Jósúabók 13
Icelandic Bible
13 Þegar Jósúa var orðinn gamall og hniginn að aldri, sagði Drottinn við hann: "Þú ert orðinn gamall og hniginn að aldri, en mjög mikið af landinu er enn óunnið.
2 Þetta er landið, sem enn er eftir: Öll héruð Filista og allt land Gesúra;
3 frá Síhór, sem rennur fram með Egyptalandi að austanverðu, til landamæra Ekron í norðri _ það telst með landi Kanaaníta _, fimm höfðingjar Filistanna í Gasa, Asdód, Askalon, Gat og Ekron, svo og Avítar í suðri,
4 allt land Kanaaníta og Meara, sem heyrir Sídoningum, allt til Afek, til landamæra Amoríta,
5 og land Giblíta og allt Líbanon í austri, frá Baal Gað undir Hermonfjalli allt þangað, er leið liggur til Hamat.
6 Allir fjallabúarnir frá Líbanon til Misrefót Majím, allir Sídoningar, _ ég mun stökkva þeim burt undan Ísraelsmönnum. En legg þú á hluti og skipt því meðal Ísraels til eignar, eins og ég hefi boðið þér.
7 Skipt þú nú landi þessu til eignar níu ættkvíslunum og hálfri ættkvísl Manasse."
8 Með hálfri ættkvísl Manasse hafa Rúbenítar og Gaðítar fengið sinn eignarhluta, er Móse gaf þeim hinumegin Jórdanar, austanmegin. Móse, þjónn Drottins, gaf þeim hann:
9 landið frá Aróer, sem liggur á bakka Arnonár, og borginni, sem liggur í dalnum miðjum, og allt sléttlendið frá Medeba til Díbon,
10 svo og allar borgir, er átti Síhon, Amorítakonungur, er sat í Hesbon, allt til landamæra Ammóníta.
11 Enn fremur Gíleað og land Gesúra og Maakatíta, Hermonfjöll öll og allt Basan til Salka,
12 allt konungsríki Ógs í Basan, sem sat í Astarót og Edreí. Hann var einn eftir af Refaítum; en Móse vann sigur á þeim og stökkti þeim burt.
13 Aftur á móti stökktu Ísraelsmenn Gesúrum og Maakatítum ekki burt, heldur búa Gesúrar og Maakatítar meðal Ísraels allt fram á þennan dag.
14 En ættkvísl Leví gaf hann ekkert óðal. Eldfórnir Drottins, Ísraels Guðs, eru óðal hans, eins og hann hét honum.
15 Móse fékk kynkvíslum Rúbens sona land eftir ættum þeirra.
16 Fengu þeir land frá Aróer, sem liggur á bakka Arnonár, og frá borginni, sem liggur í dalnum miðjum, og allt sléttlendið hjá Medeba,
17 Hesbon og allar borgirnar þar umhverfis, sem liggja á sléttlendinu, Díbon, Bamót Baal, Bet-Baal-Meon,
18 Jahsa, Kedemót, Mefaat,
19 Kirjataím, Síbma, Seret Sahar á fellinu í dalnum,
20 og Bet Peór, Pisgahlíðar og Bet Jesímót,
21 enn fremur allar borgir á sléttlendinu og allt konungsríki Síhons, Amorítakonungs, sem sat í Hesbon og Móse vann sigur á ásamt höfðingjum Midíaníta: Eví, Rekem, Súr, Húr og Reba, jörlum Síhons, sem bjuggu í landinu.
22 Ísraelsmenn drápu og spásagnamanninn Bíleam Beórsson með sverði, auk annarra, er þeir felldu.
23 Og vesturtakmörkum Rúbens sona réð Jórdan alla leið. Þetta er óðal Rúbens sona eftir ættum þeirra, borgirnar og þorpin, sem að liggja.
24 Móse fékk kynkvísl Gaðs, Gaðs sonum, land eftir ættum þeirra.
25 Fengu þeir land sem hér segir: Jaser og allar borgirnar í Gíleað og hálft land Ammóníta, allt til Aróer, sem liggur fyrir austan Rabba,
26 og frá Hesbon til Ramat Mispe og Betóním, og frá Mahanaím til Lídebír landamæra.
