Joshua 18
1 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.
Hele Israeliternes Menighed kom sammen i Silo, og de rejste Aabenbaringsteltet der, da de nu havde underlagt sig Landet.
2 And seven tribes remained among the sons of Israel, which had not yet divided their inheritance.
Men der var endnu syv Stammer tilbage af Israeliterne, som ikke havde faaet deres Arvelod tildelt.
3 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?
Josua sagde derfor til Israeliterne: »Hvor længe vil I endnu nøle med at drage hen og tage det Land i Besiddelse, som HERREN, eders Fædres Gud, har givet eder?
4 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.
Udse eder tre Mænd af hver Stamme, som jeg kan udsende; de skal gøre sig rede og drage Landet rundt og affatte en Beskrivelse derover til Brug ved Fastsættelsen af deres Arvelod og saa komme tilbage til mig.
5 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.
De skal dele det i syv Dele; Juda skal beholde sit Omraade mod Syd og Josefs Slægt sit mod Nord.
6 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.
Og I skal saa affatte en Beskrivelse over Landet, delt i syv Dele, og bringe mig den; saa vil jeg kaste Lod for eder her for HERREN vor Guds Aasyn.
7 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.
Thi Leviterne faar ingen Del iblandt eder, da HERRENS Præstedømme er deres Arvelod; og Gad, Ruben og Manasses halve Stamme har paa Jordans Østside faaet deres Arvelod, som HERRENS Tjener Moses gav dem!«
8 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.
Da begav Mændene sig paa Vej; og Josua bød de bortdragende affatte en Beskrivelse over Landet, idet han sagde: »Drag Landet rundt, affat en Beskrivelse over det og kom saa tilbage til mig; saa vil jeg kaste Lod for eder her for HERRENS Aasyn i Silo!«
9 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.
Saa begav, Mændene sig paa Vej og drog igennem Landet og affattede en Beskrivelse derover, By for By, i syv Dele; og derpaa kom de tilbage til Josua i Lejren ved Silo.
10 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.
Men Josua kastede Lod for dem i Silo for HERRENS Aasyn og udskiftede der Landet til Israeliterne, Afdeling, for Afdeling.
11 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.
Da faldt Loddet for Benjaminiternes Stamme efter deres Slægter; og det Omraade, der blev deres Lod, kom til at ligge mellem Judas og Josefs Sønner.
12 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.
Deres Nordgrænse begynder ved Jordan, og Grænsen strækker sig op til Bjergryggen norden for Jeriko og mod Vest op i Bjerglandet, saa den ender i Bet-Avens Ørken;
13 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.
derfra gaar Grænsen videre til Luz, til Bjergryggen sønden for Luz, det er Betel, og strækker sig ned til Atarot-Addar over Bjerget sønden for Nedre-Bet-Horon.
14 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.
Derpaa bøjer Grænsen om og løber som Vestgrænse sydpaa fra Bjerget lige sønden for Bet-Horon og ender ved Kirjat-Ba'al, det er den judæiske By Kirjat-Jearim; det er Vestgrænsen.
15 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,
Sydgrænsen begynder ved Udkanten af Kirjat-Ba'al, og Grænsen gaar til Neftoas Vandkilde;
16 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,
derpaa strækker den sig ned til Randen af Bjerget lige over for Hinnoms Søns Dal norden for Refaimdalen og videre til Hinnoms Dal sønden om Jebusiternes Bjergryg og til Rogelkilden;
17 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,
saa drejer den nordpaa og fortsætter til Sjemesjkilden og videre til Gelilot lige over for Adummimpasset, derpaa ned til Rubens Søn Bohans Sten
18 and it passed along to the side opposite the Arabah northward, and went down to the Arabah,
og gaar saa videre til Bjergryggen norden for Bet-Araba og ned i Arabalavningen;
19 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.
saa gaar den videre til Bjergryggen norden for Bet-Hogla og ender norden for Salthavets Bugt ved Jordans Udløb; det er Sydgrænsen.
20 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.
Mod Øst danner Jordan Grænse. Det er Benjaminiternes Arvelod med dens Grænser efter deres Slægter.
21 Now the cities of the tribe of the sons of Benjamin according to their families were: Jericho, and Beth-hoglah, and Emek-keziz,
Og Benjaminiternes Stammes Byer efter deres Slægter er følgende: Jeriko, Bet-Hogla, Emek-Keziz,
