LXX Brenton's Greek Septuagint

WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)

1 Καὶ ἐξεκκλησιάσθη πᾶσα συναγωγὴ υἱῶν Ἰσραὴλ εἰς Σηλὼ, καὶ ἔπηξαν ἐκεῖ τὴν σκηνὴν τοῦ μαρτυρίου· καὶ ἡ γῆ ἐκρατήθη ὑπʼ αὐτῶν.

1 The 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.

2 Καὶ κατελείφθησαν οἱ υἱοὶ Ἰσραὴλ, οἳ οὐκ ἐκληρονόμησαν, ἑπτὰ φυλαί.

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

3 Καὶ εἶπεν Ἰησοῦς τοῖς υἱοῖς Ἰσραὴλ, ἕως τίνος ἐκλυθήσεσθε κληρονομῆσαι τὴν γῆν, ἣν ἔδωκε Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς ἡμῶν;

3 Joshua 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?

4 Δότε ἐξ ὑμῶν ἄνδρας τρεῖς ἐκ φυλῆς, καὶ ἀναστάντες διελθέτωσαν τὴν γῆν, καὶ διαγραψάτωσαν αὐτὴν ἐναντίον μου, καθὰ δεήσει διελεῖν αὐτήν. Καὶ διέλθοσαν πρὸς αὐτόν·

4 Appoint 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; then they shall come to me.

5 καὶ διεῖλεν αὐτοῖς ἑπτὰ μερίδας· Ἰούδας στήσεται αὐτοῖς ὅριον ἀπὸ Λιβὸς, καὶ οἱ υἱοὶ Ἰωσὴφ στήσονται αὐτοῖς ἀπὸ Βοῤῥᾶ.

5 They 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.

6 Ὑμεῖς δὲ μερίσατε τὴν γῆν ἑπτὰ μερίδας, καὶ ἐνέγκατε ὧδε πρὸς μὲ, καὶ ἐξοίσω ὑμῖν κλῆρον ἔναντι Κυρίου τοῦ Θεοῦ ἡμῶν.

6 You 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.

7 Οὐ γάρ ἐστι μερὶς τοῖς υἱοῖς Λευὶ ἐν ὑμῖν· ἱερατεία γὰρ Κυρίου μερὶς αὐτοῦ· καὶ Γὰδ καὶ Ῥουβὴν καὶ τὸ ἥμισυ φυλῆς Μανασσῆ ἐλάβοσαν τὴν κληρονομίαν αὐτῶν πέραν τοῦ Ἰορδάνου ἐπʼ ἀνατολῆς, ἣν ἔδωκεν αὐτοῖς Μωυσῆς ὁ παῖς Κυρίου.

7 However, 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 east of the Jordan, which Moses the servant of Yahweh gave them.”

8 Καὶ ἀναστάντες οἱ ἄνδρες ἐπορεύθησαν· καὶ ἐνετείλατο Ἰησοῦς τοῖς ἀνδράσι τοῖς πορευομένοις χωροβατῆσαι τὴν γῆν, λέγων, πορεύεσθε καὶ χωροβατήσατε τὴν γῆν, καὶ παραγενήθητε πρὸς μὲ, καὶ ὧδε ἐξοίσω ὑμῖν κλῆρον ἔναντι Κυρίου ἐν Σηλώ.

8 The 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.”

9 Καὶ ἐπορεύθησαν, καὶ ἐχωροβάτησαν τὴν γῆν· καὶ εἴδοσαν αὐτὴν, καὶ ἔγραψαν αὐτὴν κατὰ πόλεις, ἑπτα μερίδας εἰς βιβλίον, καὶ ἤνεγκαν πρὸς Ἰησοῦν.

9 The 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.

10 Καὶ ἐνέβαλεν αὐτοῖς Ἰησοῦς κλῆρον ἐν Σηλὼ ἔναντι Κυρίου.

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

11 Καὶ ἐξῆλθεν ὁ κλῆρος φυλῆς Βενιαμὶν πρῶτος κατὰ δήμους αὐτῶν· καὶ ἐξῆλθεν ὅρια τοῦ κλήρου αὐτῶν ἀναμέσον υἱῶν Ἰούδα καὶ ἀναμέσον τῶν υἱῶν Ἰωσήφ.

11 The 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.

12 Καὶ ἐγενήθη αὐτῶν τὰ ὅρια ἀπὸ Βοῤῥᾶ· ἀπὸ τοῦ Ἱορδάνου προσαναβήσεται τὰ ὅρια κατὰ νὼτου Ἱεριχὼ ἀπὸ Βοῤῥᾶ, καὶ ἀναβήσεται ἐπὶ τὸ ὄρος ἐπὶ τὴν θάλασσαν, καὶ ἔσται αὐτοῦ ἡ διέξοδος ἡ Μαβδαρίτις Βαιθών.

