The Book of Joshua (WEB)
13: 1Now Joshua was old and well stricken in years; and Yahweh said to him, You are old and
well stricken in years, and there remains yet very much land to be possessed. 13:2This is the land
that yet remains: all the regions of the Philistines, and all the Geshurites; 13:3from the Shihor, which
is before Egypt, even to the border of Ekron northward, which is reckoned to the Canaanites; the
five lords of the Philistines; the Gazites, and the Ashdodites, the Ashkelonites, the Gittites, and
the Ekronites; also the Avvim, 13:4on the south; all the land of the Canaanites, and Mearah that
belongs to the Sidonians, to Aphek, to the border of the Amorites; 13:5and the land of the Gebalites,
and all Lebanon, toward the sunrise, from Baal-gad under Mount Hermon to the entrance of
Hamath; 13:6all the inhabitants of the hill-country from Lebanon to Misrephoth-maim, even all the
Sidonians; them will I drive out from before the children of Israel: only allot you it to Israel for an
inheritance, as I have commanded you. 13:7Now therefore divide this land for an inheritance to the
nine tribes, and the half-tribe of Manasseh. 13:8With him the Reubenites and the Gadites received
their inheritance, which Moses gave them, beyond the Jordan eastward, even as Moses the servant
of Yahweh gave them: 13:9from Aroer, that is on the edge of the valley of the Arnon, and the city
that is in the middle of the valley, and all the plain of Medeba to Dibon; 13:10and all the cities of
Sihon king of the Amorites, who reigned in Heshbon, to the border of the children of Ammon;
13:11and Gilead, and the border of the Geshurites and Maacathites, and all Mount Hermon, and all
Bashan to Salecah; 13:12all the kingdom of Og in Bashan, who reigned in Ashtaroth and in Edrei
(the same was left of the remnant of the Rephaim); for these did Moses strike, and drove them
out. 13:13Nevertheless the children of Israel didn't drive out the Geshurites, nor the Maacathites: but
Geshur and Maacath dwell in the midst of Israel to this day. 13:14Only to the tribe of Levi he gave
no inheritance; the offerings of Yahweh, the God of Israel, made by fire are his inheritance, as he
spoke to him. 13:15Moses gave to the tribe of the children of Reuben according to their families.
13:16Their border was from Aroer, that is on the edge of the valley of the Arnon, and the city that is
in the middle of the valley, and all the plain by Medeba; 13:17Heshbon, and all its cities that are in
the plain; Dibon, and Bamoth-baal, and Beth-baal-meon, 13:18and Jahaz, and Kedemoth, and
Mephaath, 13:19and Kiriathaim, and Sibmah, and Zereth-shahar in the mount of the valley, 13:20and
Beth-peor, and the slopes of Pisgah, and Beth-jeshimoth, 13:21and all the cities of the plain, and all
the kingdom of Sihon king of the Amorites, who reigned in Heshbon, whom Moses struck with
the chiefs of Midian, Evi, and Rekem, and Zur, and Hur, and Reba, the princes of Sihon, who
lived in the land. 13:22Balaam also the son of Beor, the soothsayer, did the children of Israel kill
with the sword among the rest of their slain. 13:23The border of the children of Reuben was the
Jordan, and the border of it. This was the inheritance of the children of Reuben according to their
families, the cities and the villages of it. 13:24Moses gave to the tribe of Gad, to the children of Gad,
according to their families. 13:25Their border was Jazer, and all the cities of Gilead, and half the
land of the children of Ammon, to Aroer that is before Rabbah; 13:26and from Heshbon to
Ramath-mizpeh, and Betonim; and from Mahanaim to the border of Debir; 13:27and in the valley,
Beth-haram, and Beth-nimrah, and Succoth, and Zaphon, the rest of the kingdom of Sihon king of
Heshbon, the Jordan and the border of it, to the uttermost part of the sea of Chinnereth beyond the
Jordan eastward. 13:28This is the inheritance of the children of Gad according to their families, the
cities and the villages of it. 13:29Moses gave inheritance to the half-tribe of Manasseh: and it was for
the half-tribe of the children of Manasseh according to their families. 13:30Their border was from
Mahanaim, all Bashan, all the kingdom of Og king of Bashan, and all the towns of Jair, which are
in Bashan, sixty cities: 13:31and half Gilead, and Ashtaroth, and Edrei, the cities of the kingdom of
Og in Bashan, were for the children of Machir the son of Manasseh, even for the half of the
children of Machir according to their families. 13:32These are the inheritances which Moses
distributed in the plains of Moab, beyond the Jordan at Jericho, eastward. 13:33But to the tribe of
Levi Moses gave no inheritance: Yahweh, the God of Israel, is their inheritance, as he spoke to
them.
