Now aJoshua was old
and advanced
in years
when the LORD
said
to him, "You are old
and advanced
in years
, and very
much
of the land
remains
to be possessed
.
"This is the land
that remains
: all
the regions
of the Philistines
and all
those of the aGeshurites
;
from the Shihor which
is 1east
of Egypt
, even as far
as the border
of Ekron
to the north
(it is counted
as Canaanite
); the afive
lords
of the Philistines
: the Gazite
, the Ashdodite
, the Ashkelonite
, the Gittite
, the Ekronite
; and the Avvite
1to the south, all
the land
of the Canaanite
, and Mearah
that belongs to the Sidonians
, as far
as aAphek
, to the border
of the bAmorite
;
and the land of the aGebalite
, and all
of Lebanon
, toward the 1east
, bfrom Baal-gad
below
Mount
Hermon
as far
as 2Lebo-hamath
.
"All the inhabitants
of the hill
country
from Lebanon
as far
as aMisrephoth-maim
, all
the Sidonians
, I will 1drive
them out from before
the sons
of Israel
; bonly
allot
it to Israel
for an inheritance
as I have commanded
you.
"Now therefore, apportion
this
land
for an inheritance
to the nine
tribes
and the half-tribe
of Manasseh
."
With 1the other half-tribe, the Reubenites and the Gadites
received
their inheritance
which
Moses
gave
them abeyond
the Jordan
to the east
, just
as Moses
the servant
of the LORD
gave
to them;
from Aroer, which
is on the edge
of the valley
of the Arnon
, with the city
which
is in the middle
of the valley
, and all
the plain
of Medeba
, as far
as Dibon
;
and all the cities
of Sihon
king
of the Amorites
, who
reigned
in Heshbon
, as far
as the border
of the sons
of Ammon
;
and aGilead, and the 1territory
of the Geshurites
and Maacathites
, and all
Mount
Hermon
, and all
Bashan
as far
as Salecah
;
all the kingdom
of aOg
in Bashan
, who
reigned
in Ashtaroth
and in Edrei
(he alone was left
of the remnant
of the Rephaim
); for Moses
bstruck
them and dispossessed
them.
But the sons of Israel
did not dispossess
the Geshurites
or the Maacathites
; for Geshur
and Maacath
live
among
Israel
until
this
day
.
aOnly to the tribe
of Levi
he did not give
an inheritance
; the offerings
by fire
to the LORD
, the God
of Israel
, are 1their inheritance
, as He spoke
to him.
So Moses gave
an inheritance to the tribe
of the sons
of Reuben
according to their families
.
Their 1territory was afrom Aroer
, which
is on the edge
of the valley
of the Arnon
, with the city
which
is in the middle
of the valley
and all
the plain
by Medeba
;
Heshbon, and all
its cities
which
are on the plain
: Dibon
and Bamoth-baal
and Beth-baal-meon
,
and aJahaz and Kedemoth
and Mephaath
,
and aKiriathaim and Sibmah
and Zereth-shahar
on the hill
of the valley
,
and Beth-peor and the slopes
of Pisgah
and Beth-jeshimoth
,
even all the cities
of the plain
and all
the kingdom
of Sihon
king
of the Amorites
who
reigned
in Heshbon
, whom
Moses
struck
with the chiefs
of Midian
, aEvi
and Rekem
and Zur
and Hur
and Reba
, the princes
of Sihon
, who lived
in the land
.
The sons of Israel
also killed
aBalaam
the son
of Beor
, the diviner
, with the sword
among
the rest of their slain
.
The border of the sons
of Reuben
was the 1Jordan
. This
was the inheritance
of the sons
of Reuben
according to their families
, the cities
and their villages
.
Moses also gave
an inheritance to the tribe
of Gad
, to the sons
of Gad
, according to their families
.
Their territory was aJazer
, and all
the cities
of Gilead
, and half
the land
of the sons
of Ammon
, as far
as Aroer
which
is before
Rabbah
;
and from Heshbon as far
as Ramath-mizpeh
and Betonim
, and from Mahanaim
as far
as the border
of 1Debir
;
and in the valley, Beth-haram
and Beth-nimrah
and Succoth
and Zaphon
, the rest
of the kingdom
of Sihon
king
of Heshbon
, with the Jordan
1as a border
, as far
as the lower end
of the Sea
of 2 aChinnereth
beyond
the Jordan
to the east
.
This is the inheritance
of the sons
of Gad
according to their families
, the cities
and their villages
.
Moses also gave
an inheritance to the half-tribe
of Manasseh
; and it was for the half-tribe
of the sons
of Manasseh
according to their families
.
Their territory was from Mahanaim
, all
Bashan
, all
the kingdom
of Og
king
of Bashan
, and all
athe 1towns
of Jair
, which
are in Bashan
, sixty
cities
;
also half of Gilead
, with aAshtaroth
and Edrei
, the cities
of the kingdom
of Og
in Bashan
, were for the sons
of Machir
the son
of Manasseh
, for half
of the sons
of Machir
according to their families
.
These are the territories which
Moses
apportioned
for an inheritance
in the plains
of Moab
, beyond
the Jordan
at Jericho
to the east
.
But ato the tribe of Levi
, Moses
did not give
an inheritance
; the LORD
, the God
of Israel
, is their inheritance
, as He had 1promised
to them.
