Joshua 13:1-14

New King James Version

Remaining Land to Be Conquered

13 Now Joshua ^(A)was old, advanced in years. And the Lord said to him: “You are old, advanced in years, and there remains very much land yet to be possessed. ^2 (B)This is the land that yet remains: ^(C)all the territory of the Philistines and all ^(D)that of the Geshurites, ^3 (E)from Sihor, which is east of Egypt, as far as the border of Ekron northward (which is counted as Canaanite); the ^(F)five lords of the Philistines—the Gazites, the Ashdodites, the Ashkelonites, the Gittites, and the Ekronites; also ^(G)the Avites; ⁴ from the south, all the land of the Canaanites, and Mearah that belongs to the Sidonians ^(H)as far as Aphek, to the border of ^(I)the Amorites; ⁵ the land of ^(J)the ^[a]Gebalites, and all Lebanon, toward the sunrise, ^(K)from Baal Gad below Mount Hermon as far as the entrance to Hamath; ⁶ all the inhabitants of the mountains from Lebanon as far as ^(L)the ^[b]Brook Misrephoth, and all the Sidonians—them ^(M)I will drive out from before the children of Israel; only ^(N)divide^[c] it by lot to Israel as an inheritance, as I have commanded you. ⁷ Now therefore, divide this land as an inheritance to the nine tribes and half the tribe of Manasseh.”

The Land Divided East of the Jordan

⁸ With the other half-tribe the Reubenites and the Gadites received their inheritance, ^(O)which Moses had given them, ^(P)beyond the Jordan eastward, as Moses the servant of the Lord had given them: ⁹ from Aroer which is on the bank of the River Arnon, and the town that is in the midst of the ravine, ^(Q)and all the plain of Medeba as far as Dibon; ^10 (R)all the cities of Sihon king of the Amorites, who reigned in Heshbon, as far as the border of the children of Ammon; ^11 (S)Gilead, and the border of the Geshurites and Maachathites, all Mount Hermon, and all Bashan as far as Salcah; ¹² all the kingdom of Og in Bashan, who reigned in Ashtaroth and Edrei, who remained of ^(T)the remnant of the giants; ^(U)for Moses had ^[d]defeated and ^[e]cast out these.

¹³ Nevertheless the children of Israel ^(V)did not drive out the Geshurites or the Maachathites, but the Geshurites and the Maachathites dwell among the Israelites until this day.

^14 (W)Only to the tribe of Levi he had given ^[f]no inheritance; the sacrifices of the Lord God of Israel made by fire are their inheritance, ^(X)as He said to them.
