Land That Remains to Be Possessed

13 Now (A)Joshua was old, advanced in years, and Yahweh said to him, “You are old, advanced in years, and very much of the land remains to be possessed. 2 This is the land that remains: all the regions of the Philistines and all those of the (B)Geshurites; 3 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 (C)five lords of the Philistines: the Gazite, the Ashdodite, the Ashkelonite, the Gittite, the Ekronite; and the Avvite 4 [b]to the south, all the land of the Canaanite, and Mearah that belongs to the Sidonians, as far as (D)Aphek, to the border of the (E)Amorite; 5 and the land of the (F)Gebalite, and all of Lebanon, to the east toward the sunrise, (G)from Baal-gad below Mount Hermon as far as [c]Lebo-hamath. 6 All the inhabitants of the hill country from Lebanon as far as (H)Misrephoth-maim, all the Sidonians, I will dispossess them from before the sons of Israel; (I)only allot it to Israel for an inheritance as I have commanded you. 7 So now, apportion this land for an inheritance to the nine tribes and the half-tribe of Manasseh.”

The Inheritance East of the Jordan

8 With [d]the other half-tribe, the Reubenites and the Gadites received their inheritance which Moses gave them (J)beyond the Jordan to the east, just as Moses the servant of Yahweh gave to them; 9 from Aroer, which is on the edge of the valley of the Arnon, with the city which is in the middle of the valley, and all the plain of Medeba, as far as Dibon; 10 and all the cities of Sihon king of the Amorites, who reigned in Heshbon, as far as the border of the sons of Ammon; 11 and (K)Gilead, and the [e]territory of the Geshurites and Maacathites, and all Mount Hermon, and all Bashan as far as Salecah; 12 all the kingdom of (L)Og in Bashan, who reigned in Ashtaroth and in Edrei (he alone remained of the remnant of the Rephaim); for Moses (M)struck them and dispossessed them. 13 But the sons of Israel did not dispossess the Geshurites or the Maacathites; so Geshur and Maacath live among Israel until this day. 14 (N)Only to the tribe of Levi he did not give an inheritance; the offerings by fire to Yahweh, the God of Israel, are [f]their inheritance, as He spoke to him.

15 So Moses gave an inheritance to the tribe of the sons of Reuben according to their families. 16 And their [g]territory was (O)from Aroer, which is on the edge of the valley of the Arnon, with the city which is in the middle of the valley and all the plain by Medeba; 17 Heshbon, and all its cities which are on the plain: Dibon and Bamoth-baal and Beth-baal-meon, 18 and (P)Jahaz and Kedemoth and Mephaath, 19 and (Q)Kiriathaim and Sibmah and Zereth-shahar on the hill of the valley, 20 and Beth-peor and the slopes of Pisgah and Beth-jeshimoth, 21 even all the cities of the plain and all the kingdom of Sihon king of the Amorites who reigned in Heshbon, whom Moses struck with the leaders of Midian, (R)Evi and Rekem and Zur and Hur and Reba, the princes of Sihon, who lived in the land. 22 The sons of Israel also killed (S)Balaam the son of Beor, the diviner, with the sword among the rest of their slain. 23 And the border of the sons of Reuben was the [h]Jordan. This was the inheritance of the sons of Reuben according to their families, the cities and their villages.

24 Moses also gave an inheritance to the tribe of Gad, to the sons of Gad, according to their families. 25 And their territory was (T)Jazer, and all the cities of Gilead, and half the land of the sons of Ammon, as far as Aroer which is before Rabbah; 26 and from Heshbon as far as Ramath-mizpeh and Betonim, and from Mahanaim as far as the border of [i]Debir; 27 and in the valley, Beth-haram and Beth-nimrah and Succoth and Zaphon, the rest of the kingdom of Sihon king of Heshbon, with the Jordan [j]as a border, as far as the lower end of the Sea of [k](U)Chinnereth beyond the Jordan to the east. 28 This is the inheritance of the sons of Gad according to their families, the cities and their villages.

29 Moses also gave an inheritance to the half-tribe of Manasseh; and it was for the half-tribe of the sons of Manasseh according to their families. 30 And their territory was from Mahanaim, all Bashan, all the kingdom of Og king of Bashan, and all of [l](V)Havvoth-jair, which are in Bashan, sixty cities; 31 also half of Gilead, with (W)Ashtaroth and Edrei, the cities of the kingdom of Og in Bashan, were for the sons of Machir the son of Manasseh, for half of the sons of Machir according to their families.

32 These are the territories which Moses apportioned for an inheritance in the plains of Moab, beyond the Jordan at Jericho to the east. 33 But (X)to the tribe of Levi, Moses did not give an inheritance; Yahweh, the God of Israel, is their inheritance, as He had [m]promised to them.

