Joshua 13:1–33
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.
