Joshua 13:1-14

Joshua 13:1-14

[1] 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.  [2] This is the land  that yet remaineth:  all the borders  of the Philistines,  and all Geshuri,  [3] From Sihor,  which is before  Egypt,  even unto the borders  of Ekron  northward,  which is counted  to the Canaanite:  five  lords  of the Philistines;  the Gazathites,  and the Ashdothites,  the Eshkalonites,  the Gittites,  and the Ekronites;  [4] From the south,  all the land  of the Canaanites,  and Mearah  that is beside the Sidonians,  unto Aphek,  to the borders  of the Amorites:  [5] And the land  of the Giblites,  and all Lebanon,  toward the sunrising,  from Baalgad  under mount  Hermon  unto the entering  into Hamath.  [6] All the inhabitants  of the hill country  from Lebanon  unto Misrephothmaim,  and all the Sidonians,  them will I drive out  from before  the children  of Israel:  only divide thou it by lot  unto the Israelites  for an inheritance,  as I have commanded  thee. [7] Now therefore divide  this land  for an inheritance  unto the nine  tribes,  and the half  tribe  of Manasseh,  [8] 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; [9] From Aroer,  that is upon the bank  of the river  Arnon,  and the city  that is in the midst  of the river,  and all the plain  of Medeba  unto Dibon;  [10] And all the cities  of Sihon  king  of the Amorites,  which reigned  in Heshbon,  unto the border  of the children  of Ammon;  [11] And Gilead,  and the border  of the Geshurites  and Maachathites,  and all mount  Hermon,  and all Bashan  unto Salcah;  [12] All the kingdom  of Og  in Bashan,  which reigned  in Ashtaroth  and in Edrei,  who remained  of the remnant  of the giants:  for these did Moses  smite,  and cast them out.  [13] Nevertheless the children  of Israel  expelled  not the Geshurites,  nor the Maachathites:  but the Geshurites  and the Maachathites  dwell  among  the Israelites  until this day.  [14] Only unto the tribe  of Levi  he gave  none inheritance;  of the LORD  God  of Israel  made by fire  are their inheritance,  as he said  unto them.
