Joshua 13
- 1Now Joshua was old and stricken in years. The Lord said to him, You are old and stricken in years, and there remains yet very much land to be possessed.
- 2This is the land that yet remains: all the borders of the Philistines, and all Geshuri,
- 3From Sihor, which is before Egypt, even to the borders of Ekron northward, which is counted to the Canaanite: five lords of the Philistines, the Gazathites, and the Ashdothites, the Eshkalonites, the Gittites, and the Ekronites, also the Avites:
- 4From the south, all the land of the Canaanites, and Mearah that is beside the Sidonians to Aphek, to the borders of the Amorites:
- 5And the land of the Giblites, and all Lebanon, toward the east, from Baalgad under mount Hermon to the entering into Hamath.
- 6All the people of the hill country from Lebanon to Misrephothmaim, and all the Sidonians, them will I drive out from before the children of Israel: only divide you it by lot to the Israelites for an inheritance, as I have commanded you.
- 7Now therefore divide this land for an inheritance to the nine tribes, and the half tribe of Manasseh,
- 8With them the Reubenites and the Gadites have received their inheritance, which Moses gave them, beyond Jordan eastward, even as Moses the servant of the Lord gave them.
- 9From Aroer, that is on the bank of the river Arnon, and the city that is in the middle of the river, and all the plain of Medeba to Dibon.
- 10And all the cities of Sihon king of the Amorites, which reigned in Heshbon, to the border of the children of Ammon.
- 11And Gilead, and the border of the Geshurites and Maachathites, and all mount Hermon, and all Bashan to Salcah.
- 12All the kingdom of Og in Bashan, which reigned in Ashtaroth and in Edrei, who remained of the remnant of the giants. For these did Moses strike, and cast them out.
- 13But the children of Israel did not expel the Geshurites, or the Maachathites: but the Geshurites and the Maachathites live among the Israelites until this day.
- 14Only to the tribes of Levi he gave none inheritance. The sacrifices of the Lord God of Israel made by fire are their inheritance, as he said to them.
- 15And Moses gave to the tribe of the children of Reuben inheritance according to their families.
- 16And their border was from Aroer, that is on the bank of the river Arnon, and the city that is in the middle of the river, and all the plain by Medeba.
- 17Heshbon, and all her cities that are in the plain, Dibon, and Bamothbaal, and Bethbaalmeon,
- 18And Jahaza, and Kedemoth, and Mephaath,
- 19And Kirjathaim, and Sibmah, and Zarethshahar in the mount of the valley,
- 20And Bethpeor, and Ashdothpisgah, and Bethjeshimoth,
- 21And all the cities of the plain, and all the kingdom of Sihon king of the Amorites, which reigned in Heshbon, who Moses struck with the princes of Midian, Evi, and Rekem, and Zur, and Hur, and Reba, which were chiefs of Sihon, living in the country.
- 22Balaam also the son of Beor, the soothsayer, did the children of Israel kill with the sword among those who were killed by them.
- 23And the border of the children of Reuben was Jordan, and its border. This was the inheritance of the children of Reuben after their families, the cities and its villages.
- 24And Moses gave inheritance to the tribe of Gad, even to the children of Gad according to their families.
- 25And their border was Jazer, and all the cities of Gilead, and half the land of the children of Ammon, to Aroer that is before Rabbah.
- 26And from Heshbon to Ramathmizpeh, and Betonim, and from Mahanaim to the border of Debir.
- 27And in the valley, Betharam, and Bethnimrah, and Succoth, and Zaphon, the rest of the kingdom of Sihon king of Heshbon, Jordan and his border, even to the edge of the sea of Chinnereth on the other side Jordan eastward.
- 28This is the inheritance of the children of Gad after their families, the cities, and their villages.
- 29And Moses gave inheritance to the half tribe of Manasseh: and this was the possession of the half tribe of the children of Manasseh by their families.
- 30And their border was from Mahanaim, all Bashan, all the kingdom of Og king of Bashan, and all the towns of Jair, who are in Bashan, sixty cities:
- 31And half Gilead, and Ashtaroth, and Edrei, cities of the kingdom of Og in Bashan, belonged to the children of Machir the son of Manasseh, even to the one half of the children of Machir by their families.
- 32These are the countries which Moses did distribute for inheritance in the plains of Moab, on the other side Jordan, by Jericho, eastward.
- 33But to the tribe of Levi Moses did not give any inheritance: the Lord God of Israel was their inheritance, as he said to them.
