13 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 Baalgad under mount Hermon unto the
entering into Hamath. 6 All the inhabitants of the hill country
from Lebanon unto Misrephothmaim, 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 tribes 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 Bamothbaal, and Bethbaalmeon, 18 And Jahaza, and Kedemoth, and Mephaath, 19 And Kirjathaim, and Sibmah, and Zarethshahar
in the mount of the valley, 20 And Bethpeor, and Ashdothpisgah, and
Bethjeshimoth, 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 Ramathmizpeh,
and Betonim; and from Mahanaim unto the border of Debir; 27 And in the valley, Betharam, and Bethnimrah,
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.
