Joshua:13:1-21
rsv@Joshua:13:1 @ 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.
rsv@Joshua:13:2 @ This is the land that yet remains: all the regions of the Philistines, and all those of the Gesh'urites
rsv@Joshua:13:3 @ (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,
rsv@Joshua:13:4 @ 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,
rsv@Joshua:13:5 @ 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,
rsv@Joshua:13:6 @ 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.
rsv@Joshua:13:7 @ Now therefore divide this land for an inheritance to the nine tribes and half the tribe of Manas'seh."
rsv@Joshua:13:8 @ 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:
rsv@Joshua:13:9 @ 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;
rsv@Joshua:13:10 @ and all the cities of Sihon king of the Amorites, who reigned in Heshbon, as far as the boundary of the Ammonites;
rsv@Joshua:13:11 @ and Gilead, and the region of the Gesh'urites and Ma-ac'athites, and all Mount Hermon, and all Bashan to Sal'ecah;
rsv@Joshua:13:12 @ 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.
rsv@Joshua:13:13 @ 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.
rsv@Joshua:13:14 @ 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.
rsv@Joshua:13:15 @ And Moses gave an inheritance to the tribe of the Reubenites according to their families.
rsv@Joshua:13:16 @ 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;
rsv@Joshua:13:17 @ with Heshbon, and all its cities that are in the tableland; Dibon, and Ba'moth-ba'al, and Beth-ba'al-me'on,
rsv@Joshua:13:18 @ and Jahaz, and Ked'emoth, and Meph'aath,
rsv@Joshua:13:19 @ and Kir'iatha'im, and Sibmah, and Zer'eth-sha'har on the hill of the valley,
rsv@Joshua:13:20 @ and Beth-pe'or, and the slopes of Pisgah, and Beth-jesh'imoth,
rsv@Joshua:13:21 @ 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.
