Josué 18:12

Listen to Josué 18:12
12 El límite norte de la tierra de Benjamín comenzaba en el río Jordán, pasaba por el norte de la ladera de Jericó y, hacia el occidente, atravesaba la zona montañosa y el desierto de Bet-avén.

Josué 18:12 Meaning and Commentary

Joshua 18:12

And their border on the north side was from Jordan
Which was the eastern boundary of the tribe, and hence proceeded from east to west, and formed its northern border, which is described in like manner as the lot of the children of Joseph, ( Joshua 16:1 Joshua 16:2 ) ;

and the border went up to the side of Jericho on the north side;
from Jordan it went to the north of Jericho, and so took in that place, which was within the tribe of Benjamin, ( Joshua 18:21 ) ;

and went up through the mountains westward;
the mountains that were on the north of Jericho; for, as Strabo says F9, Jericho was surrounded with mountains, see ( Joshua 2:16 Joshua 2:22 ) ; through these mountains the coast went on towards the western border of the tribe:

and the goings out thereof were at the wilderness of Bethaven:
a place near Bethel and Ai, to which there was a wilderness adjoining, see ( Joshua 7:2 ) ( 8:20 ) ; here ended the northern border.

Josué 18:12 In-Context

10 Y allí, en Silo, Josué hizo un sorteo sagrado en presencia del Señor
para determinar a qué tribu le correspondía cada parte.
11 La tierra entregada a la tribu de BenjamĂ­n
La primera porción de tierra se entregó a los clanes de la tribu de Benjamín. Se encontraba entre el territorio asignado a la tribu de Judá y el territorio de José.
12 El límite norte de la tierra de Benjamín comenzaba en el río Jordán, pasaba por el norte de la ladera de Jericó y, hacia el occidente, atravesaba la zona montañosa y el desierto de Bet-avén.
13 De allí, el límite iba al sur, hasta la ciudad de Luz (también llamada Betel), y descendía a Atarot-adar, en la colina que está al sur de Bet-horón de abajo.
14 Luego el límite daba un giro hacia el sur por la cima occidental de la colina que está frente a Bet-horón y terminaba en la aldea de Quiriat-baal (también llamada Quiriat-jearim), la cual pertenecía a la tribu de Judá. Ese era el límite occidental.
