1 Then|strong="H1121" the|strong="H3605" whole|strong="H3605" community|strong="H5712" of|strong="H1121" the|strong="H3605" Israelites|strong="H3478", having subdued|strong="H3533" the|strong="H3605" country, met at|strong="H3478" Shilo and|strong="H1121" set|strong="H7931" up|strong="H1121" the|strong="H3605" Tent of|strong="H1121" Meeting|strong="H4150" there|strong="H8033".
2 As|strong="H1121" there|strong="H3498" were|strong="H3478" still seven|strong="H7651" tribes|strong="H7626" of|strong="H1121" Israel|strong="H3478" which|strong="H3478" had|strong="H3478" not|strong="H3808" yet|strong="H3808" divided|strong="H2505" their|strong="H3808" inheritance|strong="H5159",
3 Joshua|strong="H3091" said to|strong="H5704" the|strong="H5414" Israelites|strong="H3478", ‘How|strong="H5704" long|strong="H5704" will|strong="H3068" you|strong="H5414" delay to|strong="H5704" enter and|strong="H1121" occupy|strong="H3423" the|strong="H5414" land which|strong="H3068" the|strong="H5414" \+w Lord|strong="H3068"\+w*, the|strong="H5414" God|strong="H3068" of|strong="H1121" your|strong="H3068" ancestors, has|strong="H3068" given|strong="H5414" you|strong="H5414"?
4 Appoint|strong="H7971" three|strong="H7969" men|strong="H1980" from|strong="H1980" each tribe|strong="H7626". I|strong="H1980" will|strong="H6310" send|strong="H7971" them|strong="H7971" to|strong="H1980" make|strong="H6965" a|strong="H3068" survey of|strong="H7626" the|strong="H7971" land|strong="H5159" showing the|strong="H7971" proposed areas for|strong="H7971" their|strong="H7971" inheritance|strong="H5159". Then|strong="H1980" they|strong="H6310" are|strong="H6310" to|strong="H1980" come|strong="H1980" back|strong="H1980" to|strong="H1980" me|strong="H7971".
5 They|strong="H5921" must divide|strong="H2505" it|strong="H5921" into|strong="H5921" seven|strong="H7651" parts|strong="H2506", with|strong="H1004" Judah|strong="H3063" in|strong="H5921" the|strong="H5921" southern|strong="H5045" territory|strong="H1366" and|strong="H3063" Joseph|strong="H3130" in|strong="H5921" the|strong="H5921" northern|strong="H6828".
6 Mark out|strong="H6440" the|strong="H6440" land|strong="H6440" into seven|strong="H7651" divisions|strong="H2506" and|strong="H3068" bring me|strong="H6440" the|strong="H6440" plan. Then|strong="H3068" I|strong="H6440" will|strong="H3068" draw|strong="H3384" lots|strong="H1486" for|strong="H6440" you|strong="H6440" here|strong="H6311" before|strong="H6440" the|strong="H6440" \+w Lord|strong="H3068"\+w* our|strong="H3068" God|strong="H3068".
7 The|strong="H3588" Levites|strong="H3881" do|strong="H3068" not|strong="H5414" share|strong="H2506" with|strong="H3068" you|strong="H3588". Their|strong="H3068" share|strong="H2506" is|strong="H3068" the|strong="H3588" priesthood|strong="H3550" of|strong="H3068" the|strong="H3588" \+w Lord|strong="H3068"\+w*. Gad|strong="H1410" and|strong="H4872" Reuben|strong="H7205" and|strong="H4872" the|strong="H3588" half|strong="H2677" tribe|strong="H7626" of|strong="H3068" Manasseh|strong="H4519" have|strong="H3068" already received|strong="H3947" their|strong="H3068" inheritance|strong="H5159" on|strong="H3068" the|strong="H3588" east|strong="H4217" of|strong="H3068" the|strong="H3588" Jordan|strong="H3383", assigned|strong="H5414" them|strong="H5414" by|strong="H3068" Moses|strong="H4872" the|strong="H3588" servant|strong="H5650" of|strong="H3068" the|strong="H3588" \+w Lord|strong="H3068"\+w*.’