27 Enn fremur í dalnum: Bet Haram, Bet Nimra, Súkkót og Safón, leifarnar af konungsríki Síhons, konungs í Hesbon, og Jórdan á mörkum allt að suðurenda Genesaretvatns, austanmegin Jórdanar.
28 Þetta er óðal Gaðs sona eftir ættum þeirra, borgirnar og þorpin, er að liggja.
29 Móse fékk hálfri ættkvísl Manasse land. Fékk hálf kynkvísl Manasse sona land eftir ættum sínum sem hér segir.
30 Land þeirra náði frá Mahanaím yfir allt Basan, allt konungsríki Ógs, konungs í Basan, og öll Jaírs-þorp, sem liggja í Basan, sextíu borgir.
31 Enn fremur yfir hálft Gíleað og Astarót og Edreí, höfuðstaði konungsríkis Ógs í Basan. Þetta fengu Makírs synir, Manassesonar, helmingurinn af Makírs sonum eftir ættum þeirra.
32 Þetta voru lönd þau, er Móse úthlutaði á Móabsvöllum hinumegin Jórdanar gegnt Jeríkó, austanmegin.
33 En ættkvísl Leví gaf Móse ekkert óðal. Drottinn, Ísraels Guð, er óðal þeirra, eins og hann hefir heitið þeim.
Joshua 13
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.
The Land of Reuben
15 (Y)And Moses had given to the tribe of the children of Reuben an inheritance according to their families. 16 Their territory was (Z)from Aroer, which is on the bank of the River Arnon, (AA)and the city that is in the midst of the ravine, (AB)and all the plain by Medeba; 17 (AC)Heshbon and all its cities that are in the plain: Dibon, Bamoth Baal, Beth Baal Meon, 18 (AD)Jahaza, Kedemoth, Mephaath, 19 (AE)Kirjathaim, (AF)Sibmah, Zereth Shahar on the mountain of the valley, 20 Beth Peor, (AG)the slopes of Pisgah, and Beth Jeshimoth— 21 (AH)all the cities of the plain and all the kingdom of Sihon king of the Amorites, who reigned in Heshbon, (AI)whom Moses had struck (AJ)with the princes of Midian: Evi, Rekem, Zur, Hur, and Reba, who were princes of Sihon dwelling in the country. 22 The children of Israel also killed with the sword (AK)Balaam the son of Beor, the [g]soothsayer, among those who were killed by them. 23 And the border of the children of Reuben was the bank of the Jordan. This was the inheritance of the children of Reuben according to their families, the cities and their villages.
The Land of Gad
24 (AL)Moses also had given an inheritance to the tribe of Gad, to the children of Gad according to their families. 25 (AM)Their territory was Jazer, and all the cities of Gilead, (AN)and half the land of the Ammonites as far as Aroer, which is before (AO)Rabbah, 26 and from Heshbon to Ramath Mizpah and Betonim, and from Mahanaim to the border of Debir, 27 and in the valley (AP)Beth Haram, Beth Nimrah, (AQ)Succoth, and Zaphon, the rest of the kingdom of Sihon king of Heshbon, with the Jordan as its border, as far as the edge (AR)of the [h]Sea of Chinnereth, on the other side of the Jordan eastward. 28 This is the inheritance of the children of Gad according to their families, the cities and their villages.
Half the Tribe of Manasseh (East)
29 (AS)Moses also had given an inheritance to half the tribe of Manasseh; it was for half the tribe of the children of Manasseh according to their families: 30 Their territory was from Mahanaim, all Bashan, all the kingdom of Og king of Bashan, and (AT)all the towns of Jair which are in Bashan, sixty cities; 31 half of Gilead, and (AU)Ashtaroth and Edrei, cities of the kingdom of Og in Bashan, were for the (AV)children of Machir the son of Manasseh, for half of the children of Machir according to their families.
32 These are the areas which Moses had [i]distributed as an inheritance in the plains of Moab on the other side of the Jordan, by Jericho eastward. 33 (AW)But to the tribe of Levi Moses had given no inheritance; the Lord God of Israel was their inheritance, (AX)as He had said to them.
