余地的分配

1以色列的全会众都聚集在示罗，把会幕设立在那里，那地已经被他们制伏了。

2以色列人中其余的七个支派还没有分给他们地业。

3约书亚对以色列人说：「耶和华—你们列祖的 神所赐给你们的地，你们耽延不去得，要到几时呢？

4你们每支派当选举三个人，我要打发他们去，他们就要起身走遍那地，按着各支派应得的地业写明，就回到我这里来。

5他们要将地分做七分；犹大仍在南方，住在他的境内。约瑟家仍在北方，住在他的境内。

6你们要将地分做七分，写明了拿到我这里来。我要在耶和华—我们 神面前，为你们拈阄。

7利未人在你们中间没有分，因为供耶和华祭司的职任就是他们的产业。迦得支派、吕便支派，和玛拿西半支派已经在约旦河东得了地业，就是耶和华仆人摩西所给他们的。」

8划地势的人起身去的时候，约书亚嘱咐他们说：「你们去走遍那地，划明地势，就回到我这里来。我要在示罗这里，耶和华面前，为你们拈阄。」

9他们就去了，走遍那地，按着城邑分做七分，写在册子上，回到示罗营中见约书亚。

10约书亚就在示罗，耶和华面前，为他们拈阄。约书亚在那里，按着以色列人的支派，将地分给他们。

分给便雅悯支派的土地

11便雅悯支派，按着宗族拈阄所得之地，是在犹大、约瑟子孙中间。

12他们的北界是从约旦河起，往上贴近耶利哥的北边；又往西通过山地，直到伯·亚文的旷野；

13从那里往南接连到路斯，贴近路斯（路斯就是伯特利），又下到亚他绿·亚达，靠近下伯·和 南边的山；

14从那里往西，又转向南，从伯·和 南对面的山，直达到犹大人的城基列·巴力（基列·巴力就是基列·耶琳）；这是西界。

15南界是从基列·耶琳的尽边起，往西达到尼弗多亚的水源；

16又下到欣嫩子谷对面山的尽边，就是利乏音谷北边的山；又下到欣嫩谷，贴近耶布斯的南边；又下到隐·罗结；

17又往北通到隐·示麦，达到亚都冥坡对面的基利绿；又下到吕便之子波罕的磐石；

18又接连到亚拉巴对面，往北下到亚拉巴；

19又接连到伯·曷拉的北边，直通到盐海的北汊，就是约旦河的南头；这是南界。

20东界是约旦河。这是便雅悯人按着宗族，照他们四围的交界所得的地业。

21便雅悯支派按着宗族所得的城邑就是：耶利哥、伯·曷拉、伊麦·基悉、

22伯·亚拉巴、洗玛脸、伯特利、

23亚文、巴拉、俄弗拉、

24基法·阿摩尼、俄弗尼、迦巴，共十二座城，还有属城的村庄；

25又有基遍、拉玛、比录、

26米斯巴、基非拉、摩撒、

27利坚、伊利毗勒、他拉拉、

28洗拉、以利弗、耶布斯（耶布斯就是耶路撒冷）、基比亚、基列，共十四座城，还有属城的村庄。这是便雅悯人按着宗族所得的地业。

1And all the children of Israel assembled together in Silo, and there they set up the tabernacle of the testimony, and the land was subdued before them.

2But there remained seven tribes of the children of Israel, which as yet had not received their possessions.

3And Josue said to them: How long are you indolent and slack, and go not in to possess the land which the Lord the God of your fathers hath given you?

4Choose of every tribe three men, that I may send them, and they may go and compass the land, and mark it out according to the number of each multitude: and bring back to me what they have marked out.

5Divide to yourselves the land into seven parts: let Juda be in his bounds on the south side, and the house of Joseph on the north.

6The land in the midst between these mark ye out into seven parts; and you shall come hither to me, that I may cast lots for you before the Lord your God.

7For the Levites have no part among you, but the priesthood of the Lord is their inheritance. And Gad and Ruben, and the half tribe of Manasses have already received their possessions beyond the Jordan eastward: which Moses the servant of the Lord gave them.

8And when the men were risen up, to go to mark out the land, Josue commanded them, saying: Go round the land and mark it out, and return to me: that I may cast lots for you before the Lord in Silo.

9So they went: and surveying it divided it into seven parts, writing them down in a book. And they returned to Josue, to the camp in Silo.

10And he cast lots before the Lord in Silo, and divided the land to the children of Israel into seven parts.

11And first came up the lot of the children of Benjamin by their families, to possess the land between the children of Juda, and the children of Joseph.

12And their border northward was from the Jordan: going along by the side of Jericho on the north side, and thence going up westward to the mountains, and reaching to the wilderness of Bethaven,

13And passing along southward by Luza, the same is Bethel: and it goeth down into Ataroth-addar to the mountain, that is on the south of the nether Beth-horon.

14And it bendeth thence going round towards the sea, south of the mountain that looketh towards Beth-horon to the southwest: and the outgoings thereof are into Cariathbaal, which is called also Cariathiarim, a city of the children of Juda. This is their coast towards the sea, westward.

15But on the south side the border goeth out from part of Cariathiarim towards the sea, and cometh to the fountain of the waters of Nephtoa.

16And it goeth down to that part of the mountain that looketh on the valley of the children of Ennom: and is over against the north quarter in the furthermost part of the valley of Raphaim, and it goeth down into Geennom (that is the valley of Ennom) by the side of the Jebusite to the south: and cometh to the fountain of Rogel,

17Passing thence to the north, and going out to Ensemes, that is to say, the fountain of the sue:

18And it passeth along to the hills that are over against the ascent of Adommim: and it goeth down to Abenboen, that is, the stone of Been the son of Ruben: and it passeth on the north side to the champaign countries; and goeth down into the plain,

19And it passeth by Bethhagla northward: and the outgoings thereof are towards the north of the most salt sea at the south end of the Jordan:

20Which is the border of it on the east side. This is the possession of the children of Benjamin by their borders round about, and their families.

21And their cities were, Jericho and Bethhagla and Vale-Casis,

22Betharaba and Samaraim and Bethel,

23And Avim and Aphara and Ophera,

24The town Emona and Ophni and Gabee: twelve cities, and their villages.

25Gabam and Rama and Beroth,

26And Mesphe, and Caphara, and Amosa,

27And Recem, Jarephel and Tharela,

28And Sela, Eleph and Jebus, which is Jerusalem, Gabaath and Cariath: fourteen cities, and their villages. This is the possession of the children of Benjamin by their families.
