1 T oda a comunidade dos israelitas reuniu-se em Siló e ali armou a Tenda do Encontro. A terra foi dominada por eles;

¶ And the whole congregation of the sons of Israel assembled together at Shiloh and set up the tabernacle of the testimony there after the land was subdued before them.

2 m as sete tribos ainda não tinham recebido a sua herança.

¶ And there remained among the sons of Israel seven tribes who had not yet received their inheritance.

3 E ntão Josué disse aos israelitas: “Até quando vocês vão negligenciar a posse da terra que o Senhor, o Deus dos seus antepassados, lhes deu?

And Joshua said unto the sons of Israel, How long shall ye be negligent to go to possess the land, which the LORD God of your fathers has given you?

4 E scolham três homens de cada tribo, e eu os enviarei. Eles vão examinar a terra e mapeá-la, conforme a herança de cada tribo. Depois voltarão a mim.

Indicate from among you three men for each tribe that I may send them and let them arise and walk through the land and draw it according to its inheritances; and they shall return unto me.

5 D ividam a terra em sete partes. Judá ficará em seu território ao sul, e a tribo de José em seu território ao norte.

And they shall divide it into seven parts; Judah shall abide in their borders towards the Negev, and the house of Joseph shall abide in their borders on the north.

6 D epois que fizerem um mapa das sete partes da terra, tragam-no para mim, e eu farei sorteio para vocês na presença do Senhor, o nosso Deus.

Ye shall therefore draw up the land into seven parts and bring the description here that I may cast lots for you here before the LORD our God.

7 M as os levitas nada receberão entre vocês, pois o sacerdócio do Senhor é a herança deles. Gade, Rúben e a metade da tribo de Manassés já receberam a sua herança no lado leste do Jordão, dada a eles por Moisés, servo do Senhor ”.

But the Levites have no part among you; for the priesthood of the LORD is their inheritance; and Gad and Reuben and half the tribe of Manasseh have received their inheritance of the other side of the Jordan on the east, which Moses, the slave of the LORD, gave them.

8 Q uando os homens estavam de partida para mapear a terra, Josué os instruiu: “Vão examinar a terra e façam uma descrição dela. Depois voltem, e eu farei um sorteio para vocês aqui em Siló, na presença do Senhor ”.

And the men arose and went away; and Joshua charged those that went to draw the land, saying unto them, Go and walk through the land and draw it up and return to me that I may cast lots for you here before the LORD in Shiloh.

9 O s homens partiram e percorreram a terra. Descreveram-na num rolo, cidade por cidade, em sete partes, e retornaram a Josué, ao acampamento de Siló.

And those men went and passed through the land, drawing it by cities into seven parts in a book and came again to Joshua to the camp at Shiloh.

10 J osué fez então um sorteio para eles em Siló, na presença do Senhor, e ali distribuiu a terra aos israelitas, conforme a porção devida a cada tribo. As Terras da Tribo de Benjamim

And Joshua cast lots for them in Shiloh before the LORD; and there Joshua divided the land unto the sons of Israel according to their portions.

11 S aiu a sorte para a tribo de Benjamim, clã por clã. O território sorteado ficava entre as tribos de Judá e de José.

¶ And the lot of the tribe of the sons of Benjamin came up according to their families; and the border of their lot came forth between the sons of Judah and the sons of Joseph.

12 N o lado norte a sua fronteira começava no Jordão, passava pela encosta norte de Jericó e prosseguia para o oeste, para a região montanhosa, terminando no deserto de Bete-Áven.

And their border on the side of the north was from the Jordan and that border goes up beside Jericho on the north side and up to the mountain westward and comes out at the wilderness of Bethaven;

13 D ali ia para a encosta sul de Luz, que é Betel, e descia para Atarote-Adar, na montanha que está ao sul de Bete-Horom Baixa.

and from there that border passes through Luz, by the side of Luz (which is Bethel) towards the Negev. And this border descends from Atarothadar to the mountain that is towards the Negev of the lower Bethhoron.

14 D a montanha que fica defronte de Bete-Horom, no sul, a fronteira virava para o sul, ao longo do lado ocidental, e terminava em Quiriate-Baal, que é Quiriate-Jearim, cidade do povo de Judá. Esse era o lado ocidental.

And this border turns and compasses the side of the sea towards the Negev unto the mountain that is before Bethhoron towards the Negev, and it comes out at Kirjathbaal, which is Kirjathjearim, a city of the sons of Judah. This is the west quarter.

15 A fronteira sul começava no oeste, nos arredores de Quiriate-Jearim, e chegava à fonte de Neftoa.

And the side of the Negev is from the end of Kirjathjearim, and the border goes out to the west and comes out at the well of waters of Nephtoah,

16 A fronteira descia até o sopé da montanha que fica defronte do vale de Ben-Hinom, ao norte do vale de Refaim. Depois, prosseguia, descendo pelo vale de Hinom ao longo da encosta sul da cidade dos jebuseus e chegava até En-Rogel.

and this border descends to the end of the mountain that is before the valley of the son of Hinnom, which is in the valley of the giants to the north, and descends then to the valley of Hinnom, to the side of the Jebusite towards the Negev and from there descends to the fountain of Rogel,

17 F azia então uma curva para o norte, ia para En-Semes, continuava até Gelilote, que fica defronte da subida de Adumim, e descia até a Pedra de Boã, filho de Rúben.

and from the north it turns and goes to Enshemesh and from there goes to Geliloth, which is over against the ascent to Adummim, and descends to the stone of Bohan, the son of Reuben

18 P rosseguia para a encosta norte de Bete-Arabá, e daí descia para a Arabá.

and passes along toward the side over against the valley of the north and descends to the plain;

19 D epois ia para a encosta norte de Bete-Hogla e terminava na baía norte do mar Salgado, na foz do Jordão, no sul. Essa era a fronteira sul.

and this border turns to pass to the side of Bethhoglah northward, and the border comes out at the north bay of the salt sea at the end of the Jordan towards the Negev. This is the border towards the Negev.

20 O Jordão delimitava a fronteira oriental. Essas eram as fronteiras que demarcavam por todos os lados a herança dos clãs de Benjamim.

And Jordan finishes this border on the east side. This is the inheritance of the sons of Benjamin, by the borders thereof round about, according to their families.

21 A tribo de Benjamim, clã por clã, recebeu as seguintes cidades: Jericó, Bete-Hogla, Emeque-Queziz,
