Now Joshua was old and full of years; and the Lord said to him, You are old and full of years, and there is still very much land to be taken.
2
This is the land which is still to be taken: all the country of the Philistines , and all the Geshurites;
3
From the Shihor , which is before Egypt , to the edge of Ekron to the north , which is taken to be Canaanite property: the five chiefs of the Philistines ; the Gazites, and the Ashdodites, the Ashkelonites, the Gittites, and the Ekronites, as well as the Avvim;
4
On the south: all the land of the Canaanites, and Mearah which is the property of the Zidonians, to Aphek, as far as the limit of the Amorites:
5
And the land of the Gebalites, and all Lebanon , looking east, from Baal-gad under Mount Hermon as far as Hamath:
6
All the people of the hill -country from Lebanon to Misrephoth-maim, all the Zidonians; them will I send out from before the children of Israel : only make division of it to Israel for a heritage , as I have given you orders to do.
7
So now make division of this land for a heritage to the nine tribes , and the half -tribe of Manasseh .
8
With him the Reubenites and the Gadites have been given their heritage , which Moses gave them, on the east side of Jordan , as Moses , the servant of the Lord , gave them;
9
From Aroer, on the edge of the valley of the Arnon, and the town in the middle of the valley, and all the table-land from Medeba to Dibon ;
10
And all the towns of Sihon, king of the Amorites, who was ruling in Heshbon , to the limits of the children of Ammon ;
11
And Gilead , and the land of the Geshurites and the Maacathites, and all Mount Hermon , and all Bashan to Salecah;
12
All the kingdom of Og in Bashan, who was ruling in Ashtaroth and in Edrei (he was one of the last of the Rephaim ); these did Moses overcome, driving them out of their country.
13
However, the people of Israel did not send out the Geshurites, or the Maacathites: but Geshur and Maacath are living among Israel to this day .
14
Only to the tribe of Levi he gave no heritage ; the offerings of the Lord , the God of Israel , made by fire are his heritage , as he said to him.
15
And Moses gave their heritage to the tribe of Reuben by their families .
16
Their limit was from Aroer, on the edge of the valley of the Arnon, and the town in the middle of the valley, and all the table-land by Medeba;
17
Heshbon and all her towns in the table-land; Dibon , and Bamoth-baal, and Beth-baal-meon;
18
And Jahaz, and Kedemoth, and Mephaath ;
19
And Kiriathaim , and Sibmah , and Zereth-shahar in the mountain of the valley ;
20
And Beth-peor, and the slopes of Pisgah, and Beth-jeshimoth;
21
And all the towns of the table-land , and all the kingdom of Sihon, king of the Amorites, who was ruling in Heshbon , whom Moses overcame, together with the chiefs of Midian , Evi, and Rekem, and Zur, and Hur , and Reba, the chiefs of Sihon, who were living in the land .
22
And Balaam , the son of Beor, the prophet, the children of Israel put to death with the sword .
23
And the limit of the children of Reuben was the edge of Jordan . This was the heritage of the children of Reuben by their families , with its towns and its unwalled places.
24
And Moses gave their heritage to the tribe of Gad by their families .
25
And their limit was Jazer , and all the towns of Gilead , and half the land of the children of Ammon , to Aroer before Rabbah;
26
And from Heshbon to Ramath-mizpeh, and Betonim; and from Mahanaim to the edge of Debir;
27
And in the valley , Beth-haram, and Beth-nimrah, and Succoth , and Zaphon, the rest of the kingdom of Sihon, king of Heshbon , having Jordan for its limit , to the end of the sea of Chinnereth on the east side of Jordan .
28
This is the heritage of the children of Gad by their families , with its towns and its unwalled places
29
And Moses gave their heritage to the half -tribe of Manasseh by their families .
30
And their limit was from Mahanaim , all Bashan, all the kingdom of Og , king of Bashan , and all Havvoth-Jair, in Bashan, sixty towns ;
31
And half Gilead , and Ashtaroth, and Edrei, towns of the kingdom of Og in Bashan, were for the children of Machir , the son of Manasseh , for half of the children of Machir by their families .
32
These are the heritages of which Moses made distribution in the lowlands of Moab , on the other side of Jordan in Jericho , to the east.
33
But to the tribe of Levi Moses gave no heritage : the Lord , the God of Israel , is their heritage , as he said to them.
