Septuagint (Greek Old Testament), second edition
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.
1ΚΑΙ ἐξεκκλησιάσθη πᾶσα συναγωγὴ υἱῶν Ἰσραὴλ εἰς Σηλὼ καὶ ἔπηξαν ἐκεῖ τὴν σκηνὴν τοῦ μαρτυρίου, καὶ ἡ γῆ ἐκρατήθη ὑπ' αὐτῶν.
2Seven tribes remained among the children of Israel, which had not yet divided their inheritance.
2καὶ κατελείφθησαν οἱ υἱοὶ Ἰσραήλ, οἳ οὐκ ἐκληρονόμησαν, ἑπτὰ φυλαί.
3Joshua said to the children of Israel, “How long will you neglect to go in to possess the land, which the LORD, the God of your fathers, has given you?
3καὶ εἶπεν Ἰησοῦς τοῖς υἱοῖς Ἰσραήλ· ἕως τίνος ἐκλυθήσεσθε κληρονομῆσαι τὴν γῆν, ἣν ἔδωκε Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς ἡμῶν;
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; then they shall come to me.
4δότε ἐξ ὑμῶν ἄνδρας τρεῖς ἐκ φυλῆς, καὶ ἀναστάντες διελθέτωσαν τὴν γῆν καὶ διαγραψάτωσαν αὐτὴν ἐναντίον μου, καθὰ δεήσει διελεῖν αὐτήν (καὶ διήλθοσαν πρὸς αὐτόν,
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.
5καὶ διεῖλεν αὐτοῖς ἑπτὰ μερίδας). Ἰούδας στήσεται αὐτοῖς ὅριον ἀπὸ λιβός, καὶ οἱ υἱοὶ Ἰωσὴφ στήσονται αὐτοῖς ἀπὸ βορρᾶ.
6You shall survey the land into seven parts, and bring the description here to me; and I will cast lots for you here before the LORD our God.
6ὑμεῖς δὲ μερίσατε τὴν γῆν ἑπτὰ μερίδας καὶ ἐνέγκατε ὧδε πρός με, καὶ ἐξοίσω ὑμῖν κλῆρον ἔναντι Κυρίου τοῦ Θεοῦ ἡμῶν.
7However, the Levites have no portion among you; for the priesthood of the LORD is their inheritance. Gad, Reuben, and the half-tribe of Manasseh have received their inheritance east of the Jordan, which Moses the servant of the LORD gave them.”
7οὐ γάρ ἐστι μερὶς τοῖς υἱοῖς Λευὶ ἐν ὑμῖν, ἱερατεία γὰρ Κυρίου μερὶς αὐτοῦ· καὶ Γὰδ καὶ Ρουβὴν καὶ τὸ ἥμισυ φυλῆς Μανασσῆ ἐλάβοσαν τὴν κληρονομίαν αὐτῶν πέραν τοῦ Ἰορδάνου ἐπ' ἀνατολάς, ἣν ἔδωκεν αὐτοῖς Μωυσῆς ὁ παῖς Κυρίου.
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 the LORD in Shiloh.”
8καὶ ἀναστάντες οἱ ἄνδρες ἐπορεύθησαν, καὶ ἐνετείλατο Ἰησοῦς τοῖς ἀνδράσι τοῖς πορευομένοις χωροβατῆσαι τὴν γῆν λέγων· πορεύεσθε καὶ χωροβατήσατε τὴν γῆν καὶ παραγενήθητε πρός με, καὶ ὧδε ἐξοίσω ὑμῖν κλῆρον ἔναντι Κυρίου ἐν Σηλώ.
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.
9καὶ ἐπορεύθησαν καὶ ἐχωροβάτησαν τὴν γῆν καὶ εἴδοσαν αὐτὴν καὶ ἔγραψαν αὐτὴν κατὰ πόλεις, ἑπτὰ μερίδας εἰς βιβλίον, καὶ ἤνεγκαν πρὸς Ἰησοῦν.
10Joshua cast lots for them in Shiloh before the LORD. There Joshua divided the land to the children of Israel according to their divisions.
10καὶ ἐνέβαλεν αὐτοῖς Ἰησοῦς κλῆρον ἐν Σηλὼ ἔναντι Κυρίου.
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.
11Καὶ ἐξῆλθεν ὁ κλῆρος φυλῆς Βενιαμὶν πρῶτος κατὰ δήμους αὐτῶν, καὶ ἐξῆλθεν ὅρια τοῦ κλήρου αὐτῶν ἀνὰ μέσον υἱῶν Ἰούδα καὶ ἀνὰ μέσον τῶν υἱῶν Ἰωσήφ.
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.
12καὶ ἐγενήθη αὐτῶν τὰ ὅρια ἀπὸ βορρᾶ, ἀπὸ τοῦ Ἰορδάνου προσαναβήσεται τὰ ὅρια κατὰ νώτου Ἱεριχὼ ἀπὸ βορρᾶ καὶ ἀναβήσεται ἐπὶ τὸ ὄρος ἐπὶ τὴν θάλασσαν, καὶ ἔσται αὐτοῦ ἡ διέξοδος ἡ Μαβδαρῖτις Βαιθών,
13The 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.
