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
.
This is the land that yet remaineth
: all the borders
of the Philistines
, and all Geshuri
,
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
:
From the south, all the land
of the Canaanites
, and Mearah
that is beside the Sidonians
, unto Aphek
, to the borders
of the Amorites
:
And the land of the Giblites
, and all Lebanon
, toward the sunrising
, from Baalgad
under mount
Hermon
unto the entering
into Hamath
.
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.
Now therefore divide this land
for an inheritance
unto the nine
tribes
, and the half
tribe
of Manasseh
,
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;
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
;
And all the cities of Sihon
king
of the Amorites
, which reigned
in Heshbon
, unto the border
of the children
of Ammon
;
And Gilead, and the border
of the Geshurites
and Maachathites
, and all mount
Hermon
, and all Bashan
unto Salcah
;
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
.
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
.
Only unto the tribe 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.
And Moses gave
unto the tribe
of the children
of Reuben
inheritance according to their families
.
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
;
Heshbon, and all her cities
that are in the plain
; Dibon
, and Bamothbaal
, and Bethbaalmeon
,
And Jahazah, and Kedemoth
, and Mephaath
,
And Kirjathaim, and Sibmah
, and Zarethshahar
in the mount
of the valley
,
And Bethpeor, and Ashdothpisgah
, and Bethjeshimoth
,
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
.
Balaam also the son
of Beor
, the soothsayer
, did the children
of Israel
slay
with the sword
among them
that were slain
by them.
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.
And Moses gave
inheritance unto the tribe
of Gad
, even unto the children
of Gad
according to their families
.
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
;
And from Heshbon unto Ramathmizpeh
, and Betonim
; and from Mahanaim
unto the border
of Debir
;
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
.
This is the inheritance of the children
of Gad
after their families
, the cities
, and their villages
.
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
.
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
:
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
.
These are the countries which Moses did distribute for inheritance
in the plains
of Moab
, on the other side
Jordan
, by Jericho
, eastward
.
But unto the tribe of Levi
Moses
gave
not any inheritance
: the LORD
God
of Israel
was their inheritance
, as he said
unto them.
