and it goeth out from Bethel towards Luz, - and passeth over unto the boundary of the Archites at Ataroth;

and descendeth westward, unto the boundary of the Japhletites, as far as the boundary of Bethhoron the nether, and as far as Gezer, - and the extensions thereof are to the sea.

So the sons of Joseph, Manasseh and Ephraim, received their inheritance.

And the boundary of the sons of Ephraim, by their families, was, - yea the boundary of their inheritance on the east, was Ataroth-addar, as far as Beth-horon the upper;

and the boundary goeth out westward at Michmethath, on the north, then the boundary bendeth round easward, to Taanath-shiloh, - and passeth by it on the east to Janoah;

and goeth down from Janoah to Ataroth and to Naarah, - and toucheth upon Jericho, and goeth out at the Jordan.

From Tappuah, runneth the boundary along westward, to the ravine of Kanah, and the extensions thereof are to the sea, - this, is the inheritance of the tribe of the sons of Ephraim, by their families;

But they did not dispossess the Canaanites who were dwelling in Gazer, - so the Canaanites have dwelt in the midst of Ephraim unto this day, and have become tributary servants.

And the lot for the tribe of Manasseh was, for, he, was the firstborn of Joseph, - as for Machir, the firstborn of Manasseh, the father of Gilead, because, he, was a man of war, therefore had he Gilead and Bashan.

So the lot pertained to the rest of the sons of Manasseh, by their families, to the sons of Abiezer, and to the sons of Helek, and to the sons of Asriel, and to the sons of Shechem, and to the sons of Hepher, and to the sons of Shemida, - these, were the sons of Manasseh, son of Joseph, even the male descendants, by their families.

But, Zelophehad, son of Hepher, son of Gilead, son of Machir, son of Manasseh, had no sons, but only daughters, - and, these, are the names of his daughters, Mahlah and Noah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Tirzah.

And they had come near, before Eleazar the priest, and before Joshua son of Nun, and before the princes, saying, Yahweh, commanded Moses, to give us an inheritance in the midst of our brethren, - And he had given them, according to the bidding of Yahweh, an inheritance, in the midst of the brethren of their father.

Thus there fell ten portions to Manasseh, - besides the land of Gilead, and Bashan, which is beyond the Jordan;

because, the daughters of Manasseh, received an inheritance in the midst of his sons, - and, the land of Gilead, became the possession of the sons of Manasseh that remained.

So then the boundary of Manasseh was from Asher, Michmethath, which faceth Shechem, - and the boundary goeth along unto the right hand, unto the inhabitants of En-tappuah.

Manasseh, had the land of Tappuah, - but, Tappuah itself, towards the boundary of Manasseh, pertained unto the sons of Ephraim;

and the boundary goeth down to the ravine of Kanah, southward of the ravine, these cities, belong to Ephraim, in the midst of the cities of Manasseh, - but, the boundary of Manasseh, was on the north side of the ravine, and the extensions thereof were to the sea;

southward, pertaineth to Ephraim, and, northward, to Manasseh, and the sea was the boundary thereof, - and they touch, Asher, on the north, and Issachar on the east.

And Manasseh had - in Issachar and in Asher - Bethshean and her towns, and Ibleam and her towns, and the inhabitants of Dor and her towns, and the inhabitants of En-dor and her towns, and the inhabitants of Taanach and her towns, and the inhabitants of Megiddo, and her towns - the three heights,

Then spake the sons of Joseph unto Joshua, saying, - Why hast thou given me, as an inheritance, but one lot and one portion, seeing that, I, am a numerous people, because hitherto hath Yahweh blessed me.

And Joshua said unto them: If, a numerous people, thou art, get thee up to the forest, and cut down for thyself there, in the land of the Perizzites and of the Rephaim, - seeing that, too narrow for thee, is the hill country of Ephraim.

And the sons of Joseph said, The hill country is not enough for us, - and there are, chariots of iron, among all the Canaanites that dwell in the land of the valley, belonging both to them in Bethshean, and her towns, and to them in the valley of Jezreel.

And Joshua made answer unto the house of Joseph, to Ephraim and to Manasseh, saying, - A numerous people, thou art, and, great vigour, thou hast, thou shalt not have one lot only;

for, the hill country, shall be thine, in that, a forest, it is, therefore canst thou cut it down, and thine shall be the extensions thereof, - for thou shalt dispossess the Canaanites, though, chariots of iron, they have, and though, strong, they are.

Then were gathered together all the assembly of the sons of Israel at Shiloh, and they set up there, the tent of meeting, - the land, having been subdued before them.

