Joshua Chapter 18

Joshua 18:1
18:1 And the whole congregation of the children of Israel
     assembled together at Shiloh, and set up the {a} tabernacle
     of the congregation there. And the land was subdued before
     them.

     (a) For they had now removed it from Gilgal, and set it up
         in Shiloh.

Joshua 18:2
18:2 And there remained among the children of Israel seven
     tribes, {b} which had not yet received their inheritance.

     (b) As Eleazar, Joshua, and the heads of the tribes had
         done to Judah, Ephraim, and half of Manasseh.

Joshua 18:4
18:4 Give out from among you three men for [each] tribe: and I
     will send them, and they shall rise, and go through the
     land, and describe it according to {c} the inheritance of
     them; and they shall come [again] to me.

     (c) That is, into seven portions, one to every tribe.

Joshua 18:5
18:5 And they shall divide it into seven parts: Judah shall
     abide in their coast on the south, and the house of Joseph
     shall {d} abide in their coasts on the north.

     (d) For these had their inheritance already appointed.

Joshua 18:6
18:6 Ye shall therefore describe the land [into] seven parts,
     and bring [the description] hither to me, that I may cast
     lots for you here before the {e} LORD our God.

     (e) Before the ark of the Lord.

Joshua 18:7
18:7 But the Levites have no part among you; for the {f}
     priesthood of the LORD [is] their inheritance: and Gad, and
     Reuben, and half the tribe of Manasseh, have received their
     inheritance beyond Jordan on the east, which Moses the
     servant of the LORD gave them.

     (f) That is, the sacrifices and offerings, Joshua 13:14.

Joshua 18:8
18:8 And the men arose, and went away: and Joshua charged them
     that went to {g} describe the land, saying, Go and walk
     through the land, and describe it, and come again to me,
     that I may here cast lots for you before the LORD in
     Shiloh.

     (g) By writing the names of every country and city.

Joshua 18:10
18:10 And Joshua {h} cast lots for them in Shiloh before the
      LORD: and there Joshua divided the land unto the children
      of Israel according to their divisions.

      (h) That everyone should be content with God's appointment.

Joshua 18:11
18:11 And the lot of the tribe of the children of Benjamin came
      up according to their families: and the coast of their lot
      came forth {i} between the children of Judah and the
      children of Joseph.

      (i) Their inheritance bordered on Judah and Joseph.

Joshua 18:13
18:13 And the border went over from thence toward Luz, to the
      side of Luz, which [is] {k} Bethel, southward; and the
      border descended to Atarothadar, near the hill that
      [lieth] on the south side of the nether Bethhoron.

      (k) Which was in the tribe of Ephraim: another Bethel was
          in the tribe of Benjamin.

Joshua 18:17
18:17 And was drawn from the north, and went forth to {l}
      Enshemesh, and went forth toward Geliloth, which [is] over
      against the going up of Adummim, and descended to the
      stone of Bohan the son of Reuben,

      (l) Which is in the tribe of Ephraim.

Joshua 18:19
18:19 And the border passed along to the side of Bethhoglah
      northward: and the outgoings of the border were at the
      north bay of the salt sea at the south {m} end of Jordan:
      this [was] the south coast.

      (m) To the very straight, where the river runs into the
          Salt sea.

Joshua 18:28
18:28 And Zelah, Eleph, and Jebusi, which [is] {n} Jerusalem,
      Gibeath, [and] Kirjath; fourteen cities with their
      villages. This [is] the inheritance of the children of
      Benjamin according to their families.

      (n) Which was not completely in the tribe of Benjamin, but
          part of it was also in the tribe of Judah.
