Book 06 : NEVIIM - JOSHUA - Chapter 013
13:001
a NAME="1">1 Now Joshua was old and well stricken in years;
and HaShem said unto him: 'Thou art old and well stricken in years, and there
remaineth yet very much land to be possessed
13:002
This is the land that yet remaineth: all the regions of the
Philistines, and all the Geshurites
13:003
from the Shihor, which is before Egypt, even unto the
border of Ekron northward--which is counted to the Canaanites; the five lords of
the Philistines: the Gazite, and the Ashdodite, the Ashkelonite, the Gittite,
and the Ekronite; also the Avvi
13:004
on the south; all the land of the Canaanites, and Mearah
that belongeth to the Zidonians, unto Aphek, to the border of the Amorites
13:005
and the land of the Gebalites, and all Lebanon, toward the
sunrising, from Baal-gad under mount Hermon unto the entrance of Hamath
13:006
all the inhabitants of the hill-country from Lebanon unto
Misrephoth-maim, even all the Zidonians; them will I drive out from before the
children of Israel; only allot thou it unto Israel for an inheritance, as I have
commanded thee
13:007
Now therefore divide this land for an inheritance unto the
nine tribes, and the half-tribe of Manasseh.
13:008
With him the Reubenites and the Gadites received their
inheritance, which Moses gave them, beyond the Jordan eastward, even as Moses
the servant of HaShem gave them
13:009
from Aroer, that is on the edge of the valley of Arnon, and
the city that is in the middle of the valley, and all the table-land from Medeba
unto Dibon
13:010
and all the cities of Sihon king of the Amorites, who
reigned in Heshbon, unto the border of the children of Ammon
13:011
and Gilead, and the border of the Geshurites and
Maacathites, and all mount Hermon, and all Bashan unto Salcah
13:012
all the kingdom of Og in Bashan, who reigned in Ashtaroth
and in Edrei--the same was left of the remnant of the Rephaim for these did
Moses smite, and drove them out
13:013
Nevertheless the children of Israel drove not out the
Geshurites, nor the Maacathites; but Geshur and Maacath dwelt in the midst of
Israel unto this day
13:014
Only unto the tribe of Levi he gave no inheritance; the
offerings of HaShem, the G-d of Israel, made by fire are his inheritance, as He
spoke unto him
13:015
And Moses gave unto the tribe of the children of Reuben
according to their families
13:016
And their border was from Aroer, that is on the edge of
the valley of Arnon, and the city that is in the middle of the valley, and all
the table-land by Medeba
13:017
Heshbon, and all her cities that are in the table-land;
Dibon, and Bamoth-baal, and Beth-baal-meon
13:018
and Jahaz, and Kedemoth, and Mephaath
13:019
and Kiriathaim, and Sibmah, and Zerethshahar in the mount
of the valley
13:020
and Beth-peor, and the slopes of Pisgah, and Beth-jeshimoth
13:021
and all the cities of the table-land, and all the kingdom
of Sihon king of the Amorites, who reigned in Heshbon, whom Moses smote with the
chiefs of Midian, Evi, and Rekem, and Zur, and Hur, and Reba, the princes of
Sihon, that dwelt in the land
13:022
Balaam also the son of Beor, the soothsayer, did the
children of Israel slay with the sword among the rest of their slain
13:023
And as for the border of the children of Reuben, the
Jordan was their border. This was the inheritance of the children of Reuben
according to their families, the cities and the villages thereof
13:024
And Moses gave unto the tribe of Gad, unto the children of
Gad, according to their families
13:025
And their border was Jazer, and all the cities of Gilead,
and half the land of the children of Ammon, unto Aroer that is before Rabbah
13:026
and from Heshbon unto Ramath-mizpeh, and Betonim; and from
Mahanaim unto the border of Lidbir
13:027
and in the valley, Beth-haram, and Beth-nimrah, and
Succoth, and Zaphon, the rest of the kingdom of Sihon king of Heshbon, the
Jordan being the border thereof, unto the uttermost part of the sea of
Chinnereth beyond the Jordan eastward
13:028
This is the inheritance of the children of Gad according
to their families, the cities and the villages thereof
13:029
And Moses gave inheritance unto the half-tribe of
Manasseh; and it was for the half-tribe of the children of Manasseh according to
their families
13:030
And their border was from Mahanaim, all Bashan, all the
kingdom of Og king of Bashan, and all the villages of Jair, which are in Bashan,
threescore cities
13:031
and half Gilead, and Ashtaroth, and Edrei, the cities of
the kingdom of Og in Bashan, were for the children of Machir the son of
Manasseh, even for the half of the children of Machir according to their
families
13:032
These are the inheritances which Moses distributed in the
plains of Moab, beyond the Jordan at Jericho, eastward
13:033
But unto the tribe of Levi Moses gave no inheritance;
HaShem, the G-d of Israel, is their inheritance, as He spoke unto them
