Joshua 18

ECB(i) 1
THE ALLOTMENT OF THE REST OF THE LAND And the whole witness of the sons of Yisra El congregates at Shiloh and there they tabernacle the tent of the congregation: and the land is subdued at their face: 2 and among the sons of Yisra El remain seven scions who allotted not their inheritance. 3 And Yah Shua says to the sons of Yisra El, How long slack you to go to possess the land Yah Veh Elohim of your fathers gives you? 4 Give out from among you three men per scion: and I send them to rise and walk through the land and chart it by mouth according to their inheritance; and then come to me. 5 - allot it into seven allotments: Yah Hudah stands in their border on the south; and the house of Yoseph stands in their border on the north: 6 chart the land into seven allotments and bring here to me; and I cast pebbles for you here at the face of Yah Veh our Elohim. 7 For the Leviym have no allotment among you; for the priesthood of Yah Veh is their inheritance: and Gad and Reu Ben and the half scion of Menash Sheh take their inheritance beyond Yarden on the east, which Mosheh the servant of Yah Veh gives them. 8
CHARTING THE LAND And the men rise and go: and Yah Shua misvahs them going to chart the land, saying, Go and walk through the land and chart it and return to me; and I cast pebbles for you at the face of Yah Veh in Shiloh. 9 And the men go and pass through the land and chart it in a scroll by cities into seven allotments; and come again to Yah Shua to the camp at Shiloh. 10 And Yah Shua casts pebbles for them in Shiloh at the face of Yah Veh: and there Yah Shua allots the land to the sons of Yisra El according to their allotment. 11
THE PEBBLE OF BEN YAMIN And the pebble of the rod of the sons of Ben Yamin ascends according to their families: and the border of their pebble goes between the sons of Yah Hudah and the sons of Yoseph. 12 And their border on the north edge is from Yarden; and the border ascends to the shoulder of Yericho on the north; and ascends through the mountains seaward; and the exits are at the wilderness of Beth Aven; 13 and the border passes over from there toward Luz - to the shoulder of Luz, which is Beth El, southward; and the border descends to Ataroth Addar near the mountain on the south side of the nether Beth Horon; 14 and the border is surveyed and goes around the edge of the sea southward; from the mountain at the face of Beth Horon southward; and the exits are at Qiryath Baal which is Qiryath Arim, a city of the sons of Yah Hudah; this is the sea edge: 15 and the south edge: from the end of Qiryath Arim; and the border goes on the sea and goes to the fountain of Mayim Nephtoach: 16 and the border descends to the end of the mountain at the face of the valley of the son of Hinnom/Burning in the valley of Rephaim on the north; and descends to the valley of Hinnom/Burning to the shoulder of Yebusi on the south; and descends to En Rogel; 17 and is surveyed from the north and goes to En Shemesh; and goes toward Geliloth over against the ascent of Adummim; and descends to the stone of Bohan the son of Reu Ben; 18 and passes along toward the shoulder toward the plain northward and descends to the plain; 19 and the border passes along to the shoulder of Beth Chogla northward; and the exits of the border are at the north tongue of the salt sea at the south end of Yarden; - this is the south border: 20 and Yarden borders it on the east edge. - this is the inheritance of the sons of Ben Yamin by the borders all around, for their families. 21
CITIES OF BEN YAMIN Now the cities for the rod of the sons of Ben Yamin for to their families are Yericho and Beth Chogla and the valley of Qesis 22 and Beth Arabah and Semarayim and Beth El 23 and Avviy and Parah and Ophrah 24 and Kephar Ammonai and Opheniy and Geba - twelve cities with their courts: 25 Gibon and Ramah and Beeroth 26 and Mispeh and Kephirah and Mosah 27 and Reqem and Yirpe El and Taralah 28 and Sela, Chiliarch and Yebusi which is Yeru Shalem Gibath and Qiryath - fourteen cities with their courts. - this is the inheritance of the sons of Ben Yamin according to their families.
