يَشُوع 18

١ 1 وَٱجْتَمَعَ كُلُّ جَمَاعَةِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي شِيلُوهَ وَنَصَبُوا هُنَاكَ خَيْمَةَ ٱلِٱجْتِمَاعِ، وَأُخْضِعَتِ ٱلْأَرْضُ قُدَّامَهُمْ.

The whole congregation of the children of Israel assembled themselves together at Shiloh, and set up the Tent of Meeting there. The land was subdued before them.

٢ 2 وَبَقِيَ مِنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ مِمَّنْ لَمْ يَقْسِمُوا نَصِيبَهُمْ، سَبْعَةُ أَسْبَاطٍ.

Seven tribes remained among the children of Israel, which had not yet divided their inheritance.

٣ 3 فَقَالَ يَشُوعُ لِبَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ: «حَتَّى مَتَى أَنْتُمْ مُتَرَاخُونَ عَنِ ٱلدُّخُولِ لِٱمْتِلَاكِ ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱلَّتِي أَعْطَاكُمْ إِيَّاهَا ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُ آبَائِكُمْ؟

Joshua said to the children of Israel, “How long will you neglect to go in to possess the land, which the LORD, the God of your fathers, has given you?

٤ 4 هَاتُوا ثَلَاثَةَ رِجَالٍ مِنْ كُلِّ سِبْطٍ فَأُرْسِلَهُمْ فَيَقُومُوا وَيَسِيرُوا فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ وَيَكْتُبُوهَا بِحَسَبِ أَنْصِبَتِهِمْ، ثُمَّ يَأْتُوا إِلَيَّ.

Appoint for yourselves three men from each tribe. I will send them, and they shall arise, walk through the land, and describe it according to their inheritance; then they shall come to me.

٥ 5 وَلْيَقْسِمُوهَا إِلَى سَبْعَةِ أَقْسَامٍ، فَيُقِيمُ يَهُوذَا عَلَى تُخْمِهِ مِنَ ٱلْجَنُوبِ، وَيُقِيمُ بَيْتُ يُوسُفَ عَلَى تُخْمِهِمْ مِنَ ٱلشِّمَالِ.

They shall divide it into seven portions. Judah shall live in his borders on the south, and the house of Joseph shall live in their borders on the north.

٦ 6 وَأَنْتُمْ تَكْتُبُونَ ٱلْأَرْضَ سَبْعَةَ أَقْسَامٍ، ثُمَّ تَأْتُونَ إِلَيَّ هُنَا فَأُلْقِي لَكُمْ قُرْعَةً هَهُنَا أَمَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِنَا.

You shall survey the land into seven parts, and bring the description here to me; and I will cast lots for you here before the LORD our God.

٧ 7 لِأَنَّهُ لَيْسَ لِلَّاوِيِّينَ قِسْمٌ فِي وَسَطِكُمْ، لِأَنَّ كَهَنُوتَ ٱلرَّبِّ هُوَ نَصِيبُهُمْ. وَجَادُ وَرَأُوبَيْنُ وَنِصْفُ سِبْطِ مَنَسَّى قَدْ أَخَذُوا نَصِيبَهُمْ فِي عَبْرِ ٱلْأُرْدُنِّ نَحْوَ ٱلشُّرُوقِ، ٱلَّذِي أَعْطَاهُمْ إِيَّاهُ مُوسَى عَبْدُ ٱلرَّبِّ».

However, the Levites have no portion among you; for the priesthood of the LORD is their inheritance. Gad, Reuben, and the half-tribe of Manasseh have received their inheritance east of the Jordan, which Moses the servant of the LORD gave them.”

٨ 8 فَقَامَ ٱلرِّجَالُ وَذَهَبُوا. وَأَوْصَى يَشُوعُ ٱلذَّاهِبِينَ لِكِتَابَةِ ٱلْأَرْضِ قَائِلًا: «اِذْهَبُوا وَسِيرُوا فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ وَٱكْتُبُوهَا، ثُمَّ ٱرْجِعُوا إِلَيَّ فَأُلْقِي لَكُمْ هُنَا قُرْعَةً أَمَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ فِي شِيلُوهَ».

The men arose and went. Joshua commanded those who went to survey the land, saying, “Go walk through the land, survey it, and come again to me. I will cast lots for you here before the LORD in Shiloh.”

٩ 9 فَسَارَ ٱلرِّجَالُ وَعَبَرُوا فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ وَكَتَبُوهَا حَسَبَ ٱلْمُدُنِ سَبْعَةَ أَقْسَامٍ فِي سِفْرٍ، ثُمَّ جَاءُوا إِلَى يَشُوعَ إِلَى ٱلْمَحَلَّةِ فِي شِيلُوهَ.

The men went and passed through the land, and surveyed it by cities into seven portions in a book. They came to Joshua to the camp at Shiloh.

١٠ 10 فَأَلْقَى لَهُمْ يَشُوعُ قُرْعَةً فِي شِيلُوهَ أَمَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ، وَهُنَاكَ قَسَمَ يَشُوعُ ٱلْأَرْضَ لِبَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ حَسَبَ فِرَقِهِمْ.

Joshua cast lots for them in Shiloh before the LORD. There Joshua divided the land to the children of Israel according to their divisions.

١١ 11 وَطَلَعَتْ قُرْعَةُ سِبْطِ بَنِي بَنْيَامِينَ حَسَبَ عَشَائِرِهِمْ، وَخَرَجَ تُخْمُ قُرْعَتِهِمْ بَيْنَ بَنِي يَهُوذَا وَبَنِي يُوسُفَ:

The lot of the tribe of the children of Benjamin came up according to their families. The border of their lot went out between the children of Judah and the children of Joseph.

