Joshua 13:6–14

all the inhabitants of the hill country, from the Lebanono up to Misrephoth Maim, and all the Sidonians. I will drive them out from before the Israelites;p only allocate it to Israel as an inheritance just as I have commanded you. Therefore, divide this land as an inheritance to the nine tribes and the half-tribe of Manasseh.”

With itq the Reubenites,r and the Gaditess received their inheritance, which Moses gave them beyond the Jordan to the east, just as Moses Yahweh’s servant gave to them: from Aroer, which is on the edge of the wadit of Arnon, and the city which is in the middle of the wadi, and all the plateau from Medeba up to Dibon; 10 and all the cities of Sihon king of the Amorites,u who reigned in Heshbon up to the border of the Ammonites;v 11 and Gilead, and the border of the Geshuritew and the Maacathites,x all of Mount Hermon,y and Bashan up to Salecah; 12 all the kingdom of Og in Bashan, who reigned in Ashtaroth and Edrei—he was left over from the survivorsz of the Rephaim; these Moses had defeated and driven out. 13 But the Israelitesa did not drive out the Geshuritesb or the Maacathites;c Geshur and Maacah live among Israel to this day. 14 Only the tribe of Levitesd Moses did not give an inheritance; the offerings made by fire to Yahweh the God of Israel are theire inheritance, just as he promised to them.f
