Joshua 13:1–7

Land Still to Be Conquered

13Now Joshua ^twas old and advanced in years, and the Lord said to him, “You are old and advanced in years, and there remains yet very much land ^uto possess. ^2vThis is the land that yet remains: all the ^wregions of the Philistines, and all those of the Geshurites ³(from the ^xShihor, which is east of Egypt, northward to the boundary of Ekron, it is counted as Canaanite; ^ythere are five rulers of the Philistines, those of Gaza, Ashdod, Ashkelon, Gath, and Ekron), and those of ^zthe Avvim, ⁴in the south, all the land of the Canaanites, and Mearah that belongs to the Sidonians, to Aphek, to the boundary of ^athe Amorites, ⁵and the land of the ^bGebalites, and all Lebanon, toward the sunrise, from ^cBaal-gad below Mount Hermon to ^dLebo-hamath, ⁶all the inhabitants of the hill country from Lebanon to ^eMisrephoth-maim, even all the Sidonians. I myself will drive ^fthem out from before the people of Israel. Only ^gallot the land to Israel ^hfor an inheritance, as I have commanded you. ⁷Now therefore ⁱdivide this land for an inheritance to the nine tribes and half the tribe of Manasseh.”
