Josua 18

² Men der var endnu syv Stammer tilbage af Israeliterne, som ikke havde fået deres Arvelod tildelt.

² There remained among the sons of Israel seven tribes who had not divided their inheritance.

⁴ 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 så komme tilbage til mig.

⁴ Provide for yourselves three men from each tribe that I may send them, and that they may arise and walk through the land and write a description of it according to their inheritance; then they shall return to me.

⁶ Og I skal så affatte en Beskrivelse over Landet, delt i syv Dele, og bringe mig den; så vil jeg kaste Lod for eder her for HERREN vor Guds Åsyn.

⁶ You shall describe the land in seven divisions, and bring the description here to me. I will cast lots for you here before the Lord our God.

⁸ Da begav Mændene sig på Vej; og Josua bød de bortdragende affatte en Beskrivelse over Landet, idet han sagde: "Drag Landet rundt, affat en Beskrivelse over det og kom så tilbage til mig; så vil jeg kaste Lod for eder her for HERRENs Åsyn i Silo!"

⁸ Then the men arose and went, and Joshua commanded those who went to describe the land, saying, “Go and walk through the land and describe it, and return to me; then I will cast lots for you here before the Lord in Shiloh.”

¹⁰ Men Josua kastede Lod for dem i Silo for HERRENs Åsyn og udskiftede der Landet til Israeliterne, Afdeling, for Afdeling.

¹⁰ And Joshua cast lots for them in Shiloh before the Lord, and there Joshua divided the land to the sons of Israel according to their divisions.

¹² Deres Nordgrænse begynder ved Jordan, og Grænsen strækker sig op til Bjergryggen norden for Jeriko og mod Vest op i Bjerglandet, så den ender i Bet-Avens Ørken;

¹² Their border on the north side was from the Jordan, then the border went up to the side of Jericho on the north, and went up through the hill country westward, and it ended at the wilderness of Beth-aven.

¹⁴ Derpå bøjer Grænsen om og løber som Vestgrænse sydpå fra Bjerget lige sønden for Bet-Horon og ender ved Kirjat-Ba'al, det er den judæiske By Kirjat-Jearim; det er Vestgrænsen.

¹⁴ The border extended from there and turned round on the west side southward, from the hill which lies before Beth-horon southward; and it ended at Kiriath-baal (that is, Kiriath-jearim), a city of the sons of Judah. This was the west side.

¹⁶ derpå 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;

¹⁶ The border went down to the edge of the hill which is in the valley of Ben-hinnom, which is in the valley of Rephaim northward; and it went down to the valley of Hinnom, to the slope of the Jebusite southward, and went down to En-rogel.

¹⁸ og går så videre til Bjergryggen norden for Bet-Araba og ned i Arabalavningen;

¹⁸ It continued to the side in front of the Arabah northward and went down to the Arabah.

²⁰ Mod Øst danner Jordan Grænse. Det er Benjaminiternes Arvelod med dens Grænser efter deres Slægter.

²⁰ Moreover, the Jordan was its border on the east side. This was the inheritance of the sons of Benjamin, according to their families and according to its borders all around.

²² Bet-Araba, Zemarajim, Betel,

²² and Beth-arabah and Zemaraim and Bethel,

²⁴ and Chephar-ammoni and Ophni and Geba; twelve cities with their villages.

²⁶ Mizpe, Kefira, Moza,

²⁶ and Mizpeh and Chephirah and Mozah,

²⁸ Zela, Elef, Jebus, det er Jerusalem, Gibeat og Kirjat-Jearim; tilsammen fjorten Byer med Landsbyer. Det er Benjaminiternes Arvelod efter deres Slægter.
