Josua 18
1 Og al Israels Børns Menighed samledes i Silo og satte der Forsamlingens Paulun, og Landet var dem underlagt.
And the whole congregation of the sons of Israel assembled themselves together at Shiloh, and set up the tent of meeting there, and the land was subdued before them.
2 Og der var endnu syv Stammer tilovers af Israels Børn, som ikke havde delt deres Arv.
And seven tribes remained among the sons of Israel, which had not yet divided their inheritance.
3 Og Josva sagde til Israels Børn: Hvor længe ere I saa efterladne med at komme til at eje Landet, som Herren, eders Fædres Gud, har givet eder?
And Joshua said to the sons of Israel, How long are ye slack to go in to possess the land, which Jehovah, the God of your fathers, has given you?
4 Vælger eder tre Mænd for hver Stamme, saa vil jeg udsende dem, at de kunne gøre sig rede og gaa igennem Landet og beskrive det for at kunne bestemme deres Arv, og de skulle komme til mig igen.
Appoint for you three men of each tribe. And I will send them, and they shall arise, and walk through the land, and describe it according to their inheritance, and they shall come to me.
5 Og de skulle dele det i syv Dele; Juda skal blive i sit Landemærke mod Sønden; og Josefs Hus, de skulle blive i deres Landemærke mod Norden.
And they shall divide it into seven portions: Judah shall abide in his border on the south, and the house of Joseph shall abide in their border on the north.
6 Men I skulle beskrive Landet og dele det i syv Dele og føre Beskrivelsen herhid til mig; saa vil jeg her kaste Lod for eder, for Herrens vor Guds Ansigt.
And ye shall describe the land into seven portions, and bring it here to me. And I will cast lots for you here before Jehovah our God.
7 Thi Leviterne have ingen Del midt iblandt eder, men Herrens Præstedømme er deres Arv; og Gad og Ruben og den halve Manasse Stamme have taget deres Arv paa hin Side Jordanen mod Østen, som Mose, Herrens Tjener, gav dem.
For the Levites have no portion among you, for the priesthood of Jehovah is their inheritance, and Gad and Reuben and the half-tribe of Manasseh have received their inheritance beyond the Jordan eastward, which Moses the servant of Jehovah gave them.
8 Da gjorde Mændene sig rede og gik; og Josva befalede dem, som gik hen at beskrive Landet, og sagde: Gaar og vandrer om i Landet og beskriver det og kommer tilbage til mig, saa vil jeg her kaste Lod for eder, for Herrens Ansigt, i Silo.
And the men arose, and went. And Joshua charged those who went to describe the land, saying, Go and walk through the land, and describe it, and come again to me. And I will cast lots for you here before Jehovah in Shiloh.
9 Saa gik Mændene hen og gik igennem Landet og beskreve det i en Bog efter Stæderne og delte det i syv Dele; og de kom tilbage til Josva til Lejren i Silo.
And the men went and passed through the land, and described it by cities into seven portions in a book. And they came to Joshua to the camp at Shiloh.
10 Saa kastede Josva Lod for dem i Silo, for Herrens Ansigt; og Josva delte der Landet for Israels Børn, efter deres Afdelinger.
And Joshua cast lots for them in Shiloh before Jehovah. And there Joshua divided the land to the sons of Israel according to their divisions.
11 Og Benjamins Børns Stammes Lod kom ud efter deres Slægter, og Landemærket for deres Lod gik ud imellem Judas Børn og imellem Josefs Børn.
And the lot of the tribe of the sons of Benjamin came up according to their families, and the border of their lot went out between the sons of Judah and the sons of Joseph.
12 Og deres Landemærke paa den nordre Side var fra Jordanen; Landemærket gaar op til Nordsiden af Jeriko og gaar op til Bjerget imod Vesten, og Udgangene derpaa vare mod Ørken ved Beth-Aven.
And their border on the north quarter was from the Jordan, and the border went up to the side of Jericho on the north, and went up through the hill-country westward. And the goings out of it were at the wilderness of Beth-aven.
13 Og Landemærket gaar derfra over til Lus, til den søndre Side af Lus, det er Bethel; og Landemærket gaar ned til Atharoth-Addar over Bjerget, som ligger Sønden for det nedre Beth-Horon.
And the border passed along from there to Luz, to the side of Luz (the same is Bethel), southward, and the border went down to Ataroth-addar, by the mountain that lies on the south of Beth-horon the nether.
14 Og Landemærket gaar videre og bøjer sig om den venstre Side mod Sønden, fra Bjerget, som ligger tværs over for Beth-Horon mod Sønden, og Udgangen derpaa er til Kirjath-Baal, det er Kirjath-Jearim, Judas Børns Stad; dette er den vestre Side.
And the border extended, and turned around on the west quarter southward, from the mountain that lies before Beth-horon southward. And the goings out of it were at Kiriath-baal (the same is Kiriath-jearim), a city of the sons of Judah. This was the west quarter.
15 Men Sydsiden er fra det yderste af Kirjath-Jearim; og Landemærket gaar ud fra Vesten, og det gaar ud til Nefthoas Vandkilde.
And the south quarter was from the uttermost part of Kiriath-jearim, and the border went out westward, and went out to the fountain of the waters of Nephtoah,
16 Og Landemærket gaar ned til Enden af Bjerget, som ligger tværs over for Hinnoms Søns Dal, og som er i Refaims Dal mod Norden; og det gaar ned til Hinnoms Dal, mod den søndre Side af Jebus, og gaar ned til En-Rogel.
and the border went down to the uttermost part of the mountain that lies before the valley of the son of Hinnom, which is in the vale of Rephaim northward, and it went down to the valley of Hinnom, to the side of the Jebusite southward, and went down to En-rogel,
17 Og det bøjer sig fra Norden og gaar ud til En-Semes og gaar ud til Geliloth, som ligger tværs over for Opgangen til Adummim, og gaar ned til Bohans, Rubens Søns, Sten.
and it extended northward, and went out at En-shemesh, and went out to Geliloth, which is opposite the ascent of Adummim, and it went down to the stone of Bohan the son of Reuben,
18 Og det gaar om til Siden tværs over for Araba, mod Norden; og det gaar ned til Araba.
and it passed along to the side opposite the Arabah northward, and went down to the Arabah,
19 Og Landemærket gaar om til Nordsiden af Beth-Hogla, og Landemærkets Udgang er ved den nordlige Odde af Salthavet, ved Jordanens Udløb mod Sønden; dette er det søndre Landemærke.
and the border passed along to the side of Beth-hoglah northward. And the goings out of the border were at the north bay of the Salt Sea, at the south end of the Jordan. This was the south border.
20 Men Jordanen sætter Grænse derfor mod den østre Side; dette er Benjamins Børns Arv i deres Landemærker rundt omkring efter deres Slægter.
And the Jordan was the border of it on the east quarter. This was the inheritance of the sons of Benjamin, by the borders of it round about, according to their families.
21 Og Benjamins Børns Stammes Stæder efter deres Slægter, vare: Jeriko og Beth-Hogla og Emek-Keziz
