Joshua 13:8-33
Evangelical Heritage Version

Division of the Transjordan

8 Together with the other half tribe of Manasseh, the Reubenites and Gadites had already received their inheritance from Moses in the area east of the Jordan, just as Moses, the servant of the Lord, had assigned it to them.

9 It extended from Aroer, which is on the edge of the Arnon Canyon, and from the city that is in the middle of the canyon, and included all the tableland[a] from Medeba to Dibon.

10 It included all the cities of Sihon king of the Amorites, who ruled in Heshbon, up to the border of the people of Ammon;

11 also Gilead, and the territory of the Geshurites and the Ma’akathites, and all Mount Hermon and all of Bashan to Salekah;

12 also all the kingdom of Og in Bashan, who ruled in Ashtaroth and in Edrei.

(Og himself was left from the remnant of the Rephaim,[b] and Moses struck them down and drove them out.)

13 But the people of Israel did not drive out the Geshurites and the Ma’akathites. So Geshur and Ma’akath have lived within Israel to this day.

14 But to the tribe of Levi, Moses did not give an inheritance. Their inheritance is the offerings made by fire to the Lord, the God of Israel, just as he said to them.

Reuben

15 Moses gave land to the tribe of the descendants of Reuben according to their clans.

16 Their territory included Aroer, which is on the edge of the Arnon Canyon, and the city that is in the middle of the canyon, and all of the tableland by Medeba.

17 It included Heshbon and all its cities that are in the tableland, also Dibon, Bamoth Baal, and Beth Baal Meon, 18 also Jahaz, Kedemoth, and Mepha’ath;

19 also Kiriathaim, and Sibmah, and Zereth Shahar on the hill in the valley, 20 and Beth Peor, and the slopes of Pisgah, and Beth Jeshimoth, 21 all the cities of the tableland.

It included the whole kingdom of Sihon king of the Amorites, who ruled in Heshbon, whom Moses had struck down, together with the chiefs of Midian, namely, Evi, Rekem, Zur, Hur, and Reba, who were subject kings under Sihon and lived in his land.

22 In addition to the Midianites who were killed, the Israelites killed with the sword Balaam son of Beor, who practiced divination.

23 The border of the descendants of Reuben was the Jordan River. This was the border of the inheritance of the descendants of Reuben according to their clans—the cities and their villages.

Gad

24 Moses also gave land to the tribe of Gad, to the descendants of Gad according to their clans.

25 Their territory included Jazer, and all the cities of Gilead, and half of the land of the descendants of Ammon, as far as Aroer, which is near Rabbah.

26 Also it extended from Heshbon to Ramat Hamizpah and Betonim, and from Mahanaim to the border of Debir.

27 Also in the valley he gave them Beth Haram, Beth Nimrah, and Succoth, as well as Zaphon, and the rest of the kingdom of Sihon king of Heshbon, with the Jordan as a border, up to the end of the Sea of Galilee,[c] the region beyond the Jordan to the east.

28 This is the inheritance of the descendants of Gad according to their clans—the cities and their villages.

Half Manasseh

29 Moses also gave land to the half tribe of Manasseh. It was given to the half tribe of the descendants of Manasseh according to their clans.

30 Their territory extended from Mahanaim through all of Bashan, including all the kingdom of Og king of Bashan and all the tent villages of Jair, which are in Bashan—sixty cities in all.

31 He gave half of Gilead, also Ashtaroth and Edrei, cities belonging to the kingdom of Og in Bashan, to the descendants of Makir, the son of Manasseh, to half of the descendants of Makir according to their clans.

32 These territories are what Moses had given as an inheritance while in the Plains of Moab from the region beyond the Jordan of Jericho to the east.

33 But to the tribe of Levi, Moses had not given an inheritance. The Lord, the God of Israel—he is their inheritance, as he had said to them.

Joshua 13:8-33
Lexham English Bible

8 With it[a] the Reubenites,[b] and the Gadites[c] received their inheritance, which Moses gave them beyond the Jordan to the east, just as Moses Yahweh’s servant gave to them: 9 from Aroer, which is on the edge of the wadi[d] of Arnon, and the city which is in the middle of the wadi, and all the plateau from Medeba up to Dibon; 10 and all the cities of Sihon king of the Amorites,[e] who reigned in Heshbon up to the border of the Ammonites;[f] 11 and Gilead, and the border of the Geshurite[g] and the Maacathites,[h] all of Mount Hermon,[i] and Bashan up to Salecah; 12 all the kingdom of Og in Bashan, who reigned in Ashtaroth and Edrei—he was left over from the survivors[j] of the Rephaim; these Moses had defeated and driven out. 13 But the Israelites[k] did not drive out the Geshurites[l] or the Maacathites;[m] Geshur and Maacah live among Israel to this day. 14 Only the tribe of Levites[n] Moses did not give an inheritance; the offerings made by fire to Yahweh the God of Israel are their[o] inheritance, just as he promised to them.[p]

Reuben’s Inheritance

15 Moses gave an inheritance to the tribe of the descendants[q] of Reuben according to their families. 16 Their territory was from Aroer, which was on the edge of the wadi[r] of Arnon, and the city that is in the middle of the valley, and all the plateau by Medeba; 17 Heshbon and its cities that are on the plateau; Dibon, Bamoth Baal, Beth Baal Meon, 18 Jahaz, Kedemoth, Mephaath, 19 Kiriathaim, Sibmah, and Zereth Shahar on the hill of the valley; 20 Beth Peor, the slopes of Pisgah, and Beth Jeshimoth; 21 all of the cities of the plateau, and all the kingdom of Sihon king of the Amorites,[s] who reigned in Heshbon and whom Moses defeated with the leaders of Midian, Evi, Rekem, Zur, Hur, and Reba, the princes of Sihon who dwelled in the land. 22 In addition to their slain, the Israelites[t] killed with the sword Balaam son of Beor, who practiced divination. 23 And the border of the descendants[u] of Reuben was the Jordan and its banks.[v] This was the inheritance of the descendants[w] of Reuben according to their families, the cities, and their villages.

