Joshua 13:6-21

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.
