¹The whole congregation of the children of Israel assembled themselves together at Shiloh, and set up the Tent of Meeting there. The land was subdued before them.

¹Hele Israeliternes Menighed kom sammen i Silo, og de rejste Åbenbaringsteltet der, da de nu havde underlagt sig Landet.

²Seven tribes remained among the children of Israel, which had not yet divided their inheritance.

²Men der var endnu syv Stammer tilbage af Israeliterne, som ikke havde fået deres Arvelod tildelt.

³Joshua said to the children of Israel, “How long will you neglect to go in to possess the land, which Yahweh, the God of your fathers, has given you?

³Josua sagde derfor til Israeliterne: "Hvor længe vil I endnu nøle med at drage hen og tage det Land i Besiddelse, som HERREN, eders Fædres Gud, har givet eder?

⁴Appoint for yourselves three men from each tribe. I will send them, and they shall arise, walk through the land, and describe it according to their inheritance; and they shall come to me.

⁴Udse eder tre Mænd af hver Stamme, som jeg kan udsende; de skal gøre sig rede og drage Landet rundt og affatte en Beskrivelse derover til Brug ved Fastsættelsen af deres Arvelod og så komme tilbage til mig.

⁵They shall divide it into seven portions. Judah shall live in his borders on the south, and the house of Joseph shall live in their borders on the north.

⁵De skal dele det i syv Dele; Juda skal beholde sit Område mod Syd og Josefs Slægt sit mod Nord.

⁶You shall survey the land into seven parts, and bring the description here to me; and I will cast lots for you here before Yahweh our God.

⁶Og I skal så affatte en Beskrivelse over Landet, delt i syv Dele, og bringe mig den; så vil jeg kaste Lod for eder her for HERREN vor Guds Åsyn.

⁷For the Levites have no portion among you; for the priesthood of Yahweh is their inheritance. Gad, Reuben, and the half-tribe of Manasseh have received their inheritance beyond the Jordan eastward, which Moses the servant of Yahweh gave them.”

⁷Thi Leviterne får ingen Del iblandt eder, da HERRENs Præstedømme er deres Arvelod; og Gad, Ruben og Manasses halve Stamme har på Jordans Østside fået deres Arvelod, som HERRENs Tjener Moses gav dem!"

⁸The men arose and went. Joshua commanded those who went to survey the land, saying, “Go walk through the land, survey it, and come again to me. I will cast lots for you here before Yahweh in Shiloh.”

⁸Da begav Mændene sig på Vej; og Josua bød de bortdragende affatte en Beskrivelse over Landet, idet han sagde: "Drag Landet rundt, affat en Beskrivelse over det og kom så tilbage til mig; så vil jeg kaste Lod for eder her for HERRENs Åsyn i Silo!"

⁹The men went and passed through the land, and surveyed it by cities into seven portions in a book. They came to Joshua to the camp at Shiloh.

⁹Så begav, Mændene sig på Vej og drog igennem Landet og affattede en Beskrivelse derover, By for By, i syv Dele; og derpå kom de tilbage til Josua i Lejren ved Silo.

¹⁰Joshua cast lots for them in Shiloh before Yahweh. There Joshua divided the land to the children of Israel according to their divisions.

¹⁰Men Josua kastede Lod for dem i Silo for HERRENs Åsyn og udskiftede der Landet til Israeliterne, Afdeling, for Afdeling.

¹¹The lot of the tribe of the children of Benjamin came up according to their families. The border of their lot went out between the children of Judah and the children of Joseph.

¹¹Da faldt Loddet for Benjaminiternes Stamme efter deres Slægter; og det Område, der blev deres Lod, kom til at ligge mellem Judas og Josefs Sønner.

¹²Their border on the north quarter was from the Jordan. The border went up to the side of Jericho on the north, and went up through the hill country westward. It ended at the wilderness of Beth Aven.

¹²Deres Nordgrænse begynder ved Jordan, og Grænsen strækker sig op til Bjergryggen norden for Jeriko og mod Vest op i Bjerglandet, så den ender i Bet-Avens Ørken;

¹³The border passed along from there to Luz, to the side of Luz (the same is Bethel), southward. The border went down to Ataroth Addar, by the mountain that lies on the south of Beth Horon the lower.

¹³derfra går Grænsen videre til Luz, til Bjergryggen sønden for Luz, det er Betel, og strækker sig ned til Atarot-Addar over Bjerget sønden for Nedre-Bet-Horon.

¹⁴The border extended, and turned around on the west quarter southward, from the mountain that lies before Beth Horon southward; and ended at Kiriath Baal (the same is Kiriath Jearim), a city of the children of Judah. This was the west quarter.

¹⁴Derpå bøjer Grænsen om og løber som Vestgrænse sydpå fra Bjerget lige sønden for Bet-Horon og ender ved Kirjat-Ba'al, det er den judæiske By Kirjat-Jearim; det er Vestgrænsen.

¹⁵The south quarter was from the farthest part of Kiriath Jearim. The border went out westward, and went out to the spring of the waters of Nephtoah.

¹⁵Sydgrænsen begynder ved Udkanten af Kirjat-Ba'al, og Grænsen går til Neftoas Vandkilde;

¹⁶The border went down to the farthest part of the mountain that lies before the valley of the son of Hinnom, which is in the valley of Rephaim northward. It went down to the valley of Hinnom, to the side of the Jebusite southward, and went down to En Rogel.

¹⁶derpå strækker den sig ned til Randen af Bjerget lige over for Hinnoms Søns dal norden for Refaimdalen og videre til Hinnoms Dal sønden om Jebusiternes Bjergryg og til Rogelkilden;

¹⁷It extended northward, went out at En Shemesh, and went out to Geliloth, which is over against the ascent of Adummim. It went down to the stone of Bohan the son of Reuben.

¹⁷så drejer den nordpå og fortsætter til Sjemesjkilden og videre til Gelilot lige over for Adummimpasset, derpå ned til Rubens Søn Bohans Sten

¹⁸It passed along to the side over against the Arabah northward, and went down to the Arabah.

¹⁸og går så videre til Bjergryggen norden for Bet-Araba og ned i Arabalavningen;

¹⁹The border passed along to the side of Beth Hoglah northward; and the border ended at the north bay of the Salt Sea, at the south end of the Jordan. This was the south border.

¹⁹så går den videre til bjergryggen norden for Bet-Hogla og ender norden for Salthavets Bugt ved Jordans Udløb; det er Sydgrænsen.

²⁰The Jordan was its border on the east quarter. This was the inheritance of the children of Benjamin, by the borders around it, according to their families.

²⁰Mod Øst danner Jordan Grænse. Det er Benjaminiternes Arvelod med dens Grænser efter deres Slægter.
