¹In vsa občina Izraelovih sinov se je zbrala v Silu, in tu so razpeli shodni šator; in dežela je bila premagana pred njimi.

¹And all the company of the sons of Israel are assembled [at] Shiloh, and they cause the tent of meeting to tabernacle there, and the land hath been subdued before them.

²Bilo je pa še sedem rodov Izraelovih sinov, ki se jim še ni pridelila njih dediščina.

²And there are left among the sons of Israel who have not shared their inheritance, seven tribes,

³In Jozue reče Izraelovim sinovom: Doklej bodete leni, da ne pojdete si prilastit dežele, ki vam jo je dal GOSPOD, vaših očetov Bog?

³and Joshua saith unto the sons of Israel, `Till when are ye remiss to go in to possess the land which He hath given to you, Jehovah, God of your fathers?

⁴Določite si po tri može iz vsakega rodu, in hočem jih poslati, da vstanejo in preidejo deželo ter jo popišejo, kakor je treba za njih dediščine, in potem naj zopet pridejo k meni.

⁴Give for you three men for a tribe, and I send them, and they rise and go up and down through the land, and describe it according to their inheritance, and come in unto me,

⁵In naj razdelé deželo v sedem delov: Juda naj ostane v svoji pokrajini na jugu, in Jožefova hiša ostani v svoji pokrajini na severu.

⁵and they have divided it into seven portions — Judah doth stay by its border on the south, and the house of Joseph do stay by their border on the north —

⁶Vi pa napravite popis dežele v sedmih oddelkih in mi ga prinesite sem; in vržem za vas žreb tu pred GOSPODOM, Bogom našim.

⁶and ye describe the land [in] seven portions, and have brought [it] in unto me hither, and I have cast for you a lot here before Jehovah our God;

⁷Kajti leviti nimajo deleža med vami, temuč duhovska služba GOSPODU je njih dediščina; Gad in Ruben in polovica Manasejevega rodu so prejeli svoj del onostran Jordana proti vzhodu, kakor jim je dal Mojzes, hlapec GOSPODOV.

⁷for there is no portion to the Levites in your midst, for the priesthood of Jehovah [is] their inheritance, and Gad, and Reuben, and the half of the tribe of Manasseh received their inheritance beyond the Jordan eastward, which Moses servant of Jehovah gave to them.`

⁸Vstanejo torej tisti možje in se odpravijo. In Jozue jim zapove, ko hočejo iti popisovat deželo, rekoč: Pojdite ter prehodite deželo, in ko jo popišete, pridite zopet k meni, in vržem za vas tu, v Silu, žreb pred GOSPODOM.

⁸And the men rise and go; and Joshua commandeth those who are going to describe the land, saying, `Go, and walk up and down through the land, and describe it, and turn back unto me, and here I cast for you a lot before Jehovah in Shiloh.`

⁹In možje gredo ter obhodijo deželo in jo popišejo v knjigi po njenih mestih, v sedmih oddelkih, in pridejo k Jozuetu v tabor v Silo.

⁹And the men go, and pass over through the land, and describe it by cities, in seven portions, on a book, and they come in unto Joshua, unto the camp, [at] Shiloh.

¹⁰Tedaj vrže Jozue zanje žreb v Silu pred GOSPODOM in razdeli deželo med Izraelove sinove, vsakemu njegov del.

¹⁰And Joshua casteth for them a lot in Shiloh before Jehovah, and there Joshua apportioneth the land to the sons of Israel, according to their divisions.

¹¹In žreb je padel za rod Benjaminovih sinov po njih rodovinah, in pokrajina njih deleža je šla med Judovimi sinovi in med Jožefovimi sinovi.

¹¹And a lot goeth up [for] the tribe of the sons of Benjamin, for their families; and the border of their lot goeth out between the sons of Judah and the sons of Joseph.

¹⁹in meja je šla dalje ob strani Bethogle proti severu in se je končala pri severnem jeziku Slanega morja, ob južnem koncu Jordana. To je južna meja.
