Joshua 13

American Standard Version

1Now JoshuaH3091 was oldH2204 and well stricken in years; and Jehovah saidH559 unto him, Thou art oldH2204 and well stricken in years, and there remaineth yet veryH3966 muchH7235 landH776 to be possessedH3423. 2This is the landH776 that yet remaineth: all the regions of the PhilistinesH6430, and all the Geshurites; 3from the ShihorH7883, which is before EgyptH4714, even unto the borderH1366 of EkronH6138 northward, which is reckonedH2803 to the CanaanitesH3669; the fiveH2568 lords of the PhilistinesH6430; the Gazites, and the AshdoditesH796, the Ashkelonites, the Gittites, and the Ekronites; also the Avvim, 4on the southH8486; all the landH776 of the CanaanitesH3669, and Mearah that belongeth to the SidoniansH6722, unto AphekH663, to the borderH1366 of the AmoritesH567; 5and the landH776 of the Gebalites, and all LebanonH3844, toward the sunrising, from Baal-gadH1171 under mount HermonH2768 unto the entrance of HamathH2574; 6all the inhabitantsH3427 of the hill-country from LebanonH3844 unto Misrephoth-maimH4956, even all the SidoniansH6722; them will I drive out from before the children of IsraelH3478: onlyH7535 allot thou it unto IsraelH3478 for an inheritanceH5159, as I have commandedH6680 thee. 7NowH6258 thereforeH6258 divideH2505 this landH776 for an inheritanceH5159 unto the nineH8672 tribesH7626, and the half-tribe of ManassehH4519.

8With him the Reubenites and the Gadites receivedH3947 their inheritanceH5159, which MosesH4872 gaveH5414 them, beyond the JordanH3383 eastward, even as MosesH4872 the servantH5650 of Jehovah gaveH5414 them: 9from AroerH6177, that is on the edgeH8193 of the valley of the ArnonH769, and the cityH5892 that is in the middleH8432 of the valley, and all the plainH4334 of MedebaH4311 unto DibonH1769; 10and all the citiesH5892 of SihonH5511 kingH4428 of the AmoritesH567, who reignedH4427 in HeshbonH2809, unto the borderH1366 of the children of AmmonH5983; 11and GileadH1568, and the borderH1366 of the Geshurites and Maacathites, and all mount HermonH2768, and all BashanH1316 unto SalecahH5548; 12all the kingdomH4468 of OgH5747 in BashanH1316, who reignedH4427 in AshtarothH6252 and in EdreiH154 (the same was leftH7604 of the remnantH7604 of the RephaimH7497); for these did MosesH4872 smite, and drove them out. 13Nevertheless the children of IsraelH3478 drove not out the Geshurites, nor the Maacathites: but GeshurH1650 and Maacath dwellH3427 in the midstH7130 of IsraelH3478 unto this dayH3117. 14OnlyH7535 unto the tribeH7626 of LeviH3878 he gaveH5414 no inheritanceH5159; the offeringsH801 of Jehovah, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, madeH5414 by fireH801 are his inheritanceH5159, as he spake unto him.

15And MosesH4872 gaveH5414 unto the tribeH4294 of the children of ReubenH7205 according to their familiesH4940. 16And their borderH1366 wasH1961 from AroerH6177, that is on the edgeH8193 of the valley of the ArnonH769, and the cityH5892 that is in the middleH8432 of the valley, and all the plainH4334 by MedebaH4311; 17HeshbonH2809, and all its citiesH5892 that are in the plainH4334; DibonH1769, and Bamoth-baal, and Beth-baal-meon, 18and JahazH3096, and KedemothH6932, and MephaathH4158, 19and KiriathaimH7156, and SibmahH7643, and Zereth-shahar in the mount of the valleyH6010, 20and Beth-peorH1047, and the slopes of PisgahH6449, and Beth-jeshimothH1020, 21and all the citiesH5892 of the plainH4334, and all the kingdomH4468 of SihonH5511 kingH4428 of the AmoritesH567, who reignedH4427 in HeshbonH2809, whom MosesH4872 smote with the chiefs of MidianH4080, EviH189, and RekemH7552, and ZurH6698, and HurH2354, and RebaH7254, the princesH5387 of SihonH5511, that dweltH3427 in the landH776. 22BalaamH1109 also the sonH1121 of BeorH1160, the soothsayer, did the children of IsraelH3478 slayH2026 with the swordH2719 among the rest of their slainH2026. 23And the borderH1366 of the children of ReubenH7205 wasH1961 the JordanH3383, and the borderH1366 thereof. This wasH1961 the inheritanceH5159 of the children of ReubenH7205 according to their familiesH4940, the citiesH5892 and the villages thereof.

24And MosesH4872 gaveH5414 unto the tribeH4294 of GadH1410, unto the children of GadH1410, according to their familiesH4940. 25And their borderH1366 wasH1961 JazerH3270, and all the citiesH5892 of GileadH1568, and halfH2677 the landH776 of the children of AmmonH5983, unto AroerH6177 that is before RabbahH7237; 26and from HeshbonH2809 unto Ramath-mizpeh, and Betonim; and from MahanaimH4266 unto the borderH1366 of DebirH1688; 27and in the valleyH6010, Beth-haram, and Beth-nimrahH1039, and SuccothH5523, and Zaphon, the restH3499 of the kingdomH4468 of SihonH5511 kingH4428 of HeshbonH2809, the JordanH3383 and the borderH1366 thereof, unto the uttermost part of the seaH3220 of Chinnereth beyond the JordanH3383 eastward. 28This is the inheritanceH5159 of the children of GadH1410 according to their familiesH4940, the citiesH5892 and the villages thereof.

29And MosesH4872 gaveH5414inheritance unto the half-tribe of ManassehH4519: and it wasH1961 for the half-tribe of the children of ManassehH4519 according to their familiesH4940. 30And their borderH1366 wasH1961 from MahanaimH4266, all BashanH1316, all the kingdomH4468 of OgH5747 kingH4428 of BashanH1316, and all the towns of JairH2971, which are in BashanH1316, threescore citiesH5892: 31and halfH2677 GileadH1568, and AshtarothH6252, and EdreiH154, the citiesH5892 of the kingdomH4468 of OgH5747 in BashanH1316, were for the children of Machir the sonH1121 of ManassehH4519, even for the halfH2677 of the children of Machir according to their familiesH4940.

32These are the inheritances which MosesH4872 distributed in the plainsH6160 of MoabH4124, beyond the JordanH3383 at JerichoH3405, eastward. 33But unto the tribeH7626 of LeviH3878 MosesH4872 gaveH5414 no inheritanceH5159: Jehovah, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, is their inheritanceH5159, as he spake unto them.
