Joshua 15:8

15:8 It then went up the Valley of Ben Hinnom to the slope of the Jebusites on the south (that is, Jerusalem), ¹  going up to the top of the hill opposite the Valley of Ben Hinnom to the west, which is at the end of the Valley of the Rephaites to the north.

Joshua 15:63

Joshua 18:28

18:28 Zelah, Haeleph, the Jebusite city ⁴  (that is, Jerusalem), ⁵  Gibeah, and Kiriath – a total of fourteen cities and their towns. ⁶  This was the land assigned to the tribe of Benjamin ⁷  by its clans.

5:6 Indeed, for forty years the Israelites traveled through the desert until all the men old enough to fight when they left Egypt, the ones who had disobeyed the Lord, died off. ⁹  For the Lord had sworn a solemn oath to them that he would not let them see the land he had sworn on oath to give them, ¹⁰  a land rich in ¹¹  milk and honey.

⁶ tn The structure of this list presents problems. In v. 28 no conjunction appears before “Haeleph” or “Kiriath” in the Hebrew text. This suggests they should be compounded with the preceding names, yielding “Zelah Haeleph” and “Gibeah Kiriath” respectively. This results in a list of only twelve cities, however, while the summary statement (v. 28) gives the number fourteen. One should note, however, that the city lists in chap. 15 do not consistently use the conjunction before the name of each city. See also Josh 19:7, where no conjunction appears before “Rimmon,” but the summary assumes that Ain and Rimmon are distinct.

⁷ tn Heb “This is the inheritance of the sons of Benjamin.”

⁸ tn Heb “there were left among the sons of Israel who had not divided up their inheritance seven tribes.”

⁹ tn Heb “all the nation, the men of war who went out from Egypt, who did not listen to the voice of the Lord, came to an end.”

¹⁰ tn Some Hebrew mss, as well as the Syriac version, support this reading. Most ancient witnesses read “us.”

¹¹ tn Heb “flowing with.”
