Joshua:13:1-21
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Now Joshua was old and advanced in years ;
and the LORD said to him , "
You are old and advanced in years ,
and there remains yet very much land to be possessed .
*
This is the land that yet remains :
all the regions of the Philistines ,
and all those of the Gesh '
urites
* (
from the Shihor ,
which is east of Egypt ,
northward to the boundary of Ekron ,
it is reckoned as Canaanite ;
there are five rulers of the Philistines ,
those of Gaza ,
Ashdod ,
Ash '
kelon ,
Gath ,
and Ekron ),
and those of the Avvim ,
*
in the south ,
all the land of the Canaanites ,
and Mear '
ah which belongs to the Sido '
nians ,
to Aphek ,
to the boundary of the Amorites ,
*
and the land of the Geb '
alites ,
and all Lebanon ,
toward the sunrising ,
from Ba '
al-gad below Mount Hermon to the entrance of Hamath ,
*
all the inhabitants of the hill country from Lebanon to Mis '
rephoth-ma '
im ,
even all the Sido '
nians .
I will myself drive them out from before the people of Israel ;
only allot the land to Israel for an inheritance ,
as I have commanded you .
*
Now therefore divide this land for an inheritance to the nine tribes and half the tribe of Manas '
seh ."
*
With the other half of the tribe of Manas '
seh the Reubenites and the Gadites received their inheritance ,
which Moses gave them ,
beyond the Jordan eastward ,
as Moses the servant of the LORD gave them :
*
from Aro '
er ,
which is on the edge of the valley of the Arnon ,
and the city that is in the middle of the valley ,
and all the tableland of Med '
eba as far as Dibon ;
*
and all the cities of Sihon king of the Amorites ,
who reigned in Heshbon ,
as far as the boundary of the Ammonites ;
*
and Gilead ,
and the region of the Gesh '
urites and Ma-ac '
athites ,
and all Mount Hermon ,
and all Bashan to Sal '
ecah ;
*
all the kingdom of Og in Bashan ,
who reigned in Ash '
taroth and in Ed '
re-i (
he alone was left of the remnant of the Reph '
aim );
these Moses had defeated and driven out .
*
Yet the people of Israel did not drive out the Gesh '
urites or the Ma-ac '
athites ;
but Geshur and Ma '
acath dwell in the midst of Israel to this day .
*
To the tribe of Levi alone Moses gave no inheritance ;
the offerings by fire to the LORD God of Israel are their inheritance ,
as he said to him .
*
And Moses gave an inheritance to the tribe of the Reubenites according to their families .
*
So their territory was from Aro '
er ,
which is on the edge of the valley of the Arnon ,
and the city that is in the middle of the valley ,
and all the tableland by Med '
eba ;
*
with Heshbon ,
and all its cities that are in the tableland ;
Dibon ,
and Ba '
moth-ba '
al ,
and Beth-ba '
al-me '
on ,
*
and Jahaz ,
and Ked '
emoth ,
and Meph '
aath ,
*
and Kir '
iatha '
im ,
and Sibmah ,
and Zer '
eth-sha '
har on the hill of the valley ,
*
and Beth-pe '
or ,
and the slopes of Pisgah ,
and Beth-jesh '
imoth ,
*
that is ,
all the cities of the tableland ,
and all the kingdom of Sihon king of the Amorites ,
who reigned in Heshbon ,
whom Moses defeated with the leaders of Mid '
ian ,
Evi and Rekem and Zur and Hur and Reba ,
the princes of Sihon ,
who dwelt in the land .