So Joshua said unto the sons of Israel, - How long, will ye be too slothful, to enter in and take possession of the land, which Yahweh God of your fathers, hath given unto you?

Set forth for you three men for each tribe, - that I may send them, that they may arise - and go up and down in the land - and map it out as required for their inheritance, and come in unto me.

So shall they apportion it for themselves into seven parts, - Let, Judah, stay upon his boundary, on the south, and, the house of Joseph, stay upon their boundary, on the north,

but, ye, shall map out the rest of the land, into seven parts, - and bring in your descriptions unto me, here, - then will I cast lots for you here, before Yahweh our God.

For Levi hath no portion in your midst, for, the priesthood of Yahweh, is his inheritance, - and, Gad, and Reuben, and the half tribe of Manasseh, have received their inheritance, beyond the Jordan on the east, which Moses the servant of Yahweh gave unto them.

So the men arose, and went, - and Joshua commanded them who were going, to map out the land, saying - Take your journey and go up and down in the land, and map it out, and return unto me, and, here, will I cast lots for you before Yahweh, in Shiloh.

So the men went, and passed through the land, and mapped it out by cities, into seven parts, upon a scroll, - and came in unto Joshua, unto the camp, in Shiloh.

And Joshua cast for them lots, in Shiloh, before Yahweh, - and Joshua there apportioned the land unto the sons of Israel, according to their portions.

Then came up the lot of the tribe of the sons of Benjamin, by their families, - and the boundary of their lot came out, between the sons of Judah and the sons of Joseph.

And so their boundary, on the north border, was from the Jordan, - and the boundary goeth up unto the side of Jericho on the north, and goeth up in the hill country, westward, and the extensions thereof are towards the wilderness of Beth-aven;

and the boundary passeth over from thence towards Luz, to the side of Luz, southwards, the same, is Bethel, - and the boundary goeth down to Ataroth-addah, by the mountain that is on the south of Beth-horon the nether;

then turneth the boundary and goeth round the west border, southward, from the mountain which faceth Beth-horon, southward, and so the extensions thereof are unto Kiriath-baal - the same, is Kiriath-jearim, a city of the sons of Judah, - this, is the west border.

And, the border southward, is from the uttermost part of Kiriath-jearim, - and the boundary goeth out westward, yea it goeth out unto the fountain of the waters of Nephtoah;

and the boundary goeth down to the uttermost part of the mountain which faceth the valley of the son of Hinnom, which is in the Vale of Giants, northward, - and descendeth the valley of Hinnom, unto the side of the Jebusite, southward, and then descendeth to En-rogel;

and it turneth on the north, and goeth out at En-shemesh, and goeth out unto Geliloth, which is over against the ascent of Adummim, - and goeth down by the Stone of Bohan, son of Reuben;

and passeth along unto the side over against the Arabah, northward, - and goeth down toward the Arabah;

and the boundary passeth along unto the side of Beth-hoglah, northward, and so the extensions of the boundary are unto the bay of the Salt Sea, northward, unto the end of the Jordan, southward, - This, is the south boundary.

And, the Jordan itself, boundeth it as an eastward border. This, is the inheritance of the sons of Benjamin, by the boundaries thereof round about, by their families.

So then the cities of the tribe of the sons of Benjamin, by their families, are, - Jericho and Beth-hoglah, and Emekkeziz,

and Beth-arabah and Zemaraim, and Bethel,

and Avvim and Parah and Ophrah,

and Chephar-ammoni and Ophni, and Geba, - twelve cities, with their villages:

Gibeon and Ramah, and Beeroth,

and Mizpeh and Chephirah, and Mozah,

and Rekem and Irpeel, and Taralah,

and Zelah, Eleph, and the Jebusite, the same, is Jerusalem, Gibeath and Kiriath, fourteen cities, with their villages. This, is the inheritance of the song of Benjamin, by their families.

And the second lot came out, for Simeon, for the tribe of the sons of Simeon, by their families, - and their inheritance was in the midst of the inheritance of the sons of Judah.

And they had for their inheritance, - Beer-sheba or Sheba, and Moladah,

and Hazar-shual, and Balah, and Ezem,

and Eltolad and Bethul, and Hormah,

and Ziklag and Beth-marcaboth, and Hazar-susah,

and Beth-lebaoth, and Sharuhen, - thirteen cities, with their villages:

Ain, Rimmon, and Ether and Ashan, - four cities, with their villages,

and all the villages that were round about these cities, as far as Baalath-beer, Ramah of the South. This, is the inheritance of the tribe of the sons of Simeon, by their families:

Then came up the third lot, for the sons of Zebulun, by their families, - and the boundary of their inheritance was as far as Sarid.
