12 These are the kings of the land whom the children of Israel defeated, and whose land they possessed on the other side of the Jordan toward the rising of the sun, afrom the River Arnon bto Mount Hermon, and all the eastern Jordan plain: 2 One king was cSihon king of the Amorites, who dwelt in Heshbon and ruled half of Gilead, from Aroer, which is on the bank of the River Arnon, from the middle of that river, even as far as the River Jabbok, which is the border of the Ammonites, 3 and dthe eastern Jordan plain from the 1Sea of Chinneroth as far as the 2Sea of the Arabah (the Salt Sea), ethe road to Beth Jeshimoth, and 3southward below fthe 4slopes of Pisgah. 4 gThe other king was Og king of Bashan and his territory, who was of hthe remnant of the giants, iwho dwelt at Ashtaroth and at Edrei, 5 and reigned over jMount Hermon, kover Salcah, over all Bashan, las far as the border of the Geshurites and the Maachathites, and over half of Gilead to the border of Sihon king of Heshbon.
6 mThese Moses the servant of the Lord and the children of Israel had conquered; and nMoses the servant of the Lord had given it as a possession to the Reubenites, the Gadites, and half the tribe of Manasseh.
7 And these are the kings of the country owhich Joshua and the children of Israel conquered on this side of the Jordan, on the west, from Baal Gad in the Valley of Lebanon as far as 5Mount Halak and the ascent to pSeir, which Joshua qgave to the tribes of Israel as a possession according to their divisions, 8 rin the mountain country, in the lowlands, in the Jordan plain, in the slopes, in the wilderness, and in the South—sthe Hittites, the Amorites, the Canaanites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites: 9 tthe king of Jericho, one; uthe king of Ai, which is beside Bethel, one; 10 vthe king of Jerusalem, one; the king of Hebron, one; 11 the king of Jarmuth, one; the king of Lachish, one; 12 the king of Eglon, one; wthe king of Gezer, one; 13 xthe king of Debir, one; the king of Geder, one; 14 the king of Hormah, one; the king of Arad, one; 15 ythe king of Libnah, one; the king of Adullam, one; 16 zthe king of Makkedah, one; athe king of Bethel, one; 17 the king of Tappuah, one; bthe king of Hepher, one; 18 the king of Aphek, one; the king of 6Lasharon, one; 19 the king of Madon, one; cthe king of Hazor, one; 20 the king of dShimron Meron, one; the king of Achshaph, one; 21 the king of Taanach, one; the king of Megiddo, one; 22 ethe king of Kedesh, one; the king of Jokneam in Carmel, one; 23 the king of Dor in the fheights of Dor, one; the king of gthe people of Gilgal, one; 24 the king of Tirzah, one—hall the kings, thirty-one.
Remaining Land to Be Conquered
13 Now Joshua awas old, advanced in years. And the Lord said to him: “You are old, advanced in years, and there remains very much land yet to be possessed. 2 bThis is the land that yet remains: call the territory of the Philistines and all dthat of the Geshurites, 3 efrom Sihor, which is east of Egypt, as far as the border of Ekron northward (which is counted as Canaanite); the ffive lords of the Philistines—the Gazites, the Ashdodites, the Ashkelonites, the Gittites, and the Ekronites; also gthe Avites; 4 from the south, all the land of the Canaanites, and Mearah that belongs to the Sidonians has far as Aphek, to the border of ithe Amorites; 5 the land of jthe 1Gebalites, and all Lebanon, toward the sunrise, kfrom Baal Gad below Mount Hermon as far as the entrance to Hamath; 6 all the inhabitants of the mountains from Lebanon as far as lthe 2Brook Misrephoth, and all the Sidonians—them mI will drive out from before the children of Israel; only ndivide 3it by lot to Israel as an inheritance, as I have commanded you. 7 Now therefore, divide this land as an inheritance to the nine tribes and half the tribe of Manasseh.”
