Joshua 18

وَاجْتَمَعَ كُلُّ جَمَاعَةِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي شِيلُوهَ وَنَصَبُوا هُنَاكَ خَيْمَةَ الاجْتِمَاعِ، وَأُخْضِعَتِ الأَرْضُ قُدَّامَهُمْ.

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.

وَبَقِيَ مِنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ مِمَّنْ لَمْ يَقْسِمُوا نَصِيبَهُمْ، سَبْعَةُ أَسْبَاطٍ.

And there remained among the children of Israel seven tribes, which had not yet received their inheritance.

فَقَالَ يَشُوعُ لِبَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ: «حَتَّى مَتَى أَنْتُمْ مُتَرَاخُونَ عَنِ الدُّخُولِ لامْتِلاَكِ الأَرْضِ الَّتِي أَعْطَاكُمْ إِيَّاهَا الرَّبُّ إِلهُ آبَائِكُمْ؟

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?

هَاتُوا ثَلاَثَةَ رِجَال مِنْ كُلِّ سِبْطٍ فَأُرْسِلَهُمْ فَيَقُومُوا وَيَسِيرُوا فِي الأَرْضِ وَيَكْتُبُوهَا بِحَسَبِ أَنْصِبَتِهِمْ، ثُمَّ يَأْتُوا إِلَيَّ.

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.

وَلْيَقْسِمُوهَا إِلَى سَبْعَةِ أَقْسَامٍ، فَيُقِيمُ يَهُوذَا عَلَى تُخُمِهِ مِنَ الْجَنُوبِ، وَيُقِيمُ بَيْتُ يُوسُفَ عَلَى تُخُمِهِمْ مِنَ الشِّمَالِ.

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.

وَأَنْتُمْ تَكْتُبُونَ الأَرْضَ سَبْعَةَ أَقْسَامٍ، ثُمَّ تَأْتُونَ إِلَيَّ هُنَا فَأُلْقِي لَكُمْ قُرْعَةً ههُنَا أَمَامَ الرَّبِّ إِلهِنَا.

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.

لأَنَّهُ لَيْسَ لِلاَّوِيِّينَ قِسْمٌ فِي وَسَطِكُمْ، لأَنَّ كَهَنُوتَ الرَّبِّ هُوَ نَصِيبُهُمْ. وَجَادُ وَرَأُوبَيْنُ وَنِصْفُ سِبْطِ مَنَسَّى قَدْ أَخَذُوا نَصِيبَهُمْ فِي عَبْرِ الأُرْدُنِّ نَحْوَ الشُّرُوقِ، الَّذِي أَعْطَاهُمْ إِيَّاهُ مُوسَى عَبْدُ الرَّبِّ».

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.

فَقَامَ الرِّجَالُ وَذَهَبُوا. وَأَوْصَى يَشُوعُ الذَّاهِبِينَ لِكِتَابَةِ الأَرْضِ قَائِلاً: «اِذْهَبُوا وَسِيرُوا فِي الأَرْضِ وَاكْتُبُوهَا، ثُمَّ ارْجِعُوا إِلَيَّ فَأُلْقِي لَكُمْ هُنَا قُرْعَةً أَمَامَ الرَّبِّ فِي شِيلُوهَ».

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.

فَسَارَ الرِّجَالُ وَعَبَرُوا فِي الأَرْضِ وَكَتَبُوهَا حَسَبَ الْمُدُنِ سَبْعَةَ أَقْسَامٍ فِي سِفْرٍ، ثُمَّ جَاءُوا إِلَى يَشُوعَ إِلَى الْمَحَلَّةِ فِي شِيلُوهَ.

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.

فَأَلْقَى لَهُمْ يَشُوعُ قُرْعَةً فِي شِيلُوهَ أَمَامَ الرَّبِّ، وَهُنَاكَ قَسَمَ يَشُوعُ الأَرْضَ لِبَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ حَسَبَ فِرَقِهِمْ.

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.

وَطَلَعَتْ قُرْعَةُ سِبْطِ بَنِي بَنْيَامِينَ حَسَبَ عَشَائِرِهِمْ، وَخَرَجَ تُخُمُ قُرْعَتِهِمْ بَيْنَ بَنِي يَهُوذَا وَبَنِي يُوسُفَ:

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.

وَكَانَ تُخُمُهُمْ مِنْ جِهَةِ الشِّمَالِ مِنَ الأُرْدُنِّ. وَصَعِدَ التُّخُمُ إِلَى جَانِبِ أَرِيحَا مِنَ الشِّمَالِ وَصَعِدَ فِي الْجَبَلِ غَرْبًا، وَكَانَتْ مَخَارِجُهُ عَُِنْدَ بَرِّيَّةِ بَيْتِ آوِنَ.

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 Beth–aven.

وَعَبَرَ التُّخُمُ مِنْ هُنَاكَ إِلَى لُوزَ، إِلَى جَانِبِ لُوزَ الْجَنُوبِيِّ، هِيَ بَيْتُ إِيلَ، وَنَزَلَ التُّخُمُ إِلَى عَطَارُوتِ إِدَّارَ عَلَى الْجَبَلِ الَّذِي إِلَى جَنُوبِ بَيْتِ حُورُونَ السُّفْلَى.

And the border went over from thence toward Luz, to the side of Luz, which is Beth–el, southward; and the border descended to Ataroth–adar, near the hill that lieth on the south side of the nether Beth–horon.