Gad’s Inheritance

24 Moses gave an inheritance to the tribe of Gad, to the descendants[x] of Gad, according to their families. 25 Their territory was Jazer and all the cities of Gilead, and half the land of the Ammonites[y] up to Aroer, which is east of Rabbah;[z] 26 and from Heshbon up to Ramah-Mizpeh and Betonim, and from Mahanaim up to the territory to Debir; 27 in the valley of Beth Haram, Beth Nimrah, Succoth, Zaphon, and the rest of the kingdom of Sihon king of Heshbon, the Jordan and its banks,[aa] up to the lower end of the Kinnereth Sea[ab] beyond the Jordan to the east. 28 This is the inheritance of the Gadites[ac] according to their families, the cities, and their villages.

The Half-Tribe of Manasseh’s Inheritance

29 Moses gave an inheritance to the half-tribe of Manasseh; it was for the half-tribe of the descendants[ad] of Manasseh according to their families. 30 Their territory was from Mahanaim, all Bashan, all the kingdom of Og king of Bashan, and all the settlements[ae] of Jair, which are in Bashan, sixty cities, 31 and half of Gilead, with Ashtaroth, Edrei, and the cities of the kingdom of Og in Bashan; these were allotted to the children of Makir son of Manasseh, for half of the children of Makir according to their families. 32 These are the territories that Moses gave as an inheritance on the desert-plateau of Moab, beyond the Jordan, east of Jericho. 33 But to the tribe of Levi Moses did not give an inheritance; Yahweh the God of Israel, he is their inheritance, just as he promised them.[af]

Joshua 13:8-33
New International Version

Division of the Land East of the Jordan

8 The other half of Manasseh,[a] the Reubenites and the Gadites had received the inheritance that Moses had given them east of the Jordan, as he, the servant of the Lord, had assigned(A) it to them.(B)

9 It extended from Aroer(C) on the rim of the Arnon Gorge, and from the town in the middle of the gorge, and included the whole plateau(D) of Medeba as far as Dibon,(E) 10 and all the towns of Sihon king of the Amorites, who ruled in Heshbon,(F) out to the border of the Ammonites.(G) 11 It also included Gilead,(H) the territory of the people of Geshur and Maakah, all of Mount Hermon and all Bashan as far as Salekah(I)— 12 that is, the whole kingdom of Og in Bashan,(J) who had reigned in Ashtaroth(K) and Edrei.(L) (He was the last of the Rephaites.(M)) Moses had defeated them and taken over their land.(N) 13 But the Israelites did not drive out the people of Geshur(O) and Maakah,(P) so they continue to live among the Israelites to this day.(Q)

14 But to the tribe of Levi he gave no inheritance, since the food offerings presented to the Lord, the God of Israel, are their inheritance, as he promised them.(R)

15 This is what Moses had given to the tribe of Reuben, according to its clans:

16 The territory from Aroer(S) on the rim of the Arnon Gorge, and from the town in the middle of the gorge, and the whole plateau past Medeba(T) 17 to Heshbon and all its towns on the plateau,(U) including Dibon,(V) Bamoth Baal,(W) Beth Baal Meon,(X) 18 Jahaz,(Y) Kedemoth,(Z) Mephaath,(AA) 19 Kiriathaim,(AB) Sibmah,(AC) Zereth Shahar on the hill in the valley, 20 Beth Peor,(AD) the slopes of Pisgah, and Beth Jeshimoth— 21 all the towns on the plateau(AE) and the entire realm of Sihon king of the Amorites, who ruled at Heshbon. Moses had defeated him and the Midianite chiefs,(AF) Evi, Rekem, Zur, Hur and Reba(AG)—princes allied with Sihon—who lived in that country. 22 In addition to those slain in battle, the Israelites had put to the sword Balaam son of Beor,(AH) who practiced divination.(AI) 23 The boundary of the Reubenites was the bank of the Jordan. These towns and their villages were the inheritance of the Reubenites, according to their clans.(AJ)

24 This is what Moses had given to the tribe of Gad, according to its clans:

25 The territory of Jazer,(AK) all the towns of Gilead(AL) and half the Ammonite country as far as Aroer, near Rabbah;(AM) 26 and from Heshbon(AN) to Ramath Mizpah and Betonim, and from Mahanaim(AO) to the territory of Debir;(AP) 27 and in the valley, Beth Haram, Beth Nimrah,(AQ) Sukkoth(AR) and Zaphon(AS) with the rest of the realm of Sihon king of Heshbon (the east side of the Jordan, the territory up to the end of the Sea of Galilee[b](AT)). 28 These towns and their villages were the inheritance of the Gadites,(AU) according to their clans.

29 This is what Moses had given to the half-tribe of Manasseh, that is, to half the family of the descendants of Manasseh, according to its clans:

30 The territory extending from Mahanaim(AV) and including all of Bashan,(AW) the entire realm of Og king of Bashan(AX)—all the settlements of Jair(AY) in Bashan, sixty towns, 31 half of Gilead, and Ashtaroth and Edrei (the royal cities of Og in Bashan).(AZ) This was for the descendants of Makir(BA) son of Manasseh—for half of the sons of Makir, according to their clans.(BB)

32 This is the inheritance Moses had given when he was in the plains of Moab(BC) across the Jordan east of Jericho.(BD) 33 But to the tribe of Levi, Moses had given no inheritance;(BE) the Lord, the God of Israel, is their inheritance,(BF) as he promised them.(BG)
