2
And the sons of Israel remained, those who not received their inheritance, seven tribes.
3
And Joshua said to the sons of Israel, How long will ye be slack to inherit the land, which the Lord our God has given you?
4
Appoint of yourselves three men of each tribe, and let them rise up and go through the land, and let them describe it before me, as it will be proper to divide it.
5
And they came to him: and he divided to them seven portions, , Juda shall stand to them a border southward, and the sons of Joseph shall stand to them northward.
6
And do ye divide the land into seven parts, and bring the description hither to me, and I will give you a lot before the Lord our God.
7
For the sons of Levi have no part among you; for the priesthood of the Lord his portion; and Gad, and Ruben, and the half tribe of Manasse, have received their inheritance beyond Jordan eastward, which Moses the servant of the Lord gave to them.
8
And the men rose up and went; and Joshua charged the men who went to explore the land, saying, Go and explore the land, and come to me, and I will bring you forth a lot here before the Lord in Selo.
9
And they went, and explored the land: and they viewed it, and described it according to the cities, seven parts in a book, and brought to Joshua.
10
And Joshua cast the lot for them in Selo before the Lord.
11
And the lot of the tribe of Benjamin came forth first according to their families: and the borders of their lot came forth between the children of Juda and the children of Joseph.
12
And their borders were northward: the borders shall go up from Jordan behind Jericho northward, and shall go up to the mountain westward, and the issue of it shall be Baethon of Mabdara.
