Josh 10:39 He took it, and destroyed it: the king also thereof, and all the towns round about, he destroyed with the edge of the sword: he left not in it any remains: as he had done to Hebron and Lebna, and to their kings, so did he to Dabir, and to the king thereof. Josh 10:40 So Joshua conquered all the country of the hills, and of the south, and of the plain, and of Asedoth, with their kings: he left not any remains therein, but slew all that breathed, as the Lord, the God of Israel, had commanded him. Josh 10:41 From Cadesbarne even to Gaza. All the land of Gosen even to Gabaon, Josh 10:42 And all their kings, and their lands he took and wasted at one onset: for the Lord the God of Israel fought for him. Josh 10:43 And he returned with all Israel to the place of the camp in Galgal. Josh 11:1 And when Jabin king of Asor had heard these things, he sent to Jobab king of Madon, and to the king of Semeron, and to the king of Achsaph: Josh 11:2 And to the kings of the north, that dwelt in the mountains and in the plains over against the south side of Ceneroth, and in the levels and the countries of Dor by the sea side: Josh 11:3 To the Chanaanites also on the east and on the west, and the Amorrhite, and the Hethite, and the Pherezite, and the Jebusite in the mountains: to the Hevite also who dwelt at the foot of Hermon in the land of Maspha.

Josh 11:4 And they all came out with their troops, a people exceeding numerous as the sand that is on the sea shore, their horses also and chariots a very great multitude, Josh 11:5 And all these kings assembled together at the waters of Merom, to fight against Israel. Josh 11:6 And the Lord said to Joshua: Fear them not: for to morrow at this same hour I will deliver all these to be slain in the sight of Israel: thou shalt hamstring their horses, and thou shalt burn their chariots with fire. Josh 11:7 And Joshua came, and all the army with him, against them to the waters of Merom on a sudden, and fell upon them. Josh 11:8 And the Lord delivered them into the hands of Israel. And they defeated them, and chased them as far as the great Sidon and the waters of Maserophot, and the field of Masphe, which is on the east thereof. He slew them all, so as to leave no remains of them: Josh 11:9 And he did as the Lord had commanded him, he hamstringed their horses and burned their chariots. Josh 11:10 And presently turning back he took Asor: and slew the king thereof with the sword. Now Asor of old was the head of all these kingdoms.

Josh 11:11 And he cut off all the souls that abode there: he left not in it any remains, but utterly destroyed all, and burned the city itself with fire. Josh 11:12 And he took and put to the sword and destroyed all the cities round about, and their kings, as Moses the servant of God had commanded him. Josh 11:13 Except the cities that were on hills and high places, the rest Israel burned: only Asor that was very strong he consumed with fire. Josh 11:14 And the children of Israel divided among themselves all the spoil of these cities and the cattle, killing all the men. Josh 11:15 As the Lord had commanded Moses his servant, so did Moses command Joshua, and he accomplished all: he left not one thing undone of all the commandments which the Lord had commanded Moses. Josh 11:16 So Joshua took all the country of the hills, and of the south, and the land of Gosen, and the plains and the west country, and the mountain of Israel, and the plains thereof: Josh 11:17 And part of the mountain that goeth up to Seir as far as Baalgad, by the plain of Libanus under mount Hermon: all their kings he took, smote and slew. Josh 11:18 Joshua made war a long time against these kings.

Josh 11:19 There was not a city that delivered itself to the children of Israel, except the Hevite, who dwelt in Gabaon: for he took all by fight. Josh 11:20 For it was the sentence of the Lord, that their hearts should be hardened, and they should fight against Israel, and fall, and should not deserve any clemency, and should be destroyed as the Lord had commanded Moses. Josh 11:21 At that time Joshua came and cut off the Enancims from the mountains, from Hebron, and Dabir, and Anab, and from all the mountain of Juda and Israel, and destroyed their cities. Josh 11:22 He left not any of the stock of the Enacims, in the land of the children of Israel: except the cities of Gaza, and Geth, and Azotus, in which alone they were left. Josh 11:23 So Joshua took all the land, as the Lord spoke to Moses, and delivered it in possession to the children of Israel, according to their divisions and tribes. And the land rested from wars. Josh 12:1 These are the kings, whom the children of Israel slew and possessed their land beyond the Jordan towards the rising of the sun, from the torrent Arnon unto mount Hermon, and all the east country that looketh towards the wilderness.