Jozua 13
BasisBijbel

De gebieden die nog veroverd moeten worden

13 Toen Jozua heel oud geworden was, zei de Heer tegen hem: "Je bent inmiddels heel oud geworden, maar er moet nog veel land veroverd worden. 2 De volgende gebieden moet je nog veroveren: alle gebieden van de Filistijnen en het hele land van de Gezurieten, 3 vanaf de Sichor aan de oostkant van Egypte tot aan het gebied van Ekron in het noorden. Dit gebied hoort bij het land van de Kanaänieten. Hierbij horen de steden Gaza, Asdod, Askelon, Gat en Ekron. Deze vijf steden worden geregeerd door vijf Filistijnse stadskoningen. 4 Ook het gebied in het zuiden van Kanaän, waar de Avvieten wonen, en Meara, waar de Sidoniërs wonen, tot aan Afek, aan de grens met de Amorieten. 5 Verder het land van de Giblieten en de hele Libanon in het oosten, van Baäl-Gad aan de voet van de Hermonbergen tot de weg naar Hamat. 6 Alle bergbewoners, vanaf de Libanon tot Misrefot-Maïm, en de Sidoniërs zal Ik voor de Israëlieten wegjagen. Loot er alvast van tevoren om wie welk deel zal krijgen als eigen gebied, zoals Ik je bevolen heb. 7 Verdeel het land dus nu onder de negen stammen en de halve stam van Manasse."

De verdeling van het land aan de oostkant van de Jordaan

8 De stammen van Ruben en Gad en de andere helft van de stam van Manasse hadden hun eigen gebied al gekregen. Mozes had hun het land gegeven aan de oostkant van de Jordaan. 9 Ze hadden het land gekregen vanaf Aroër, dat aan de oever van de beek Arnon ligt. Verder de stad die aan het middendeel van de beek ligt en de hele hoogvlakte van Medeba tot Dibon. 10 Ook alle steden van koning Sihon die in Hesbon regeerde, tot aan de grens met de Ammonieten. 11 Verder Gilead en het gebied van de Gezurieten en de Maächatieten, de Hermonbergen en heel Bazan tot Salcha, 12 het hele koninkrijk Bazan van koning Og die in Astarot en Edreï regeerde. Koning Og was de laatste van de reuzen geweest. Hij was door Mozes verslagen en zijn volk werd verjaagd. 13 Maar de Gezurieten en de Maächatieten werden niet door de Israëlieten weggejaagd. Zij wonen nu nog steeds bij de Israëlieten. 14 Maar aan de stam van Levi gaf Mozes geen eigen gebied. In plaats daarvan kregen zij een deel van de offers die aan de Heer, de God van Israël, worden gebracht, zoals Hij hun beloofd had.[a]

15 Mozes had de volgende gebieden verdeeld onder de families van de stam van Ruben: 16 het gebied vanaf Aroër, dat aan de beek Arnon ligt, de stad die aan het middendeel van de beek ligt, en de hele hoogvlakte bij Medeba. 17 Verder Hesbon en alle steden daar omheen op de hoogvlakte: Dibon, Bamot-Baäl, Bet-Baäl-Meon, 18 Jaza, Kedemot, Mefaät, 19 Kirjataïm, Sibma, Zeret-Hassahar op de heuvel in het dal, 20 Bet-Peor, Asdot-Pisga, Bet-Jesimot. 21 Dus alle steden op de hoogvlakte, het hele rijk van koning Sihon die door Mozes was verslagen. Ook het gebied van de koningen van Midian die in dat land woonden: Evi, Rekem, Zur, Hur en Reba, die trouw beloofd hadden aan Sihon. 22 Ook de waarzegger Bileam,[b] de zoon van Beor, was door de Israëlieten gedood toen zij alle bewoners doodden. 23 Dit waren de grenzen van het eigen gebied van de stam van Ruben. De Jordaan was daarvan de westgrens. Dit waren het land, de steden en de dorpen die werden verdeeld onder de families van de stam van Ruben.

24 Aan de families van de stam van Gad had Mozes de volgende gebieden gegeven: 25 het gebied van Jaëzer en alle steden van Gilead, en verder de helft van het land van de Ammonieten tot aan Aroër, dat tegenover Rabba ligt. 26 Dat was het gebied vanaf Hesbon tot aan Ramat-Mizpa en Bet-Onim, en vanaf Mahanaïm tot aan het gebied van Debir. 27 Ook een aantal steden in het dal: Bet-Haram, Bet-Nimra, Sukkot en Zafon, de rest van het koninkrijk van koning Sihon. Verder het land aan de oostkant langs de Jordaan, tot aan de Zee van Kinneret. 28 Dit waren het land, de steden en de dorpen die werden verdeeld onder de families van de stam van Gad.

