This is the land that remains: all the regions of the Philistines and all those of the (A)Geshurites; from the Shihor which is [a]east of Egypt, even as far as the border of Ekron to the north (it is counted as Canaanite); the (B)five governors of the Philistines: the Gazite, the Ashdodite, the Ashkelonite, the Gittite, the Ekronite; and the Avvite [b]to the south, all the land of the Canaanite, and Mearah that belongs to the Sidonians, as far as (C)Aphek, to the border of the (D)Amorite; and the land of the (E)Gebalite, and all of Lebanon, toward the [c]east, (F)from Baal-gad below Mount Hermon as far as [d]Lebo-hamath. All the inhabitants of the hill country from Lebanon as far as (G)Misrephoth-maim, all the Sidonians, I will [e]drive out from the sons of Israel; (H)only allot it to Israel as an inheritance as I have commanded you. Now therefore, apportion this land as an inheritance to the nine tribes and the half-tribe of Manasseh.”
