Deuteronomy 17

Amplified Bible, 2015 (AMP)

Switch Version:

¹ The southern side was from the edge of Kiriath-jearim, and the border went on westward and went to the source of the waters of Nephtoah.

² Then the border went down to the edge of the hill overlooking the Valley of Ben-hinnom (son of Hinnom), which is at the north end of the Valley of Rephaim; and it descended to the Valley of Hinnom, south to the slope of the Jebusite, and went on down to En-rogel.

³ Then it turned toward the north and went on to En-shemesh and on to Geliloth, which is opposite the ascent of Adummim, and it went down to the stone of Bohan the son of Reuben.

⁴ It continued to the north to the side opposite [Beth-] Arabah and went down to the Arabah.

⁵ The border continued along to the north of the slope of Beth-hoglah; and the border ended at the northern bay of the Salt (Dead) Sea, at the south end of the Jordan. This was the southern border.

⁶ And the Jordan River was its border on the east side. This was the inheritance of the sons of Benjamin, according to their families and according to its borders all around.

⁷ Now the cities of the tribe of the sons of Benjamin according to their families were Jericho and Beth-hoglah and Emek-keziz,

⁸ and Beth-arabah and Zemaraim and Bethel,

⁹ and Avvim and Parah and Ophrah,

¹⁰ and Chephar-ammoni and Ophni and Geba; twelve cities with their villages;

¹¹ Gibeon and Ramah and Beeroth,

¹² and Mizpeh and Chephirah and Mozah,

¹³ and Rekem and Irpeel and Taralah,

¹⁴ and Zelah, Haeleph and the Jebusite (that is, Jerusalem), Gibeah, Kiriath; fourteen cities with their villages. This is the inheritance of [the tribe of] the sons of Benjamin according to their families (clans).

¹⁵ Then the second lot fell to Simeon, to the tribe of the sons of Simeon according to their families (clans), and their inheritance was within the inheritance of the sons of Judah.

¹⁶ So they had as their inheritance Beersheba or Sheba and Moladah,

¹⁷ and Hazar-shual and Balah and Ezem,

¹⁸ and Eltolad and Bethul and Hormah,

¹⁹ and Ziklag and Beth-marcaboth and Hazar-susah,

²⁰ and Beth-lebaoth and Sharuhen; thirteen cities with their villages;
