1 Land That Remains to Be Possessed Now Joshua was old, advanced in years, and Yahweh said to him, “You are old, advanced in years, and very much of the land remains to be possessed.
2 This is the land that remains: all the regionsofthe Philistines and allthose ofthe Geshurites;
3 from the Shihor which is 13:3 Lit on the face of east of Egypt, even as far as the border of Ekron to the north (it is counted as Canaanite); the five lords of the Philistines: the Gazite, the Ashdodite, the Ashkelonite, the Gittite, the Ekronite; and the Avvite
4 13:4Or from the Teman to the south, all the land of the Canaanite, and Mearah that belongs to the Sidonians, as far as Aphek, to the border of the Amorite;
5 and the land of the Gebalite, and all of Lebanon,to the easttoward the sunrise, from Baal-gad below Mount Hermon as far as 13:5Or the entrance of Hamath Lebo-hamath.
6 All the inhabitants of the hill country from Lebanon as far as Misrephoth-maim, all the Sidonians, I will dispossess them from before the sons of Israel; only allot it to Israel for an inheritance as I have commanded you.
7 So now, apportion this land for an inheritance to the nine tribes and the half-tribe of Manasseh.”The Inheritance East of the Jordan
8 With 13:8Lit it, the the other half-tribe, the Reubenites and the Gadites received their inheritance which Moses gave them beyond the Jordan to the east, just as Moses the servant of Yahweh gave to them;
9 from Aroer, which is on the edge of the valley of the Arnon, with the city which is in the middle of the valley, and all the plain of Medeba, as far as Dibon;
10 and all the cities of Sihon king of the Amorites, who reigned in Heshbon, as far as the border of the sons of Ammon;
11 and Gilead, and the 13:11 Or border territory of the Geshurites and Maacathites, and all Mount Hermon, and all Bashan as far as Salecah;
12 all the kingdom of Og in Bashan, who reigned in Ashtaroth and in Edrei (he alone remained of the remnant of the Rephaim); for Moses struck them and dispossessed them.
13 But the sons of Israel did not dispossess the Geshurites or the Maacathites; so Geshur and Maacath live among Israel until this day.
14 Only to the tribe of Levi he did not give an inheritance; the offerings by fire to Yahweh, the God of Israel, are 13:14 Lit his their inheritance, as He spoke to him.
15 So Moses gavean inheritanceto the tribe of the sons of Reuben according to their families.
16 And their 13:16Or border territory was from Aroer, which is on the edge of the valley of the Arnon, with the city which is in the middle of the valley and all the plain by Medeba;
17 Heshbon, and all its cities which are on the plain: Dibon and Bamoth-baal and Beth-baal-meon,
18 and Jahaz and Kedemoth and Mephaath,
19 and Kiriathaim and Sibmah and Zereth-shahar on the hill of the valley,
20 and Beth-peor and the slopes of Pisgah and Beth-jeshimoth,
21 even all the cities of the plain and all the kingdom of Sihon king of the Amorites who reigned in Heshbon, whom Moses struck with the leaders of Midian, Evi and Rekem and Zur and Hur and Reba, the princes of Sihon, who lived in the land.
22 The sons of Israel also killed Balaam the son of Beor, the diviner, with the sword amongthe rest oftheir slain.
23 And the border of the sons of Reuben was the 13:23Lit Jordan and border Jordan. This was the inheritance of the sons of Reuben according to their families, the cities and their villages.
24 Moses also gavean inheritanceto the tribe of Gad, to the sons of Gad, according to their families.
25 And their territory was Jazer, and all the cities of Gilead, and half the land of the sons of Ammon, as far as Aroer which is before Rabbah;
26 and from Heshbon as far as Ramath-mizpeh and Betonim, and from Mahanaim as far as the border of 13:26 Or Lidebir Debir;
27 and in the valley, Beth-haram and Beth-nimrah and Succoth and Zaphon, the rest of the kingdom of Sihon king of Heshbon, with the Jordan 13:27Lit and border as a border, as far as thelowerend of the Sea of 13:27Galilee Chinnereth beyond the Jordan to the east.
28 This is the inheritance of the sons of Gad according to their families, the cities and their villages.
29 Moses also gavean inheritanceto the half-tribe of Manasseh; and it was for the half-tribe of the sons of Manasseh according to their families.
30 And their territory was from Mahanaim, all Bashan, all the kingdom of Og king of Bashan, and all of 13:30Or the towns of Jair Havvoth-jair, which are in Bashan, sixty cities;
31 also half of Gilead, with Ashtaroth and Edrei, the cities of the kingdom of Og in Bashan,werefor the sons of Machir the son of Manasseh, for half of the sons of Machir according to their families.
32 These arethe territorieswhich Moses apportioned for an inheritance in the plains of Moab, beyond the Jordan at Jericho to the east.
33 But to the tribe of Levi, Moses did not give an inheritance; Yahweh, the God of Israel, is their inheritance, as He had 13:33Lit spoken to promised to them.
