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.
02 This is the land that yet remaineth: all the
borders of the Philistines, and all Geshuri,
03 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:
04 From the south, all the land of the
Canaanites, and Mearah that is beside the
Sidonians unto Aphek, to the borders of the
Amorites:
05 And the land of the Giblites, and all Lebanon,
toward the sunrising, from Baalgad under mount
Hermon unto the entering into Hamath.
06 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.
07 Now therefore divide this land for an
inheritance unto the nine tribes, and the half
tribe of Manasseh,
08 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;
09 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;
10 And all the cities of Sihon king of the
Amorites, which reigned in Heshbon, unto the
border of the children of Ammon;
11 And Gilead, and the border of the Geshurites
and Maachathites, and all mount Hermon, and all
Bashan unto Salcah;
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 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.
14 Only unto the tribes 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.
15 And Moses 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
bank of the river Arnon, and the city that is in
the midst of the river, and all the plain by
Medeba;

17 Heshbon, and all her cities that are in the
plain; Dibon, and Bamothbaal, and Bethbaalmeon,
18 And Jahaza, and Kedemoth, and Mephaath,
19 And Kirjathaim, and Sibmah, and Zarethshahar
in the mount of the valley,
20 And Bethpeor, and Ashdothpisgah, and
Bethjeshimoth,
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.
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.
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.
24 And Moses gave inheritance unto the tribe of
Gad, even unto the children of Gad according to
their families.
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;
26 And from Heshbon unto Ramathmizpeh, and
Betonim; and from Mahanaim unto the border of
Debir;
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.
28 This is the inheritance of the children of Gad
after their families, the cities, and their
villages.
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.
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:
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.
32 These are the countries which Moses did
distribute for inheritance in the plains of Moab,
on the other side Jordan, by Jericho, eastward.
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.
