Josh 13
1
And Joshua was old and very advanced in Gr. days years; and the Lord said to Joshua, You are advanced in years, and there
is much
land left to inherit.
2
And this is the land that is left: the borders of the Phylistines, the Gesirite, and
the Chananite,
3
from the Gr. uninhabited country wilderness before Egypt, as far as the borders of Accaron on the left of the Chananites
the land is reckoned to the five principalities of the Phylistines, to the inhabitant
of Gaza, and of Azotus, and of Ascalon, and of Geth, and of Accaron, and to the Evite;
4
from Thaeman even to all the land of Chanaan before Gaza, and the Sidonians as far
as Aphec, as far as the borders of the Amorites.
5
And all the land of Galiath of the Phylistines, and all Libanus eastward from Galgal,
under the mountain Aermon as far as the entering in of Emath;
6
every one that inhabits the hill country from Libanus as far as Masereth Memphomaim.
All the Sidonians, I will destroy them from before Israel; but do you give them by
inheritance to Israel, as I charged you.
7
And now divide this land by lot to the nine tribes, and to the half tribe of Manasse.
8
From Jordan to the great sea westward you shall give it them: the great sea shall
be the boundary. But to the two tribes and to the half tribe of Manasse, to Ruben
and to Gad Moses gave an inheritance beyond Jordan: Moses the servant of the Lord
gave it to Gr. him them eastward,
9
from Aroer, which is on the bank of the brook of Arnon, and the city in the midst
of the valley, and all Misor from Maedaban.
10
All the cities of Seon king of the Amorites, who reigned from Esebon to the coasts
of the children of Ammon;
11
and the region of Galaad, and the borders of the Gesirites and the Machatites, the
whole mount of Aermon, and all the land of Basan to Acha.
12
All the kingdom of Og in the region of Basan, who reigned in Astaroth and in Edrain:
he was left of the giants; and Moses smote him, and destroyed him.
13
But the children of Israel destroyed not the Gesirite and the Machatite and the Chananite;
and the king of the Gesiri and the Machatite dwelt among the children of Israel until
this day.
14
Only no inheritance was given to the tribe of Levi: the Lord God of Israel, he is
their inheritance, as the Lord said to them; and this is the division which Moses
made to the children of Israel in Araboth Moab, on the other side of Jordan, by Jericho.
15
And Moses gave the land to the tribe of Ruben according to their families.
16
And their borders were from Aroer, which is opposite the brook of Arnon, and theirs
is the city that is in the valley of Arnon; and all Misor,
17
to Esebon, and all the cities in Misor, and Daebon, and Baemon-Baal, and the house
of Meelboth;
18
and Basan, and Bakedmoth, and Maephaad,
19
and Kariathaim, and Sebama, and Serada, and Sion in mount Enab;
20
and Baethphogor, and Asedoth Phasga, and Baetthasinoth,
21
and all the cities of Misor, and all the kingdom of Seon king of the Amorites, whom
Moses smote, even him and the princes of Madian, and Evi, and Roboc, and Sur, and
Ur, and Robe prince of the spoils of Sion, and the inhabitants of Sion.
22
And Balaam the son of Baeor the prophet they slew in the battle.
23
And the borders of Ruben were—even Jordan was the boundary; this is the inheritance
of the children of Ruben according to their families, these were their cities and
their villages.
24
And Moses gave inheritance to the sons of Gad according to their families.
25
And their borders were Jazer, all the cities of Galaad, and half the land of the children
of Ammon to Araba, which is before Arad.
26
And from Esebon to Araboth by Massepha, and Botanim, and Maan to the borders of Daebon,
27
and Enadom, and Othargai, and Baenthanabra, and Soccotha, and Saphan, and the rest
of the kingdom of Sean king of Esebon: and Jordan shall be the boundary as far as
part of the sea of Chenereth beyond Jordan eastward.
28
This is the inheritance of the children of Gad according to their families and according
to their cities: according to their families they will turn their Gr. necks; Heb. Pre the back of the neck backs before their
enemies, because their cities and their villages were according
to their families.
29
And Moses gave to half the tribe of Manasse according to their families.
30
And their borders were from Maan, and all the kingdom of Basan, and all the kingdom
of Og king of Basan, and all the villages of Jair, which are in the region of Basan,
sixty cities:
31
and the half of Galaad, and in Astaroth, and in Edrain, royal cities of Og in the
land of Basan, Moses gave to the sons of Machir the sons of Manasse, even to the half-tribe
sons of Machir the sons of Manasse, according to their families.
32
These are they whom Moses caused to inherit beyond Jordan in Araboth Moab, beyond
Jordan by Jericho eastward.
