Joshua 13:2-13
2This is the landH776 that yet remainethH7604: all the bordersH1552 of the PhilistinesH6430, and all GeshuriH1651,
3From SihorH7883, which is beforeH6440 EgyptH4714, even unto the bordersH1366 of EkronH6138 northwardH6828, which is countedH2803 to the CanaaniteH3669: fiveH2568 lordsH5633 of the PhilistinesH6430; the GazathitesH5841, and the AshdothitesH796, the EshkalonitesH832, the GittitesH1663, and the EkronitesH6139; also the AvitesH5761:
4From the southH8486, all the landH776 of the CanaanitesH3669, and MearahH4632 that is beside the SidoniansH6722, unto AphekH663, to the bordersH1366 of the AmoritesH567:1
5And the landH776 of the GiblitesH1382, and all LebanonH3844, toward the sunrisingH8121H4217, from Baal–gadH1171 under mountH2022 HermonH2768 unto the enteringH935 into HamathH2574.
6All the inhabitantsH3427 of the hill countryH2022 from LebanonH3844 unto Misrephoth–maimH4956, and all the SidoniansH6722, them will I drive outH3423 from beforeH6440 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478: only divide thou it by lotH5307 unto the IsraelitesH3478 for an inheritanceH5159, as I have commandedH6680 thee.
7Now therefore divideH2505 this landH776 for an inheritanceH5159 unto the nineH8672 tribesH7626, and the halfH2677 tribeH7626 of ManassehH4519,
8With whom the ReubenitesH7206 and the GaditesH1425 have receivedH3947 their inheritanceH5159, which MosesH4872 gaveH5414 them, beyondH5676 JordanH3383 eastwardH4217, even as MosesH4872 the servantH5650 of YhwhH3068 gaveH5414 them;
9From AroerH6177, that is upon the bankH8193 of the riverH5158 ArnonH769, and the cityH5892 that is in the midstH8432 of the riverH5158, and all the plainH4334 of MedebaH4311 unto DibonH1769;
10And all the citiesH5892 of SihonH5511 kingH4428 of the AmoritesH567, which reignedH4427 in HeshbonH2809, unto the borderH1366 of the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983;
11And GileadH1568, and the borderH1366 of the GeshuritesH1651 and MaachathitesH4602, and all mountH2022 HermonH2768, and all BashanH1316 unto SalcahH5548;
12All the kingdomH4468 of OgH5747 in BashanH1316, which reignedH4427 in AshtarothH6252 and in EdreiH154, who remainedH7604 of the remnantH3499 of the giantsH7497: for these did MosesH4872 smiteH5221, and cast them outH3423.
13Nevertheless the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 expelledH3423 not the GeshuritesH1651, nor the MaachathitesH4602: but the GeshuritesH1650 and the MaachathitesH4601 dwellH3427 amongH7130 the IsraelitesH3478 until this dayH3117.
