Bethel,[H1008]
23. And Avim,[H5761] and Parah,[H6511] and Ophrah,[H6084]