12 Their 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.

13 Καὶ διελεύσεται ἐκεῖθεν τὰ ὅρια Λοῦζὰ ἐπὶ νώτου Λουζὰ ἀπὸ Λιβὸς αὐτῆς· αὕτη ἐστὶ Βαιθήλ· καὶ καταβήσεται τὰ ὅρια Μααταρὼβ Ὀρὲχ ἐπὶ τὴν ὀρεινὴν, ἥ ἐστι πρὸς Λίβα Βαιθωρὼν ἡ κάτω.

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

14 Καὶ διελεύσεται τὰ ὅρια καὶ παρελεύσεται ἐπὶ τὸ μέρος τὸ βλέπον παρὰ θάλασσαν ἀπὸ Λιβὸς ἀπὸ τοῦ ὄρους ἐπὶ πρόσωπον Βαιθωρὼν Λίβα· καὶ ἔσται αὐτοῦ ἡ διέξοδος εἰς Καριὰθ Βαάλ· αὕτη ἐστὶ Καριαθιαρὶν, πόλις υἱῶν Ἰούδα· τοῦτό ἐστι τὸ μέρος τὸ πρὸς θάλασσαν.

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

15 Καὶ μέρος τὸ πρὸς Λίβα ἀπὸ μέρους Καριὰθ Βαάλ· καὶ διελεύσεται ὅρια εἰς Γασὶν, ἐπὶ πηγὴν ὕδατος Ναφθώ.

15 The 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.

16 Καὶ καταβήσεται τὰ ὅρια ἐπὶ μέρους, τοῦτό ἐστι κατὰ πρόσωπον νάπης Σοννὰμ, ὅ ἐστιν ἐκ μέρους Ἐμὲκ Ῥαφαῒν ἀπὸ Βοῤῥᾶ, καὶ καταβήσεται Γαίεννα ἐπὶ νῶτον Ἰεβουσαὶ ἀπὸ Λιβός· καταβήσεται ἐπὶ πηγὴν Ῥωγήλ·

16 The 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.

17 Καὶ διελεύσεται ἐπὶ πηγὴν Βαιθσαμύς· καὶ παρελεύσεται ἐπὶ Γαλιλὼθ, ἥ ἐστιν ἀπέναντι πρὸς ἀνάβασις Αἰθαμίν· καὶ καταβήσεται ἐπὶ λίθον Βαιὼν υἱῶν Ῥουβήν·

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

18 καὶ διελεύσεται κατὰ νώτου Βαιθάραβα ἀπὸ Βοῤῥᾶ, καὶ καταβήσεται ἐπὶ τὰ ὅρια ἐπὶ νῶτον θάλασσαν ἀπὸ Βοῤῥᾶ.

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

19 Καὶ ἔσται ἡ διέξοδος τῶν ὁρίων ἐπὶ λοφιὰν τῆς θαλάσσης τῶν ἁλῶν ἐπὶ Βοῤῥᾶν εἰς μέρος τοῦ Ἰορδάνου ἀπὸ Λιβός· ταῦτα τὰ ὅριά ἐστιν ἀπὸ Λιβός.

19 The 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.

20 Καὶ ὁ Ἰορδάνης ὁριεῖ ἀπὸ μέρους ἀνατολῶν· αὕτη ἡ κληρονομία υἱῶν Βενιαμὶν, τὰ ὅρια αὐτῆς κύκλῳ κατὰ δήμους.

20 The 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.

21 Καὶ ἐγενήθησαν αἱ πόλεις τῶν υιῶν Βενιαμὶν κατὰ δήμους αὐτῶν Ἱερειχὼ, καὶ Βεθεγαιὼ, καὶ Ἀμεκασὶς,

21 Now the cities of the tribe of the children of Benjamin according to their families were Jericho, Beth Hoglah, Emek Keziz,

22 καὶ Βαιθαβαρὰ, καὶ Σαρὰ, καὶ Βησανὰ,

22 Beth Arabah, Zemaraim, Bethel,

28 καὶ Ἰηβοῦς· αὕτη ἐστὶν Ἱερουσαλήμ· καὶ Γαβαὼθ, Ἰαρὶμ, πόλεις δεκατρεῖς, καὶ αἱ κῶμαι αὐτῶν· αὕτη ἡ κληρονομία υἱῶν Βενιαμὶν κατὰ δήμους αὐτῶν.

28 Zelah, Eleph, the Jebusite (also called Jerusalem), Gibeath, and Kiriath; fourteen cities with their villages. This is the inheritance of the children of Benjamin according to their families.
