Division of the Rest of the Land
1The whole assembly of the Israelites gathered at Shiloh and set up the tent of meeting there. The country was brought under their control, 2but there were still seven Israelite tribes who had not yet received their inheritance.
3So Joshua said to the Israelites: “How long will you wait before you begin to take possession of the land that the Lord, the God of your ancestors, has given you? 4Appoint three men from each tribe. I will send them out to make a survey of the land and to write a description of it, according to the inheritance of each. Then they will return to me. 5You are to divide the land into seven parts. Judah is to remain in its territory on the south and the tribes of Joseph in their territory on the north. 6After you have written descriptions of the seven parts of the land, bring them here to me and I will cast lots for you in the presence of the Lord our God. 7The Levites, however, do not get a portion among you, because the priestly service of the Lord is their inheritance. And Gad, Reuben and the half-tribe of Manasseh have already received their inheritance on the east side of the Jordan. Moses the servant of the Lord gave it to them.”
8As the men started on their way to map out the land, Joshua instructed them, “Go and make a survey of the land and write a description of it. Then return to me, and I will cast lots for you here at Shiloh in the presence of the Lord.” 9So the men left and went through the land. They wrote its description on a scroll, town by town, in seven parts, and returned to Joshua in the camp at Shiloh. 10Joshua then cast lots for them in Shiloh in the presence of the Lord, and there he distributed the land to the Israelites according to their tribal divisions.
Allotment for Benjamin
11The first lot came up for the tribe of Benjamin according to its clans. Their allotted territory lay between the tribes of Judah and Joseph:
12On the north side their boundary began at the Jordan, passed the northern slope of Jericho and headed west into the hill country, coming out at the wilderness of Beth Aven. 13From there it crossed to the south slope of Luz (that is, Bethel) and went down to Ataroth Addar on the hill south of Lower Beth Horon.
14From the hill facing Beth Horon on the south the boundary turned south along the western side and came out at Kiriath Baal (that is, Kiriath Jearim), a town of the people of Judah. This was the western side.
15The southern side began at the outskirts of Kiriath Jearim on the west, and the boundary came out at the spring of the waters of Nephtoah. 16The boundary went down to the foot of the hill facing the Valley of Ben Hinnom, north of the Valley of Rephaim. It continued down the Hinnom Valley along the southern slope of the Jebusite city and so to En Rogel. 17It then curved north, went to En Shemesh, continued to Geliloth, which faces the Pass of Adummim, and ran down to the Stone of Bohan son of Reuben. 18It continued to the northern slope of Beth Arabah18:18 Septuagint; Hebrew slope facing the Arabah and on down into the Arabah. 19It then went to the northern slope of Beth Hoglah and came out at the northern bay of the Dead Sea, at the mouth of the Jordan in the south. This was the southern boundary.
20The Jordan formed the boundary on the eastern side.
These were the boundaries that marked out the inheritance of the clans of Benjamin on all sides.
21The tribe of Benjamin, according to its clans, had the following towns:
Jericho, Beth Hoglah, Emek Keziz, 22Beth Arabah, Zemaraim, Bethel, 23Avvim, Parah, Ophrah, 24Kephar Ammoni, Ophni and Geba—twelve towns and their villages.
25Gibeon, Ramah, Beeroth, 26Mizpah, Kephirah, Mozah, 27Rekem, Irpeel, Taralah, 28Zelah, Haeleph, the Jebusite city (that is, Jerusalem), Gibeah and Kiriath—fourteen towns and their villages.
This was the inheritance of Benjamin for its clans.
其餘土地的分配
1征服了這些地方以後，以色列全體會眾都聚集在示羅，把會幕設立在那裡。 2這時，以色列還有七個支派沒有分到產業。 3約書亞對他們說：「你們等到什麼時候，才去佔領你們祖先的上帝耶和華賜給你們的土地呢？ 4你們每支派要派出三個人，我要差他們走遍那地，按各支派應得的土地繪製地圖，然後回來稟告我。 5他們要把土地劃分作七份。猶大要留在南部自己的領土上，約瑟家族要留在北部自己的領土上。 6你們把這七份土地繪成地圖交給我，我要在我們的上帝耶和華面前為你們抽籤。 7你們當中的利未人沒有份，因為做耶和華的祭司這職任就是他們的產業。至於迦得支派、呂便支派和瑪拿西半個支派，耶和華的僕人摩西已把約旦河東的土地分給他們了。」
8那些畫地圖的人啟程出發的時候，約書亞囑咐他們說：「你們要走遍那裡，繪製地圖，然後回來稟告我，我要在示羅，在耶和華面前為你們抽籤。」 9於是，他們走遍那裡，把所有城邑分作七份，繪在冊上，然後回到示羅見約書亞。 10約書亞便在示羅按照以色列的支派，在耶和華面前為他們抽籤分地。
便雅憫支派分到的土地
11便雅憫支派按宗族抽籤分到的領土，座落在猶大和約瑟支派的領土之間。 12他們北部的邊界從約旦河起，沿耶利哥北面的山坡直上，往西穿過山區，直到伯·亞文的曠野； 13從那裡經路斯，即伯特利南面山坡到下伯·和崙南面山區的亞他錄·亞達。 14西面的邊界自伯·和崙對面山的西側，向南直到猶大人的基列·巴力城，即基列·耶琳。 15南部邊界從基列·耶琳的邊界開始，向西直到尼弗多亞的水泉， 16又往下到欣嫩子谷對面的山麓，也就是利乏音谷北邊，然後往南，經欣嫩谷到耶布斯的南坡，直到隱·羅結； 17然後，向北先後到隱·示麥，亞都冥山坡對面的基利綠，呂便的兒子波罕所立的大石， 18以及亞拉巴的對面，再往北下到亞拉巴； 19又沿著伯·曷拉的北面直到鹽海的北岸，也就是約旦河的南部河口。這是南部的邊界。 20東面以約旦河為界。這是便雅憫人按宗族分到的土地四周的邊界。
21以下是便雅憫支派按宗族分到的城邑：耶利哥、伯·曷拉、伊麥·基悉、 22伯·亞拉巴、西瑪蓮、伯特利、 23亞文、巴拉、俄弗拉、 24基法·阿摩尼、俄弗尼、迦巴，共十二座城及其附近的鄉村。 25還有基遍、拉瑪、比錄、 26米斯巴、基非拉、摩撒、 27利堅、伊利毗勒、他拉拉、 28洗拉、以利弗、耶布斯，即耶路撒冷、基比亞、基列，共十四座城及其附近的鄉村。
這就是便雅憫各宗族所分到的土地。