وَامْتَدَّ التُّخُمُ وَدَارَ إِلَى جِهَةِ الْغَرْبِ جَنُوبًا مِنَ الْجَبَلِ الَّذِي مُقَابَِلَ بَيْتِ حُورُونَ جَنُوبًا. وَكَانَتْ مَخَارِجُهُ عِنْدَ قَرْيَةِ بَعْل، هِيَ قَرْيَةُ يَعَارِيمَ. مَدِينَةٌ لِبَنِي يَهُوذَا. هذِهِ هِيَ جِهَةُ الْغَرْبِ.

And the border was drawn thence, and compassed the corner of the sea southward, from the hill that lieth before Beth–horon southward; and the goings out thereof were at Kirjath–baal, which is Kirjath–jearim, a city of the children of Judah: this was the west quarter.

وَجِهَةُ الْجَنُوبِ هِيَ أَقْصَى قَرْيَةِ يَعَارِيمَ. وَخَرَجَ التُّخُمُ غَرْبًا وَخَرَجَ إِلَى مَنْبَعِ مِيَاهِ نَفْتُوحَ.

And the south quarter was from the end of Kirjath–jearim, and the border went out on the west, and went out to the well of waters of Nephtoah:

وَنَزَلَ التُّخُمُ إِلَى طَرَفِ الْجَبَلِ الَّذِي مُقَابَِلَ وَادِي ابْنِ هِنُّومَ الَّذِي فِي وَادِي الرَّفَائِيِّينَ شِمَالاً، وَنَزَلَ إِلَى وَادِي هِنُّومَ إِلَى جَانِبِ الْيَبُوسِيِّينَ مِنَ الْجَنُوبِ، وَنَزَلَ إِلَى عَيْنِ رُوجَلَ.

And the border came down to the end of the mountain that lieth 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 En–rogel,

وَامْتَدَّ مِنَ الشِّمَالِ وَخَرَجَ إِلَى عَيْنِ شَمْسٍ، وَخَرَجَ إِلَى جَلِيلُوتَ الَّتِي مُقَابِلَ عَقَبَةِ أَدُمِّيمَ، وَنَزَلَ إِلَى حَجَرِ بُوهَنَ بْنِ رَأُوبَيْنَ.

And was drawn from the north, and went forth to En–shemesh, 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,

وَعَبَرَ إِلَى الْكَتِفِ مُقَابِلَ الْعَرَبَةِ شِمَالاً، وَنَزَلَ إِلَى الْعَرَبَةِ.

And passed along toward the side over against Arabah northward, and went down unto Arabah:

وَعَبَرَ التُّخُمُ إِلَى جَانِبِ بَيْتِ حُجْلَةَ شِمَالاً. وَكَانَتْ مَخَارِجُ التُّخُمِ عِنْدَ لِسَانِ بَحْرِ الْمِلْحِ شِمَالاً إِلَى طَرَفِ الأُرْدُنِّ جَنُوبًا. هذَا هُوَ تُخُمُ الْجَنُوبِ.

And the border passed along to the side of Beth–hoglah 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.

وَالأُرْدُنُّ يَتْخُمُهُ مِنْ جِهَةِ الشَّرْقِ. فَهذَا هُوَ نَصِيبُ بَنِي بَنْيَامِينَ مَعَ تُخُومِهِ مُسْتَدِيرًا حَسَبَ عَشَائِرِهِمْ.

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.

وَكَانَتْ مُدُنُ سِبْطِ بَنِي بَنْيَامِينَ حَسَبَ عَشَائِرِهِمْ: أَرِيحَا وَبَيْتَ حُجْلَةَ وَوَادِي قَصِيصَ،

Now the cities of the tribe of the children of Benjamin according to their families were Jericho, and Beth–hoglah, and the valley of Keziz,

وَبَيْتَ الْعَرَبَةِ وَصَمَارَايِمَ وَبَيْتَ إِيلَ،

And Beth–arabah, and Zemaraim, and Beth–el,

وَالْعَوِّيمَ وَالْفَارَةَ وَعَفْرَةَ،

And Avim, and Parah, and Ophrah,

وَكَفْرَ الْعَمُّونِيِّ وَالْعُفْنِي وَجَبَعَ، سِتَّ عَشَرَةَ مَدِينَةً مَعَ ضِيَاعِهَا.

And Chephar–haammonai, and Ophni, and Gaba; twelve cities with their villages:

جِبْعُونَ وَالرَّامَةَ وَبَئِيرُوتَ،

Gibeon, and Ramah, and Beeroth,

وَالْمِصْفَاةَ وَالْكَفِيرَةَ وَالْمُوصَةَ،

And Mizpeh, and Chephirah, and Mozah,

وَرَاقَمَ وَيَرَفْئِيلَ وَتَرَالَةَ،

And Rekem, and Irpeel, and Taralah,

وَصَيْلَعَ وَآلفَ وَالْيَبُوسِيَّ، هِيَ أُورُشَلِيمُ، وَجِبْعَةَ وَقِرْيَةَ أَرْبَعَ. عَشَرَةَ مَدِينَةً مَعَ ضِيَاعِهَا. هذَا هُوَ نَصِيبُ بَنِي بَنْيَامِينَ حَسَبَ عَشَائِرِهِمْ.

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.
