Jos 13:1 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.
Jos 13:2 This is the land that yet remaineth: all the borders of the
Philistines, and all Geshuri,
Jos 13:3 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; also the Avites:
Jos 13:4 From the south, all the land of the Canaanites, and Mearah that
is beside the Sidonians unto Aphek, to the borders of the Amorites:
Jos 13:5 And the land of the Giblites, and all Lebanon, toward the
sunrising, from Baalgad under mount Hermon unto the entering into Hamath.
Jos 13:6 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.
Jos 13:7 Now therefore divide this land for an inheritance unto the nine
tribes, and the half tribe of Manasseh,
Jos 13:8 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;
Jos 13:9 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;
Jos 13:10 And all the cities of Sihon king of the Amorites, which reigned
in Heshbon, unto the border of the children of Ammon;
Jos 13:11 And Gilead, and the border of the Geshurites and Maachathites,
and all mount Hermon, and all Bashan unto Salcah;
Jos 13:12 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.
Jos 13:13 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.
Jos 13:14 Only unto the tribe of Levi he gave none inheritance; the
sacrifices of the Lord God of Israel made by fire are their inheritance,
as he said unto them.
Jos 13:15 And Moses gave unto the tribe of the children of Reuben
inheritance according to their families.
Jos 13:16 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;
Jos 13:17 Heshbon, and all her cities that are in the plain; Dibon, and
Bamothbaal, and Bethbaalmeon,
Jos 13:18 And Jahaza, and Kedemoth, and Mephaath,
Jos 13:19 And Kirjathaim, and Sibmah, and Zarethshahar in the mount of the
valley,
Jos 13:20 And Bethpeor, and Ashdothpisgah, and Bethjeshimoth,
Jos 13:21 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.
Jos 13:22 Balaam also the son of Beor, the soothsayer, did the children of
Israel slay with the sword among them that were slain by them.
Jos 13:23 And the border of the children of Reuben was Jordan, and the
border thereof. This was the inheritance of the children of Reuben after
their families, the cities and the villages thereof.
Jos 13:24 And Moses gave inheritance unto the tribe of Gad, even unto the
children of Gad according to their families.
Jos 13:25 And their coast was Jazer, and all the cities of Gilead, and
half the land of the children of Ammon, unto Aroer that is before Rabbah;
Jos 13:26 And from Heshbon unto Ramathmizpeh, and Betonim; and from
Mahanaim unto the border of Debir;
Jos 13:27 And in the valley, Betharam, and Bethnimrah, and Succoth, and
Zaphon, the rest of the kingdom of Sihon king of Heshbon, Jordan and his
border, even unto the edge of the sea of Chinnereth on the other side
Jordan eastward.
Jos 13:28 This is the inheritance of the children of Gad after their
families, the cities, and their villages.
Jos 13:29 And Moses gave inheritance unto the half tribe of Manasseh: and
this was the possession of the half tribe of the children of Manasseh by
their families.
Jos 13:30 And their coast was from Mahanaim, all Bashan, all the kingdom
of Og king of Bashan, and all the towns of Jair, which are in Bashan,
threescore cities:
Jos 13:31 And half Gilead, and Ashtaroth, and Edrei, cities of the kingdom
of Og in Bashan, were pertaining unto the children of Machir the son of
Manasseh, even to the one half of the children of Machir by their
families.
Jos 13:32 These are the countries which Moses did distribute for
inheritance in the plains of Moab, on the other side Jordan, by Jericho,
eastward.
Jos 13:33 But unto the tribe of Levi Moses gave not any inheritance: the
Lord God of Israel was their inheritance, as he said unto them. |
