Joshua 13:13-29

¹³But the Israelis did not force the people of the Geshur and Maacah people-groups to leave their land, so they still live among the Israeli people.

¹⁴The tribe of Levi was the only tribe that did not get any land. Instead, just like Yahweh promised, they continued to receive food from the sacrifices that were given to Yahweh, the God whom the Israelis worship, the sacrifices that were burned on the sacred altar.

¹⁵Moses had allotted land to each clan in the tribe of Reuben.

¹⁶Their land extended from Aroer town near the Arnon River gorge to Medeba town. That included all of the plain that is near Medeba and the town in the middle of the gorge.

¹⁷It also included Heshbon city and all the nearby towns on the plain—Dibon, Bamioth-Baal, Beth-Baal-Meon,

¹⁸Jahaz, Kedemoth, Mephaath,

¹⁹Kiriathaim, Sibmah, Zereth-Shahar on the hill overlooking the valley,

²⁰Beth-Peor, the hills in the Pisgah area, and Beth-Jeshimoth.

²¹That land included all the towns on the plain and all the area that King Sihon had previously ruled. But the army of Moses had defeated him and the rulers of the Midian people-group: Evi, Rekem, Zur, Hur, and Reba. The armies of all those rulers fought battles along with the army of Sihon, and they lived in that country.

²²The Israeli army killed many people during those battles, including Balaam, the prophet from Beor, who tried to use magic to predict/tell what would happen in the future.

²³The western boundary of the land that was allotted to the clans of the tribe of Reuben was the Jordan River.

²⁴Moses also allotted some land to each clan in the tribe of Gad.

²⁵Their land included the Jazer area and all the towns of the Gilead area; half of the land where the Ammon people-group lived, as far as Aroer town which is near Rabbah town;

²⁶the area from Heshbon city to Ramath-Mizpah and Betonim towns; the area from Mahanaim town to the Debir region;

²⁷Beth-Haram, Beth-Nimrah, Succoth, and Zaphon cities in the valley; and the other area that King Sihon had ruled on the east side of the Jordan River. That area extended north to the southern end of Galilee Lake.

²⁸All this land, including the towns and villages, was allotted to the tribe of Gad.

²⁹Moses also had allotted some of the land on the east side of the Jordan River to half of the tribe of Manasseh.