Josh 12:2 Sehon king of the Amorrhites, who dwelt in Hesebon, and had dominion from Aroer, which is seated upon the bank of the torrent Arnon, and of the middle part in the valley, and of half Galaad, as far as the torrent Jaboc, which is the border of the children of Ammon. Josh 12:3 And from the wilderness, to the sea of Ceneroth towards the east, and to the sea of the wilderness, which is the most salt sea, on the east side by the way that leadeth to Bethsimoth: and on the south side that lieth under Asedoth, Phasga. Josh 12:4 The border of Og the king of Basan, of the remnant of the Raphaims who dwelt in Astaroth, and in Edrai, and had dominion in mount Hermon, and in Salecha, and in all Basan, unto the borders Josh 12:5 Of Gessuri and Machati, and of half Galaad: the borders of Sehon the king of Hesebon. Josh 12:6 Moses the servant of the Lord, and the children of Israel slew them, and Moses delivered their land in possession to the Rubenites, and Gadites, and the half tribe of Manasses.

Josh 12:7 These are the kings of the land, whom Joshua and the children of Israel slew beyond the Jordan on the west side from Baalgad in the field of Libanus, unto the mount, part of which goeth up into Seir: and Joshua delivered it in possession to the tribes of Israel, to every one their divisions, Josh 12:8 As well in the mountains as in the plains and the champaign countries. In Asedoth, and in the wilderness, and in the south was the Hethite and the Amorrhite, the Chanaanite and the Pherezite, the Hevite and the Jebusite. Josh 12:9 The king of Jericho one: the king of Hai, which is on the side of Bethel, one: Josh 12:10 The king of Jerusalem one, the king of Hebron one, Josh 12:11 The king of Jerimoth one, thee king of Lachis one, Josh 12:12 The king of Eglon one, the king of Gazer one, Josh 12:13 The king of Dabir one, the king of Gader one, Josh 12:14 The king of Herma one, the king of Hered one, Josh 12:15 The king of Lebna one, the king of Odullam one, Josh 12:16 The king of Maceda one, the king of Bethel one, Josh 12:17 The king of Taphua one, the king of Opher one, Josh 12:18 The king of Aphec one, the king of Saron one, Josh 12:19 The king of Madon one, the king of Asor one, Josh 12:20 The king of Semeron one, the king of Achsaph one, Josh 12:21 The king of Thenac one, the king of Mageddo one, Josh 12:22 Thee king of Cades one, the king of Jachanan of Carmel one, Josh 12:23 The king of Dor, and of the province of Dor one, the king of the nations of Galgal one, Josh 12:24 The king of Thersa one: all the kings thirty and one. Josh 13:1 Joshua was old, and far advanced in years, and the Lord said to him: Thou art grown old, and advanced in age, and there is a very large country left, which is not yet divided by lot: Josh 13:2 To wit, all Galilee, Philistia, and all Gessuri. Josh 13:3 From the troubled river, that watereth Egypt, unto the border of Accaron northward: the land of Chanaan, which is divided among the lords of the Philistines, the Gazites, the Azotians, the Ascalonites, the Gethites, and the Accronites. Josh 13:4 And on the south side are the Hevites, all the land of Chanaan, and Maara of the Sidonians as far as Apheca, and the borders of the Amorrhite, Josh 13:5 And his confines. The country also of Libanus towards the east from Baalgad under mount Hermon to the entering into Emath.