١٢ 12 وَكَانَ تُخْمُهُمْ مِنْ جِهَةِ ٱلشِّمَالِ مِنَ ٱلْأُرْدُنِّ. وَصَعِدَ ٱلتُّخْمُ إِلَى جَانِبِ أَرِيحَا مِنَ ٱلشِّمَالِ وَصَعِدَ فِي ٱلْجَبَلِ غَرْبًا، وَكَانَتْ مَخَارِجُهُ عْنْدَ بَرِّيَّةِ بَيْتِ آوِنَ.

Their border on the north quarter was from the Jordan. The border went up to the side of Jericho on the north, and went up through the hill country westward. It ended at the wilderness of Beth Aven.

١٣ 13 وَعَبَرَ ٱلتُّخْمُ مِنْ هُنَاكَ إِلَى لُوزَ، إِلَى جَانِبِ لُوزَ ٱلْجَنُوبِيِّ، هِيَ بَيْتُ إِيلَ، وَنَزَلَ ٱلتُّخْمُ إِلَى عَطَارُوتِ إِدَّارَ عَلَى ٱلْجَبَلِ ٱلَّذِي إِلَى جَنُوبِ بَيْتِ حُورُونَ ٱلسُّفْلَى.

The border passed along from there to Luz, to the side of Luz (also called Bethel), southward. The border went down to Ataroth Addar, by the mountain that lies on the south of Beth Horon the lower.

١٤ 14 وَٱمْتَدَّ ٱلتُّخْمُ وَدَارَ إِلَى جِهَةِ ٱلْغَرْبِ جَنُوبًا مِنَ ٱلْجَبَلِ ٱلَّذِي مُقَابِلَ بَيْتِ حُورُونَ جَنُوبًا. وَكَانَتْ مَخَارِجُهُ عِنْدَ قَرْيَةِ بَعْلٍ، هِيَ قَرْيَةُ يَعَارِيمَ. مَدِينَةٌ لِبَنِي يَهُوذَا. هَذِهِ هِيَ جِهَةُ ٱلْغَرْبِ.

The border extended, and turned around on the west quarter southward, from the mountain that lies before Beth Horon southward; and ended at Kiriath Baal (also called Kiriath Jearim), a city of the children of Judah. This was the west quarter.

١٥ 15 وَجِهَةُ ٱلْجَنُوبِ هِيَ أَقْصَى قَرْيَةِ يَعَارِيمَ. وَخَرَجَ ٱلتُّخْمُ غَرْبًا وَخَرَجَ إِلَى مَنْبَعِ مِيَاهِ نَفْتُوحَ.

The south quarter was from the farthest part of Kiriath Jearim. The border went out westward, and went out to the spring of the waters of Nephtoah.

١٦ 16 وَنَزَلَ ٱلتُّخْمُ إِلَى طَرَفِ ٱلْجَبَلِ ٱلَّذِي مُقَابِلَ وَادِي ٱبْنِ هِنُّومَ ٱلَّذِي فِي وَادِي ٱلرَّفَائِيِّينَ شِمَالًا، وَنَزَلَ إِلَى وَادِي هِنُّومَ إِلَى جَانِبِ ٱلْيَبُوسِيِّينَ مِنَ ٱلْجَنُوبِ، وَنَزَلَ إِلَى عَيْنِ رُوجَلَ.

The border went down to the farthest part of the mountain that lies before the valley of the son of Hinnom, which is in the valley of Rephaim northward. It went down to the valley of Hinnom, to the side of the Jebusite southward, and went down to En Rogel.

١٧ 17 وَٱمْتَدَّ مِنَ ٱلشِّمَالِ وَخَرَجَ إِلَى عَيْنِ شَمْسٍ، وَخَرَجَ إِلَى جَلِيلُوتَ ٱلَّتِي مُقَابِلَ عَقَبَةِ أَدُمِّيمَ، وَنَزَلَ إِلَى حَجَرِ بُوهَنَ بْنِ رَأُوبَيْنَ.

It extended northward, went out at En Shemesh, and went out to Geliloth, which is opposite the ascent of Adummim. It went down to the stone of Bohan the son of Reuben.

١٨ 18 وَعَبَرَ إِلَى ٱلْكَتِفِ مُقَابِلَ ٱلْعَرَبَةِ شِمَالًا، وَنَزَلَ إِلَى ٱلْعَرَبَةِ.

It passed along to the side opposite the Arabah northward, and went down to the Arabah.

١٩ 19 وَعَبَرَ ٱلتُّخْمُ إِلَى جَانِبِ بَيْتِ حُجْلَةَ شِمَالًا. وَكَانَتْ مَخَارِجُ ٱلتُّخْمِ عِنْدَ لِسَانِ بَحْرِ ٱلْمِلْحِ شِمَالًا إِلَى طَرَفِ ٱلْأُرْدُنِّ جَنُوبًا. هَذَا هُوَ تُخْمُ ٱلْجَنُوبِ.

The border passed along to the side of Beth Hoglah northward; and the border ended at the north bay of the Salt Sea, at the south end of the Jordan. This was the south border.

٢٠ 20 وَٱلْأُرْدُنُّ يَتْخُمُهُ مِنْ جِهَةِ ٱلشَّرْقِ. فَهَذَا هُوَ نَصِيبُ بَنِي بَنْيَامِينَ مَعَ تُخُومِهِ مُسْتَدِيرًا حَسَبَ عَشَائِرِهِمْ.

The Jordan was its border on the east quarter. This was the inheritance of the children of Benjamin, by the borders around it, according to their families.

٢١ 21 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, Beth Hoglah, Emek Keziz,
