Iosue 18
1 Congregatique sunt omnes filii Israel in Silo, ibique fixerunt tabernaculum testimonii, et fuit eis Terra subiecta.
And the whole Congregation of the children of Israel, came together at Shiloh: for they set vp the Tabernacle of the Congregation there, after the land was subiect vnto them.
2 Remanserunt autem filiorum Israel septem tribus, quae necdum acceperant possessiones suas.
Nowe there remained among the children of Israel seuen tribes, to whom they had not deuided their inheritance.
3 Ad quos Iosue ait: Usquequo marcetis ignavia, et non intratis ad possidendam Terram, quam Dominus Deus patrum vestrorum dedit vobis?
Therefore Ioshua said vnto the children of Israel, Howe long are ye so slacke to enter and possesse the land which the Lord God of your fathers hath giuen you?
4 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.
Giue from among you for euery tribe three men, that I may sende them, and that they may rise, and walke through the land, and distribute it according to their inheritance, and returne to me.
5 Dividite vobis Terram in septem partes: Iudas sit in terminis suis ab australi plaga, et domus Ioseph ab Aquilone.
And that they may deuide it vnto them into seuen parts, (Iudah shall abide in his coast at the South, and the house of Ioseph shall stand in their coastes at the North)
6 mediam inter hos Terram in septem partes describite: et huc venietis ad me, ut coram Domino Deo vestro mittam vobis hic sortem:
Ye shall describe the land therefore into seuen partes, and shall bring them hither to me, and I will cast lottes for you here before the Lord our God.
7 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.
But the Leuites shall haue no part among you: for the Priesthood of the Lord is their inheritance: also Gad and Reuben and halfe the tribe of Manasseh haue receiued their inheritance beyond Iorden Eastward, which Moses the seruant of the Lord gaue them.
8 Cumque surrexissent viri, ut pergerent ad describendam terram, praecepit eis Iosue, dicens: Circuite Terram, et describite eam, ac revertimini ad me: ut hic coram Domino, in Silo, mittam vobis sortem.
Then the men arose, and went their way: and Ioshua charged them that went to describe the land, saying, Depart, and goe through the land, and describe it, and returne to me, that I may here cast lottes for you before the Lord in Shiloh.
9 Itaque perrexerunt: et lustrantes eam, in septem partes diviserunt, scribentes in volumine. Reversique sunt ad Iosue in castra Silo.
So the men departed, and passed through the lande, and described it by cities into seuen partes in a booke, and returned to Ioshua into the campe at Shiloh.
10 Qui misit sortes coram Domino in Silo, divisitque Terram filiis Israel in septem partes.
Then Ioshua cast lottes for them in Shiloh before the Lord, and there Ioshua deuided the land vnto the children of Israel, according to their portions:
11 Et ascendit sors prima filiorum Beniamin per familias suas, ut possiderent Terram inter filios Iuda et filios Ioseph.
And the lot of the tribe of the children of Beniamin came foorth according to their families, and the cost of their lot lay betweene the children of Iudah, and the children of Ioseph.
12 Fuitque terminus eorum contra Aquilonem a Iordane: pergens iuxta latus Iericho septentrionalis plagae, et inde contra Occidentem ad montana conscendens, et perveniens ad solitudinem Bethaven,
And their coast on the Northside was from Iorden, and the border went vp to the side of Iericho on the Northpart, and went vp through the mountaines Westward, and the endes thereof are in the wildernesse of Beth-auen:
13 atque pertransiens iuxta Luzam ad Meridiem, ipsa est Bethel: descenditque in Ataroth addar in montem, qui est ad Meridiem Beth horon inferioris:
And this border goeth along from thence to Luz, euen to the Southside of Luz (the same is Beth-el) and this border descendeth to Atroth-addar, neere the mount, that lyeth on the Southside of Beth-horon the nether.
14 Et inclinatur circuiens contra mare ad Meridiem montis qui respicit Beth horon contra Africum: suntque exitus eius in Cariath baal, quae vocatur et Cariathiarim, urbem filiorum Iuda. haec est plaga contra mare, ad Occidentem.
So the border turneth, and compasseth the corner of the Sea Southward, from the mount that lyeth before Beth-horon Southward: and the endes thereof are at Kiriath-baal (which is Kiriath-iearim) a citie of the children of Iudah: this is the Westquarter.
15 A Meridie autem ex parte Cariathiarim egreditur terminus contra mare, et pervenit usque ad fontem aquarum Nephtoa.
And the Southquarter is from the ende of Kiriath-iearim, and this border goeth out Westward, and commeth to the fountaine of waters of Nephtoah.
16 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 Iebusaei ad Austrum: et pervenit ad Fontem rogel,
And this border descendeth at the ende of the mountaine, that lyeth before the valley of Ben-hinnom, which is in the valley of the gyants Northward, and descendeth into the valley of Hinnom by the side of Iebusi Southwarde, and goeth downe to En-rogel,
17 transiens ad Aquilonem, et egrediens ad Ensemes, id est fontem solis:
And compasseth from the North, and goeth foorth to En-shemesh, and stretcheth to Geliloth, which is toward the going vp vnto Adummim, and goeth downe to the stone of Bohan the sonne of Reuben.
18 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,
So it goeth along to the side ouer against the plaine Northward, and goeth downe into the plaine.
19 et praetergreditur contra Aquilonem Beth hagla: suntque exitus eius contra linguam maris salsissimi ab Aquilone in fine Iordanis ad australem plagam:
After, this border goeth along to the side of Beth-hoglah Northward: and the endes thereof, that is, of the border, reach to the point of the salt Sea Northward, and to the ende of Iorden Southward: this is the Southcoast.
20 qui est terminus illius ab Oriente. haec est possessio filiorum Beniamin per terminos suos in circuitu, et familias suas.
Also Iorden is the border of it on the Eastside: this is the inheritance of the children of Beniamin by the coastes thereof rounde about according to their families.
21 Fueruntque civitates eius, Iericho et Beth hagla et Vallis Casis,
Nowe the cities of the tribe of the children of Beniamin according to their families, are Iericho, and Beth-hoglah, and the valley of Keziz,
