SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 18:11–28 The clan of Benjamin received their land

This section describes the boundaries of the land of Benjamin and the towns within it.

Here are some other possible section headings:

The land of the clan of Benjamin

Benjamin’s land

18:11a

The first lot came up for the clans of the tribe of Benjamin.

¶ The first lot went to the clan of Benjamin by its families.
¶ The first clan to be given land was the Benjamin clan and its families.

The first lot came up for the clans of the tribe of Benjamin: This sentence indicates that the first clan chosen by lot was the clan of Benjamin. Each family of Benjamin received some land. This verse is similar to Joshua 15:1.

Here are some other ways to translate this part of the verse:

The first lot belonged to the tribe of Benjamin by its clans (NET)

The first clan to receive land was the Benjamin clan and its families

18:11b

Their allotted territory lay between the tribes of Judah and Joseph:

The land they received was between the lands of the Judah clan and the Joseph clan.
The land given to them was between the land that the clans of Judah and Joseph had received.

Their allotted territory lay between the tribes of Judah and Joseph: This indicates that the land that the clan of Benjamin received was between the lands of the clans of Judah and Joseph. Judah’s land was to the south of Benjamin’s land. Joseph’s land was to the north of Benjamin’s land.

Here are some other ways to translate this part of the verse:

The land they received by lot was between the land of the Judah clan and the Joseph clan

The land assigned to them was between the land that the clans of Judah and Joseph had received

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

וַ⁠יַּ֗עַל גּוֹרַ֛ל מַטֵּ֥ה בְנֵֽי־בִנְיָמִ֖ן לְ⁠מִשְׁפְּחֹתָ֑⁠ם

(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_ascended lot_of tribe_of sons_of Binyāmīn to=their=clans and=he/it_went_out border their_lot_of,their between sons_of Yehuda and=between sons_of Yōşēf/(Joseph) )

The author assumes that readers will understand that he means the first lot, that is, the lot that assigned the first of these seven divisions of territory. You could indicate this explicitly in your translation if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [And when Joshua threw the lot, it selected the tribe of the sons of Benjamin according to their clans to receive the first division of the land the men had described]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

וַ⁠יֵּצֵא֙ גְּב֣וּל גּֽוֹרָלָ֔⁠ם

The author is using the term lot by association to mean the territory that was assigned by casting lots. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: [And the border of their assigned territory extended]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

בֵּ֚ין בְּנֵ֣י יְהוּדָ֔ה וּ⁠בֵ֖ין בְּנֵ֥י יוֹסֵֽף

The author is using the terms sons of Judah and sons of Joseph by association to mean the territories of these tribes. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: [between the territory of Judah’s descendants and the territory of Joseph’s descendants]
