11 The tribe of Benyamin won the first draw and the area for their clans was between the land assigned to Yehudah (Judah) and that assigned to Efrayim (Ephraim) and Menasheh (Manasseh). 12 Their northern border went from the Yarden (Jordan) then to the northern side of Yeriho (Jericho) and up into the hill country to the west, coming out in the wilderness at Beyt-Aven. 13 Then it went across towards Luz (now called Beyt-El (Bethel)) to the southern edge then downhill towards Atrot-Adar beside the hill south of lower Beyt-Horon. 14 Then the western border turned from that hill and went south, coming out at Kiryat-Ba’al (also called Kiryat-Yearim—a town belonging to Yehudah) thus forming the western side. 15 The southern border went west from Kiryat-Yearim to the spring at Neftoah, 16 then downhill to the Ben-Hinom valley (in the valley of the Refaim to the north) then downhill to Hinom valley to the edge of the Yevusim and downhill to Eyn-Rogel. 17 Then it turned northward and went west to Eyn-Shemesh and across to Gelilot opposite the Adumim pass, before going downhill to the Stone of Bohan (Re’uven’s son). 18 It extended over to the northern slope of the Yarden valley and then downhill into the actual valley. 19 It then went east to the northern slope of Beyt-Hoglah before coming out at the north end of the Dead Sea (also called the Salt Sea) where the Yarden river flows into it. That was the southern boundary 20 and the Yarden borders it on the east. Those were the borders of Benyamin’s descendants’ inheritance according to their clans.

21 The cities allocated to Benyamin’s descendants and their clans were: Yeriho (Jericho), Beyt-Hoglah, Emek-Ketsits, 22 Beyt-Ha’aravah, Tsemarayim, Beyt-El (Bethel), 23 Avim, Parah, Ofrah, 24 Kefar-Ha’amoni, Ofni, and Geva—a total of twelve cities as well as their surrounding villages. 25 Also Giveon, Ramah, Be’erot, 26 Mitspah, Kefirah, Motsah, 27 Rekem, Yirpe’el, Tar’alah, 28 Tsela, Haelef, Yevus (now called Yerushalem (Jerusalem)), Giveah, and Kiryat—a total of fourteen cities as well as their surrounding villages. Those were Benyamin’s descendants’ inheritance according to their clans.
