1Now 1JoshuaH3091 was oldH2204 and advancedH935 in yearsH3117 when the LordH3068 saidH559 to him, “You are oldH2204 and advancedH935 in yearsH3117, and veryH3966 muchH7235 of the landH776 remainsH7604 to be possessedH3423. 2ThisH2088 is the landH776 that remainsH7604: allH3605 the regionsH1552 of the PhilistinesH6430 and allH3605 those of the 2GeshuritesH1651; 3from the ShihorH7883 whichH834 is 3eastH5921H6440 of EgyptH4714, even as farH5704 as the borderH1366 of EkronH6138 to the northH6828 (it is countedH2803 as CanaaniteH3669); the 4fiveH2568 lordsH5633 of the PhilistinesH6430: the GaziteH5841, the AshdoditeH796, the AshkeloniteH832, the GittiteH1663, the EkroniteH6139; and the AvviteH5761 45to the southH8486, allH3605 the landH776 of the CanaaniteH3669, and MearahH4632 that belongs to the SidoniansH6722, as farH5704 as 6AphekH663, to the borderH1366 of the 7AmoriteH567; 5and the landH776 of the 8GebaliteH1382, and allH3605 of LebanonH3844, toward the 9eastH4217H8121, 10from Baal-gadH1171 belowH8478 MountH2022 HermonH2768 as farH5704 as 11Lebo-hamathH935. 6AllH3605 the inhabitantsH3427 of the hillH2022 countryH2022 from LebanonH3844 as farH5704 as 12Misrephoth-maimH4956, allH3605 the SidoniansH6722, I will 13driveH3423 them out from beforeH4480H6440 the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478; 14onlyH7534 allotH5307 it to IsraelH3478 for an inheritanceH5159 as I have commandedH6680 you. 7NowH6258 therefore, apportionH2505 thisH2088 landH776 for an inheritanceH5159 to the nineH8672 tribesH7626 and the half-tribeH2677H7626 of ManassehH4519.”

8With 15the other half-tribe, the ReubenitesH7206 and the GaditesH1425 receivedH3947 their inheritanceH5159 whichH834 MosesH4872 gaveH5414 them 16beyondH5676 the JordanH3383 to the eastH4217, justH3512 as MosesH4872 the servantH5650 of the LordH3068 gaveH5414 to them; 9from AroerH6177, whichH834 is on the edgeH8193 of the valleyH5158 of the ArnonH769, with the cityH5892 whichH834 is in the middleH8432 of the valleyH5158, and allH3605 the plainH4334 of MedebaH4311, as farH5704 as DibonH1769; 10and allH3605 the citiesH5892 of SihonH5511 kingH4428 of the AmoritesH567, whoH834 reignedH4427 in HeshbonH2809, as farH5704 as the borderH1366 of the sonsH1121 of AmmonH5983; 11and 17GileadH1568, and the 18territoryH1366 of the GeshuritesH1651 and MaacathitesH4602, and allH3605 MountH2022 HermonH2768, and allH3605 BashanH1316 as farH5704 as SalecahH5548; 12allH3605 the kingdomH4468 of 19OgH5747 in BashanH1316, whoH834 reignedH4427 in AshtarothH6252 and in EdreiH154 (he alone was leftH7604 of the remnantH3499 of the RephaimH7497); for MosesH4872 20struckH5221 them and dispossessedH3423 them. 13But the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 did not dispossessH3423 the GeshuritesH1651 or the MaacathitesH4602; for GeshurH1650 and MaacathH4601 liveH3427 amongH7130 IsraelH3478 untilH5704 thisH2088 dayH3117. 1421OnlyH7534 to the tribeH7626 of LeviH3878 he did not giveH5414 an inheritanceH5159; the offeringsH801 by fireH801 to the LordH3068, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, are 22their inheritanceH5159, as He spokeH1696 to him.

