that goeth up to Seir Se #

which Joshua gave unto the tribes of Israel for a possession according to their divisions ;

Now Joshua was old and stricken in years ;
and the LORD said unto him ,
Thou art old and stricken in years ,
and there remaineth yet very much land to be possessed .
*
This is the land that yet remaineth :
all the borders of the Philistines ,
and all Geshuri ,

From Sihor ,
which is before Egypt ,

only divide thou it by lot unto the Israelites for an inheritance ,
as I have commanded thee .

Now therefore divide this land for an inheritance unto the nine tribes ,
and the half tribe of Manasseh ,

With whom the Reubenites and the Gadites have received their inheritance ,
which Moses gave them ,
beyond Jordan eastward ,
even as Moses the servant of the LORD gave them ;

which reigned in Ashtaroth and in Edrei #

who remained of the remnant of the giants :
for these did Moses smite ,
and cast them out .
*
Nevertheless the children of Israel expelled not the Geshurites ,
nor the Maachathites Ma #
akathiy #:
but the Geshurites and the Maachathites dwell among the Israelites until this day .
*
Only unto the tribe of Levi he gave none inheritance ;
the sacrificesof the LORD God of Israel made by fire are their inheritance ,
as he said unto them .
*
And Moses gave unto the tribe of the children of Reuben inheritance according to their families .
*
And their coast was from Aroer #
Arow #

that is on the bank of the river Arnon ,
and the city that is in the midst of the river ,

Heshbon ,

And all the cities of the plain ,

which reigned in Heshbon ,
whom Moses smote with the princes of Midian ,
Evi ,
and Rekem ,
and Zur ,
and Hur ,
and Reba ,
which were dukes of Sihon ,
dwelling in the country .
*
Balaam also the son of Beor B @#
owr #,
the soothsayer ,
did the children of Israel slay with the sword among them that were slain by them .
*
And the border of the children of Reuben was Jordan ,
and the border thereof .
This was the inheritance of the children of Reuben after their families ,
the cities and the villages thereof .
*
And Moses gave inheritance unto the tribe of Gad ,
even unto the children of Gad according to their families .
*
And their coast was Jazer Ya #
azeyr #,
and all the cities of Gilead Gil #

and half the land of the children of Ammon ,
unto Aroer #
Arow #

that is before Rabbah ;

