Joshua 18:1-13

18:1

And the whole congregation
<05712>

of the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>

assembled together
<06950> (8735)

at Shiloh
<07887>_,

and set up
<07931> (8686)

the tabernacle
<0168>

of the congregation
<04150>

there. And the land
<0776>

was subdued
<03533> (8738)

before
<06440>

them.

18:2

And there remained
<03498> (8735)

among the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>

seven
<07651>

tribes
<07626>_,

which had not yet received
<02505> (8804)

their inheritance
<05159>_.

18:3

And Joshua
<03091>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>_,

How long [are] ye slack
<07503> (8693)

to go
<0935> (8800)

to possess
<03423> (8800)

the land
<0776>_,

which the LORD
<03068>

God
<0430>

of your fathers
<01>

hath given
<05414> (8804)

you?

18:4

Give out
<03051> (8798)

from among you three
<07969>

men
<0582>

for [each] tribe
<07626>_:

and I will send
<07971> (8799)

them, and they shall rise
<06965> (8799)_,

and go
<01980> (8691)

through the land
<0776>_,

and describe
<03789> (8799)

it according
<06310>

to the inheritance
<05159>

of them; and they shall come
<0935> (8799)

[again] to me.

18:5

And they shall divide
<02505> (8694)

it into seven
<07651>

parts
<02506>_:

Judah
<03063>

shall abide
<05975> (8799)

in their coast
<01366>

on the south
<05045>_,

and the house
<01004>

of Joseph
<03130>

shall abide
<05975> (8799)

in their coasts
<01366>

on the north
<06828>_.

18:6

Ye shall therefore describe
<03789> (8799)

the land
<0776>

[into] seven
<07651>

parts
<02506>_,

and bring
<0935> (8689)

[the description] hither to me, that I may cast
<03384> (8804)

lots
<01486>

for you here before
<06440>

the LORD
<03068>

our God
<0430>_.

18:7

But the Levites
<03881>

have no part
<02506>

among
<07130>

you; for the priesthood
<03550>

of the LORD
<03068>

[is] their inheritance
<05159>_:

and Gad
<01410>_,

and Reuben
<07205>_,

and half
<02677>

the tribe
<07626>

of Manasseh
<04519>_,

have received
<03947> (8804)

their inheritance
<05159>

beyond
<05676>

Jordan
<03383>

on the east
<04217>_,

which Moses
<04872>

the servant
<05650>

of the LORD
<03068>

gave
<05414> (8804)

them.

18:8

And the men
<0582>

arose
<06965> (8799)_,

and went away
<03212> (8799)_:

and Joshua
<03091>

charged
<06680> (8762)

them that went
<01980> (8802)

to describe
<03789> (8800)

the land
<0776>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Go
<03212> (8798)

and walk
<01980> (8690)

through the land
<0776>_,

and describe
<03789> (8798)

it, and come again
<07725> (8798)

to me, that I may here cast
<07993> (8686)

lots
<01486>

for you before
<06440>

the LORD
<03068>

in Shiloh
<07887>_.

18:9

And the men
<0582>

went
<03212> (8799)

and passed through
<05674> (8799)

the land
<0776>_,

and described
<03789> (8799)

it by cities
<05892>

into seven
<07651>

parts
<02506>

in a book
<05612>_,

and came
<0935> (8799)

[again] to Joshua
<03091>

to the host
<04264>

at Shiloh
<07887>_.

18:10

And Joshua
<03091>

cast
<07993> (8686)

lots
<01486>

for them in Shiloh
<07887>

before
<06440>

the LORD
<03068>_:

and there Joshua
<03091>

divided
<02505> (8762)

the land
<0776>

unto the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>

according to their divisions
<04256>_.

18:11

And the lot
<01486>

of the tribe
<04294>

of the children
<01121>

of Benjamin
<01144>

came up
<05927> (8799)

according to their families
<04940>_:

and the coast
<01366>

of their lot
<01486>

came forth
<03318> (8799)

between the children
<01121>

of Judah
<03063>

and the children
<01121>

of Joseph
<03130>_.

18:12

And their border
<01366>

on the north
<06828>

side
<06285>

was from Jordan
<03383>_;

and the border
<01366>

went up
<05927> (8804)

to the side
<03802>

of Jericho
<03405>

on the north
<06828>

side, and went up
<05927> (8804)

through the mountains
<02022>

westward
<03220>_;

and the goings out
<08444>

thereof were at the wilderness
<04057>

of Bethaven
<01007>_.

18:13

And the border
<01366>

went over
<05674> (8804)

from thence toward Luz

to the side
<03802>

of Luz
<03870>_,

which [is] Bethel
<01008>_,

southward
<05045>_;

and the border
<01366>

descended
<03381> (8804)

to Atarothadar
<05853>_,

near the hill
<02022>

that [lieth] on the south side
<05045>

of the nether
<08481>

Bethhoron
<01032>_.
