The Receiving of the Land

13When Joshua had reached a venerable age, GOD said to him, "You've had a good, long life, but there is a lot of land still to be taken.H3091H2204H935H3117H3068H559H2204H935H3117H7604H3966H7235H776H3423 2This is the land that remains: all the districts of the Philistines and Geshurites;H776H7604H1552H6430H1651 3the land from the Shihor River east of Egypt to the border of Ekron up north, Canaanite country (there were five Philistine tyrants—in Gaza, in Ashdod, in Ashkelon, in Gath, in Ekron); also the AvvimH7883H6440H4714H1366H6138H6828H2803H3669H2568H5633H6430H5841H796H832H1663H6139H5761 4from the south; all the Canaanite land from Arah (belonging to the Sidonians) to Aphek at the Amorite border;H8486H776H3669H4632H6722H663H1366H567 5the country of the Gebalites; all Lebanon eastward from Baal Gad in the shadow of Mount Hermon to the Entrance of Hamath;H776H1382H3844H4217H8121H1171H2022H2768H935H2574 6all who live in the mountains, from Lebanon to Misrephoth Maim; all the Sidonians. "I myself will drive them out before the People of Israel. All you have to do is allot this land to Israel as an inheritance, as I have instructed you.H3427H2022H3844H4956H6722H3423H6440H1121H3478H5307H3478H5159H6680 7Do it now: Allot this land as an inheritance to the nine tribes and the half-tribe of Manasseh."H2505H776H5159H8672H7626H2677H7626H4519

Land East of the Jordan

8The other half-tribe of Manasseh, with the Reubenites and Gadites, had been given their inheritance by Moses on the other side of the Jordan eastward. Moses the servant of GOD gave it to them.H7206H1425H3947H5159H4872H5414H5676H3383H4217H4872H5650H3068H5414 9This land extended from Aroer at the edge of the Arnon Gorge and the city in the middle of the valley, taking in the entire tableland of Medeba as far as Dibon,H6177H8193H5158H769H5892H8432H5158H4334H4311H1769 10and all the towns of Sihon king of the Amorites, who ruled from Heshbon, and out to the border of the Ammonites.H5892H5511H4428H567H4427H2809H1366H1121H5983 11It also included Gilead, the country of the people of Geshur and Maacah, all of Mount Hermon, and all Bashan as far as Salecah—H1568H1366H1651H4602H2022H2768H1316H5548 12the whole kingdom of Og in Bashan, who reigned in Ashtaroth and Edrei. He was one of the last survivors of the Rephaim. Moses had defeated them and taken their land.H4468H5747H1316H4427H6252H154H7604H3499H7497H4872H5221H3423 13The People of Israel never did drive out the Geshurites and the Maacathites—they're still there, living in Israel.H1121H3478H3423H1651H4602H1650H4601H3427H7130H3478H3117 14Levi was the only tribe that did not receive an inheritance. The Fire-Gift offerings to GOD, the God of Israel, are their inheritance, just as he told them.H7626H3878H5414H5159H801H3068H430H3478H801H5159H1696
