RF JOS 18:1 (B.C. 1430.) Afterwards all the Parliament of the children of Israel assembled at Shiloh and erected there the Hall of Assembly, for the country had been subjected before them.
RF JOS 18:2 (B.C. 1429.) Joshua Plans a Complete Conquest of the Country.
But there remained seven tribes of the children of Israel who had not received their districts, so Joshua said to the sons of Israel;
RF JOS 18:3 "Till when will you delay to go and seize the country which the EVER-LIVING GOD of your fathers gave to you?
RF JOS 18:4 Choose for yourselves three men, princes from each tribe, and I will send them, and they shall go over the country and map it into districts for you, and then come to me.
RF JOS 18:5 They must divide it into seven portions. Judah has had his bounds fixed from the south, and the house of Joseph has had its bounds fixed from the north.
RF JOS 18:6 So you must map out the country into seven parts, and come back to me here, and I will draw the lots for you before your EVER-LIVING GOD.
RF JOS 18:7 However there is no share for the Levites amongst you; the EVER-LIVING is their share; and Gad and Reuben and the half tribe of Manasseh have taken their shares beyond the Jordan, to the eastward, which Moses the servant of the EVER-LIVING gave them."
RF JOS 18:8 (B.C. 1429.) The Surveyors Examine and Map out the Unconquered Parts.
The princes then arose and went, and Joshua appointed their routes to map out the country, saying, "Go and travel through the land and map it, and return to me, and then I will throw the lots for you before the EVER-LIVING in Shiloh."
RF JOS 18:9 The princes thereupon went, and passed over, and mapped out the land with its towns into seven shares on a sheet, and then returned to Joshua to the camp in Shiloh,
RF JOS 18:10 where Joshua threw the lots for them in Shiloh, before the EVER-LIVING. Thus Joshua divided the country to the children of Israel, to each a share.
RF JOS 18:11 And he threw the lot for the tribe of the sons of Benjamin, with their families; and the lot came fixing them between the sons of Judah and the sons of Joseph.
RF JOS 18:12 And their boundaries were, on the north side, from the Jordan, whence the line ascended to the cliff of Jericho on the north, and went up the hill westward, and terminated at the Desert of Bethaven;
RF JOS 18:13 and the boundary passed from there to Luz, at the cliff of Luz, southward of Bethel, whence the line descends to Ataroth-adar, upon the hill that is to the south of Beth-horon the Lower.
RF JOS 18:14 Thence the border extends, and turns to the side of the lake southward from the hill which is opposite Beth-horon the Southern, and terminates at Krith-bal,1—this is the side towards the Lake.
RF JOS 18:15 But the southern side is from the bound of Krith-bal, whence the line goes westerly, and comes to the source of the Brook Nefthokh;
RF JOS 18:16 thence the border descends the side of the hill which is opposite the valley of Ben-Hinom, where the gully of the Rephaim is, to the north, and descends the vale of Hinom to the cliff of the Jebusi, southward, and runs down to the Well of Roghel,
RF JOS 18:17 then runs from the north and comes to the Suns Well,2 and goes on to Ghililoth, where it touches the ascent of Admam, and descends to Aben-bahu of the sons of Reuben;
RF JOS 18:18 where it passes the cliff opposite the Dry-lands to the north and descends to Arabath,
RF JOS 18:19 where the border passes the cliff of Beth-khagla to the north, and the terminus of the boundary arrives at the bay of the Salt Lake on the north, by the mouth of the Jordan. This is the south border southerly.
RF JOS 18:20 But the Jordan bounds it on the eastern side. This was the share of the sons of Benjamin with its boundaries for their families.
RF JOS 18:21 The towns of the sons of Benjamin for their families were, Jeriko, and Beth-khagla, and Amak-Katzitz,
RF JOS 18:22 and Beth-arbah, and Zimeraim, and Bethel,
RF JOS 18:23 and Hairim, and Parah, and Afrah,
RF JOS 18:24 and Kefir, Amom, Afur, and Gaba,—twelve towns with their villages;
RF JOS 18:25 Ghiban, and Harmah; and Baroth,
RF JOS 18:26 and Mitzfah, and Kefirah, and Motzah;
RF JOS 18:27 and Rekim, and Irfal, and Thiralah;
RF JOS 18:28 and Tzela, Alef, and Jebusi,3 Gibrab, and Krith,—fourteen towns with their villages. This was the share of the sons of Benjamin for their families.