29 Ook aan de families van de halve stam van Manasse had Mozes land gegeven: 30 het hele gebied aan de noordkant van Mahanaïm. Dat was het hele rijk van koning Og van Bazan, met alle 60 dorpen: de dorpen van Jaïr. 31 De helft van Gilead, en Astarot en Edreï, de koningssteden van Og in Bazan, werden verdeeld onder de helft van de families van de kinderen van Machir, de zoon van Manasse.

32 Dit waren hun eigen gebieden die ze van Mozes kregen in de velden van Moab, aan de oostkant van de Jordaan bij Jericho. 33 Maar aan de stam van Levi gaf Mozes geen eigen gebied. Want zij hadden God Zelf, zoals Hij hun beloofd had.

Joshua 13
New International Version

Land Still to Be Taken

13 When Joshua had grown old,(A) the Lord said to him, “You are now very old, and there are still very large areas of land to be taken over.

2 “This is the land that remains: all the regions of the Philistines(B) and Geshurites,(C) 3 from the Shihor River(D) on the east of Egypt to the territory of Ekron(E) on the north, all of it counted as Canaanite though held by the five Philistine rulers(F) in Gaza, Ashdod,(G) Ashkelon,(H) Gath and Ekron; the territory of the Avvites(I) 4 on the south; all the land of the Canaanites, from Arah of the Sidonians as far as Aphek(J) and the border of the Amorites;(K) 5 the area of Byblos;(L) and all Lebanon(M) to the east, from Baal Gad below Mount Hermon(N) to Lebo Hamath.(O)

6 “As for all the inhabitants of the mountain regions from Lebanon to Misrephoth Maim,(P) that is, all the Sidonians, I myself will drive them out(Q) before the Israelites. Be sure to allocate this land to Israel for an inheritance, as I have instructed you,(R) 7 and divide it as an inheritance(S) among the nine tribes and half of the tribe of Manasseh.”

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(T) it to them.(U)

9 It extended from Aroer(V) on the rim of the Arnon Gorge, and from the town in the middle of the gorge, and included the whole plateau(W) of Medeba as far as Dibon,(X) 10 and all the towns of Sihon king of the Amorites, who ruled in Heshbon,(Y) out to the border of the Ammonites.(Z) 11 It also included Gilead,(AA) the territory of the people of Geshur and Maakah, all of Mount Hermon and all Bashan as far as Salekah(AB)— 12 that is, the whole kingdom of Og in Bashan,(AC) who had reigned in Ashtaroth(AD) and Edrei.(AE) (He was the last of the Rephaites.(AF)) Moses had defeated them and taken over their land.(AG) 13 But the Israelites did not drive out the people of Geshur(AH) and Maakah,(AI) so they continue to live among the Israelites to this day.(AJ)

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.(AK)

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

16 The territory from Aroer(AL) on the rim of the Arnon Gorge, and from the town in the middle of the gorge, and the whole plateau past Medeba(AM) 17 to Heshbon and all its towns on the plateau,(AN) including Dibon,(AO) Bamoth Baal,(AP) Beth Baal Meon,(AQ) 18 Jahaz,(AR) Kedemoth,(AS) Mephaath,(AT) 19 Kiriathaim,(AU) Sibmah,(AV) Zereth Shahar on the hill in the valley, 20 Beth Peor,(AW) the slopes of Pisgah, and Beth Jeshimoth— 21 all the towns on the plateau(AX) and the entire realm of Sihon king of the Amorites, who ruled at Heshbon. Moses had defeated him and the Midianite chiefs,(AY) Evi, Rekem, Zur, Hur and Reba(AZ)—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,(BA) who practiced divination.(BB) 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.(BC)

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

25 The territory of Jazer,(BD) all the towns of Gilead(BE) and half the Ammonite country as far as Aroer, near Rabbah;(BF) 26 and from Heshbon(BG) to Ramath Mizpah and Betonim, and from Mahanaim(BH) to the territory of Debir;(BI) 27 and in the valley, Beth Haram, Beth Nimrah,(BJ) Sukkoth(BK) and Zaphon(BL) 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](BM)). 28 These towns and their villages were the inheritance of the Gadites,(BN) 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(BO) and including all of Bashan,(BP) the entire realm of Og king of Bashan(BQ)—all the settlements of Jair(BR) in Bashan, sixty towns, 31 half of Gilead, and Ashtaroth and Edrei (the royal cities of Og in Bashan).(BS) This was for the descendants of Makir(BT) son of Manasseh—for half of the sons of Makir, according to their clans.(BU)

32 This is the inheritance Moses had given when he was in the plains of Moab(BV) across the Jordan east of Jericho.(BW) 33 But to the tribe of Levi, Moses had given no inheritance;(BX) the Lord, the God of Israel, is their inheritance,(BY) as he promised them.(BZ)
