Biblia Sacra Vulgata
18 Congregatique sunt omnes filii Israel in Silo, ibique fixerunt tabernaculum testimonii, et fuit eis terra subjecta.
2 Remanserant autem filiorum Israel septem tribus, quae necdum acceperant possessiones suas.
3 Ad quos Josue ait: Usquequo marcetis ignavia, et non intratis ad possidendam terram, quam Dominus Deus patrum vestrorum dedit vobis?
4 Eligite de singulis tribubus ternos viros, ut mittam eos, et pergant atque circumeant terram, et describant eam juxta numerum uniuscujusque multitudinis: referantque ad me quod descripserint.
5 Dividite vobis terram in septem partes: Judas sit in terminis suis ab australi plaga, et domus Joseph ab aquilone.
6 Mediam inter hos terram in septem partes describite: et huc venietis ad me, ut coram Domino Deo vestro mittam vobis hic sortem:
7 quia non est inter vos pars Levitarum, sed sacerdotium Domini est eorum haereditas. Gad autem et Ruben, et dimidia tribus Manasse, jam acceperant possessiones suas trans Jordanem ad orientalem plagam, quas dedit eis Moyses famulus Domini.
8 Cumque surrexissent viri, ut pergerent ad describendam terram, praecepit eis Josue, dicens: Circuite terram, et describite eam, ac revertimini ad me: ut hic coram Domino, in Silo, mittam vobis sortem.
9 Itaque perrexerunt: et lustrantes eam, in septem partes diviserunt, scribentes in volumine. Reversique sunt ad Josue in castra Silo.
10 Qui misit sortes coram Domino in Silo, divisitque terram filiis Israel in septem partes.
11 Et ascendit sors prima filiorum Benjamin per familias suas, ut possiderent terram inter filios Juda et filios Joseph.
12 Fuitque terminus eorum contra aquilonem a Jordane: pergens juxta latus Jericho septentrionalis plagae, et inde contra occidentem ad montana conscendens et perveniens ad solitudinem Bethaven,
13 atque pertransiens juxta Luzam ad meridiem, ipsa est Bethel: descenditque in Ataroth Addar, in montem qui est ad meridiem Beth-horon inferioris:
14 et inclinatur circuiens contra mare ad meridiem montis qui respicit Beth-horon contra Africum: suntque exitus ejus in Cariath-baal, quae vocatur et Cariathiarim, urbem filiorum Juda. Haec est plaga contra mare, ad occidentem.
15 A meridie autem ex parte Cariathiarim egreditur terminus contra mare, et pervenit usque ad fontem aquarum Nephtoa.
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) juxta latus Jebusaei ad austrum: et pervenit ad fontem Rogel,
17 transiens ad aquilonem, et egrediens ad Ensemes, id est, fontem solis:
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,
19 et praetergreditur contra aquilonem Beth Hagla: suntque exitus ejus contra linguam maris salsissimi ab aquilone in fine Jordanis ad australem plagam:
20 qui est terminus illius ab oriente. Haec est possessio filiorum Benjamin per terminos suos in circuitu, et familias suas.
21 Fueruntque civitates ejus, Jericho et Beth Hagla et vallis Casis,
22 Beth Araba et Samaraim et Bethel
23 et Avim et Aphara et Ophera,
24 villa Emona et Ophni et Gabee: civitates duodecim, et villae earum.
25 Gabaon et Rama et Beroth,
26 et Mesphe et Caphara, et Amosa
27 et Recem, Jarephel et Tharela,
28 et Sela, Eleph, et Jebus, quae est Jerusalem, Gabaath et Cariath: civitates quatuordecim, et villae earum. Haec est possessio filiorum Benjamin juxta familias suas.
19 Et egressa est sors secunda filiorum Simeon per cognationes suas: fuitque haereditas
2 eorum in medio possessionis filiorum Juda: Bersabee et Sabee et Molada
3 et Hasersual, Bala et Asem
4 et Eltholad, Bethul et Harma
5 et Siceleg et Bethmarchaboth et Hasersusa
6 et Bethlebaoth et Sarohen: civitates tredecim, et villae earum.
7 Ain et Remmon et Athar et Asan: civitates quatuor, et villae earum:
8 omnes viculi per circuitum urbium istarum usque ad Baalath Beer Ramath contra australem plagam. Haec est haereditas filiorum Simeon juxta cognationes suas,
9 in possessione et funiculo filiorum Juda: quia major erat, et idcirco filii Simeon possederunt in medio haereditatis eorum.
