Joshua 13:1-7

1599 Geneva Bible

13 3 The borders and coasts of the land of Canaan. 8 The possession of the Reubenites, Gadites, and of the half tribe of Manasseh. 14 The Lord is the inheritance of Levi. 22 Balaam was slain.

¹ Now when Joshua was old, and ^[a]stricken in years, the Lord said unto him, Thou art old and ^[b]grown in age, and there remaineth exceeding much land to be ^[c]possessed:

² This is the land that remaineth, all the ^[d]regions of the Philistines, and all Geshuri.

³ From ^[e]Nilus which is ^[f]in Egypt, even unto the borders of Ekron Northward: this is counted of the Canaanites, even five Lordships of the Philistines, the Gazites, and the Ashdodites, the Ashkelonites, the Gittites, and the Ekronites, and the Avites:

⁴ From the South, all the land of the Canaanites, and the ^[g]cave that is beside the Sidonians, unto Aphek, and to the borders of the Amorites:

⁵ And the land of the Gebalites, and all Lebanon toward the Sun rising from ^[h]Baal Gad under mount Hermon, until one come to Hamath.

⁶ All the inhabitants of the mountains from Lebanon unto ^[i]Misrephoth, and all the Sidonians, I will cast them out from before the children of Israel: only divide thou it by lot unto the Israelites, to inherit, as I have commanded thee.

⁷ Now therefore divide this land to inherit, unto the nine tribes, and to the half tribe of Manasseh.