Josh 13:6 Of all that dwell in the mountains from Libanus, to the waters of Maserephoth, and all the Sidonians. I am he that will cut them off from before the face of the children of Israel. So let their land come in as a part of the inheritance of Israel, as I have commanded thee. Josh 13:7 And now divide the land in possession to the nine tribes, and to the half tribe of Manasses, Josh 13:8 With whom Ruben and Gad have possessed the land, which Moses the servant of the Lord delivered to them beyond the river Jordan, on the east side. Josh 13:9 From Aroer, which is upon the bank of the torrent Arnon, and in the midst of the valley and all the plains of Medaba, as far as Dibon: Josh 13:10 And all the cities of Sehon, king of the Amorrhites, who reigned in Hesebon, unto the borders of the children of Ammon. Josh 13:11 And Galaad, and the borders of Gessuri and Machati, and all mount Hermon, and all Basan as far as Salecha, Josh 13:12 All the kingdom of Og in Basan, who reigned in Astaroth and Edrai, he was of the remains of the Raphaims: and Moses overthrew and destroyed them.

Josh 13:13 And the children of Israel would not destroy Gessuri and Machati and they have dwelt in the midst of Israel, until this present day. Josh 13:14 But to the tribe of Levi he gave no possession: but the sacrifices and victims of thee Lord God of Israel, are his inheritance, as he spoke to him. Josh 13:15 And Moses gave a possession to the children of Ruben according to their kindreds. Josh 13:16 And their border was from Aroer, which is on the bank of the torrent Arnon, and in the midst of the valley of the same torrent: all the plain, that leadeth to Medaba, Josh 13:17 And Hesebon, and all their villages, which are in the plains. Dibon also, and Bamothbaal, and the town of Baalmaon, Josh 13:18 And Jassa, and Cidimoth, and Mephaath, Josh 13:19 And Cariathaim, and Sabama, and Sarathasar in the mountain of the valley. Josh 13:20 Bethphogor and Asedoth, Phasga and Bethiesimoth, Josh 13:21 And all the cities of the plain, and all the kingdoms of Sehon king of the Amorrhites, that reigned in Hesebon, whom Moses slew with the princes of Madian: Hevi, and Recem, and Sur and Hur, and Rebe, dukes of Sehon inhabitants of the land.

Josh 13:22 Balaam also the son of Beor the soothsayer, the children of Israel slew with the sword among the rest that were slain. Josh 13:23 And the river Jordan was the border of the children of Ruben. This is the possession of the Rubenites, by their kindreds, of cities and villages. Josh 13:24 And Moses gave to the tribe of Gad and to his children by their kindreds a possession, of which this is the division. Josh 13:25 The border of Jaser, and all the cities of Galaad, and half the land of the children of Ammon: as far as Aroer which is over against Rabba: Josh 13:26 And from Hesebon unto Ramoth, Masphe and Betonim: and from Manaim unto the borders of Dabir. Josh 13:27 And in the valley Betharan and Bethnemra, and Socoth, and Saphon the other part of the kingdom of Sehon king of Hesebon: the limit of this also is the Jordan, as far as the uttermost part of the sea of Cenereth beyond the Jordan on the east side, Josh 13:28 This is the possession of the children of Gad by their families, their cities, and villages. Josh 13:29 He gave also to the half tribe of Manasses and his children possession according to their kindreds, Josh 13:30 The beginning whereof is this: from Manaim all Basan, and all the kingdoms of Og king of Basan, and all the villages of Jair, which are in Basan, threescore towns. Josh 13:31 And half Galaad, and Astaroth, and Edrai, cities of the kingdom of Og in Basan: to the children of Machir, the son of Manasses, to one half of the children of Machir according to their kindreds. Josh 13:32 This possession Moses divided in the plains of Moab, beyond the Jordan, over against Jericho on the east side, Josh 13:33 But to the tribe of Levi he gave no possession: because the Lord the God of Israel himself is their possession, as he spoke to them. Josh 14:1 This is what the children of Israel possessed in the land of Chanaan, which Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun, and the princes of the families by the tribes of Israel gave to them. Josh 14:2 Dividing all by lot, as the Lord had commanded the hand of Moses, to the nine tribes, and the half tribe. Josh 14:3 For to two tribes and a half Moses had given possession beyond the Jordan: besides the Levites, who received no land among their brethren: Josh 14:4 But in their place succeeded the children of Joseph divided into two tribes, of Manasses and Ephraim: neither did the Levites receive other portion of land, but cities to dwell in, and their suburbs to feed their beasts and flocks. Josh 14:5 As the Lord had commanded Moses so did the children of Israel, and they divided the land. Josh 14:6 Then the children of Juda came to Joshua in Galgal, and Caleb the son of Jephone the Cenezite spoke to him: Thou knowest what the Lord spoke to Moses the man of God concerning me and thee in Cadesbarne. Josh 14:7 I was forty years old when Moses the servant of the Lord sent me from Cadesbarne, to view the land, and I brought him word again as to me seemed true, Josh 14:8 But my brethren, that had gone up with me, discouraged the heart of the people: and I nevertheless followed the Lord my God. Josh 14:9 And Moses swore in that day, saying: The land which thy foot hath trodden upon shall be thy possession, and thy children for ever, because thou hast followed the Lord my God.

