Joshua 13:1–7

Remaining Land to Be Conquered

13Now 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. ^2bThis is the land that yet remains: ^call the territory of the Philistines and all ^dthat of the Geshurites, ^3efrom 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; ⁴from 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; ⁵the land of ^jthe ¹Gebalites, and all Lebanon, toward the sunrise, ^kfrom Baal Gad below Mount Hermon as far as the entrance to Hamath; ⁶all 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. ⁷Now therefore, divide this land as an inheritance to the nine tribes and half the tribe of Manasseh.”
