Joshua 13

Now Joshua had aged, he had come into days. And God said to him, “You have aged, you have come into days, and very much land remains to possess it.

This {is} the remaining land: all of the territories of the Philistines, and all of the Geshurite,

from Shihor, which {is} at the face of Egypt, and unto the border of Ekron northward (it shall be reckoned to the Canaanite); the five lords of the Philistines: the Gazite and the Ashdodite, the Ashkelonite, the Gathite, and the Ekronite; and the Avvites \*

from the south; all of the land of the Canaanite, and Mearah, which {is} to the Sidonians, unto Aphek, unto the border of the Amorite;

and the land of the Gebalite; and all of Lebanon from the rising of the sun, from Baal Gad below Mount Hermon unto Lebo Hamath. \*

All of the dwellers of the hill country, from Lebanon unto Misrephoth Maim, all of the Sidonians, I myself will dispossess them from the face of the sons of Israel. You shall only cause it to fall to Israel as an inheritance, just as I have commanded you.

And now divide this land as an inheritance to the nine tribes and half of the tribe of Manasseh.” \*

With him the Reubenite and the Gadite had taken their inheritance that Moses had given to them on the other side of the Jordan, toward the sunrise, just as Moses, the servant of God, had given to them:

from Aroer, which is on the lip of the wadi of Arnon, and the city that {is} in the middle of the wadi, and all of the plateau of Medeba unto Dibon; \*

and all of the cities of Sihon, the king of the Amorite, who reigned in Heshbon, unto the border of the sons of Ammon;

and Gilead, and the border of the Geshurite and the Maacathite, and all of Mount Hermon, and all of Bashan unto Salekah,

all of the kingdom of Og in Bashan, who reigned in Ashtaroth and in Edrei. (He remained from the remnant of the Raphaites.) And Moses struck them and dispossessed them. \*

But the sons of Israel did not dispossess the Geshurite and the Maacathite. And Geshur and Maacath dwell in the midst of Israel to this day.

Only he did not give an inheritance to the tribe of Levi. The burnt offerings of God, the God of Israel, they are his inheritance, just as he spoke to him. \*

And Moses gave to the tribe of the sons of Reuben according to their clans.

And the border for them was from Aroer, which {is} on the lip of the wadi of Arnon, and the city that {is} in the middle of the wadi, and all of the plateau beside Medeba, \*

Heshbon and all of its cities that {are} in the plateau, Dibon and Bamoth Baal and Beth Baal Meon

and Jahaz and Kedemoth and Mephaath

and Kiriathai and Sibmah and Zereth Shahar on the hill of the valley \*

and Beth Peor and the slopes of Pisgah and Beth Jeshimoth

and all of the cities of the plateau, and all of the kingdom of Sihon, the king of the Amorite, who had reigned in Heshbon, whom Moses struck, him and the leaders of Midian: Evi and Rekem and Zur and Hur and Reba, the princes of Sihon, the dwellers of the land. \*

And the sons of Israel slew with the sword Balaam, the son of Beor, the diviner, with the slain.

And the border of the sons of Reuben was the Jordan and its border. This {is} the inheritance of the sons of Reuben according to their clans, the cities, and their villages. \*

And Moses gave to the tribe of Gad, to the sons of Gad according to their clans.

And the border for them was Jazer and all of the cities of Gilead and half of the land of the sons of Ammon, unto Aroer, which {is} at the face of Rabbah,

and from Heshbon unto Ramath Mizpah and Betonim, and from Mahanaim unto the border of Debir, \*

and in the valley, Beth Haram and Beth Nimrah and Succoth and Zaphon, the rest of the kingdom of Sihon, the king of Heshbon, the Jordan and the border, unto the end of the Sea of Chinnereth, beyond the Jordan from the sunrise.

This is the inheritance of the sons of Gad according to their clans, the cities and their villages. \*

And Moses gave to half of the tribe of Manasseh, and it was to half of the tribe of the sons of Manasseh according to their clans.

And their border was from Mahanaim, all of Bashan, all of the kingdom of Og, the king of Bashan, and all of the towns of Jair, which {are} in Bashan, 60 cities. \*

And half of Gilead, and Ashtaroth and Edrei (the cities of the kingdom of Og in the Bashan), were to the sons of Machir the son of Manasseh, for half of the sons of Machir according to their clans.

These {are} what Moses caused to inherit in the plains of Moab, from the other side of the Jordan, Jericho from the sunrise. \*

But to the tribe of Levi Moses gave no inheritance. God, the God of Israel, he {is} their inheritance, just as he spoke to them. \*