15So MosesH4872 gaveH5414 an inheritance to the tribeH4294 of the sonsH1121 of ReubenH7205 according to their familiesH4940. 16Their 23territoryH1366 was 24from AroerH6177, whichH834 is on the edgeH8193 of the valleyH5158 of the ArnonH769, with the cityH5892 whichH834 is in the middleH8432 of the valleyH5158 and allH3605 the plainH4334 by MedebaH4311; 17HeshbonH2809, and allH3605 its citiesH5892 whichH834 are on the plainH4334: DibonH1769 and Bamoth-baalH1120H1168 and Beth-baal-meonH1010, 18and 25JahazH3096 and KedemothH6932 and MephaathH4158, 19and 26KiriathaimH7156 and SibmahH7643 and Zereth-shaharH6890 on the hillH2022 of the valleyH6010, 20and Beth-peorH1047 and the slopesH794 of PisgahH6449 and Beth-jeshimothH1020, 21even allH3605 the citiesH5892 of the plainH4334 and allH3605 the kingdomH4468 of SihonH5511 kingH4428 of the AmoritesH567 whoH834 reignedH4427 in HeshbonH2809, whomH834 MosesH4872 struckH5221 with the chiefsH5387 of MidianH4080, 27EviH189 and RekemH7552 and ZurH6698 and HurH2354 and RebaH7254, the princesH5257 of SihonH5511, who livedH3427 in the landH776. 22The sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 also killedH2026 28BalaamH1109 the sonH1121 of BeorH1160, the divinerH7080, with the swordH2719 amongH413 the rest of their slainH2491. 23The borderH1366 of the sonsH1121 of ReubenH7205 was the 29JordanH3383. ThisH2088 was the inheritanceH5159 of the sonsH1121 of ReubenH7205 according to their familiesH4940, the citiesH5892 and their villagesH2691.

24MosesH4872 also gaveH5414 an inheritance to the tribeH4294 of GadH1410, to the sonsH1121 of GadH1410, according to their familiesH4940. 25Their territoryH1366 was 30JazerH3270, and allH3605 the citiesH5892 of GileadH1568, and halfH2677 the landH776 of the sonsH1121 of AmmonH5983, as farH5704 as AroerH6177 whichH834 is beforeH5921H6440 RabbahH7237; 26and from HeshbonH2809 as farH5704 as Ramath-mizpehH7434 and BetonimH993, and from MahanaimH4266 as farH5704 as the borderH1366 of 31DebirH1688; 27and in the valleyH6010, Beth-haramH1027 and Beth-nimrahH1039 and SuccothH5523 and ZaphonH6829, the restH3499 of the kingdomH4468 of SihonH5511 kingH4428 of HeshbonH2809, with the JordanH3383 32as a borderH1366, as farH5704 as the lower endH7097 of the SeaH3220 of 3334ChinnerethH3672 beyondH5676 the JordanH3383 to the eastH4217. 28ThisH2088 is the inheritanceH5159 of the sonsH1121 of GadH1410 according to their familiesH4940, the citiesH5892 and their villagesH2691.

29MosesH4872 also gaveH5414 an inheritance to the half-tribeH2677H7626 of ManassehH4519; and it was for the half-tribeH2677H4294 of the sonsH1121 of ManassehH4519 according to their familiesH4940. 30Their territoryH1366 was from MahanaimH4266, allH3605 BashanH1316, allH3605 the kingdomH4468 of OgH5747 kingH4428 of BashanH1316, and allH3605 35the 36townsH2333 of JairH2971, whichH834 are in BashanH1316, sixtyH8346 citiesH5892; 31also halfH2677 of GileadH1568, with 37AshtarothH6252 and EdreiH154, the citiesH5892 of the kingdomH4468 of OgH5747 in BashanH1316, were for the sonsH1121 of MachirH4353 the sonH1121 of ManassehH4519, for halfH2677 of the sonsH1121 of MachirH4353 according to their familiesH4940.

32TheseH428 are the territories whichH834 MosesH4872 apportionedH5157 for an inheritanceH5157 in the plainsH6160 of MoabH4124, beyondH4480H5676 the JordanH3383 at JerichoH3405 to the eastH4217. 33But 38to the tribeH7626 of LeviH3878, MosesH4872 did not giveH5414 an inheritanceH5159; the LordH3068, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, is their inheritanceH5159, as He had 39promisedH1696 to them.