13καὶ διελεύσεται ἐκεῖθεν τὰ ὅρια Λουζὰ ἐπὶ νώτου Λουζὰ ἀπὸ λιβὸς (αὕτη ἐστὶ Βαιθήλ), καὶ καταβήσεται τὰ ὅρια Μααταρωθορὲχ ἐπὶ τὴν ὀρεινήν, ἥ ἐστι πρὸς λίβα Βαιθωρὼν ἡ κάτω,
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 (also called Kiriath Jearim), a city of the children of Judah. This was the west quarter.
14καὶ διελεύσεται τὰ ὅρια καὶ περιελεύσεται ἐπὶ τὸ μέρος τὸ βλέπον παρὰ θάλασσαν ἀπὸ λιβὸς ἀπὸ τοῦ ὄρους ἐπὶ πρόσωπον Βαιθωρὼν λίβα, καὶ ἔσται αὐτοῦ ἡ διέξοδος εἰς Καριαθβάαλ (αὕτη ἐστὶ Καριαθιαρίν, πόλις υἱῶν Ἰούδα)· τοῦτό ἐστι τὸ μέρος τὸ πρὸς θάλασσαν.
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.
15καὶ μέρος τὸ πρὸς λίβα ἀπό μέρους Καριαθβάαλ, καὶ διελεύσεται ὅρια εἰς Γασὶν ἐπὶ πηγὴν ὕδατος Ναφθώ,
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.
16καὶ καταβήσεται τὰ ὅρια ἐπὶ μέρους τοῦ ὄρους, ὅ ἐστι κατὰ πρόσωπον νάπης Ὀννάμ, ὅ ἐστιν ἐκ μέρους Ἐμεκραφαΐν ἀπὸ βορρᾶ, καὶ καταβήσεται Γαίεννα ἐπὶ νῶτον Ἰεβουσαὶ ἀπὸ λιβὸς καὶ καταβήσεται ἐπὶ πηγὴν Ρωγὴλ
17It 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.
17καὶ διελεύσεται ἐπὶ πηγὴν Βαιθσαμὺς καὶ παρελεύσεται ἐπὶ Γαλιλώθ, ἥ ἐστιν ἀπέναντι πρὸς ἀνάβασαιν Αἰθαμίν, καὶ καταβήσεται ἐπὶ λίθον Βαιὼν υἱῶν Ρουβὴν
18It passed along to the side opposite the Arabah northward, and went down to the Arabah.
18καὶ διελεύσεται κατὰ νώτου Βαιθάραβα ἀπὸ βορρᾶ, καὶ καταβήσεται ἐπὶ τὰ ὅρια ἐπὶ νῶτον θάλασσαν ἀπὸ βορρᾶ,
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.
19καὶ ἔσται ἡ διέξοδος τῶν ὁρίων ἐπὶ λοφιὰν τῆς θαλάσσης τῶν ἁλῶν ἐπὶ βορρᾶν εἰς μέρος τοῦ Ἰορδάνου ἀπὸ λιβός· ταῦτα τὰ ὅριά ἐστιν ἀπὸ λιβός.
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.
20καὶ ὁ Ἰορδάνης ὁριεῖ ἀπὸ μέρους ἀνατολῶν. αὕτη ἡ κληρονομία υἱῶν Βενιαμίν, τὰ ὅρια αὐτῆς κύκλῳ κατὰ δήμους.
21Now the cities of the tribe of the children of Benjamin according to their families were Jericho, Beth Hoglah, Emek Keziz,
21καὶ ἐγενήθησαν αἱ πόλεις τῶν υἱῶν Βενιαμὶν κατὰ δήμους αὐτῶν Ἱεριχὼ καὶ Βεθεγαιὼ καὶ Ἀμεκασίς,
22Beth Arabah, Zemaraim, Bethel,
22καὶ Βαιθαβαρὰ καὶ Σαρὰ καὶ Βησανὰ
23Avvim, Parah, Ophrah,
23καὶ Αἰεὶν καὶ Φαρὰ καὶ Ἐφραθὰ
24Chephar Ammoni, Ophni, and Geba; twelve cities with their villages.
24καὶ Καραφὰ καὶ Κεφιρὰ καὶ Μονὶ καὶ Γαβαά, πόλεις δώδεκα καὶ αἱ κῶμαι αὐτῶν·
25Gibeon, Ramah, Beeroth,
25Γαβαὼν καὶ Ραμὰ καὶ Βεηρωθὰ

28Zelah, 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.
28καὶ Ἰεβοῦς (αὕτη ἐστὶν Ἱερουσαλὴμ) καὶ Γαβαωθιαρίμ, πόλεις δεκατρεῖς καὶ αἱ κῶμαι αὐτῶν. αὕτη ἡ κληρονομία υἱῶν Βενιαμὶν κατὰ δήμους αὐτῶν.
