8
And the men arose and went away; and Joshua charged those that went to draw the land, saying unto them, Go and walk through the land and draw it up and return to me that I may cast lots for you here before the LORD in Shiloh.
9
And those men went and passed through the land, drawing it by cities into seven parts in a book and came
again to Joshua to the camp at Shiloh.
10
And Joshua cast lots for them in Shiloh before the LORD; and there Joshua divided the land unto the sons of Israel according to their portions.
11
And the lot of the tribe of the sons of Benjamin came up according to their families; and the border of their lot came forth between the sons of Judah and the sons of Joseph.
12
And their border on the side of the north was from the Jordan and that border goes up beside Jericho on the north side and up to the mountain westward and comes out at the wilderness of Bethaven;
13
and from there that border passes through Luz, by the side of Luz (which
is Bethel) towards the Negev. And this border descends from Atarothadar to the mountain that
is towards the Negev of the lower Bethhoron.
14
And this border turns and compasses the side of the sea towards the Negev unto the mountain that is before Bethhoron towards the Negev, and it comes out at Kirjathbaal, which
is Kirjathjearim, a city of the sons of Judah. This
is the west quarter.
15
And the side of the Negev
is from the end of Kirjathjearim, and the border goes out to the west and comes out at the well of waters of Nephtoah,
16
and this border descends to the end of the mountain that is before the valley of the son of Hinnom, which
is in the valley of the giants to the north, and descends then to the valley of Hinnom, to the side of the Jebusite towards the Negev and
from there descends to the fountain of Rogel,
17
and from the north it turns and goes to Enshemesh and
from there goes to Geliloth, which
is over against the ascent to Adummim, and descends to the stone of Bohan, the son of Reuben
18
and passes along toward the side over against the valley of the north and descends to the plain;
