Josue 18

Studie

   

1 At ang buong kapisanan ng mga anak ni Israel ay nagpupulong sa Silo, at itinayo ang tabernakulo ng kapisanan doon: at ang lupain ay sumuko sa harap nila.

2 At nalabi sa mga anak ni Israel ay pitong lipi na hindi pa nababahaginan ng kanilang mana.

3 At sinabi ni Josue sa mga anak ni Israel, Hanggang kailan magpapakatamad kayo upang pasukin ninyong ariin ang lupain na ibinigay sa inyo ng Panginoon, ng Dios ng inyong mga magulang?

4 Maghalal kayo sa inyo ng tatlong lalake sa bawa't lipi: at aking susuguin, at sila'y babangon at lalakad sa lupain, at iguguhit ayon sa kanilang mana; at sila'y paririto sa akin.

5 At kanilang babahagihin ng pitong bahagi: ang Juda ay mananahan sa hangganan niyaon na dakong timugan, at ang sangbahayan ni Jose ay mananahan sa kanilang hangganan sa dakong hilagaan.

6 At inyong iguguhit ang lupain ng pitong bahagi, at inyong dadalhin ang pagkaguhit dito sa akin: at aking ipagsasapalaran dito sa inyo sa harap ng Panginoon natin Dios;

7 Sapagka't ang mga Levita ay walang bahagi sa gitna ninyo; sapagka't ang pagkasaserdote sa Panginoon ay siyang kanilang mana: at ang Gad, at ang Ruben at ang kalahating lipi ni Manases ay tumanggap na ng kanilang mana sa dako roon ng Jordan na dakong silanganan, na ibinigay sa kanila ni Moises na lingkod ng Panginoon.

8 At ang mga lalake ay tumindig at yumaon: at ibinilin sa kanila ni Josue na yumaong iguhit ang lupain, na sinasabi, Yumaon kayo at lakarin ninyo ang lupain at iguhit ninyo at bumalik kayo sa akin, at aking ipagsasapalaran sa inyo dito sa harap ng Panginoon sa Silo.

9 At ang mga lalake ay yumaon at nilakad ang lupain, at iginuhit sa isang aklat ayon sa mga bayan na pitong bahagi, at sila'y naparoon kay Josue sa kampamento sa Silo.

10 At ipinagsapalaran ni Josue sa kanila sa Silo sa harap ng Panginoon; at binahagi roon ni Josue ang lupain sa mga anak ni Israel ayon sa kanilang mga bahagi.

11 At ang kapalaran ng lipi ng mga anak ni Benjamin ay lumabas ayon sa kanilang mga angkan: at ang hangganan ng kanilang kapalaran ay palabas sa pagitan ng mga anak ni Juda at ng mga anak ni Jose.

12 At ang kanilang hangganan sa hilagaang sulok ay mula sa Jordan; at ang hangganan ay pasampa sa dako ng Jerico sa hilagaan, at pasampa sa lupaing maburol na dakong kalunuran; at ang labasan niyaon ay sa ilang ng Beth-aven.

13 At ang hangganan ay patuloy mula roon hanggang sa Luz, sa dako ng Luz (na siyang Beth-el), na dakong timugan; at ang hangganan ay pababa sa Ataroth-addar, sa tabi ng bundok na dumudoon sa timugan ng Beth-horon sa ibaba.

14 At ang hangganan ay patuloy at paliko sa kalunurang sulok na dakong timugan mula sa bundok na nakalatag sa harap ng Beth-horon na dakong timugan, at ang mga labasan niyaon ay sa Chiriath-baal (na siyang Chiriath-jearim), na bayan ng mga anak ni Juda: ito ang kalunurang sulok.

15 At ang timugang sulok ay mula sa kahulihulihang bahagi ng Chiriath-jearim at ang hangganan ay palabas sa dakong kalunuran, at palabas sa bukal ng tubig ng Nephtoa:

16 At ang hangganan ay pababa sa kahulihulihang bahagi ng bundok na nakalatag sa harap ng libis ng anak ni Hinnom, na nasa libis ng Rephaim na dakong hilagaan; at pababa sa libis ni Hinnom, sa dako ng Jebuseo na dakong timugan at pababa sa En-rogel;

17 At paabot sa hilagaan at palabas sa En-semes, at palabas sa Geliloth na nasa tapat ng pagsampa sa Adummim; at pababa sa bato ng Bohan na anak ni Ruben,

18 At patuloy sa tagiliran na tapat ng Araba sa dakong hilagaan, at pababa sa Araba;

19 At ang hangganan ay patuloy sa tabi ng Beth-hogla na dakong hilagaan, at ang labasan ng hangganan ay sa hilagaang dagat-dagatan ng Dagat na Alat, sa timugang dulo ng Jordan; ito ang timugang hangganan.

20 At ang Jordan ay hangganan niyaon sa sulok na silanganan. Ito ang mana ng mga anak ni Benjamin ayon sa mga hangganan niyaon sa palibot, ayon sa kanilang mga angkan.

