²“This is the land that remains: all the regions of the Philistines^f and Geshurites,^g ³from the Shihor River^h on the east of Egypt to the territory of Ekronⁱ on the north, all of it counted as Canaanite though held by the five Philistine rulers^j in Gaza, Ashdod,^k Ashkelon,^l Gath and Ekron; the territory of the Avvites^m ⁴on the south; all the land of the Canaanites, from Arah of the Sidonians as far as Aphekⁿ and the border of the Amorites;^o ⁵the area of Byblos;^p and all Lebanon^q to the east, from Baal Gad below Mount Hermon^r to Lebo Hamath.^s

⁶“As for all the inhabitants of the mountain regions from Lebanon to Misrephoth Maim,^t that is, all the Sidonians, I myself will drive them out^u before the Israelites. Be sure to allocate this land to Israel for an inheritance, as I have instructed you,^v ⁷and divide it as an inheritance^w among the nine tribes and half of the tribe of Manasseh.”

Division of the Land East of the Jordan

⁸The other half of Manasseh,^a the Reubenites and the Gadites had received the inheritance that Moses had given them east of the Jordan, as he, the servant of the Lord, had assigned^x it to them.^y

⁹It extended from Aroer^z on the rim of the Arnon Gorge, and from the town in the middle of the gorge, and included the whole plateau^a of Medeba as far as Dibon,^b ¹⁰and all the towns of Sihon king of the Amorites, who ruled in Heshbon,^c out to the border of the Ammonites.^d ¹¹It also included Gilead,^e the territory of the people of Geshur and Maakah, all of Mount Hermon and all Bashan as far as Salekah^f—¹²that is, the whole kingdom of Og in Bashan,^g who had reigned in Ashtaroth^h and Edrei.ⁱ (He was the last of the Rephaites.^j) Moses had defeated them and taken over their land.^k ¹³But the Israelites did not drive out the people of Geshur^l and Maakah,^m so they continue to live among the Israelites to this day.ⁿ
