Joshua 18:9-15 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

9. So they went through the land, described its cities in writing in seven sections, and returned to Joshua in the camp at Shiloh.

10. Joshua then cast lots for them before the Lord in Shiloh, and divided up the land for the Israelites into their separate shares.

11. One lot fell to the tribe of Benjaminites by their clans. The territory allotted them lay between the descendants of Judah and those of Joseph.

12. Their northern boundary began at the Jordan and went over the northern flank of Jericho, up westward into the mountains, until it reached the wilderness of Beth-aven.

13. From there it crossed over to the southern flank of Luz (that is, Bethel). Then it ran down to Ataroth-addar, on the mountaintop south of Lower Beth-horon.

14. For the western border, the boundary line swung south from the mountaintop opposite Beth-horon until it reached Kiriath-baal (that is, Kiriath-jearim; this city belonged to the Judahites). This was the western boundary.

15. The southern boundary began at the limits of Kiriath-jearim and projected to the spring at Nephtoah.