The Land Divided East of the Jordan
8 With the other half-tribe the Reubenites and the Gadites received their inheritance, owhich Moses had given them, pbeyond the Jordan eastward, as Moses the servant of the Lord had given them: 9 from Aroer which is on the bank of the River Arnon, and the town that is in the midst of the ravine, qand all the plain of Medeba as far as Dibon; 10 rall the cities of Sihon king of the Amorites, who reigned in Heshbon, as far as the border of the children of Ammon; 11 sGilead, and the border of the Geshurites and Maachathites, all Mount Hermon, and all Bashan as far as Salcah; 12 all the kingdom of Og in Bashan, who reigned in Ashtaroth and Edrei, who remained of tthe remnant of the giants; ufor Moses had 4defeated and 5cast out these.
13 Nevertheless the children of Israel vdid not drive out the Geshurites or the Maachathites, but the Geshurites and the Maachathites dwell among the Israelites until this day.
14 wOnly to the tribe of Levi he had given 6no inheritance; the sacrifices of the Lord God of Israel made by fire are their inheritance, xas He said to them.
15 yAnd Moses had given to the tribe of the children of Reuben an inheritance according to their families. 16 Their territory was zfrom Aroer, which is on the bank of the River Arnon, aand the city that is in the midst of the ravine, band all the plain by Medeba; 17 cHeshbon and all its cities that are in the plain: Dibon, Bamoth Baal, Beth Baal Meon, 18 dJahaza, Kedemoth, Mephaath, 19 eKirjathaim, fSibmah, Zereth Shahar on the mountain of the valley, 20 Beth Peor, gthe slopes of Pisgah, and Beth Jeshimoth—21 hall the cities of the plain and all the kingdom of Sihon king of the Amorites, who reigned in Heshbon, iwhom Moses had struck jwith the princes of Midian: Evi, Rekem, Zur, Hur, and Reba, who were princes of Sihon dwelling in the country. 22 The children of Israel also killed with the sword kBalaam the son of Beor, the 7soothsayer, among those who were killed by them. 23 And the border of the children of Reuben was the bank of the Jordan. This was the inheritance of the children of Reuben according to their families, the cities and their villages.
24 lMoses also had given an inheritance to the tribe of Gad, to the children of Gad according to their families. 25 mTheir territory was Jazer, and all the cities of Gilead, nand half the land of the Ammonites as far as Aroer, which is before oRabbah, 26 and from Heshbon to Ramath Mizpah and Betonim, and from Mahanaim to the border of Debir, 27 and in the valley pBeth Haram, Beth Nimrah, qSuccoth, and Zaphon, the rest of the kingdom of Sihon king of Heshbon, with the Jordan as its border, as far as the edge rof the 8Sea of Chinnereth, on the other side of the Jordan eastward. 28 This is the inheritance of the children of Gad according to their families, the cities and their villages.
Half the Tribe of Manasseh (East)
29 sMoses also had given an inheritance to half the tribe of Manasseh; it was for half the tribe of the children of Manasseh according to their families: 30 Their territory was from Mahanaim, all Bashan, all the kingdom of Og king of Bashan, and tall the towns of Jair which are in Bashan, sixty cities; 31 half of Gilead, and uAshtaroth and Edrei, cities of the kingdom of Og in Bashan, were for the vchildren of Machir the son of Manasseh, for half of the children of Machir according to their families.
32 These are the areas which Moses had 9distributed as an inheritance in the plains of Moab on the other side of the Jordan, by Jericho eastward. 33 wBut to the tribe of Levi Moses had given no inheritance; the Lord God of Israel was their inheritance, xas He had said to them.
The Land Divided West of the Jordan
14 These are the areas which the children of Israel inherited in the land of Canaan, awhich Eleazar the priest, Joshua the son of Nun, and the heads of the fathers of the tribes of the children of Israel distributed as an inheritance to them. 2 Their inheritance was bby lot, as the Lord had commanded by the hand of Moses, for the nine tribes and the half-tribe. 3 cFor Moses had given the inheritance of the two tribes and the half-tribe on the other side of the Jordan; but to the Levites he had given no inheritance among them. 4 For dthe children of Joseph were two tribes: Manasseh and Ephraim. And they gave no part to the Levites in the land, except ecities to dwell in, with their common-lands for their livestock and their property. 5 fAs the Lord had commanded Moses, so the children of Israel did; and they divided the land.
