13Now Joshua was old and advanced in years,^a and Yahweh said to him, “You are old and advanced in years,^b and very much of the land remains to be possessed. ²This is the remaining land: all the regions of the Philistines, and all of the Geshurites,^c ³from the Shihor, which is east of Egypt,^d up to the border of Ekron to the north, which is reckoned as Canaanite; there are five Philistine rulers: the Gazites,^e Ashdodites,^f Ashkelonites,^g Gittites,^h Ekronites,ⁱ and the Avvim. ⁴In the south; all the land of the Canaanites,^j and Mearah, which belongs to the Sidonians up to Aphek, to the border of the Amorites,^k ⁵and the land of the Gebalites, and all the Lebanon,^l toward the east,^m from Baal Gad at the foot ofⁿ Mount Hermon up to Lebo-Hamath; ⁶all the inhabitants of the hill country, from the Lebanon^o 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. ⁷Therefore, divide this land as an inheritance to the nine tribes and the half-tribe of Manasseh.”
