Joshua 13:1-7

1Joshua had become a very old man. The Lord said to him, ‘You are now very old. There is still a lot of land that you have not yet taken.

2This is the land left for you to take: All the land of the Philistines and the Geshurites.

3Their land goes from the Shihor river on the east side of Egypt, to the border of Ekron's land. That part belongs to the Canaanites. The land of the Philistine rulers in Gaza, Ashdod, Ashkelon, Gath and Ekron. There is also the land of the Avvites in the south.

4You must take all the land of the Canaanites, which goes from Arah in Sidon region, and continues to Aphek, as far as the border of the Amorites.

5There is also the land of the Gebalites, and all of Lebanon in the east. That land goes from Baal Gad at the side of Hermon mountain, to Lebo-Hamath.

6I myself will chase out all the people of Sidon in front of the Israelites. I will chase them out of the hill country, from Lebanon as far as Misrephoth Maim. You must give this land to the tribes of Israel, as I have already told you.

7Each of the nine tribes, and the half tribe of Manasseh, must receive its own part of the land.’
