1Now Joshua was old and well along in years, and the Lord said to him, “You are old and well along in years, but very much of the land remains to be possessed.[ † ]Joshua 14:10Joshua 23:1-2 2This is the land that remains: All the territory of the Philistines and the Geshurites,[ † ]Judges 3:1-3Joel 3:4Joshua 13:132 Samuel 3:3 3from the Shihor east of Egypt to the territory of Ekron on the north (considered to be Canaanite territory)—that of the five Philistine rulers of Gaza, Ashdod, Ashkelon, Gath, and Ekron, as well as that of the Avvites;[ † ]1 Chronicles 13:5Jeremiah 2:18Judges 3:3Deuteronomy 2:23 4to the south, all the land of the Canaanites, from Mearah of the Sidonians to Aphek, as far as the border of the Amorites;[ † ]Joshua 12:18Joshua 19:301 Samuel 4:11 Kings 20:26-30Judges 1:34 5the land of the Gebalites; and all Lebanon to the east, from Baal-gad below Mount Hermon to Lebo-hamath.[ † ]1 Kings 5:18Ezekiel 27:9Joshua 12:7
6All the inhabitants of the hill country from Lebanon to Misrephoth-maim—all the Sidonians—I Myself will drive out before the Israelites. Be sure to divide it by lot as an inheritance to Israel, as I have commanded you.[ † ]Joshua 11:8Joshua 23:13Judges 2:21-23Joshua 14:1-2 7Now therefore divide this land as an inheritance to the nine tribes and the half-tribe of Manasseh.”
8The other half of Manasseh, along with the Reubenites and Gadites, had received the inheritance Moses had given them beyond the Jordan to the east, just as Moses the servant of the Lord had assigned to them:[ † ]Numbers 32:33Deuteronomy 3:12-13Joshua 22:4Joshua 12:1-6 9The area from Aroer on the rim of the Arnon Valley, along with the city in the middle of the valley, the whole plateau of Medeba as far as Dibon,[ † ]Numbers 21:30Joshua 13:16 10and all the cities of Sihon king of the Amorites who reigned in Heshbon, as far as the border of the Ammonites;[ † ]Numbers 21:24-25 11also Gilead and the territory of the Geshurites and Maacathites, all of Mount Hermon, and all Bashan as far as Salecah—[ † ]Numbers 32:1Joshua 12:5
12the whole kingdom of Og in Bashan, who had reigned in Ashtaroth and Edrei and had remained as a remnant of the Rephaim. Moses had struck them down and dispossessed them,[ † ]Deuteronomy 3:11Joshua 12:4Numbers 21:24-34, 35 13but the Israelites did not drive out the Geshurites or the Maacathites. So Geshur and Maacath dwell among the Israelites to this day.[ † ]Joshua 13:11
14To the tribe of Levi, however, Moses had given no inheritance. The food offerings to the Lord, the God of Israel, are their inheritance, just as He had promised them.[ † ]Numbers 18:20-23, 24Deuteronomy 18:1Joshua 14:3-4Joshua 13:33
15This is what Moses had given to the clans of the tribe of Reuben:[ † ]Numbers 34:14Joshua 13:15-23 16The territory from Aroer on the rim of the Arnon Valley, along with the city in the middle of the valley, to the whole plateau beyond Medeba,[ † ]Joshua 12:2Numbers 21:28Numbers 21:30Joshua 13:9 17to Heshbon and all its cities on the plateau, including Dibon, Bamoth-baal, Beth-baal-meon,[ † ]Numbers 21:28-30 18Jahaz, Kedemoth, Mephaath,[ † ]Numbers 21:23Judges 11:20Isaiah 15:4Jeremiah 48:34 19Kiriathaim, Sibmah, Zereth-shahar on the hill in the valley,[ † ]Numbers 32:37Jeremiah 48:1-23Ezekiel 25:9Numbers 32:38 20Beth-peor, the slopes of Pisgah, and Beth-jeshimoth—[ † ]Deuteronomy 3:17Joshua 12:3 21all the cities of the plateau and all the kingdom of Sihon king of the Amorites, who reigned in Heshbon until Moses killed him and the chiefs of Midian (Evi, Rekem, Zur, Hur, and Reba), the princes of Sihon who lived in the land.[ † ]Deuteronomy 3:10Numbers 21:24Numbers 31:8 22The Israelites also killed the diviner Balaam son of Beor along with the others they put to the sword.[ † ]Numbers 22:5Numbers 31:8
23And the border of the Reubenites was the bank of the Jordan. This was the inheritance of the clans of the Reubenites, including the cities and villages.
24This is what Moses had given to the clans of the tribe of Gad:[ † ]Numbers 34:141 Chronicles 5:11 25The territory of Jazer, all the cities of Gilead, and half the land of the Ammonites as far as Aroer, near Rabbah;[ † ]Numbers 32:1-35Judges 11:13-15Deuteronomy 3:112 Samuel 11:12 Samuel 12:26 26the territory from Heshbon to Ramath-mizpeh and Betonim, and from Mahanaim to the border of Debir; 27and in the valley, Beth-haram, Beth-nimrah, Succoth, and Zaphon, with the rest of the kingdom of Sihon king of Heshbon (the territory on the east side of the Jordan up to the edge of the Sea of Chinnereth).[ † ]Numbers 32:36Genesis 33:171 Kings 7:46Numbers 34:11Deuteronomy 3:17
28This was the inheritance of the clans of the Gadites, including the cities and villages.
29This is what Moses had given to the clans of the half-tribe of Manasseh, that is, to half the tribe of the descendants of Manasseh:[ † ]Numbers 34:141 Chronicles 5:23
30The territory from Mahanaim through all Bashan—all the kingdom of Og king of Bashan, including all the towns of Jair that are in Bashan, sixty cities;[ † ]Numbers 32:411 Chronicles 2:23
31half of Gilead; and Ashtaroth and Edrei, the royal cities of Og in Bashan. All this was for the clans of the descendants of Machir son of Manasseh, that is, half of the descendants of Machir.[ † ]Joshua 9:10Joshua 12:4Joshua 13:121 Chronicles 6:71Numbers 32:39-40Joshua 17:1
32These were the portions Moses had given them on the plains of Moab beyond the Jordan, east of Jericho.
33To the tribe of Levi, however, Moses had given no inheritance. The Lord, the God of Israel, is their inheritance, just as He had promised them.[ † ]Deuteronomy 18:1Joshua 13:14Joshua 18:7Numbers 18:20Deuteronomy 10:9Deuteronomy 18:1-2
