Note: This view shows ‘verses’ which are not natural language units and hence sometimes only part of a sentence will be visible. Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed for doing comparisons of different translations. Click on any Bible version abbreviation down the left-hand side to see the verse in more of its context. The OET segments on this page are still very early looks into the unfinished texts of the Open English Translation of the Bible. Please double-check these texts in advance before using in public.

KJB-1611 1 The Tabernacle is set vp at Shiloh. 2 The remainder of the land is described, and diuided into seuen parts. 10 Ioshua diuideth it by lot. 11 The lot and border of Beniamin. 21 Their cities.
(1 The Tabernacle is set up at Shiloh. 2 The remainder of the land is described, and divided into seven parts. 10 Yoshua diuideth it by lot. 11 The lot and border of Benyamin. 21 Their cities.)
This chapter continues the description of how Joshua divided up among the various tribes the land the Israelites conquered. It begins the description of how Joshua gave land west of the Jordan River to the remaining tribes of Israel:* Joshua sent men to survey and divide the remaining land (18:1–10)* Joshua assigned land to the tribe of Benjamin (18:11–28)
See Part 4 of the General Introduction to Joshua for a discussion of translation issues specific to the descriptions in Chapters 13–21 of territories and their borders. These issues include:1. The author uses the idea of “inheritance” to mean a lasting possession that would be passed down to future generations.2. The author marks travel for change in elevation. He says, for example, “went up” or “went down” rather than just “went.”3. The author describes the location of one place relative another in the way that is characteristic of his culture. Specifically, he says from what direction someone would be approaching a new location from a location he has already named.4. The author often says simply “the sea” when he means the Mediterranean Sea, which he calls the Great Sea when he names it.5. The author often uses the term “sea” by association to mean the direction of the Mediterranean Sea, that is, from his perspective, the west.6. Similarly, the author often uses the term “sunrise” by association to mean the direction in which the sun rises, that is, the east.7. All names in border descriptions and lists are the names of cities and towns unless otherwise indicated in the biblical text, in a note, or in the UST.