8 Then|strong="H1980" the|strong="H6440" men|strong="H1980" started|strong="H6965", ordered|strong="H6680" by|strong="H3068" Joshua|strong="H3091" to|strong="H1980" travel|strong="H1980" through|strong="H1980" the|strong="H6440" land|strong="H6440" and|strong="H1980" map|strong="H3789" it|strong="H7725" out|strong="H7993" before|strong="H6440" they|strong="H3068" returned|strong="H7725" to|strong="H1980" him|strong="H6440". Then|strong="H1980" he|strong="H3068" would|strong="H3068" draw|strong="H7725" lots|strong="H1486" for|strong="H6440" them|strong="H7725" before|strong="H6440" the|strong="H6440" \+w Lord|strong="H3068"\+w* at|strong="H3068" Shilo.
9 The|strong="H5921" men|strong="H7651" went|strong="H3212" and|strong="H3212" traversed the|strong="H5921" country, mapping it|strong="H5921" out|strong="H5921" by|strong="H5921" towns|strong="H5892" into|strong="H3212" seven|strong="H7651" parts|strong="H2506", and|strong="H3212" brought|strong="H3212" their|strong="H5921" written|strong="H3789" report to|strong="H3212" Joshua|strong="H3091" at|strong="H5921" the|strong="H5921" camp|strong="H4264" in|strong="H5921" Shilo.
10 Joshua|strong="H3091" then|strong="H3068" drew|strong="H7993" lots|strong="H1486" for|strong="H6440" them|strong="H6440" at|strong="H3478" Shilo before|strong="H6440" the|strong="H6440" \+w Lord|strong="H3068"\+w*, where|strong="H8033" he|strong="H8033" divided|strong="H2505" the|strong="H6440" land|strong="H6440" for|strong="H6440" the|strong="H6440" Israelites|strong="H3478" according to|strong="H3478" their|strong="H3068" divisions|strong="H4256".
11 When|strong="H3318" the|strong="H3318" lot|strong="H1486" was|strong="H3063" drawn|strong="H3318" for|strong="H1121" the|strong="H3318" tribe|strong="H4294" of|strong="H1121" the|strong="H3318" Benjamites according to|strong="H3318" their|strong="H3318" clans|strong="H4940", the|strong="H3318" territory|strong="H1366" allotted|strong="H1486" to|strong="H3318" them|strong="H3318" was|strong="H3063" to|strong="H3318" lie|strong="H5927" between the|strong="H3318" Judahites and|strong="H1121" the|strong="H3318" Josephites.
12 Their|strong="H1961" frontier on|strong="H1961" the|strong="H4480" north|strong="H6828" stretched from|strong="H4480" the|strong="H4480" Jordan|strong="H3383" to|strong="H5927" the|strong="H4480" north|strong="H6828" of|strong="H2022" Jericho|strong="H3405" right through|strong="H4480" the|strong="H4480" highlands westward|strong="H3220", ending at|strong="H1961" the|strong="H4480" desert|strong="H4057" of|strong="H2022" Beth-aven|strong="H1007".
13 Then|strong="H5674" the|strong="H5921" frontier ran to|strong="H3381" Luz|strong="H3870", passing|strong="H5674" below|strong="H3381" Luz|strong="H3870" (which|strong="H1931" is|strong="H1931" Bethel|strong="H1008") to|strong="H3381" the|strong="H5921" south|strong="H5045", down|strong="H3381" to|strong="H3381" Ataroth-addar|strong="H5853" near|strong="H5921" the|strong="H5921" hill|strong="H2022" that|strong="H1931" lies south|strong="H5045" of|strong="H2022" Lower|strong="H8481" Beth-horon|strong="H1032".
14 The|strong="H6440" frontier then|strong="H1961" turned|strong="H5437" from|strong="H4480" the|strong="H6440" hill|strong="H2022" south|strong="H5045" of|strong="H1121" Lower Beth-horon|strong="H1032" and|strong="H1121" passed|strong="H1961" on|strong="H5921" to|strong="H1961" the|strong="H6440" south|strong="H5045" along|strong="H5921" the|strong="H6440" west|strong="H3220", ending at|strong="H5921" Kiriath-baal|strong="H7154" (which|strong="H1931" is|strong="H1931" Kiriath-jearim|strong="H7157"), a|strong="H3068" Judahite town|strong="H5892".
