[1] Now Joshua was old and full of years; and the Lord said to him, You are
old and full of years, and there is still very much land to be taken. [2]
This is the land which is still to be taken: all the country of the
Philistines, and all the Geshurites; [3] From the Shihor, which is before
Egypt, to the edge of Ekron to the north, which is taken to be Canaanite
property: the five chiefs of the Philistines; the Gazites, and the
Ashdodites, the Ashkelonites, the Gittites, and the Ekronites, as well as
the Avvim; [4] On the south: all the land of the Canaanites, and Mearah
which is the property of the Zidonians, to Aphek, as far as the limit of
the Amorites: [5] And the land of the Gebalites, and all Lebanon, looking
east, from Baal-gad under Mount Hermon as far as Hamath: [6] All the people
of the hill-country from Lebanon to Misrephoth-maim, all the Zidonians;
them will I send out from before the children of Israel: only make division
of it to Israel for a heritage, as I have given you orders to do. [7] So
now make division of this land for a heritage to the nine tribes, and the
half-tribe of Manasseh. [8] With him the Reubenites and the Gadites have
been given their heritage, which Moses gave them, on the east side of
Jordan, as Moses, the servant of the Lord, gave them; [9] From Aroer, on
the edge of the valley of the Arnon, and the town in the middle of the
valley, and all the table-land from Medeba to Dibon; [10] And all the towns
of Sihon, king of the Amorites, who was ruling in Heshbon, to the limits of
the children of Ammon; [11] And Gilead, and the land of the Geshurites and
the Maacathites, and all Mount Hermon, and all Bashan to Salecah; [12] All
the kingdom of Og in Bashan, who was ruling in Ashtaroth and in Edrei (he
was one of the last of the Rephaim); these did Moses overcome, driving them
out of their country. [13] However, the people of Israel did not send out
the Geshurites, or the Maacathites: but Geshur and Maacath are living among
Israel to this day. [14] Only to the tribe of Levi he gave no heritage; the
offerings of the Lord, the God of Israel, made by fire are his heritage, as
he said to him. [15] And Moses gave their heritage to the tribe of Reuben
by their families. [16] Their limit was from Aroer, on the edge of the
valley of the Arnon, and the town in the middle of the valley, and all the
table-land by Medeba; [17] Heshbon and all her towns in the table-land;
Dibon, and Bamoth-baal, and Beth-baal-meon; [18] And Jahaz, and Kedemoth,
and Mephaath; [19] And Kiriathaim, and Sibmah, and Zereth-shahar in the
mountain of the valley; [20] And Beth-peor, and the slopes of Pisgah, and
Beth-jeshimoth; [21] And all the towns of the table-land, and all the
kingdom of Sihon, king of the Amorites, who was ruling in Heshbon, whom
Moses overcame, together with the chiefs of Midian, Evi, and Rekem, and
Zur, and Hur, and Reba, the chiefs of Sihon, who were living in the land.
[22] And Balaam, the son of Beor, the prophet, the children of Israel put
to death with the sword. [23] And the limit of the children of Reuben was
the edge of Jordan. This was the heritage of the children of Reuben by
their families, with its towns and its unwalled places. [24] And Moses gave
their heritage to the tribe of Gad by their families. [25] And their limit
was Jazer, and all the towns of Gilead, and half the land of the children
of Ammon, to Aroer before Rabbah; [26] And from Heshbon to Ramath-mizpeh,
and Betonim; and from Mahanaim to the edge of 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, having Jordan for its limit, to the
end of the sea of Chinnereth on the east side of Jordan. [28] This is the
heritage of the children of Gad by their families, with its towns and its
unwalled places [29] And Moses gave their heritage to the half-tribe of
Manasseh by their families. [30] And their limit was from Mahanaim, all
Bashan, all the kingdom of Og, king of Bashan, and all Havvoth-Jair, in
Bashan, sixty towns; [31] And half Gilead, and Ashtaroth, and Edrei, towns
of the kingdom of Og in Bashan, were for the children of Machir, the son of
Manasseh, for half of the children of Machir by their families. [32] These
are the heritages of which Moses made distribution in the lowlands of Moab,
on the other side of Jordan in Jericho, to the east. [33] But to the tribe
of Levi Moses gave no heritage: the Lord, the God of Israel, is their
heritage, as he said to them.
