1 Reuniu-se toda a congregação dos filhos de Israel em Siló, e ali armaram a tenda da congregação; e a terra estava sujeita diante deles.
2 Dentre os filhos de Israel ficaram sete tribos que ainda não tinham repartido a sua herança. 3 Disse Josué aos filhos de Israel: Até quando sereis remissos em passardes para possuir a terra que o Senhor, Deus de vossos pais, vos deu? 4 De cada tribo escolhei três homens, para que eu os envie, eles se disponham, e corram a terra, e façam dela um gráfico relativamente à herança das tribos, e se tornem a mim. 5 Dividirão a terra em sete partes: Judá ficará no seu território, ao sul, e a casa de José, no seu, ao norte. 6 Em sete partes fareis o gráfico da terra e mo trareis a mim, para que eu aqui vos lance as sortes perante o Senhor, nosso Deus. 7 Porquanto os levitas não têm parte entre vós, pois o sacerdócio do Senhor é a sua parte. Gade, e Rúben, e a meia tribo de Manassés já haviam recebido a sua herança dalém do Jordão, para o oriente, a qual lhes deu Moisés, servo do Senhor. 8 Dispuseram-se, pois, aqueles homens e se foram, e Josué deu ordem aos que iam levantar o gráfico da terra, dizendo: Ide, correi a terra, levantai-lhe o gráfico e tornai a mim; aqui vos lançarei as sortes perante o Senhor, em Siló. 9 Foram, pois, os homens, passaram pela terra, levantaram dela o gráfico, cidade por cidade, em sete partes, num livro, e voltaram a Josué, ao arraial em Siló. 10 Então, Josué lhes lançou as sortes em Siló, perante o Senhor; e ali repartiu Josué a terra, segundo as suas divisões, aos filhos de Israel.
11 Saiu a sorte da tribo dos filhos de Benjamim, segundo as suas famílias; e o território da sua sorte caiu entre os filhos de Judá e os filhos de José. 12 O seu limite foi para o lado norte desde o Jordão; subia ao lado de Jericó, para o norte, e subia pela montanha, para o ocidente, para terminar no deserto de Bete-Áven. 13 E dali passava o limite a Luz, ao lado de Luz (que é Betel), para o sul; descia a Atarote-Adar, ao pé do monte que está do lado sul de Bete-Horom de baixo. 14 Seguia o limite, e tornava ao lado ocidental, para o sul do monte que está defronte de Bete-Horom, para o sul, e terminava em Quiriate-Baal (que é Quiriate-Jearim), cidade dos filhos de Judá; este era o lado ocidental. 15 O lado do sul começava na extremidade oriental de Quiriate-Jearim e seguia até à fonte das águas de Neftoa; 16 descia o limite até à extremidade do monte que está defronte do vale do Filho de Hinom, ao norte do vale dos Refains, e descia pelo vale de Hinom do lado dos jebuseus, para o sul; e baixava a En-Rogel; 17 volvia-se para o norte, chegava a En-Semes, de onde passava para Gelilote, que está defronte da subida de Adumim, e descia à pedra de Boã, filho de Rúben; 18 passava pela vertente norte, defronte da planície, e descia à planície. 19 Depois, passava o limite até ao lado de Bete-Hogla, para o norte, para terminar na baía do mar Salgado, na desembocadura do Jordão, ao sul; este era o limite do sul. 20 Do lado oriental, o Jordão era o seu limite; esta era a herança dos filhos de Benjamim nos seus limites em redor, segundo as suas famílias.
21 As cidades da tribo dos filhos de Benjamim, segundo as suas famílias, eram: Jericó, Bete-Hogla, Emeque-Quesis, 22 Bete-Arabá, Zemaraim, Betel, 23 Avim, Pará, Ofra, 24 Quefar-Amonai, Ofni e Gaba; ao todo, doze cidades com suas aldeias.
25 Gibeão, Ramá, Beerote, 26 Mispa, Cefira, Mosa, 27 Requém, Irpeel, Tarala, 28 Zela, Elefe, Jebus (esta é Jerusalém), Gibeá e Quiriate; ao todo, catorze cidades com suas aldeias; esta era a herança dos filhos de Benjamim, segundo as suas famílias.
1 And the whole congregation of the children of Israel assembled together at Shiloh, and set up the tabernacle of the congregation there. And the land was subdued before them.
2 And there remained among the children of Israel seven tribes, which had not yet received their inheritance.
3 And Joshua said to the children of Israel, How long are you slack to go to possess the land, which the LORD God of your fathers has given you?
4 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.
5 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.
6 You shall therefore describe the land into seven parts, and bring the description here to me, that I may cast lots for you here before the LORD our God.
7 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.
8 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.
9 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.
10 And Joshua cast lots for them in Shiloh before the LORD: and there Joshua divided the land to the children of Israel according to their divisions.
11 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.
12 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.
13 And the border went over from there toward Luz, to the side of Luz, which is Bethel, southward; and the border descended to Atarothadar, near the hill that lies on the south side of the nether Bethhoron.
14 And the border was drawn there, and compassed the corner of the sea southward, from the hill that lies 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.
15 And the south quarter was from the end of Kirjathjearim, and the border went out on the west, and went out to the well of waters of Nephtoah:
16 And the border came down to the end of the mountain that lies before the valley of the son of Hinnom, and which is in the valley of the giants on the north, and descended to the valley of Hinnom, to the side of Jebusi on the south, and descended to Enrogel,
17 And was drawn from the north, and went forth to Enshemesh, and went forth toward Geliloth, which is over against the going up of Adummim, and descended to the stone of Bohan the son of Reuben,
18 And passed along toward the side over against Arabah northward, and went down to Arabah:
19 And the border passed along to the side of Bethhoglah northward: and the outgoings of the border were at the north bay of the salt sea at the south end of Jordan: this was the south coast.
20 And Jordan was the border of it on the east side. This was the inheritance of the children of Benjamin, by the coasts thereof round about, according to their families.
21 Now the cities of the tribe of the children of Benjamin according to their families were Jericho, and Bethhoglah, and the valley of Keziz,
22 And Betharabah, and Zemaraim, and Bethel,
23 And Avim, and Pharah, and Ophrah,
24 And Chepharhaammonai, and Ophni, and Gaba; twelve cities with their villages:
25 Gibeon, and Ramah, and Beeroth,
26 And Mizpeh, and Chephirah, and Mozah,
27 And Rekem, and Irpeel, and Taralah,
28 And Zelah, Eleph, and Jebusi, which is Jerusalem, Gibeath, and Kirjath; fourteen cities with their villages. This is the inheritance of the children of Benjamin according to their families.
