Joshua 13:1-21

Joshua 13:1-21

[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. [15] And Moses  gave  unto the tribe  of the children  of Reuben  inheritance according to their families.  [16] And their coast  was from Aroer,  that is on the bank  of the river  Arnon,  and the city  that is in the midst  of the river,  and all the plain  by Medeba;  [17] Heshbon,  and all her cities  that are in the plain;  Dibon,  and Bamothbaal,  and Bethbaalmeon,  [18] And Jahazah,  and Kedemoth,  and Mephaath,  [19] And Kirjathaim,  and Sibmah,  and Zarethshahar  in the mount  of the valley,  [20] And Bethpeor,  and Bethjeshimoth,  [21] And all the cities  of the plain,  and all the kingdom  of Sihon  king  of the Amorites,  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.
