Joshua 13:4-30

⁴In the south (the territory of the Avvites); all the lands of the Canaanites, from Arah that belongs to the Sidonians, as far as Aphek which is on the border of the Amorites;

⁵the land of the Gebalites, all of Lebanon toward the east, from Baal Gad below Mount Hermon to Lebo Hamath.

⁶Also, all the inhabitants of the hill country from Lebanon as far as Misrephoth Maim, including all the people of Sidon. I will drive them out before the army of Israel. Be sure to assign the land to Israel as an inheritance, as I commanded you.

⁷Divide this land as an inheritance to the nine tribes and to the half tribe of Manasseh.”

⁸With the other half of the tribe of Manasseh, the Reubenites and the Gadites had received their inheritance that Moses gave them on the east side of the Jordan,

⁹from Aroer, which is on the edge of the Arnon river gorge (including the city that is in the middle of the gorge), to all the plateau of Medeba as far as Dibon;

¹⁰all the cities of Sihon, king of the Amorites, who ruled in Heshbon, to the border of the Ammonites;

¹¹Gilead, and the region of the Geshurites and Maacathites, all of Mount Hermon, all Bashan to Salekah;

¹²all the kingdom of Og in Bashan, who reigned in Ashtaroth and Edrei—these are what was left of the remnant of the Rephaim—Moses struck them and drove them out.

¹³But the people of Israel did not drive out the Geshurites or the Maacathites. Instead, Geshur and Maacath live among Israel to this day.

¹⁴To the tribe of Levi alone Moses gave no inheritance. The offerings of Yahweh, the God of Israel, made by fire, are their inheritance, as God said to Moses.

¹⁵Moses gave an inheritance to the tribe of Reuben, clan by clan.

¹⁶Their territory was from Aroer, on the edge of the Arnon River gorge, and the city that is in the middle of the valley, and all the plateau by Medeba.

¹⁷Reuben also received Heshbon and all its cities that are in the plateau, Dibon, and Bamoth Baal, and Beth Baal Meon,

¹⁸and Jahaz, and Kedemoth, and Mephaath,

¹⁹and Kiriathaim, and Sibmah, and Zereth Shahar on the hill of the valley.

²⁰Reuben also received Beth Peor, the slopes of Pisgah, Beth Jeshimoth,

²¹all the cities of the plateau, and all the kingdom of Sihon king of the Amorites, who had reigned in Heshbon, whom Moses had defeated together with the leaders of Midian, Evi, Rekem, Zur, Hur and Reba, the princes of Sihon, who had lived in the land.

²²The people of Israel also killed with the sword Balaam son of Beor, who practiced divination, among the rest of those they had killed.

²³The border of the tribe of Reuben is the Jordan River; this is their boundary. This was the inheritance of the tribe of Reuben, given to each of their clans, with their cities and villages.

²⁴This is what Moses gave to the tribe of Gad, clan by clan:

²⁵Their territory was Jazer, all the cities of Gilead and half the land of the Ammonites, to Aroer, which is east of Rabbah,

²⁶from Heshbon to Ramath Mizpah and Betonim, from Mahanaim to the territory of Debir.

²⁷In the valley, Moses gave them Beth Haram, Beth Nimrah, Succoth, and Zaphon, the rest of the kingdom of Sihon king of Heshbon, with the Jordan as a border, to the lower end of the Sea of Kinnereth, eastward beyond the Jordan.

²⁸This is the inheritance of the tribe of Gad, clan by clan, with their cities and villages.

²⁹Moses gave an inheritance to the half tribe of Manasseh. It was assigned to the half tribe of the people of Manasseh, clan by clan.

³⁰Their territory was from Mahanaim, all Bashan, all the kingdom of Og king of Bashan, and all the towns of Jair, which are in Bashan, sixty cities;