Josh 14:10 The Lord therefore hath granted me life, as he promised until this present day, It is forty and five years since the Lord spoke this word to Moses, when Israel journeyed through the wilderness: this day I am eighty-five years old, Josh 14:11 As strong as I was at that time when I was sent to view the land: the strength of that time continueth in me until this day, as well to fight as to march. Josh 14:12 Give me therefore this mountain, which the Lord promised, in thy hearing also, wherein are the Enacims, and cities great and strong: if so be the Lord will be with me, and I shall be able to destroy them, as he promised me. Josh 14:13 And Joshua blessed him, and gave him Hebron in possession. Josh 14:14 And from that time Hebron belonged to Caleb the son of Jephone the Cenezite, until this present day: because he followed the Lord the God of Israel. Josh 14:15 The name of Hebron before was called Cariath-Arbe: Adam the greatest among the Enacims was laid there and the land rested from wars. Josh 15:1 Now the lot of the children of Juda by their kindreds was this: From the frontier of Edom, to the desert of Sin southward, and to the uttermost part of the south coast. Josh 15:2 Its beginning was from the top of the most salt sea, and from the bay thereof, that looketh to the south.

Josh 15:3 And it goeth out towards the ascent of the Scorpion, and passeth on to Sina: and ascendeth into Cadesbarne, and reacheth into Esron, going up to Addar, and compassing Carcaa. Josh 15:4 And from thence passing along into Asemona, and reaching the torrent of Egypt: and the bounds thereof shall be the great sea, this shall be the limit of the south coast. Josh 15:5 But on the east side the beginning shall be the most salt sea even to the end of the Jordan: and towards the north from the bay of the sea unto the same river Jordan. Josh 15:6 And the border goeth up into Beth-Hagla, and passeth by the north into Beth-Araba: going up to the stone of Boen the son of Ruben. Josh 15:7 And reaching as far as the borders of Debara from the valley of Achor, and so northward looking towards Galgal, which is opposite to the ascent of Adommin, on the south side of the torrent, and the border passeth the waters that are called the fountain of the sun: and the goings out thereof shall be at the fountain Rogel.

