Joshua 13:2-13

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.
