Joshua
Josh.13
[1] Now Joshua was old and stricken in years; and the LORD
said unto him, Thou art old and stricken in years, and there
remaineth yet very much land to be possessed.
[2] This is the land that yet remaineth: all the borders
of the Philistines, and all Geshuri,
[3] From Sihor, which is before Egypt, even unto the
borders of Ekron northward, which is counted to the Canaanite:
five lords of the Philistines; the Gazathites, and the
Ashdothites, the Eshkalonites, the Gittites, and the Ekronites;
also the Avites:
[4] From the south, all the land of the Canaanites, and
Mearah that is beside the Sidonians, unto Aphek, to the borders
of the Amorites:
[5] And the land of the Giblites, and all Lebanon, toward
the sunrising, from Baal-gad under mount Hermon unto the entering
into Hamath.
[6] All the inhabitants of the hill country from Lebanon
unto Misrephoth-maim, and all the Sidonians, them will I drive
out from before the children of Israel: only divide thou it by
lot unto the Israelites for an inheritance, as I have commanded
thee.
[7] Now therefore divide this land for an inheritance unto
the nine tribes, and the half tribe of Manasseh,
[8] With whom the Reubenites and the Gadites have received
their inheritance, which Moses gave them, beyond Jordan eastward,
even as Moses the servant of the LORD gave them;
[9] From Aroer, that is upon the bank of the river Arnon,
and the city that is in the midst of the river, and all the plain
of Medeba unto Dibon;
[10] And all the cities of Sihon king of the Amorites,
which reigned in Heshbon, unto the border of the children of
Ammon;
[11] And Gilead, and the border of the Geshurites and
Maachathites, and all mount Hermon, and all Bashan unto
Salcah;
[12] All the kingdom of Og in Bashan, which reigned in
Ashtaroth and in Edrei, who remained of the remnant of the
giants: for these did Moses smite, and cast them out.
[13] Nevertheless the children of Israel expelled not the
Geshurites, nor the Maachathites: but the Geshurites and the
Maachathites dwell among the Israelites until this day.
[14] Only unto the tribe of Levi he gave none inheritance;
the sacrifices of the LORD God of Israel made by fire are their
inheritance, as he said unto them.
[15] And Moses gave unto the tribe of the children of
Reuben inheritance according to their families.
[16] And their coast was from Aroer, that is on the bank
of the river Arnon, and the city that is in the midst of the
river, and all the plain by Medeba;
[17] Heshbon, and all her cities that are in the plain;
Dibon, and Bamoth-baal, and Beth-baal-meon,
[18] And Jahazah, and Kedemoth, and Mephaath,
[19] And Kirjathaim, and Sibmah, and Zareth-shahar in the
mount of the valley,
[20] And Beth-peor, and Ashdoth-pisgah, and
Beth-jeshimoth,
[21] And all the cities of the plain, and all the kingdom
of Sihon king of the Amorites, which reigned in Heshbon, whom
Moses smote with the princes of Midian, Evi, and Rekem, and Zur,
and Hur, and Reba, which were dukes of Sihon, dwelling in the
country.
[22] Balaam also the son of Beor, the soothsayer, did the
children of Israel slay with the sword among them that were slain
by them.
[23] And the border of the children of Reuben was Jordan,
and the border thereof. This was the inheritance of the children
of Reuben after their families, the cities and the villages
thereof.
[24] And Moses gave inheritance unto the tribe of Gad,
even unto the children of Gad according to their families.
[25] And their coast was Jazer, and all the cities of
Gilead, and half the land of the children of Ammon, unto Aroer
that is before Rabbah;
[26] And from Heshbon unto Ramath-mizpeh, and Betonim; and
from Mahanaim unto the border of Debir;
[27] And in the valley, Beth-aram, and Beth-nimrah, and
Succoth, and Zaphon, the rest of the kingdom of Sihon king of
Heshbon, Jordan and his border, even unto the edge of the sea of
Chinnereth on the other side Jordan eastward.
[28] This is the inheritance of the children of Gad after
their families, the cities, and their villages.
[29] And Moses gave inheritance unto the half tribe of
Manasseh: and this was the possession of the half tribe of the
children of Manasseh by their families.
[30] And their coast was from Mahanaim, all Bashan, all
the kingdom of Og king of Bashan, and all the towns of Jair,
which are in Bashan, threescore cities:
[31] And half Gilead, and Ashtaroth, and Edrei, cities of
the kingdom of Og in Bashan, were pertaining unto the children of
Machir the son of Manasseh, even to the one half of the children
of Machir by their families.
[32] These are the countries which Moses did distribute
for inheritance in the plains of Moab, on the other side Jordan,
by Jericho, eastward.
[33] But unto the tribe of Levi Moses gave not any
inheritance: the LORD God of Israel was their inheritance, as he
said unto them.
