Chapter 13

¹And Joshua is old, entering into days, and Jehovah saith unto him, ‘Thou hast become aged, thou hast entered into days; as to the land, very much hath been left to possess.

²‘This is the land that is left; all the circuits of the Philistines, and all Geshuri, ³from Sihor which is on the front of Egypt, and unto the border of Ekron northward, to the Canaanite it is reckoned, five princes of the Philistines, the Gazathite, and the Ashdothite, the Eshkalonite, the Gittite, and the Ekronite, also the Avim.

⁴‘From the south, all the land of the Canaanite, and Mearah, which is to the Sidonians, unto Aphek, unto the border of the Amorite; ⁵and the land of the Giblite, and all Lebanon, at the sun-rising, from Baal-Gad under mount Hermon, unto the going in to Hamath: ⁶all the inhabitants of the hill-country, from Lebanon unto Misrephoth-Maim, all the Sidonians: I—I dispossess them before the sons of Israel; only, cause it to fall to Israel for an inheritance, as I have commanded thee.

⁷‘And now, apportion this land for an inheritance to the nine tribes, and the half of the tribe of Manasseh,’— ⁸with it the Reubenite, and the Gadite, have received their inheritance, which Moses hath given to them beyond the Jordan eastward, as Moses servant of Jehovah hath given to them; ⁹from Aroer, which is on the edge of the brook Arnon, and the city which is in the midst of the brook, and all the plain of Medeba unto Dihon, ¹⁰and all the cities of Sihon king of the Amorite, who reigned in Heshbon, unto the border of the Bene-Ammon, ¹¹and Gilead, and the border of the Geshurite, and of the Maachathite, and all mount Hermon, and all Bashan unto Salcah; ¹²all the kingdom of Og in Bashan, who reigned in Ashtaroth and in Edrei; he was left of the remnant of the Rephaim, and Moses doth smite them, and dispossess them; ¹³and the sons of Israel dispossessed not the Geshurite, and the Maachathite; and Geshur and Maachath dwell in the midst of Israel unto this day. ¹⁴Only, to the tribe of Levi he hath not given an inheritance; fire-offerings of Jehovah, God of Israel, is its inheritance, as He hath spoken to it. ¹⁵And Moses giveth to the tribe of the sons of Reuben, for their families; ¹⁶and the border is to them from Aroer, which is on the edge of the brook Arnon, and the city which is in the midst of the brook, and all the plain by Medeba, ¹⁷Heshbon, and all its cities which are in the plain, Dibon, and Bamoth-Baal, and Beth-Baal-Meon, ¹⁸and Jahazah, and Kedemoth, and Mephaath, ¹⁹and Kirjathaim, and Sibmah, and Zareth-Shahar, in the mount of the valley, ²⁰and Beth-Peor, and the springs of Pisgah, and Beth-Jeshimoth, ²¹and all the cities of the plain, and all the kingdom of Sihon king of the Amorite, who reigned in Heshbon, whom Moses smote, with the princes of Midian, Evi, and Rekem, and Zur, and Hur, and Reba, princes of Sihon, inhabitants of the land. ²²And Balaam, son of Beor, the diviner, have the sons of Israel slain with the sword, among their wounded ones. ²³And the border of the sons of Reuben is the Jordan, and its border; this is the inheritance of the sons of Reuben, for their families, the cities and their villages. ²⁴And Moses giveth to the tribe of Gad, to the sons of Gad, for their families; ²⁵and the border is to them Jazer, and all the cities of Gilead, and the half of the land of the Bene-Ammon, unto Aroer which is on the front of Rabbah, ²⁶and from Heshbon unto Ramath-Mispeh, and Betonim, and from Mahanaim unto the border of Debir, ²⁷and in the valley, Beth-Aram, and Beth-Nimrah, and Succoth, and Zaphon, the rest of the kingdom of Sihon king of Heshbon, the Jordan and its border, unto the extremity of the sea of Chinnereth, beyond the Jordan, eastward. ²⁸This is the inheritance of the sons of Gad, for their families, the cities and their villages. ²⁹And Moses giveth to the half of the tribe of Manasseh; and it is to the half of the tribe of the sons of Manasseh, for their families. ³⁰And their border is from Mahanaim, all Bashan, all the kingdom of Og king of Bashan, and all the small towns of Jair, which are in Bashan, sixty cities; ³¹and the half of Gilead, and Ashteroth, and Edrei, cities of the kingdom of Og in Bashan, are to the sons of Machir, son of Manasseh, to the half of the sons of Machir, for their families. ³²These are they whom Moses caused to inherit in the plains of Moab, beyond the Jordan, by Jericho, eastward; ³³and to the tribe of Levi Moses gave not an inheritance; Jehovah, God of Israel, Himself is their inheritance, as He hath spoken to them.
