Joshua Chapter 13

Joshua Chapter 13
1 Now when Joshua was old, and
stricken in years, the Lord said unto him,
Thou art old and grown in age, and there
remaineth exceeding much land to be
possessed:
2 This is the land that remaineth, all the
regions of the Philistines, and all
Geshuri,
3 From Nilus which is in Egypt, even
unto the borders of Ekron northward:
this is counted of the Canaanites, even
five lordships of the Phillistines, the
Gazathites, and the Ashdothites, the
Eshkalonites, the Gittites, and the
Ekronites, and the Avites:
4 From the south, all the land of the
Canaanites, and the cave that is beside
the Sidonians, unto Aphek, and to the
borders of the Amorites: 5 And the land
of the Giblites, and all Lebanon, toward
the sun rising from Bahal-gad under
mount Hermon, until one come to
Hamath.
6 All the inhabitants of the mountains
from Lebanon unto
Misrephothmaim, and all the Sidonians,
I will cast them out from before the
children of Israel: only divide thou it by
lot unto the Israelites, to inherit, as I
have commanded thee.
7 Now therefore divide this land to
inherit, unto the nine tribes, and to the
half tribe of Manasseh.
8 For with half thereof the Reubenites
and the Gadites have received their
inheritance, which Moses gave them
beyond Jordan eastward, even as Moses
the servant of the Lord had given them,
9 From Aroer that is on the brink of the
river Arnon, and from 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
borders of the children of Ammon,
11 And Gilead, and the borders of the
Geshurites and of the Maachathites, and
all mount Hermon, with all Bashan unto
Salcah:
12 All the kingdom of Og in Bashan,
which reigned in Ashtaroth and in Edrei:
(who remained of the rest of the giants)
for these did Moses smite, and cast them
out.
13 But the children of Israel expelled not
the Geshurites nor the Maachathites: but
the Geshurites and the Maachathites
dwell among the Israelites even unto this
day.
14 Only unto the tribe of Levi he gave
none inheritance, but the sacrifices of
the Lord God of Israel are his
inheritance, as he said unto him. 15
Moses then 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 brink of the river Arnon, and
from the city that is in the midst of the
river, and all the plain which is by
Medeba:
17 Heshbon with all the cities thereof,
that are in the plain: Dibon and
Bamothbaal, and Bethbaal-meon: 18
And Jahazah, and Kedemoth and
Mephaath:
19 Kirjathaim also, and Sibmah, and
Zerethshahar in the mount of Emek: 20
And Beth-peor, and Ashdoth-pisgah, and
Beth-jeshimoth:
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, the dukes of Sihon,
dwelling in the country.
22 And Balaam the son of Beor the
soothsayer did the children of Israel slay
with the sword, among them that were
slain.
23 And the border of the children of
Reuben was Jordan with the coasts. This
was the inheritance of the children of
Reuben according to their families, with
the cities and their villages.
24 Also Moses gave inheritance unto
the tribe of Gad, even unto the children
of Gad according to their families.
25 And their coasts were Jazer, and all
the cities of Gilead and half the land of
the children of Ammon unto Aroer,
which is before Rabbah:
26 And from Heshbon unto Ramath,
Mizpeh, and Betonim: and from
Mahanaim unto the borders of Debir:
27 And in the valley Beth-aram, and
Bethnimrah, and Succoth, and Zaphon,
the rest of the kingdom of Sihon king of
Heshbon, unto Jordan and the borders
even unto the Sea coast of Cinnereth,
beyond Jordan eastward. 28 This is the
inheritance of the children of Gad, after
their families, with the cities, and their
villages.
29 Also Moses gave inheritance unto
the half tribe of Manasseh: and this
belonged to the half tribe of the children
of Manasseh according to their families.
30 And their border was from
Mahanaim, even all Bashan, to wit, all
the kingdom of Og king of Bashan, and
all the towns of Jair which are in
Bashan, threescore cities,
31 And half Gilead, and Ashtaroth, and
Edrei, cities of the kingdom of Og in
Bashan, were given unto the children of
Machir the son of Manasseh, to half of
the children of Machir after their
families.
32 These are the heritages, which Moses
did distribute in the plain of Moab
beyond Jordan, toward Jericho
eastward.
33 But unto the tribe of Levi Moses gave
none inheritance: for the Lord God of
Israel is their inheritance, as he said unto
them.
