| 2 ܘܐܫܬܚܪܘ ܡܢ ܒܢ̈ܝ ܐܝܣܪܝܠ ܕܠܐ ܦܠܓܘ ܝܪܬܘܬܗܘܢ ܫܒ̈ܛܐ ܫܒܥܐ | 2 But there remained seven tribes of the sons of Israel which had not yet received their possessions. |

| 4 ܓܒܘ ܠܟܘܢ ܬܠܬܐ ܬܠܬܐ ܓܒܪ̈ܝܢ ܡܢ ܫܒܛܐ ܘܐܫܕܪ ܐܢܘܢ ܘܢܩܘܡܘܢ ܘܢܗܠܟܘܢ ܒܐܪܥܐ ܘܢܟܬܒܘܢܗ̇ ܠܦܘܬ ܝܪܬܘܬܗܘܢ ܘܢܐܬܘܢ ܠܘܬܝ | 4 Select three men from each tribe, so that I may send them, and they may go forth and circle through the land, and may describe it according to the number of each multitude, and may bring back to me what they have written down. |

Instead, the priesthood of the Lord is their inheritance. And Gad and Reuben, and the one half tribe of Manasseh, have already received their possessions beyond the Jordan in the eastern region, which Moses, the servant of the Lord, gave to them.” |

| 9 ܘܐܙܠܘ ܓܒܪ̈ܐ ܘܥܒܪܘ ܒܐܪܥܐ ܘܟܬܒܘ ܐܢܝ̈ܢ ܠܩܘܪ̈ܝܐ ܫܒܥ ܦ̈ܠܓܘܢ ܥܠ ܡܓܠܬܐ ܘܐܬܘ ܠܘܬ ܝܫܘܥ ܠܫܝܠܘ ܡܕܝܢܬܐ | 9 And so they went out. And surveying it, they divided it into seven parts, writing it in a book. And they returned to Joshua, to the camp at Shiloh. |
| 10 ܘܐܪܡܝܘ ܠܗܘܢ ܦܨ̈ܐ ܒܫܝܠܘ ܩܕܡ ܡܪܝܐ ܘܦܠܓܗ̇ ܬܡܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܠܐܪܥܐ ܠܒܢ̈ܝ ܐܝܣܪܝܠ ܒܦܠܓܘ̈ܬܐ | 10 And he cast lots before the Lord, at Shiloh, and he divided the land to the sons of Israel, in seven parts. |

And its exits are toward Kiriath-baal, which is also called Kiriath-jearim, a city of the sons of Judah. This is their region, toward the sea, in the west. |

And it is opposite the northern region, in the furthest part of the Valley of the Rephaim. And it descends into Geennom, (that is, the Valley of Hinnom,) near the side of the Jebusite toward the south. And it extends to the Fountain of Rogel, |
| 17 ܘܚ̇ܐܪ ܡܢ ܓܪܒܝܐ ܘܢ̇ܦܩ ܠܡܒܘܥܐ ܕܫܡܫ ܘܢ̇ܦܩ ܥܠ ܓܠܝܠܐ ܕܠܘܩܒܠ ܡܣܩܢܐ ܕܪܡܝܢ ܘܢ̇ܚܬ ܠܠܒܢ ܘܠܒܗܢ ܕܒܪܗ ܕܪܘܒܝܠ | 17 crossing from there to the north, and going out to En-Shemesh, that is, to the Fountain of the Sun. |
| 18 ܘܥ̇ܒܪ ܥܠ ܣܛܪܐ ܕܠܘܩܒܠ ܦܩܥܬܐ ܡܢ ܓܪܒܝܐ ܘܢ̇ܚܬ ܠܦܩܥܬܐ | 18 And it passes through to the hills that are opposite the region of the Ascent of Adummim. And it descends to Abenboen, that is, so the stone of Bohan, the son of Reuben. And it continues on, at the northern side, to the plains. And it descends into the flatlands. |
| 19 ܘܥ̇ܒܪ ܬܚܘܡܐ ܥܠ ܣܛܪܐ ܕܒܝܬ ܚܓܠܐ ܡܢ ܓܪܒܝܐ ܘܗ̇ܘܝܢ ܡܦܩ̈ܢܘܗܝ ܕܬܚܘܡܐ ܥܠ ܠܫܢܐ ܕܝܡܐ ܕܡܠܚܐ ܡܢ ܓܪܒܝܐ ܘܥܠ ܣܦܪ̈ܘܗܝ ܕܝܘܪܕܢܢ ܡܢ ܬܝܡܢܐ ܗܢܐ ܗܘ ܬܚܘܡܐ ܕܬܝܡܢܐ | 19 And it advances before Beth-hoglah, to the north. And its exits are to the north, opposite the bay of the very salty sea, in the southern region at the end of the Jordan, |