Josh 15:8 And it goeth up by the valley of the son of Ennom on the side of the Jebusite towards the south, the same is Jerusalem: and thence ascending to the top of the mountain, which is over against Geennom to the west in the end of the valley of Raphaim, northward. Josh 15:9 And it passeth on from the top of the mountain to the fountain of the water of Nephtoa: and reacheth to the towns of mount Ephron: and it bendeth towards Baala, which is Cariathiarim, that is to say, the city of the woods. Josh 15:10 And it compasseth from Baala westward unto mount Seir: and passeth by the side of mount Jarim to the north into Cheslon: and goeth down into Bethsames, and passeth into Thamna. Josh 15:11 And reacheth northward to a part of Accaron at the side: and bendeth to Sechrona, and passeth mount Baala: and cometh into Jebneel, and is bounded westward with the great sea. Josh 15:12 These are the borders round about of the children of Juda in their kindreds. Josh 15:13 But to Caleb the son of Jephone he gave a portion in the midst of the children of Juda, as the Lord had commanded him: Cariath-Arbe the father of Enac, which is Hebron. Josh 15:14 And Caleb destroyed out of it the three sons of Enac, Sesai and Ahiman, and Tholmai of the race of Enac. Josh 15:15 And going up from thence he came to the inhabitants of Dabir, which before was called Cariath-Sepher, that is to say, the city of letters.

Josh 15:16 And Caleb said: He that shall smite Cariath-Sepher, and take it, I will give him Axa my daughter to wife. Josh 15:17 And Othoniel the son of Cenez, the younger brother of Caleb, took it: and he gave him Axa his daughter to wife. Josh 15:18 And as they were going together, she was moved by her husband to ask a field of her father, and she sighed as she sat on her ass. And Caleb said to her: What aileth thee? Josh 15:19 But she answered: Give me a blessing: thou hast given me a southern and dry land, give me also a land that Is watered. And Caleb gave her the upper and the nether watery ground. Josh 15:20 This is the possession of the tribe of the children of Juda by their kindreds. Josh 15:21 And the cities from the uttermost parts of the children of Juda by the borders of Edom to the south, were Cabseel and Eder and Jagur, Josh 15:22 And Cina and Dimona and Adada, Josh 15:23 And Cades and Asor and Jethnam, Josh 15:24 Ziph and Telem and Baloth, Josh 15:25 New Asor and Carioth, Hesron, which is Asor. Josh 15:26 Amam, Sama and Molada, Josh 15:27 And Asergadda and Hassemon and Bethphelet, Josh 15:28 And Hasersual and Bersabee and Baziothia, Josh 15:29 And Baala and Jim and Esem, Josh 15:30 And Eltholad and Cesil and Harma, Josh 15:31 And Siceleg and Medemena and Sensenna, Josh 15:32 Lebaoth and Selim and Aen and Remmon: all the cities twenty-nine, and their villages. Josh 15:33 But in the plains: Estaol and Sarea and Asena, Josh 15:34 And Zanoe and Engannim and Taphua and Enaim, Josh 15:35 And Jerimoth and Adullam, Socho and Azeca, Josh 15:36 And Saraim and Adithaim and Gedera and Gederothaim: fourteen cities, and their villages. Josh 15:37 Sanan and Hadassa and Magdalgad, Josh 15:38 Delean and Masepha and Jecthel, Josh 15:39 Lachis and Bascath and Eglon, Josh 15:40 Chebbon and Leheman and Cethlis, Josh 15:41 And Gideroth and Bethdagon and Naama and Maceda: sixteen cities, and their villages. Josh 15:42 Labana and Ether and Asan, Josh 15:43 Jephtha and Esna and Nesib, Josh 15:44 And Ceila and Achzib and Maresa: nine cities, and their villages. Josh 15:45 Accaron with the towns and villages thereof. Josh 15:46 From Accaron even to the sea: all places that lie towards Azotus and the villages thereof. Josh 15:47 Azotus with its towns and villages. Gaza with its towns and villages, even to the torrent of Egypt, and the great sea that is the border thereof.