21 Ang mga bayan nga ng lipi ng mga anak ni Benjamin ayon sa kanilang mga angkan ay Jerico, at Beth-hogla, at Emec-casis:

22 At Beth-araba, at Samaraim, at Beth-el,

23 At Avim, at Para, at Ophra,

24 At Cephar-hammonai, at Ophni, at Gaba, labing dalawang bayan pati ng mga nayon ng mga yaon.

25 Gabaon, at Rama, at Beeroth,

26 At Mizpe, at Chephira, at Moza;

27 At Recoem, at Irpeel, at Tarala;

28 At Sela, Eleph, at Jebus (na siyang Jerusalem), Gibeath, at Chiriath; labing apat na bayan pati ng mga nayon ng mga yaon. Ito ang mana ng mga anak ni Benjamin ayon sa kanilang mga angkan.

4556. 'And Jacob came to Luz which is in the land of Canaan' means the natural as it was in the previous state, while 'that is, Bethel' means the Divine Natural. This is clear from the meaning of 'Luz' as the natural as it was in the previous state, that is, the actual natural which was human. But this was made Divine, and that is the meaning of 'that is, Bethel'; for 'Bethel' is the Divine Natural, see 4089, 4539. This also explains why, when Bethel is referred to by name elsewhere in the Word, the expression 'Luz, that is, Bethel' or 'Bethel, formerly Luz' is used, as in Joshua,

The boundary of the lot of the children of Benjamin between the children of Judah and the children of Joseph went out to Luz, to the side of Luz southwards, that is, Bethel. Joshua 18:13.

And in the Book of Judges,

The house of Joseph went up to Bethel and spied out Bethel; and the name of the city formerly was Luz. Judges 1:23.

Joshua 18

Studie

   

1 The whole congregation of the children of Israel assembled themselves together at Shiloh, and set up the Tent of Meeting there. The land was subdued before them.

2 Seven tribes remained among the children of Israel, which had not yet divided their inheritance.

3 Joshua said to the children of Israel, "How long will you neglect to go in to possess the land, which Yahweh, the God of your fathers, has given you?

4 Appoint for yourselves three men from each tribe. I will send them, and they shall arise, walk through the land, and describe it according to their inheritance; and they shall come to me.

5 They shall divide it into seven portions. Judah shall live in his borders on the south, and the house of Joseph shall live in their borders on the north.

6 You shall survey the land into seven parts, and bring the description here to me; and I will cast lots for you here before Yahweh our God.

7 For the Levites have no portion among you; for the priesthood of Yahweh is their inheritance. Gad, Reuben, and the half-tribe of Manasseh have received their inheritance beyond the Jordan eastward, which Moses the servant of Yahweh gave them."

8 The men arose and went. Joshua commanded those who went to survey the land, saying, "Go walk through the land, survey it, and come again to me. I will cast lots for you here before Yahweh in Shiloh."

9 The men went and passed through the land, and surveyed it by cities into seven portions in a book. They came to Joshua to the camp at Shiloh.

10 Joshua cast lots for them in Shiloh before Yahweh. There Joshua divided the land to the children of Israel according to their divisions.

11 The lot of the tribe of the children of Benjamin came up according to their families. The border of their lot went out between the children of Judah and the children of Joseph.

12 Their border on the north quarter was from the Jordan. The border went up to the side of Jericho on the north, and went up through the hill country westward. It ended at the wilderness of Beth Aven.

13 The border passed along from there to Luz, to the side of Luz (the same is Bethel), southward. The border went down to Ataroth Addar, by the mountain that lies on the south of Beth Horon the lower.

14 The border extended, and turned around on the west quarter southward, from the mountain that lies before Beth Horon southward; and ended at Kiriath Baal (the same is Kiriath Jearim), a city of the children of Judah. This was the west quarter.

15 The south quarter was from the farthest part of Kiriath Jearim. The border went out westward, and went out to the spring of the waters of Nephtoah.

16 The border went down to the farthest part of the mountain that lies before the valley of the son of Hinnom, which is in the valley of Rephaim northward. It went down to the valley of Hinnom, to the side of the Jebusite southward, and went down to En Rogel.

17 It extended northward, went out at En Shemesh, and went out to Geliloth, which is over against the ascent of Adummim. It went down to the stone of Bohan the son of Reuben.

18 It passed along to the side over against the Arabah northward, and went down to the Arabah.

19 The border passed along to the side of Beth Hoglah northward; and the border ended at the north bay of the Salt Sea, at the south end of the Jordan. This was the south border.

20 The Jordan was its border on the east quarter. This was the inheritance of the children of Benjamin, by the borders around it, according to their families.

21 Now the cities of the tribe of the children of Benjamin according to their families were Jericho, Beth Hoglah, Emek Keziz,

22 Beth Arabah, Zemaraim, Bethel,

23 Avvim, Parah, Ophrah,

24 Chephar Ammoni, Ophni, and Geba; twelve cities with their villages.

25 Gibeon, Ramah, Beeroth,

26 Mizpeh, Chephirah, Mozah,

27 Rekem, Irpeel, Taralah,

28 Zelah, Eleph, the Jebusite (the same is Jerusalem), Gibeath, and Kiriath; fourteen cities with their villages. This is the inheritance of the children of Benjamin according to their families.
