3as well as all the territory of the Avvim to the south.

4There is still all the Canaanite country, and Mearah (which belonged to the Sidonians), as far as Aphek, at the Amorite border;H8486H776H3669H4632H6722H663H1366H567

6This includes all the territory of the Sidonians, who live in the hill country between the Lebanon Mountains and Misrephoth Maim. I will drive all these peoples out as the people of Israel advance. You must divide the land among the Israelites, just as I have commanded you to do.H3427H2022H3844H4956H6722H3423H6440H1121H3478H5307H3478H5159H6680
7Now then, divide this land among the other nine tribes and half of the tribe of Manasseh, for them to possess as their own."H2505H776H5159H8672H7626H2677H7626H4519