10 Ceciditque sors tertia filiorum Zabulon per cognationes suas: factus est terminus possessionis eorum usque Sarid.
11 Ascenditque de mari et Merala, et pervenit in Debbaseth, usque ad torrentem qui est contra Jeconam.
12 Et revertitur de Sared contra orientem in fines Ceseleththabor: et egreditur ad Dabereth, ascenditque contra Japhie.
13 Et inde pertransit usque ad orientalem plagam Gethepher et Thacasin: et egreditur in Remmon, Amthar et Noa.
14 Et circuit ad aquilonem Hanathon: suntque egressus ejus vallis Jephthael,
15 et Cateth et Naalol et Semeron et Jerala et Bethlehem: civitates duodecim, et villae earum.
16 Haec est haereditas tribus filiorum Zabulon per cognationes suas, urbes et viculi earum.
17 Issachar egressa est sors quarta per cognationes suas:
18 fuitque ejus haereditas Jezrael et Casaloth et Sunem
19 et Hapharaim et Seon, et Anaharath
20 et Rabboth et Cesion, Abes,
21 et Rameth, et Engannim, et Enhadda et Bethpheses.
22 Et pervenit terminus ejus usque Thabor et Sehesima et Bethsames, eruntque exitus ejus Jordanis: civitates sedecim, et villae earum.
23 Haec est possessio filiorum Issachar per cognationes suas, urbes et viculi earum.
24 Ceciditque sors quinta tribui filiorum Aser per cognationes suas:
25 fuitque terminus eorum Halcath et Chali et Beten et Axaph
26 et Elmelech et Amaad et Messal: et pervenit usque ad Carmelum maris et Sihor et Labanath,
27 ac revertitur contra orientem Bethdagon: et pertransit usque Zabulon et vallem Jephthael contra aquilonem in Bethemec et Nehiel. Egrediturque ad laevam Cabul,
28 et Abran et Rohob et Hamon et Cana, usque ad Sidonem magnam.
29 Revertiturque in Horma usque ad civitatem munitissimam Tyrum, et usque Hosa: eruntque exitus ejus in mare de funiculo Achziba:
30 et Amma et Aphec et Rohob: civitates viginti duae, et villae earum.
31 Haec est possessio filiorum Aser per cognationes suas, urbesque et viculi earum.
32 Filiorum Nephthali sexta sors cecidit per familias suas:
33 et coepit terminus de Heleph et Elon in Saananim, et Adami, quae est Neceb, et Jebnael usque Lecum: et egressus eorum usque ad Jordanem:
34 revertiturque terminus contra occidentem in Azanotthabor, atque inde egreditur in Hucuca, et pertransit in Zabulon contra meridiem, et in Aser contra occidentem, et in Juda ad Jordanem contra ortum solis:
35 civitates munitissimae, Assedim, Ser, et Emath, et Reccath et Cenereth,
36 et Edema et Arama, Asor
37 et Cedes et Edrai, Enhasor,
38 et Jeron et Magdalel, Horem et Bethanath et Bethsames: civitates decem et novem, et villae earum.
39 Haec est possessio tribus filiorum Nephthali per cognationes suas, urbes et viculi earum.
40 Tribui filiorum Dan per familias suas egressa est sors septima:
41 et fuit terminus possessionis ejus Sara et Esthaol, et Hirsemes, id est, civitas solis.
42 Selebin et Ajalon et Jethela,
43 Elon et Themna et Acron,
44 Elthece, Gebbethon et Balaath,
45 et Jud et Bane et Barach et Gethremmon:
46 et Mejarcon et Arecon, cum termino qui respicit Joppen,
47 et ipso fine concluditur. Ascenderuntque filii Dan, et pugnaverunt contra Lesem, ceperuntque eam: et percusserunt eam in ore gladii, et possederunt, et habitaverunt in ea, vocantes nomen ejus Lesem Dan, ex nomine Dan patris sui.
48 Haec est possessio tribus filiorum Dan, per cognationes suas, urbes et viculi earum.
49 Cumque complesset sorte dividere terram singulis per tribus suas, dederunt filii Israel possessionem Josue filio Nun in medio sui,
50 juxta praeceptum Domini, urbem quam postulavit Thamnath Saraa in monte Ephraim: et aedificavit civitatem, habitavitque in ea.
51 Hae sunt possessiones, quas sorte diviserunt Eleazar sacerdos, et Josue filius Nun, et principes familiarum ac tribuum filiorum Israel in Silo, coram Domino ad ostium tabernaculi testimonii: partitique sunt terram.

Joshua 18-19
New International Version
Division of the Rest of the Land
18 The whole assembly of the Israelites gathered at Shiloh(A) and set up the tent of meeting(B) there. The country was brought under their control, 2 but there were still seven Israelite tribes who had not yet received their inheritance.
