JOSHUA ยท Chapter 13
13:1 Now Joshua was old and stricken in years; and the LORD said unto
him, You are old and stricken in years, and there remains yet very much
land to be possessed.
13:2 This is the land that yet remains: all the borders of the Philistines,
and all Geshuri,
13:3 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:
13:4 From the south, all the land of the Canaanites, and Mearah that
is beside the Sidonians unto Aphek, to the borders of the Amorites:
13:5 And the land of the Giblites, and all Lebanon, toward the sunrising,
from Baalgad under mount Hermon unto the entering into Hamath.
13:6 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 you it by lot unto the Israelites for an inheritance,
as I have commanded you.
13:7 Now therefore divide this land for an inheritance unto the nine
tribes, and the half tribe of Manasseh,
13:8 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;
13:9 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;
13:10 And all the cities of Sihon king of the Amorites, which reigned
in Heshbon, unto the border of the children of Ammon;
13:11 And Gilead, and the border of the Geshurites and Maachathites,
and all mount Hermon, and all Bashan unto Salcah;
13:12 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
strike, and cast them out.
13:13 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.
13:14 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.
13:15 And Moses gave unto the tribe of the children of Reuben inheritance
according to their families.
13:16 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;
13:17 Heshbon, and all her cities that are in the plain; Dibon, and
Bamothbaal, and Bethbaalmeon,
13:18 And Jahaza, and Kedemoth, and Mephaath,
13:19 And Kirjathaim, and Sibmah, and Zarethshahar in the mount of
the valley,
13:20 And Bethpeor, and Ashdothpisgah, and Bethjeshimoth,
13:21 And all the cities of the plain, and all the kingdom of Sihon
king of the Amorites, which reigned in Heshbon, whom Moses stroke with
the princes of Midian, Evi, and Rekem, and Zur, and Hur, and Reba, which
were dukes of Sihon, dwelling in the country.
13:22 Balaam also the son of Beor, the fortune teller, did the children
of Israel slay with the sword among them that were slain by them.
13:23 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.
13:24 And Moses gave inheritance unto the tribe of Gad, even unto the
children of Gad according to their families.
13:25 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;
13:26 And from Heshbon unto Ramathmizpeh, and Betonim; and from Mahanaim
unto the border of Debir;
13:27 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.
13:28 This is the inheritance of the children of Gad after their families,
the cities, and their villages.
13:29 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.
13:30 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:
13:31 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.
13:32 These are the countries which Moses did distribute for inheritance
in the plains of Moab, on the other side Jordan, by Jericho, eastward.
13:33 But unto the tribe of Levi Moses gave not any inheritance: the
LORD God of Israel was their inheritance, as he said unto them.