Josh 15:48 And in the mountain Samir and Jether and Socoth, Josh 15:49 And Danna and Cariath-senna, this is Dabir: Josh 15:50 Anab and Istemo and Anim, Josh 15:51 Gosen and Olon and Gilo: eleven cities and their villages. Josh 15:52 Arab and Ruma and Esaan, Josh 15:53 And Janum and Beththaphua and Apheca, Josh 15:54 Athmatha and Cariath-Arbe, this is Hebron and Sior: nine cities and their villages. Josh 15:55 Maon and Carmel and Ziph and Jota, Josh 15:56 Jezrael and Jucadam and Zanoe, Josh 15:57 Accain, Gabaa and Thamna: ten cities and their villages. Josh 15:58 Halhul, and Bessur, and Gedor, Josh 15:59 Mareth, and Bethanoth, and Eltecon: six cities and their villages. Josh 15:60 Cariathbaal, the same is Cariathiarim the city of woods, and Arebba: two cities and their villages. Josh 15:61 In the desert Betharaba, Meddin and Sachacha, Josh 15:62 And Nebsan, and the city of salt, and Engaddi: six cities and their villages. Josh 15:63 But the children of Juda could not destroy the Jebusite that dwelt in Jerusalem: and the Jebusite dwelt with the children of Juda in Jerusalem until this present day.

Josh 16:1 And the lot of the sons of Joseph fell from the Jordan over against Jericho and the waters thereof, on the east: the wilderness which goeth up from Jericho to the mountain of Bethel: Josh 16:2 And goeth out from Bethel to Luza: and passeth the border of Archi, to Ataroth, Josh 16:3 And goeth down westward, by the border of Jephleti, unto the borders of Beth-horon the nether, and to Gazer: and the countries of it are ended by the great sea: Josh 16:4 And Manasses and Ephraim the children of Joseph possessed it. Josh 16:5 And the border of the children of Ephraim was according to their kindreds: and their possession towards the east was Ataroth-addar unto Beth-horon the upper. Josh 16:6 And the confines go out unto the sea: but Machmethath looketh to the north, and it goeth round the borders eastward into Thanath-selo: and passeth along on the east side to Janoe. Josh 16:7 And it goeth down from Janoe into Ataroth and Naaratha: and it cometh to Jericho, and goeth out to the Jordan. Josh 16:8 From Taphua it passeth on towards the sea into the valley of reeds, and the goings out thereof are at the most salt sea. This is the possession of the tribe of the children of Ephraim by their families.

Josh 16:9 And there were cities with their villages separated for the children of Ephraim in the midst of the possession of the children of Manasses. Josh 16:10 And the children of Ephraim slew not the Chanaanite, who dwelt in Gazer: and the Chanaanite dwelt in the midst of Ephraim until this day, paying tribute. Josh 17:1 And this lot fell to the tribe of Manasses for he is the firstborn of Joseph to Machir the firstborn of Manasses the father of Galaad, who was a warlike man, and had for possession Galaad and Basan. Josh 17:2 And to the rest of the children of Manasses according to their families: to the children of Abiezer, and to the children of Helec, and to the children of Esriel, and to the children of Sechem, and to the children of Hepher, and to the children of Semida: these are the male children of Manasses the son of Joseph, by their kindreds. Josh 17:3 But Salphaad the son of Hepher the son of Galaad the son of Machir the son of Manasses had no sons, but only daughters: whose names are these, Maala and Noa and Hegla and Melcha and Thersa.

