¹ Josue was old, and far advanced in years, and the Lord said to him: Thou art grown old, and advanced in age, and there is a very large country left, which is not yet divided by lot:

² To wit, all Galilee, Philistia, and all Gessuri.

³ From the troubled river, that watereth Egypt, unto the borders of Accaron northward: the land of Chanaan, which is divided among the lords of the Philistines, the Gazites, the Azotians, the Ascalonites, the Gethites, and the Accronites.

⁴ And on the south side are the Hevites, all the land of Chanaan, and Maara of the Sidonians as far as Apheca, and the borders of the Amorrhite,

⁵ And his confines. The country also of Libanus towards the east from Baalgad under mount Hermon to the entering into Emath.

⁶ Of all that dwell in the mountains from Libanus, to the waters of Maserephoth, and all the Sidonians. I am he that will cut them off from before the face of the children of Israel. So let their land come in as a part of the inheritance of Israel, as I have commanded thee.

⁷ And now divide the land in possession to the nine tribes, and to the half tribe of Manasses,

⁸ With whom Ruben and Gad have possessed the land, which Moses the servant of the Lord delivered to them beyond the river Jordan, on the east side.

⁹ From Aroer, which is upon the bank of the torrent Amen, and in the midst of the valley and all the plains of Medaba, as far as Dibon:

¹⁰ And all the cities of Sehon, king of the Amorrhites, who reigned in Hesebon, unto the borders of the children of Ammon.

¹¹ And Galaad, and the borders of Gessuri and Machati, and all mount Hermon, and all Basan as far as Salecha,

¹² All the kingdom of Og in Basan, who reigned in Astaroth and Edrai, he was of the remains of the Raphaims: and Moses overthrew and destroyed them.

¹³ And the children of Israel would not destroy Gessuri and Machati: and they have dwelt in the midst of Israel, until this present day.

¹⁴ But to the tribe of Levi he gave no possession: but the sacrifices and victims of the Lord God of Israel, are his inheritance, as he spoke to him.

¹⁵ And Moses gave a possession to the children of Ruben according to their kindreds.

¹⁶ And their border was from Aroer, which is on the bank of the torrent Arnon, and in the midst of the valley of the same torrent: all the plain, that leadeth to Medaba,

¹⁷ And Hesebon, and all their villages, which are in the plains. Dibon also, and Bamothbaal, and the town of Baalmaon,

¹⁸ And Jassa, and Cidimoth, and Mephaath,

¹⁹ And Cariathaim, and Sabama, and Sarathasar in the mountain of the valley.

²⁰ Bethphogor and Asedoth, Phasga and Bethiesimoth,

²¹ And all the cities of the plain, and all the kingdoms of Sehon king of the Amorrhites, that reigned in Hesebon, whom Moses slew with the princes of Madian: Hevi, and Recem, and Sur and Hur, and Rebe, dukes of Sehon inhabitants of the land.

²² Balaam also the son of Beer the soothsayer, the children of Israel slew with the sword among the rest that were slain.

²³ And the river Jordan was the herder of the children of Ruben. This is the possession of the Rubenites, by their kindreds, of cities and villages.

²⁴ And Moses gave to the tribe of Gad and to his children by their kindreds a possession, of which this is the division.

²⁵ The border of Jaser, and all the cities of Galaad, and half the land of the children of Ammon: as far as Aroer which is over against Rabba:

²⁶ And from Hesebon unto Ramoth, Masphe and Betonim: and from Manaim unto the borders of Dabir.

²⁷ And in the valley Betharan and Bethnemra, and Socoth, and Saphon the other part of the kingdom of Sehon king of Hesebon: the limit of this also is the Jordan, as far as the uttermost part of the sea of Cenereth beyond the Jordan on the east side.

²⁸ This is the possession of the children of Gad by their families, their cities, and villages.

²⁹ He gave also to the half tribe of Manasses and his children possession according to their kindreds,

³⁰ The beginning whereof is this: from Manaim all Basan, and all the kingdoms of Og king of Basan, and all the villages of Jair, which are in Basan, threescore towns.

³¹ And half Galaad, and Astaroth, and Edrai, cities of the kingdom of Og in Basan: to the children of Machir, the son of Manasses, to one? half of the children of Machir according to their kindreds.

³² This possession Moses divided in the plains of Moab, beyond the Jordan, over against Jericho on the east side.

³³ But to the tribe of Levi he gave no possession: because the Lord the God of Israel himself is their possession, as he spoke to them.

