Joshua 18:10

8 Then the men arose to go away; and Joshua charged those who went to¹ survey the land, saying, “Go, walk ^athrough the land, survey it, and come back to me, that I may cast lots for you here before the Lord in Shiloh.”

9 So the men went, passed through the land, and¹ wrote the survey in a book in seven parts by cities; and they came to Joshua at the camp in Shiloh.

10 Then Joshua cast ^alots for them in Shiloh before the Lord, and there ^bJoshua divided the land to the children of Israel according to their¹ divisions.

The Land of Benjamin

11 ^aNow the lot of the tribe of the children of Benjamin came up according to their families, and the territory of their lot came out between the children of Judah and the children of Joseph.

12 ^aTheir border on the north side began at the Jordan, and the border went up to the side of Jericho on the north, and went up through the mountains westward; it ended at the Wilderness of Beth Aven.

13 The border went over from there toward Luz, to the side of Luz ^a(which is Bethel) southward; and the border descended to Ataroth Addar, near the hill that lies on the south side ^bof Lower Beth Horon.
