13:1 And Joshua [was] old and very advanced
in years; and Yehovah said to Joshua, Thou art advanced in years, and there
is much land left to inherit.
13:2 And this [is] the land that is left: the borders of the Phylistines,
the Gesirite, and the Canaanite,
13:3 from the wilderness before Egypt, as far as the borders of Accaron on
the left of the Canaanites [the land] is reckoned to the five principalities
of the Phylistines, to the inhabitant of Gaza, and of Azotus, and of Ascalon,
and of Geth, and of Accaron, and to the Evite;
13:4 from Thaeman even to all the land of Chanaan before Gaza, and the
Sidonians as far as Aphec, as far as the borders of the Amorites.
13:5 And all the land of Galiath of the Phylistines, and all Libanus
eastward from Galgal, under the mountain Aermon as far as the entering in of
Emath;
13:6 every one that inhabits the hill country from Libanus as far as
Masereth Memphomaim. All the Sidonians, I will destroy them from before
Israel; but do thou give them by inheritance to Israel, as I charged thee.
13:7 And now divide this land by lot to the nine tribes, and to the half
tribe of Manasse.
13:8 From Jordan to the great sea westward thou shalt give it [them]: the
great sea shall be the boundary. [But] to the two tribes and to the half
tribe of Manasse, to Ruben and to Gad Moses gave [an inheritance] beyond
Jordan: Moses the servant of Yehovah gave [it] to them eastward,
13:9 from Aroer, which is on the bank of the brook of Arnon, and the city in
the midst of the valley, and all Misor from Maedaban.
13:10 All the cities of Seon king of the Amorites, who reigned from Esebon
to the coasts of the children of Ammon;
13:11 and the region of Galaad, and the borders of the Gesirites and the
Machatites, the whole mount of Aermon, and all the land of Basan to Acha.
13:12 All the kingdom of Og in the region of Basan, who reigned in Astaroth
and in Edrain: he was left of the giants; and Moses smote him, and destroyed
him.
13:13 But the children of Israel destroyed not the Gesirite and the
Machatite and the Canaanite; and the king of the Gesiri and the Machatite
dwelt among the children of Israel until this day.
13:14 Only no inheritance was given to the tribe of Levi: Yehovah Elohim of
Israel, he [is] their inheritance, as Yehovah said to them; and this [is]
the division which Moses made to the children of Israel in Araboth Moab, on
the other side of Jordan, by Jericho.
13:15 And Moses gave the land to the tribe of Ruben according to their
families.
13:16 And their borders were from Aroer, which is opposite the brook of
Arnon, and [theirs is] the city that is in the valley of Arnon; and all
Misor,
13:17 to Esebon, and all the cities in Misor, and Daebon, and Baemon-Baal,
and the house of Meelboth;
13:18 and Basan, and Bakedmoth, and Maephaad,
13:19 and Kariathaim, and Sebama, and Serada, and Zion in mount Enab;
13:20 and Baethphogor, and Asedoth Phasga, and Baetthasinoth,
13:21 and all the cities of Misor, and all the kingdom of Seon king of the
Amorites, whom Moses smote, even him and the princes of Madian, and Evi, and
Roboc, and Sur, and Ur, and Robe prince of the spoils of Zion, and the
inhabitants of Zion.
13:22 And Balaam the son of Baeor the prophet they slew in the battle.
13:23 And the borders of Ruben were-- [even] Jordan [was the] boundary; this
[is] the inheritance of the children of Ruben according to their families,
[these were] their cities and their villages.
13:24 And Moses gave inheritance to the sons of Gad according to their
families.
13:25 And their borders were Jazer, all the cities of Galaad, and half the
land of the children of Ammon to Araba, which is before Arad.
13:26 And from Esebon to Araboth by Massepha, and Botanim, and Maan to the
borders of Daebon,
13:27 and Enadom, and Othargai, and Baenthanabra, and Soccotha, and Saphan,
and the rest of the kingdom of Sean king of Esebon: and Jordan shall be the
boundary as far as part of the sea of Chenereth beyond Jordan eastward.
13:28 This [is] the inheritance of the children of Gad according to their
families and according to their cities: according to their families they
will turn their backs before their enemies, because their cities and their
villages were according to their families.
13:29 And Moses gave to half the tribe of Manasse according to their
families.
13:30 And their borders were from Maan, and all the kingdom of Basan, and
all the kingdom of Og king of Basan, and all the villages of Jair, which are
in the region of Basan, sixty cities:
13:31 and the half of Galaad, and in Astaroth, and in Edrain, royal cities
of Og in the land of Basan, [Moses gave] to the sons of Machir the sons of
Manasse, even to the half-tribe sons of Machir the sons of Manasse,
according to their families.
13:32 These [are] they whom Moses caused to inherit beyond Jordan in Araboth
Moab, beyond Jordan by Jericho eastward. |
13:1 Now Joshua was old and stricken in
years; and Yehovah said unto him, Thou art old and stricken in years, and
there remaineth yet very much land to be possessed.
13:2 This is the land that yet remaineth: all the borders of the
Philistines, and all Geshuri,
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:
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:
13:5 And the land of the Giblites, and all Lebanon, toward the sunrising,
from Baalgad under mount Hermon unto the entering into Hamath.
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.
13:7 Now therefore divide this land for an inheritance unto the nine tribes,
and the half tribe of Manasseh,
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 Yehovah gave them;
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;
13:10 And all the cities of Sihon king of the Amorites, which reigned in
Heshbon, unto the border of the children of Ammon;
13:11 And Gilead, and the border of the Geshurites and Maachathites, and all
mount Hermon, and all Bashan unto Salcah;
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.
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.
13:14 Only unto the tribes of Levi he gave none inheritance; the sacrifices
of Yehovah Elohim of Israel made by fire are their inheritance, as he said
unto them.
13:15 And Moses gave unto the tribe of the children of Reuben inheritance
according to their families.
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;
13:17 Heshbon, and all her cities that are in the plain; Dibon, and
Bamothbaal, and Bethbaalmeon,
13:18 And Jahaza, and Kedemoth, and Mephaath,
13:19 And Kirjathaim, and Sibmah, and Zarethshahar in the mount of the
valley,
13:20 And Bethpeor, and Ashdothpisgah, and Bethjeshimoth,
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.
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.
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.
13:24 And Moses gave inheritance unto the tribe of Gad, even unto the
children of Gad according to their families.
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;
13:26 And from Heshbon unto Ramathmizpeh, and Betonim; and from Mahanaim
unto the border of Debir;
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.
13:28 This is the inheritance of the children of Gad after their families,
the cities, and their villages.
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.
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:
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.
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.
13:33 But unto the tribe of Levi Moses gave not any inheritance: Yehovah
Elohim of Israel was their inheritance, as he said unto them. |