¹ And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:

² Thou therefore, O son of man, take up a lamentation for Tyre:

³ And say to Tyre that dwelleth at the entry of the sea, being the mart of the people for many islands: Thus saith the Lord God: O Tyre, thou hast said: I am of perfect beauty,

⁴ And situate in the heart of the sea. Thy neighbours, that built thee, have perfected thy beauty:

⁵ With fir trees of Sanir they have built thee with all sea planks: they have taken cedars from Libanus to make thee masts.

⁶ They have cut thy oars out of the oaks of Basan: and they have made thee benches of Indian ivory and cabins with things brought from the islands of Italy.

⁷ Fine broidered linen from Egypt was woven for thy sail, to be spread on thy mast: blue and purple from the islands of Elisa, were made thy covering.

⁸ The inhabitants of Sidon, and the Arabians were thy rowers : thy wise men, O Tyre, were thy pilots.

⁹ The ancients of Gebal, and the wise men thereof furnished mariners for the service of thy various furniture: all the ships of the sea, and their mariners were thy factors.

¹⁰ The Persians, and Lydians, and the Libyans were thy soldiers in thy army: they hung up the buckler and the helmet in thee for thy ornament.

¹¹ The men of Arad were with thy army upon thy walls round about: the Pygmeans also that were in thy towers, hung up their quivers on thy walls round about: they perfected thy beauty.

¹² The Carthaginians thy merchants supplied thy fairs with a multitude of all kinds of riches, with silver, iron, tin, and lead.

¹³ Greece, Thubal, and Mosoch, they were thy merchants: they brought to thy people slaves and vessels of brass.

¹⁴ From the house of Thogorma they brought horses, and horsemen, and mules to thy market.

¹⁵ The men of Dedan were thy merchants: many islands were the traffic of thy hand, they exchanged for thy price teeth of ivory and ebony.

¹⁶ The Syrian was thy merchant: by reason of the multitude of thy works, they set forth precious stones, and purple, and broidered works, and fine linen, and silk, and chodchod in thy market.

¹⁷ Juda and the land of Israel, they were thy merchants with the best corn: they set forth balm, and honey, and oil, and rosin in thy fairs.

¹⁸ The men of Damascus were thy merchants in the multitude of thy works, in the multitude of divers riches, in rich wine, in wool of the best colour.

¹⁹ Dan, and Greece, and Mosel have set forth in thy marts wrought iron: stacte, and calamus were in thy market.

²⁰ The men of Dedan were thy merchants in tapestry for seats.

²¹ Arabia, and all the princes of Cedar, they were the merchants of thy hand: thy merchants came to thee with lambs, and rants, and kids.

²² The sellers of Saba, and Reema, they were thy merchants: with all the best spices, and precious stones, and gold, which they set forth in thy market.

²³ Haran, and Chene, and Eden were thy merchants; Saba, Assur, and Chelmad sold to thee.

²⁴ They were thy merchants in divers manners, with bales of blue cloth, and of embroidered work, and of precious riches, which were wrapped up and bound with cords: they had cedars also in thy merchandise.

²⁵ The ships of the sea, were thy chief in thy merchandise : and thou wast replenished, and glorified exceedingly in the heart of the sea.

²⁶ Thy rowers have brought thee into great waters: the south wind hath broken thee in the heart of the sea.

²⁷ Thy riches, and thy treasures, and thy manifold furniture, thy mariners, and thy pilots, who kept thy goods, and were chief over thy people: thy men of war also, that were in thee, with all thy multitude that is in the midst of thee: shall fall in the heart of the sea in the day of thy ruin.

²⁸ Thy fleets shall be troubled at the sound of the cry of thy pilots.

²⁹ And all that handled the oar shall come down from their ships: the mariners, and all the pilots of the sea shall stand upon the land:

³⁰ And they shall mourn over thee with a loud voice, and shall cry bitterly: and they shall cast up dust upon their heads, and shall be sprinkled with ashes.

³¹ And they shall shave themselves bald for thee, and shall be girded with haircloth: and they shall weep for thee with bitterness of soul, with most bitter weeping.

³² And they shall take up a mournful song for thee, and snail lament thee: What city is like Tyre, which is become silent in the midst of the sea?

³³ Which by thy merchandise that went from thee by sea didst fill many people: which by the multitude of thy riches, and of thy people didst enrich the kings of the earth.

³⁴ Now thou art destroyed by the sea, thy riches are in the bottom of the waters, and all the multitude that was in the midst of thee is fallen.

³⁵ All the inhabitants of the islands are astonished at thee: and all their kings being struck with the storm have changed their countenance.

³⁶ The merchants of people have hissed at thee: thou art brought to nothing, and thou shalt never be any more.
