CHAPTER 13 Land Left for Inheritance

1 And Joshua was older being advanced of days; and the lord said to Joshua, You are grown old, advanced of days, and [²land ³is left ¹much] exceedingly for inheritance. 2 And this is the land being left; all the borders of the Philistines, and all the Geshurite and the Canaanite, 3 from the uninhabited part by the face of Egypt, unto the borders of Ekron, from the left of the Canaanites -- which is counted in addition to; the five satrapies of the Philistines, to the Gazite, and to the Ashdodite and to the Ashkelonite, and to the Gittite, and to the Ekronite, and to the Hivite; 4 from Teman, and all the land of Canaan from Gaza, and the Sidonians unto Aphek, unto the borders of the Amorites. 5 And all the land of Gabli of the Philistines, and all Lebanon from the east sun from Baal-gad under mount Hermon, unto the entrance of Hamath; 6 every one dwelling the mountainous area from Lebanon unto Misrephoth-maim, and all the ones of Sidon -- I will utterly destroy them from the face of the sons of Israel; but distribute it to Israel by lot! in which manner I charged you.

The Other Side of the Jordan

7 And now portion this land by lot of inheritance to the nine tribes, and to the half tribe of Manasseh! 8 To the ones with him, to Reuben and to Gad, they received their inheritance which [²gave ³to them ¹Moses] on the other side of the Jordan; according to the rising of the sun [⁵granted ⁶to them ¹Moses ²the ³servant ⁴of the lord], 9 from Aroer, which is upon the edge of the stream Arnon, and the city in the midst of the ravine, and all Misor from Medeba unto Dibon; 10 and all the cities of Sihon king of the Amorites, which reigned in Heshbon, unto the borders of the sons of Ammon; 11 and Gilead, and the borders of the Geshurites and the Maachathites, all mount Hermon, and all Bashan unto Salcah; 12 all the kingdom of Og in Bashan, who reigned in Ashtaroth and in Edrei -- this one was left from the remnant of giants; for [²struck ³him ¹Moses] and utterly destroyed him. 13 But [⁴did not ⁵utterly destroy ¹the ²sons ³of Israel] the Geshurite, and the Maachathite. And [⁶dwelt ¹the king ²of the Geshurites ³and ⁴the ⁵Maachathites] among the sons of Israel until this day. 14 Except to the tribe of Levi there was not given an inheritance; the lord God of Israel, this is their inheritance, as [²said ³to them ¹the lord]. 15 And Moses gave to the tribe of the sons of Reuben according to their peoples. 16 And became theirs the boundaries from Aroer, which is by the face of the ravine Arnon, and the city, the one in the ravine of Arnon, and all Misor and Medeba unto Heshbon, 17 and all their cities being in Misor, and Dibon, and Bamoth-baal, and the house of Baal-meon, 18 and Jahaza, and Kedemoth, and Mephaath, 19 and Kirjathaim, and Sibmah, and Zerath, and Sharah in mount Emak; 20 and Beth-peor, and Ashdoth Pisgah, and Beth-jeshimoth, 21 and all the cities of Misor, and all the kingdom of Sihon king of the Amorites, which reigned in Heshbon, whom Moses struck he and the leaders of Midian even Evi and Rekem, and Zur, and Hur, and Reba, rulers of Sihon, the ones dwelling in the land. 22 And Balaam son Beor the clairvoyant [⁴killed ¹the ²sons ³of Israel] by the broadsword in the routing of the enemy. 23 And became the borders of the sons of Reuben the Jordan boundary. This is the inheritance of the sons of Reuben according to their peoples, the cities, and their properties. 24 [³gave ¹And ²Moses] to the sons of Gad according to their peoples. 25 And [³were ¹their ²borders] Jazer, and all the cities of Gilead, and half of the land of the sons of Ammon, unto Aroer which is against the face of Rabbah. 26 And from Heshbon unto Ramath by Mizpha, Betonim, and Mahanaim unto the borders of Debir; 27 and Enemek, Beth-aram, and Beth-nimrah, and Succoth, and Zaphon, and the remaining kingdom of Sihon king of Heshbon. The Jordan shall define the bounds, unto part of the sea of Chinnereth, on the other side of the Jordan from the east. 28 This is the inheritance of the sons of Gad according to their peoples, and according to their cities, and their properties. 29 And Moses gave to the half tribe of Manasseh, and it became to the halves of the tribe of the sons of Manasseh according to their peoples. 30 And [²were ¹their borders] from Mahanaim, and all the kingdom of Bashan, and all the kingdom of Og king of Bashan, and all the towns of Jair, which are in the land of Bashan, sixty cities; 31 even half of Gilead, and in Ashtaroth, and in Edrei, cities of the kingdom of Og in Bashan -- these were to the sons of Machir the son of Manasseh, and to the half of the sons of Machir the son of Manasseh according to their peoples. 32 These are which Moses gave to inherit in the wilderness of Moab on the other side of the Jordan by Jericho from the east. 33 And to the tribe of Levi [²did not give ¹Moses] an inheritance. The lord God of Israel, he is their inheritance in which manner he said to them.
