Joshua 18: 11-20 Lot Children of Benjamin NKJV


Joshua 18: 11-20 Now 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.

Their 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.

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

Then the border extended around the west side to the south, from the hill that lies before Beth Horan southward; and it ended at Kirjath Baal (which is Kirjath Jearim), a city of the children of Judah. This was the west side.

The south side began at the end of Kirjath Jearim, and the border extended on the west and went out to the spring of the waters of Nephtoah.

Then the border came down tot he end of the mountain that lies before the Valley of the Son of Hinnom, which is the Valley of the Rephaim on the north, descended to the Valley of Hinnom, to the side of the Jebusite city on the south, and descended to En Rogel.

And it went around from the north, went out to En Shemesh, and extended toward Geliloth, which is before the Ascent of Adummin, and descended to the stone of Bohan the son of Reuben.

Then it passed along toward the north side of Arabah, and went down to Arabah.

And the border passed along to the north side of Beth Hoglah; then the border ended at the north bay at the Salt Sea, at the south end of the Jordan, This was the southern boundary.

The Jordan was its border on the east side. This weas the inheritance of the children of Benjamin, according to its boundaries all around, according to their families.

Judges 1:21 But the children of Benjamin did not drive out the Jebusites who inhabited Jerusalem; so the Jebusites dwell with the children of Benjamin in Jerusalem to this day.

Joshua 16:1-4 The lot fell to the children of Joseph from the Jordan, by Jericho, to the waters of Jericho on the east, to the wilderness that goes up from Jericho through the mountains to Bethel,

then went out from Bethel to Luz, passed along to the border of the Archites at Ataroth,

and went down westward to the boundary of the Japhletites, as far as the boundary of Lower Beth Horon to Gezer; and it ended at the sea.

So the children of Joseph, Manasseh and Ephraim, took their inheritance.

Genesis 28:18-22 Then Jacob rose early in the morning, and took the stone that he had put at his head, set it up as pillar, and poured oil on top of it.

And he called the name of that place Bethel; but the name of that city had been Luz previously.

Then Jacob made a vow, saying, "if God will be with me, and keep me in this way that I am going, and give me bread to eat and clothing to put on,

"so that I come back to my father's house in peace, then the LORD shall be my God.

"And this stone which I have set as a pillar shall be God's house, and of all that You give me I will surely give a tenth to You."

Joshua 15:1-9 So this was the lot of the tribe of the children of Judah according to their families; The border of Edom at the Wilderness of Zin southward was the extreme southern boundary.

And their southern border began at the shore of the Salt Sea, from the bay that faces southward.

Then it went out to the southern side of the Ascent of Akrabbin, passed along to Zin, ascended on the south side of Kadesh Barnea, passed along to Hezron, went up to Adar, and went around to Karkaa.

From there it passed toward Azmon and went out to the Brook of Egypt; and the border ended at the sea. This shall be your southern border.

The east border was the Salt Sea as far as the mouth of the Jordan. And the border on the northern quarter began at the bay of the sea at the mouth of the Jordan.

The border went up to Beth Hoglah and passed north of Beth Arabah; and the border went up to the stone of Bohan the son of Reuben.

Then the border went up toward Debir from the Valley of Achor, and it turned northward toward Gilgal, which is before the Ascent of Adummin, which is on the south side of the valley. The border continued toward the waters of En Shemesh and ended at En Rogel.

And the border went up by the Valley of the Son of Hinnon to the southern slope of the Jebusite city (which is Jerusalem). The border went up  to the top of the mountain that lies before  before the Valley of Hinnon westward, which is at the end of the Valley of Rephaim northward.

Then the border went around from the top of the hill to the fountain of the water of Nephtoah, and extended to the cities of Mount Ephron. And the border went around to Baalah (which is Kirjath Jearim).
