¹And the whole congregation of the people of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] assembled together at Shiloh [Place of Rest] , and set up the tabernacle of the congregation there. And the land was subdued before them.

²And there remained among the people of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] seven tribes, which had not yet received their inheritance.

³And Y’hoshua [Yehovah is Salvation] said unto the people of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] , How long [are] you2f slack to go to possess the land, which the Yehovah Elohe Avotekhem [The Lord God of your Fathers] has given you?

⁴Give 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.

⁵And they shall divide it into seven parts: Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised] shall abide in their coast on the south, and the house of Yosef [(God) He Shall Add] shall abide in their coasts on the north.

⁶You2f shall therefore describe the land [into] seven parts, and bring [the description] here to me, that I may cast lots for you here before the Lord -Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) our God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] .

⁷But the Levi’im (Levites) [Joined to] have no part among you; for the priesthood of the Lord -Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) [is] their inheritance: and Gad [Good Fortune with Troublesome Effort] , and Re’uven [Behold a Son] , and half the tribe of M’nasheh [Causing to Forget] , have received their inheritance beyond Yarden [Descender] on the east, which Moshe [He Who Draws Out Of The Waters] the servant of the Lord -Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) gave them.

⁸And the men arose, and went away: and Y’hoshua [Yehovah is Salvation] 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 the Lord -Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) in Shiloh [Place of Rest] .

⁹And the men went and passed through the land, and described it by cities into seven parts in a book, and came [again] to Y’hoshua [Yehovah is Salvation] to the host at Shiloh [Place of Rest] .

¹⁰And Y’hoshua [Yehovah is Salvation] cast lots for them in Shiloh [Place of Rest] before the Lord -Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) : and there Y’hoshua [Yehovah is Salvation] divided the land unto the people of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] according to their divisions.

¹¹And the lot of the tribe of the children of Binyamin [Son of the Right Hand/Strength] came up according to their families: and the coast of their lot came forth between the children of Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised] and the children of Yosef [(God) He Shall Add] .

¹²And their border on the north side was from Yarden [Descender] ; and the border went up to the side of Yericho [Its Moon] on the north side, and went up through the mountains westward; and the goings out thereof were at the wilderness of Beit-On [vanity] [house of vanity] .

¹³And the border went over from there toward Luz [Almond Tree] , to the side of Luz [Almond Tree] , which [is] Beit-El [House of God] , southward; and the border descended to ‘Atrot-Adar [crowns of glory] , near the hill that [lies] on the south side of the lower Beit-Horon [House of Hollowness] .

¹⁴And the border was drawn [there] , and compassed the corner of the sea southward, from the hill that [lies] before Beit-Horon [House of Hollowness] southward; and the goings out thereof were at Kiryat-Ba’al [City of lord] , which [is] Kiryat-Ye’arim [City of Forests] , a city of the children of Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised] : this [was] the west quarter.

¹⁵And the south quarter [was] from the end of Kiryat-Ye’arim [City of Forests] , and the border went out on the west, and went out to the well of waters of Neftoach [Opening] :

¹⁶And the border came down to the end of the mountain that [lies] before the valley of the son of Hinnom [Lamentation] , [and] which [is] in the valley of the giants on the north, and descended to the valley of Hinnom [Lamentation] , to the side of Y’vusi [Descendants of Y’vus (“hard trampled” or “the waterless hill”)] on the south, and descended to ‘Ein-Rogel (a place near Jerusalem) [Fount of the Fuller (washer and/or bleacher of clothes)] ,

¹⁷And was drawn from the north, and went forth to ‘Ein-Shemesh [Fountain of the Sun] , and went forth toward G’lilot [Circuits] , which [is] over against the going up of Ma’alei-Adumim [Ruddy (reddish hair or complexion) one: Quieted ones?], and descended to the stone of Bohan [Thumb] the son of Re’uven [Behold a Son] ,

¹⁸And passed along toward the side over against ‘Aravah [Desert Plain, Wilderness] northward, and went down unto ‘Aravah [Desert Plain, Wilderness] :

¹⁹And the border passed along to the side of Beit-Hoglah [House of the Partidge] northward: and the extreme limits of the border were at the north bay of the salt sea at the south end of Yarden [Descender] : this [was] the south coast.

²⁰And Yarden [Descender] was the border of it on the east side. This [was] the inheritance of the children of Binyamin [Son of the Right Hand/Strength] , by the coasts thereof round about, according to their families.

²¹Now the cities of the tribe of the children of Binyamin [Son of the Right Hand/Strength] according to their families were Yericho [Its Moon] , and Beit-Hoglah [House of the Partidge] , and the valley of K’tzitz [Cut Off] ,

²²And Beit-’Aravah [House of the Desert Valley/Depression] , and Tz’marayim [Double Fleece of Wool] , and Beit-El [House of God] ,

²³And ‘Avim [Ruins] , and Parah [Heifer-Town] , and ‘Ofrah [Fawn] ,

²⁴And K’far-Ha’amonah [Villiage of the Ammonites (the son of my people)] , and ‘Ofni [Mouldy] , and Geva [Hill] ; twelve cities with their villages:

²⁵Giv’on [Hill City] , and Ramah [Hill] , and B’erot [Wells] ,

²⁶And Mitzpah [Watchtower] , and K’firah [Lioness] , and Motzah [Fountain] ,

²⁷And Rekem [Variegation] , and Yirpe’el [God will heal] , and Tar’alah [Reeling] ,

²⁸And Tzela [a rib] , Eleph, and Y’vusi [Descendants of Y’vus (“hard trampled” or “the waterless hill”)], which [is] Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace] , Giv’at [Hill] , [and] Kiryat [City] ; fourteen cities with their villages. This [is] the inheritance of the children of Binyamin [Son of the Right Hand/Strength] according to their families.