Josh 17:4 And they came in the presence of Eleazar the priest and of Joshua the son of Nun, and of the princes, saying: The Lord commanded by the hand of Moses, that a possession should be given us in the midst of our brethren. And he gave them according to the commandment of the Lord a possession amongst the brethren of their father. Josh 17:5 And there fell ten portions to Manasses, beside the land of Galaad and Basan beyond the Jordan. Josh 17:6 For the daughters of Manasses possessed inheritance in the midst of his sons. And the land of Galaad fell to the lot of the rest of the children of Manasses. Josh 17:7 And the border of Manasses was from Aser, Machmethath which looketh towards Sichem: and it goeth out on the right hand by the inhabitants of the fountain of Taphua. Josh 17:8 For the lot of Manasses took in the land of Taphua, which is on the borders of Manasses, and belongs to the children of Ephraim. Josh 17:9 And the border goeth down to the valley of the reeds, to the south of the torrent of the cities of Ephraim, which are in the midst of the cities of Manasses: the border of Manasses is on the north side of the torrent, and the outgoings of it are at the sea: Josh 17:10 So that the possession of Ephraim is on the south, and on the north that of Manasses, and the sea is the border of both, and they are joined together in the tribe of Aser on the north, and in the tribe of Issachar on the east. Josh 17:11 And the inheritance of Manasses in Issachar and in Aser, was Bethsan and its villages, and Jeblaam with its villages, and the inhabitants of Dor, with the towns thereof: the inhabitants also of Endor with the villages thereof: and in like manner the inhabitants of Thenac with the villages thereof: and the inhabitants of Mageddo with their villages, and the third part of the city of Nopheth. Josh 17:12 Neither could the children of Manasses overthrow these cities, but the Chanaanite began to dwell in his land. Josh 17:13 But after that the children of Israel were grown strong, they subdued the Chanaanites, and made them their tributaries, and they did not kill them. Josh 17:14 And the children of Joseph spoke to Joshua, and said: Why hast thou given me but one lot and one portion to possess, whereas I am of so great a multitude, and the Lord hath blessed me?

Josh 17:15 And Joshua said to them: If thou be a great people, go up into the woodland, and cut down room for thyself in the land of the Pherezite and the Raphaims: because the possession of mount Ephraim is too narrow for thee. Josh 17:16 And the children of Joseph answered him: We cannot go up to the mountains, for the Chanaanites that dwell in the low lands, wherein are situate Bethsan with its towns, and Jezrael in the midst of the valley, have chariots of iron. Josh 17:17 And Joshua said to the house of Joseph, to Ephraim and Manasses: Thou art a great people, and of great strength, thou shalt not have one lot only: Josh 17:18 But thou shalt pass to the mountain, and shalt cut down the wood, and make thyself room to dwell in: and mayst proceed farther, when thou hast destroyed the Chanaanites, who as thou sayest have iron chariots, and are very strong. Josh 18:1 And all the children of Israel assembled together in Silo, and there they set up the tabernacle of the testimony, and the land was subdued before them. Josh 18:2 But there remained seven tribes of the children of Israel, which as yet had not received their possessions.

Josh 18:3 And Joshua said to them: How long are you indolent and slack, and go not in to possess the land which the Lord the God of your fathers hath given you? Josh 18:4 Choose of every tribe three men, that I may send them, and they may go and compass the land, and mark it out according to the number of each multitude: and bring back to me what they have marked out. Josh 18:5 Divide to yourselves the land into seven parts: let Juda be in his bounds on the south side, and the house of Joseph on the north. Josh 18:6 The land in the midst between these mark ye out into seven parts; and you shall come hither to me, that I may cast lots for you before the Lord your God. Josh 18:7 For the Levites have no part among you, but the priesthood of the Lord is their inheritance. And Gad and Ruben, and the half tribe of Manasses have already received their possessions beyond the Jordan eastward: which Moses the servant of the Lord gave them. Josh 18:8 And when the men were risen up, to go to mark out the land, Joshua commanded them saying: Go round the land and mark it out, and return to me: that I may cast lots for you before the Lord in Silo.

Josh 18:9 So they went and surveying it divided it into seven parts, writing them down in a book. And they returned to Joshua, to the camp in Silo. Josh 18:10 And he cast lots before the Lord in Silo, and divided the land to the children of Israel into seven parts. Josh 18:11 And first came up the lot of the children of Benjamin by their families, to possess the land between the children of Juda, and the children of Joseph.
