Joshua 18

1 And the whole congregation of the children of Israel assembled themselves together at Shiloh, and set up the tent of meeting there; and the land was subdued before them.

Congregatique sunt omnes filii Israel in Silo, ibique fixerunt tabernaculum testimonii, et fuit eis Terra subiecta.

2 And there remained among the children of Israel seven tribes, which had not yet received their inheritance.

Remanserant autem filiorum Israel septem tribus, quæ necdum acceperant possessiones suas.

3 And Joshua said unto the children of Israel: 'How long are ye slack to go in to possess the land, which the LORD, the God of your fathers, hath given you?

Ad quos Iosue ait: Usquequo marcetis ignavia, et non intratis ad possidendam Terram, quam Dominus Deus patrum vestrorum dedit vobis?

4 Appoint for you three men for 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 unto me.

Eligite de singulis tribubus ternos viros, ut mittam eos, et pergant atque circumeant Terram, et describant eam iuxta numerum uniuscuiusque multitudinis: referantque ad me quod descripserint.

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.

Dividite vobis Terram in septem partes: Iudas sit in terminis suis ab australi plaga, et domus Ioseph ab Aquilone.

6 And ye shall describe the land into seven portions, and bring the description hither to me; and I will cast lots for you here before the LORD our God.

Mediam inter hos Terram in septem partes describite: et huc venietis ad me, ut coram Domino Deo vestro mittam vobis hic sortem:

7 For the Levites have no portion among you, for the priesthood of the LORD 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 the LORD gave them.'

quia non est inter vos pars Levitarum, sed sacerdotium Domini est eorum hereditas. Gad autem et Ruben, et dimidia tribus Manasse iam acceperant possessiones suas trans Iordanem ad Orientalem plagam: quas dedit eis Moyses famulus Domini.

8 And the men arose, and went; and Joshua charged them that went to describe the land, saying: 'Go and walk through the land, and describe it, and come back to me, and I will cast lots for you here before the LORD in Shiloh.'

Cumque surrexissent viri, ut pergerent ad describendam terram, præcepit eis Iosue, dicens: Circuite Terram, et describite eam, ac revertimini ad me: ut hic coram Domino, in Silo, mittam vobis sortem.

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 unto the camp at Shiloh.

Itaque perrexerunt: et lustrantes eam, in septem partes diviserunt, scribentes in volumine. Reversique sunt ad Iosue in castra Silo.

10 And Joshua cast lots for them in Shiloh before the LORD; and there Joshua divided the land unto the children of Israel according to their divisions.

Qui misit sortes coram Domino in Silo, divisitque Terram filiis Israel in septem partes.

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

Et ascendit sors prima filiorum Beniamin per familias suas, ut possiderent Terram inter filios Iuda et filios Ioseph.

12 And their border on the north side 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 thereof were at the wilderness of Beth-aven.

Fuitque terminus eorum contra Aquilonem a Iordane: pergens iuxta latus Iericho septentrionalis plagæ, et inde contra Occidentem ad montana conscendens, et perveniens ad solitudinem Bethaven,

13 And the border passed along from thence to Luz, to the side of Luz — the same is Beth-el — southward; and the border went down to Atroth-addar, by the mountain that lieth on the south of Beth-horon the nether.

atque pertransiens iuxta Luzam ad Meridiem, ipsa est Bethel: descenditque in Ataroth addar in montem, qui est ad Meridiem Beth horon inferioris:

14 And the border was drawn and turned about on the west side southward, from the mountain that lieth before Beth-horon southward; and the goings out thereof were at Kiriath-baal — the same is Kiriath-jearim — a city of the children of Judah; this was the west side.

Et inclinatur circuiens contra mare ad Meridiem montis qui respicit Beth horon contra Africum: suntque exitus eius in Cariath baal, quæ vocatur et Cariathiarim, urbem filiorum Iuda. Hæc est plaga contra mare, ad Occidentem.

15 And the south side 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.

A Meridie autem ex parte Cariathiarim egreditur terminus contra mare, et pervenit usque ad fontem aquarum Nephtoa.

16 And the border went down to the uttermost part of the mountain that lieth 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.

Descenditque in partem montis, qui respicit Vallem filiorum Ennom: et est contra septentrionalem plagam in extrema parte Vallis Raphaim. Descenditque in Geennom (id est, Vallem Ennom) iuxta latus Iebusæi ad Austrum: et pervenit ad Fontem Rogel,

17 And it was drawn on the north, and went out at En-shemesh, and went out to Geliloth, which is over against the ascent of Adummim; and it went down to the Stone of Bohan the son of Reuben.

transiens ad Aquilonem, et egrediens ad Ensemes, id est, Fontem Solis:

18 And it passed along to the side over against the Arabah northward, and went down unto the Arabah.

et pertransit usque ad tumulos, qui sunt e regione Ascensus Adommim: descenditque ad Abenboen, id est, lapidem Boen filii Ruben: et pertransit ex latere Aquilonis ad campestria: descenditque in planitiem,

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.

et prætergreditur contra Aquilonem Beth hagla: suntque exitus eius contra linguam maris salsissimi ab Aquilone in fine Iordanis ad australem plagam:

20 And the Jordan was to be the border of it on the east side. This was the inheritance of the children of Benjamin, by the borders thereof round about, according to their families.

qui est terminus illius ab Oriente. Hæc est possessio filiorum Beniamin per terminos suos in circuitu, et familias suas.

21 Now the cities of the tribe of the children of Benjamin according to their families were Jericho, and Beth-hoglah, and Emek-keziz;

Fueruntque civitates eius, Iericho et Beth hagla et Vallis Casis,

22 and Beth-arabah, and Zemaraim, and Beth-el;

Beth Araba et Samaraim et Bethel,

23 and Avvim, and Parah, and Ophrah;

et Avim et Aphara et Ophera,

24 and Chephar-ammonah, and Ophni, and Geba; twelve cities with their villages:

villa Emona et Ophni et Gabee: civitates duodecim, et villæ earum.

25 Gibeon, and Ramah, and Beeroth;

Gabaon et Rama et Beroth,

26 and Mizpeh, and Chephirah, and Mozah;

et Mesphe et Caphara et Amosa,

27 and Rekem, and Irpeel, and Taralah;

et Recem, Iarephel, et Tharela,

28 and Zela, Eleph, and the Jebusite — the same is Jerusalem, Gibeath, and Kiriath; fourteen cities with their villages. This is the inheritance of the children of Benjamin according to their families.

et Sela, Eleph, et Iebus, quæ est Ierusalem, Gabaath et Cariath: civitates quattuordecim, et villæ earum. Hæc est possessio filiorum Beniamin iuxta familias suas.