3 So Joshua said to the Israelites: “How long will you wait before you begin to take possession of the land that the Lord, the God of your ancestors, has given you? 4 Appoint three men from each tribe. I will send them out to make a survey of the land and to write a description of it,(C) according to the inheritance of each.(D) Then they will return to me. 5 You are to divide the land into seven parts. Judah is to remain in its territory on the south(E) and the tribes of Joseph in their territory on the north.(F) 6 After you have written descriptions of the seven parts of the land, bring them here to me and I will cast lots(G) for you in the presence of the Lord our God. 7 The Levites, however, do not get a portion among you, because the priestly service of the Lord is their inheritance.(H) And Gad, Reuben and the half-tribe of Manasseh have already received their inheritance on the east side of the Jordan. Moses the servant of the Lord gave it to them.(I)”
8 As the men started on their way to map out the land, Joshua instructed them, “Go and make a survey of the land and write a description of it.(J) Then return to me, and I will cast lots for you here at Shiloh(K) in the presence of the Lord.” 9 So the men left and went through the land. They wrote its description on a scroll, town by town, in seven parts, and returned to Joshua in the camp at Shiloh. 10 Joshua then cast lots(L) for them in Shiloh in the presence(M) of the Lord, and there he distributed the land to the Israelites according to their tribal divisions.(N)
Allotment for Benjamin
11 The first lot came up for the tribe of Benjamin according to its clans. Their allotted territory lay between the tribes of Judah and Joseph:
12 On the north side their boundary began at the Jordan, passed the northern slope of Jericho and headed west into the hill country, coming out at the wilderness(O) of Beth Aven.(P) 13 From there it crossed to the south slope of Luz(Q) (that is, Bethel(R)) and went down to Ataroth Addar(S) on the hill south of Lower Beth Horon.
14 From the hill facing Beth Horon(T) on the south the boundary turned south along the western side and came out at Kiriath Baal (that is, Kiriath Jearim),(U) a town of the people of Judah. This was the western side.
15 The southern side began at the outskirts of Kiriath Jearim on the west, and the boundary came out at the spring of the waters of Nephtoah.(V) 16 The boundary went down to the foot of the hill facing the Valley of Ben Hinnom, north of the Valley of Rephaim.(W) It continued down the Hinnom Valley(X) along the southern slope of the Jebusite city and so to En Rogel.(Y) 17 It then curved north, went to En Shemesh, continued to Geliloth,(Z) which faces the Pass of Adummim,(AA) and ran down to the Stone of Bohan(AB) son of Reuben. 18 It continued to the northern slope of Beth Arabah[a](AC) and on down into the Arabah.(AD) 19 It then went to the northern slope of Beth Hoglah(AE) and came out at the northern bay of the Dead Sea,(AF) at the mouth of the Jordan in the south. This was the southern boundary.
20 The Jordan formed the boundary on the eastern side.
These were the boundaries that marked out the inheritance of the clans of Benjamin on all sides.(AG)
21 The tribe of Benjamin, according to its clans, had the following towns:
Jericho, Beth Hoglah,(AH) Emek Keziz, 22 Beth Arabah,(AI) Zemaraim,(AJ) Bethel,(AK) 23 Avvim,(AL) Parah, Ophrah,(AM) 24 Kephar Ammoni, Ophni and Geba(AN)—twelve towns and their villages.
25 Gibeon,(AO) Ramah,(AP) Beeroth,(AQ) 26 Mizpah,(AR) Kephirah,(AS) Mozah, 27 Rekem, Irpeel, Taralah, 28 Zelah,(AT) Haeleph, the Jebusite city(AU) (that is, Jerusalem(AV)), Gibeah(AW) and Kiriath—fourteen towns and their villages.(AX)
This was the inheritance of Benjamin for its clans.(AY)
Allotment for Simeon(AZ)
19 The second lot came out for the tribe of Simeon according to its clans. Their inheritance lay within the territory of Judah.(BA) 2 It included:
Beersheba(BB) (or Sheba),[b] Moladah,(BC) 3 Hazar Shual,(BD) Balah, Ezem,(BE) 4 Eltolad,(BF) Bethul, Hormah,(BG) 5 Ziklag,(BH) Beth Markaboth, Hazar Susah, 6 Beth Lebaoth and Sharuhen—thirteen towns and their villages;
7 Ain, Rimmon,(BI) Ether and Ashan(BJ)—four towns and their villages— 8 and all the villages around these towns as far as Baalath Beer (Ramah in the Negev).(BK)
This was the inheritance of the tribe of the Simeonites, according to its clans. 9 The inheritance of the Simeonites was taken from the share of Judah,(BL) because Judah’s portion was more than they needed. So the Simeonites received their inheritance within the territory of Judah.(BM)
Allotment for Zebulun
10 The third lot came up for Zebulun(BN) according to its clans:
The boundary of their inheritance went as far as Sarid.(BO) 11 Going west it ran to Maralah, touched Dabbesheth, and extended to the ravine near Jokneam.(BP) 12 It turned east from Sarid(BQ) toward the sunrise to the territory of Kisloth Tabor and went on to Daberath(BR) and up to Japhia. 13 Then it continued eastward to Gath Hepher(BS) and Eth Kazin; it came out at Rimmon(BT) and turned toward Neah. 14 There the boundary went around on the north to Hannathon and ended at the Valley of Iphtah El.(BU) 15 Included were Kattath, Nahalal,(BV) Shimron,(BW) Idalah and Bethlehem.(BX) There were twelve towns and their villages.
