Joshua 18:17-28 English Standard Version (ESV)

17. Then it bends in a northerly direction going on to En-shemesh, and from there goes to Geliloth, which is opposite the ascent of Adummim. Then it goes down to the stone of Bohan the son of Reuben,

18. and passing on to the north of the shoulder of Beth-arabah it goes down to the Arabah.

19. Then the boundary passes on to the north of the shoulder of Beth-hoglah. And the boundary ends at the northern bay of the Salt Sea, at the south end of the Jordan: this is the southern border.

20. The Jordan forms its boundary on the eastern side. This is the inheritance of the people of Benjamin, according to their clans, boundary by boundary all around.

21. Now the cities of the tribe of the people of Benjamin according to their clans were Jericho, Beth-hoglah, Emek-keziz,

22. Beth-arabah, Zemaraim, Bethel,

23. Avvim, Parah, Ophrah,

24. Chephar-ammoni, Ophni, Geba—twelve cities with their villages:

25. Gibeon, Ramah, Beeroth,

26. Mizpeh, Chephirah, Mozah,

27. Rekem, Irpeel, Taralah,

28. Zela, Haeleph, Jebus (that is, Jerusalem), Gibeah and Kiriath-jearim—fourteen cities with their villages. This is the inheritance of the people of Benjamin according to its clans.