And from Heshbon unto Ramathmizpeh Ramath ham-Mits-peh #,
and Betonim ;
and from Mahanaim unto the border of Debir ;
*
And in the valley ,
Betharam Beyth ha-Ram #,
and Bethnimrah Beyth ,
and Succoth ,
and Zaphon ,
the rest of the kingdom of Sihon king of Heshbon ,
Jordan and his border ,
even unto the edge of the sea of Chinnereth on the other side Jordan eastward .
*
This is the inheritance of the children of Gad after their families ,
the cities ,
and their villages .
*
And Moses gave inheritance unto the half tribe of Manasseh :
and this was the possession of the half tribe of the children of Manasseh by their families .
*
And their coast was from Mahanaim ,
all Bashan ,
all the kingdom of Og king of Bashan ,
and all the towns of Jair Ya #
iyr #,
which are in Bashan ,
threescore cities :
*
And half Gilead Gil #
ad #,
and Ashtaroth ,
and Edrei #
edre #
iy #,
cities of the kingdom of Og in Bashan ,
were pertaining unto the children of Machir the son of Manasseh ,
even to the one half of the children of Machir by their families .
*
These are the countries which Moses did distribute for inheritance in the plains of Moab Mow #
ab #,
on the other side Jordan ,
by Jericho ,
eastward .
*
But unto the tribe of Levi Moses gave not any inheritance :
the LORD God of Israel was their inheritance ,
as he said unto them .
*
And these are the countries which the children of Israel inherited in the land of Canaan K @
na #
an #,
which Eleazar #
El #
azar #
the priest ,
and Joshua the son of Nun ,
and the heads of the fathers of the tribes of the children of Israel Yisra #
el #,
distributed for inheritance to them .
*
By lot was their inheritance ,
as the LORD commanded by the hand of Moses ,
for the nine tribes ,
and for the half tribe .
*
For Moses had given the inheritance of two tribes and an half tribe on the other side Jordan :
but unto the Levites he gave none inheritance among them .
*
For the children of Joseph were two tribes ,
Manasseh and Ephraim :
therefore they gave no part unto the Levites in the land ,
save cities to dwell in ,
with their suburbs for their cattle and for their substance .
*
As the LORD commanded Moses ,
so the children of Israel did ,
and they divided the land .
*
Then the children of Judah came unto Joshua in Gilgal :
and Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenezite said unto him ,
Thou knowest the thing that the LORD said unto Moses the man of God concerning me and thee in Kadeshbarnea Qadesh .
*
Forty #
arba #
iym #
years old was I when Moses the servant of the LORD sent me from Kadeshbarnea Qadeshto espy out the land ;
and I brought #
him word again as it was in mine heart .
*
Nevertheless my brethren that went up with me made the heart of the people melt :
but I wholly followed the LORD my God .
*
And Moses sware on that day ,
saying ,
Surely the land whereon thy feet have trodden shall be thine inheritance ,
and thy childrens for ever ,
because thou hast wholly followed the LORD my God .
*
And now ,
behold ,
the LORD hath kept me alive ,
as he said ,
these forty #
arba #
iym #
and five years ,
even since the LORD spake this word unto Moses ,
while the children of Israel wandered in the wilderness :
and now ,
lo ,
I am this day fourscore and five years old .
*
As yet I am as strong this day as I was in the day that Moses sent me :
as my strength was then ,
even so is my strength now ,
for war ,
both to go out ,
and to come in .
*
Now therefore give me this mountain ,
whereof the LORD spake in that day ;
for thou heardest in that day how the Anakims were there ,
and that the cities were great and fenced :
if so be the LORD will be with me ,
then I shall be able to drive them out ,
as the LORD said .
*
And Joshua blessed him ,
and gave unto Caleb the son of Jephunneh Hebron for an inheritance .
*
Hebron therefore became the inheritance of Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenezite unto this day ,
because that he wholly followed the LORD God of Israel Yisra #
el #.
*
And the name of Hebron before was Kirjatharba Qiryath ;
which Arba was a great man among the Anakims .
And the land had rest from war .
*
This then was the lot of the tribe of the children of Judah by their families ;
even to the border of Edom the wilderness of Zin southward was the uttermost part of the south coast .
*
And their south border was from the shore of the salt sea ,
from the bay that looketh southward :
*
And it went out to the south side to Maalehacrabbim Ma #
aleh ,
and passed along to Zin ,
and ascended up on the south side unto Kadeshbarnea Qadesh ,
and passed along to Hezron ,
and went up to Adar ,
and fetched a compass to Karkaa :
*
From thence it passed toward Azmon ,
and went out unto the river of Egypt ;
and the goings out of that coast were at the sea :
this shall be your south coast .
*
And the east border was the salt sea ,
even unto the end of Jordan .
And their border in the north quarter was from the bay of the sea at the uttermost part of Jordan :
*
And the border went up to Bethhogla Beyth ,
and passed along by the north of Betharabah Beyth ha -#
Arabah #;
and the border went up to the stone of Bohan the son of Reuben R @#
uwben #:
*
And the border went up toward Debir from the valley of Achor ,
and so northward ,
looking toward Gilgal ,
that is before the going up to Adummim ,
which is on the south side of the river :
and the border passed toward the waters of Enshemesh #
Eyn ,
and the goings out thereof were at Enrogel #
Eyn :
*
And the border went up by the valley of the son of Hinnom unto the south side of the Jebusite ;
the same is Jerusalem :
and the border went up to the top of the mountain that lieth before the valley of Hinnom westward ,
which is at the end of the valley of the giants northward :
*
And the border was drawn from the top of the hill unto the fountain of the water of Nephtoah ,
and went out to the cities of mount Ephron ;
and the border was drawn to Baalah Ba #
alah #,
which is Kirjathjearim Qiryath Y @#
ariym #:
*
And the border compassed from Baalah westward unto mount Seir Se #
iyr #,
and passed along unto the side of mount Jearim Y @#
ariym #,
which is Chesalon ,
on the north side ,
and went down to Bethshemesh Beyth ,
and passed on to Timnah :
*
And the border went out unto the side of Ekron northward :
and the border was drawn to Shicron ,
and passed along to mount Baalah Ba #
alah #,
and went out unto Jabneel Yabn @#
el #;
and the goings out of the border were at the sea .
*
And the west border was to the great sea ,
and the coast thereof .
This is the coast of the children of Judah round about according to their families .
*
And unto Caleb the son of Jephunneh he gave a part among the children of Judah ,
according to the commandment of the LORD to Joshua ,
even the city of Arba #
A Qiryaththe father of Anak ,
which city is Hebron .
*
And Caleb drove thence the three sons of Anak ,
Sheshai ,
and Ahiman ,
and Talmai ,
the children of Anak .
*
And he went up thence to the inhabitants of Debir :
and the name of Debir before was Kirjathsepher Qiryath .
*
And Caleb said ,
He that smiteth Kirjathsepher Qiryath ,
and taketh it ,
to him will I give Achsah my daughter to wife .
*
And Othniel #
Othniy #
el #
the son of Kenaz ,
the brother of Caleb ,
took it :
and he gave him Achsah his daughter to wife .
*
And it came to pass ,
as she came unto him ,
that she moved him to ask of her father a field :
and she lighted off her ass ;
and Caleb said unto her ,
What wouldest thou ?
*
Who answered ,
Give me a blessing ;
for thou hast given me a south land ;
give me also springs of water .
And he gave her the upper springs ,
and the nether springs .
*
This is the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Judah according to their families .