16 These towns and their villages were the inheritance of Zebulun,(BY) according to its clans.(BZ)
Allotment for Issachar
17 The fourth lot came out for Issachar(CA) according to its clans. 18 Their territory included:
Jezreel,(CB) Kesulloth, Shunem,(CC) 19 Hapharaim, Shion, Anaharath, 20 Rabbith, Kishion,(CD) Ebez, 21 Remeth, En Gannim,(CE) En Haddah and Beth Pazzez. 22 The boundary touched Tabor,(CF) Shahazumah and Beth Shemesh,(CG) and ended at the Jordan. There were sixteen towns and their villages.
23 These towns and their villages were the inheritance of the tribe of Issachar,(CH) according to its clans.(CI)
Allotment for Asher
24 The fifth lot came out for the tribe of Asher(CJ) according to its clans. 25 Their territory included:
Helkath, Hali, Beten, Akshaph,(CK) 26 Allammelek, Amad and Mishal.(CL) On the west the boundary touched Carmel(CM) and Shihor Libnath. 27 It then turned east toward Beth Dagon,(CN) touched Zebulun(CO) and the Valley of Iphtah El,(CP) and went north to Beth Emek and Neiel, passing Kabul(CQ) on the left. 28 It went to Abdon,[c](CR) Rehob,(CS) Hammon(CT) and Kanah,(CU) as far as Greater Sidon.(CV) 29 The boundary then turned back toward Ramah(CW) and went to the fortified city of Tyre,(CX) turned toward Hosah and came out at the Mediterranean Sea(CY) in the region of Akzib,(CZ) 30 Ummah, Aphek(DA) and Rehob.(DB) There were twenty-two towns and their villages.
31 These towns and their villages were the inheritance of the tribe of Asher,(DC) according to its clans.
Allotment for Naphtali
32 The sixth lot came out for Naphtali according to its clans:
33 Their boundary went from Heleph and the large tree in Zaanannim,(DD) passing Adami Nekeb and Jabneel(DE) to Lakkum and ending at the Jordan. 34 The boundary ran west through Aznoth Tabor and came out at Hukkok.(DF) It touched Zebulun(DG) on the south, Asher on the west and the Jordan[d] on the east. 35 The fortified towns were Ziddim, Zer, Hammath,(DH) Rakkath, Kinnereth,(DI) 36 Adamah, Ramah,(DJ) Hazor,(DK) 37 Kedesh,(DL) Edrei,(DM) En Hazor, 38 Iron, Migdal El, Horem, Beth Anath(DN) and Beth Shemesh.(DO) There were nineteen towns and their villages.
39 These towns and their villages were the inheritance of the tribe of Naphtali, according to its clans.(DP)
Allotment for Dan
40 The seventh lot came out for the tribe of Dan according to its clans. 41 The territory of their inheritance included:
Zorah, Eshtaol,(DQ) Ir Shemesh, 42 Shaalabbin, Aijalon,(DR) Ithlah, 43 Elon, Timnah,(DS) Ekron,(DT) 44 Eltekeh, Gibbethon,(DU) Baalath,(DV) 45 Jehud, Bene Berak, Gath Rimmon,(DW) 46 Me Jarkon and Rakkon, with the area facing Joppa.(DX)
47 (When the territory of the Danites was lost to them,(DY) they went up and attacked Leshem(DZ), took it, put it to the sword and occupied it. They settled in Leshem and named(EA) it Dan after their ancestor.)(EB)
48 These towns and their villages were the inheritance of the tribe of Dan,(EC) according to its clans.
Allotment for Joshua
49 When they had finished dividing the land into its allotted portions, the Israelites gave Joshua son of Nun an inheritance among them, 50 as the Lord had commanded. They gave him the town he asked for—Timnath Serah[e](ED) in the hill country of Ephraim. And he built up the town and settled there.
51 These are the territories that Eleazar the priest, Joshua son of Nun and the heads of the tribal clans of Israel assigned by lot at Shiloh in the presence of the Lord at the entrance to the tent of meeting. And so they finished dividing(EE) the land.(EF)
