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 children of Israel assembled together at Shiloh, and set up the tabernacle of the congregation 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 there remained among the children of Israel seven tribes, which had not yet received 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 unto the children of Israel, How long [are] ye slack to go to possess the land, which YHWH Elohim of your fathers hath 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.
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.
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 parts: Judah shall abide in their coast on the south, and the house of Joseph shall abide in their coasts 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.
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 YHWH our Elohim.
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.
But the Levites have no part among you; for the priesthood of YHWH [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 YHWH 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 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 YHWH 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 parts in a book, and came [again] to Joshua to the host 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 YHWH: and there Joshua divided the land unto the children 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 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.
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 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 Bethaven.
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 went over from thence toward Luz, to the side of Luz, which [is] Bethel, southward; and the border descended to Atarothadar, near the hill that [lieth] on the south side of the nether Bethhoron.
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 was drawn [thence], and compassed the corner of the sea southward, from the hill that [lieth] before Bethhoron southward; and the goings out thereof were at Kirjathbaal, which [is] Kirjathjearim, a city of the children 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 end of Kirjathjearim, and the border went out on the west, and went out to the well of 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 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 Enrogel,
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 was drawn from the north, and went forth to Enshemesh, 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,
18 Og det gaar om til Siden tværs over for Araba, mod Norden; og det gaar ned til Araba.
And passed along toward the side over against Arabah northward, and went down unto Arabah: (Arabah: or, the plain)
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 Bethhoglah 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. (bay: Heb. tongue)
20 Men Jordanen sætter Grænse derfor mod den østre Side; dette er Benjamins Børns Arv i deres Landemærker rundt omkring efter deres Slægter.
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.
21 Og Benjamins Børns Stammes Stæder efter deres Slægter, vare: Jeriko og Beth-Hogla og Emek-Keziz
Now the cities of the tribe of the children of Benjamin according to their families were Jericho, and Bethhoglah, and the valley of Keziz,
