'Territory' in the Bible
The words of Hilkiah's son Jeremiah, who was one of the priests at Anathoth in the territory of Benjamin.
"I'll give away your wealth and your treasures as plunder, for free, because of all your sins throughout your territory.
My mountain in the field, your wealth and your treasures I'll give as spoil; along with your high places as the price of your sin throughout your territory.
They'll come from the cities of Judah, from the places around Jerusalem, from the territory of Benjamin, from the Shephelah, from the hill country, and from the Negev, bringing burnt offerings, sacrifices, grain offerings, and incense, and bringing thanksgiving offerings to the LORD's Temple.
There is hope for your future," declares the LORD. "Your children will return to their own territory."
"Then my cousin Hanamel came to me in the courtyard of the guard just as the LORD had said, and he told me, "Please buy my field in Anathoth in the territory of Benjamin because you have the right to possess it, and the right to redeem it belongs to you. Buy it for yourself.' So I knew that this was a message from the LORD.
In the towns of the hill country, in the towns of the Shephelah, in the towns of the Negev, in the territory of Benjamin, in the areas around Jerusalem, and in the towns of Judah flocks will again pass under the hands of the one who counts them,' says the LORD."
Jeremiah left Jerusalem to go to the territory of Benjamin to take possession of his property there among the people.
