Bible. Joshua
06:018:003 And Joshua said unto the children of Israel, How long are ye
slack to go to possess the land, which the LORD God of your
fathers hath given you?
06:018:004 Give out from among you three men for each tribe: and I will
send them, and they shall rise, and go through the land, and
describe it according to the inheritance of them; and they
shall come again to me.
06:018:005 And they shall divide it into seven parts: Judah shall abide
in their coast on the south, and the house of Joseph shall
abide in their coasts on the north.
06:018:006 Ye shall therefore describe the land into seven parts, and
bring the description hither to me, that I may cast lots for
you here before the LORD our God.
06:018:007 But the Levites have no part among you; for the priesthood of
the LORD is their inheritance: and Gad, and Reuben, and half
the tribe of Manasseh, have received their inheritance beyond
Jordan on the east, which Moses the servant of the LORD gave
them.
06:018:008 And the men arose, and went away: and Joshua charged them that
went to describe the land, saying, Go and walk through the
land, and describe it, and come again to me, that I may here
cast lots for you before the LORD in Shiloh.
06:018:009 And the men went and passed through the land, and described it
by cities into seven parts in a book, and came again to Joshua
to the host at Shiloh.
06:018:010 And Joshua cast lots for them in Shiloh before the LORD: and
there Joshua divided the land unto the children of Israel
according to their divisions.
06:018:011 And the lot of the tribe of the children of Benjamin came up
according to their families: and the coast of their lot came
forth between the children of Judah and the children of
Joseph.
06:018:012 And their border on the north side was from Jordan; and the
border went up to the side of Jericho on the north side, and
went up through the mountains westward; and the goings out
thereof were at the wilderness of Bethaven.
06:018:013 And the border went over from thence toward Luz, to the side
of Luz, which is Bethel, southward; and the border descended
to Atarothadar, near the hill that lieth on the south side of
the nether Bethhoron.
06:018:014 And the border was drawn thence, and compassed the corner of
the sea southward, from the hill that lieth before Bethhoron
southward; and the goings out thereof were at Kirjathbaal,
which is Kirjathjearim, a city of the children of Judah: this
was the west quarter.
