1 And the whole congregation of the children of Yisrael assembled together at Shiloh, and set up the tabernacle of the congregation there. And the land was subdued before them.

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

3 And Joshua (Yehoshua) said unto the children of Yisrael: “How long are you slack to go to possess the land, which יהוה God (Elohim) 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 (Yehudah) shall abide in their coast on the south, and the house of Joseph (Yosef) shall abide in their coasts on the north.

6 You shall therefore describe the land into seven parts, and bring the description hither to me, that I may cast lots for you here before יהוה our God (Elohim).

7 But the Levites (Lewiyim) have no part among you; for the priesthood of יהוה is their inheritance; and Gad, and Reuven, and half the tribe of Menashsheh, have received their inheritance beyond Jordan (Yarden) on the east, which Moses (Mosheh) the servant of יהוה gave them.”

8 And the men arose, and went away: and Joshua (Yehoshua) 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 יהוה 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 (Yehoshua) to the camp at Shiloh.

10 And Joshua (Yehoshua) cast lots for them in Shiloh before יהוה: and there Joshua (Yehoshua) divided the land unto the children of Yisrael according to their divisions.

11 And the lot of the tribe of the children of Binyamin came up according to their families: and the coast of their lot came forth between the children of Judah (Yehudah) and the children of Joseph (Yosef).

12 And their border on the north side was from Jordan (Yarden); and the border went up to the side of Yericho on the north side, and went up through the mountains westward; and the goings out thereof were at the wilderness of Beit Aven.

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

14 And the border was drawn thence, and compassed the corner of the sea southward, from the hill that lieth before Beit-Choron southward; and the goings out thereof were at Qiryat-Baal, which is Qiryat-Yearim, a city of the children of Judah (Yehudah): this was the west quarter.

15 And the south quarter was from the end of Qiryat-Yearim, 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 Yevusi on the south, and descended to En Rogel,

17 And was drawn from the north, and went forth to Enshemesh, and went forth toward Geliloth, which is opposite the going up of Adummim, and descended to the stone of Bohan the son of Reuven,

18 And passed along toward the side opposite Aravah northward, and went down unto Aravah:

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 (Yarden); this was the south coast.

20 And Jordan (Yarden) was the border of it on the east side. This was the inheritance of the children of Binyamin, by the coasts thereof round about, according to their families.

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

22 And Beit-Aravah, and Zemaraim, and Bethel (Beit-El),

23 And Avim, and Parah, and Ophrah,

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

25 Giveon, and Ramah, and Beeroth,

26 And Mizpeh, and Chephirah, and Mozah,

27 And Rekem, and Irpeel, and Taralah,

28 And Zelah, Eleph, and Yevusi, which is Jerusalem (Yerushalayim), Gibeath, and Qiryat; fourteen cities with their villages. This is the inheritance of the children of Binyamin according to their families.
