Unconquered Lands
13 Joshua was now old, advanced in age,(A) and the Lord said to him, ‘You have become old, advanced in age, but a great deal of the land remains to be possessed.(B) 2 This is the land that remains:
All the districts of the Philistines and the Geshurites: 3 from the Shihor east of Egypt to the border of Ekron on the north (considered to be Canaanite territory) – the five Philistine rulers of Gaza, Ashdod, Ashkelon, Gath, and Ekron, as well as the Avvites 4 in the south; all the land of the Canaanites, from Arah of the Sidonians to Aphek and as far as the border of the Amorites; 5 the land of the Gebalites;(C) and all Lebanon east from Baal-gad below Mount Hermon to the entrance of Hamath[a](D) – 6 all the inhabitants of the hill country from Lebanon to Misrephoth-maim,(E) all the Sidonians.
I will drive them out before the Israelites, only distribute the land as an inheritance for Israel, as I have commanded you. 7 Therefore, divide this land as an inheritance to the nine tribes and half the tribe of Manasseh.’
The Inheritance East of the Jordan
8 With the other half of the tribe of Manasseh, the Reubenites and Gadites had received the inheritance Moses gave them beyond the Jordan to the east, just as Moses the Lord’s servant had given them:(F)
9 From Aroer on the rim of the Arnon Valley, along with the city in the middle of the valley,(G) all the Medeba plateau as far as Dibon, 10 and all the cities of King Sihon of the Amorites, who reigned in Heshbon, to the border of the Ammonites; 11 also Gilead(H) and the territory of the Geshurites and Maacathites, all Mount Hermon, and all Bashan to Salecah – 12 the whole kingdom of Og in Bashan, who reigned in Ashtaroth and Edrei; he was one of the remaining Rephaim.
Moses struck them down and drove them out,(I) 13 but the Israelites did not drive out the Geshurites and Maacathites.(J) So Geshur and Maacath still live in Israel today.(K)
14 He did not, however, give any inheritance to the tribe of Levi. This was their inheritance, just as he had promised: the food offerings made to the Lord, the God of Israel.(L)
Reuben’s Inheritance
15 To the tribe of Reuben’s descendants by their clans, Moses gave 16 this as their territory:
From Aroer on the rim of the Arnon Valley, along with the city in the middle of the valley, the whole plateau as far as[b] Medeba, 17 with Heshbon and all its cities on the plateau – Dibon, Bamoth-baal, Beth-baal-meon, 18 Jahaz, Kedemoth, Mephaath,(M) 19 Kiriathaim, Sibmah, Zereth-shahar on the hill in the valley,(N) 20 Beth-peor, the slopes of Pisgah, and Beth-jeshimoth – 21 all the cities of the plateau, and all the kingdom of King Sihon of the Amorites, who reigned in Heshbon. Moses had killed him and the chiefs of Midian – Evi, Rekem, Zur, Hur, and Reba – the princes of Sihon who lived in the land.(O) 22 Along with those the Israelites put to death, they also killed the diviner, Balaam son of Beor, with the sword.
23 The border of the Reubenites was the Jordan and its plain. This was the inheritance of the Reubenites by their clans, with the cities and their settlements.
Gad’s Inheritance
24 To the tribe of the Gadites by their clans, Moses gave 25 this as their territory:
Jazer and all the cities of Gilead, and half the land of the Ammonites to Aroer, near Rabbah; 26 from Heshbon to Ramath-mizpeh and Betonim, and from Mahanaim to the border of Debir;[c] 27 in the valley: Beth-haram, Beth-nimrah, Succoth, and Zaphon – the rest of the kingdom of King Sihon of Heshbon. Their land also included the Jordan and its territory as far as the edge of the Sea of Chinnereth[d] on the east side of the Jordan.
28 This was the inheritance of the Gadites by their clans, with the cities and their settlements.
East Manasseh’s Inheritance
29 And to half the tribe of Manasseh (that is, to half the tribe of Manasseh’s descendants by their clans) Moses gave 30 this as their territory:
From Mahanaim including all of Bashan – all the kingdom of King Og of Bashan, including all of Jair’s Villages[e](P) that are in Bashan – sixty cities. 31 But half of Gilead, and Og’s royal cities in Bashan – Ashtaroth and Edrei – are for the descendants of Machir son of Manasseh (that is, half the descendants of Machir by their clans).
32 These were the portions Moses gave them on the plains of Moab beyond the Jordan east of Jericho. 33 But Moses did not give a portion to the tribe of Levi. The Lord, the God of Israel, was their inheritance, just as he had promised them.(Q)

Ytterligare områden att inta
13 Josua var nu en gammal man, och Herren sa till honom: Du har nu blivit gammal, och fortfarande finns det flera folk som måste besegras
2-7 och stora områden som återstår att inta:Filisteernas alla landområden, eftersom hela området mellan Egyptens bäck och Ekrons område räknas till Kanaans land, det som filisteernas fem hövdingar regerar över, nämligen Gasa, Asdod, Askelon, Gat och Ekron.Även aveernas område hör dit, gesureernas land, Meara (som tillhör sidonierna) och ända till Afek vid gränsen till amoreernas område.Gebaliternas land vid kusterna och hela Libanontrakten från Baal-Gad nedanför berget Hermon till vägen mot Hamat. Hela bergsbygden från Libanon till Misrefot-Maim med sidoniernas områden.Jag är beredd att driva bort alla dessa folk för Israels barns skull, så räkna redan nu med dessa områden när du delar landet mellan de nio stammarna och ena hälften av Manasses stam, precis som jag befallt dig.
Landet öster om Jordan delas upp
8 Den andra hälften av Manasses stam och Rubens och Gads stammar hade redan fått sina områden på östra sidan av Jordan, för Mose hade tidigare tilldelat dem detta område.
9 Det sträckte sig från Aroer vid floden Arnon, med staden i dalen inräknad, och över Medebaslätten till Dibon.
10 Det omfattade också alla de städer som tillhört amoreernas kung Sihon, som regerade i Hesbon, och sträckte sig ända bort till ammoniternas område.
11 Vidare hörde Gilead och gesureernas och maakateernas område dit samt hela Hermons bergsbygd och hela Basan med staden Salka,
12 och dessutom det område som tillhörde kung Og i Basan, som hade regerat i Astarot och Edrei. Han var den siste av rafaeerna, vilka Mose hade drivit bort.
13 Men Israels folk hade inte fördrivit gesureerna och maakateerna, som än i dag bor kvar bland israeliterna.
14 Mose hade inte tilldelat Levis stam något landområde. Den fick i stället de offer som frambars inför Herren.
15 Mose hade tilldelat Rubens stam följande område, så stort att det skulle vara tillräckligt för alla i stammen.
16 Det sträckte sig från Aroer vid Arnons strand och från staden som låg mitt i dalen och omfattade hela slätten vid Medeba
17 till Hesbon och de andra städerna på slätten, Dibon, Bamot-Baal, Bet-Baal-Meon,
18 Jahas, Kedemot, Mefaat,
19 Kirjataim, Sibma, Seret-Hassahar på Dalberget,
20 Bet-Peor samt Pisgas sluttningar och Bet-Hajesimot.
21 Rubens land omfattade också de övriga städerna på slätten, som tillhörde Sihons kungadöme. Sihon var den kung som hade bott i Hesbon och blivit dödad av Mose tillsammans med de midjanitiska hövdingarna Evi, Rekem, Sur, Hur och Reba.
22 Israels folk hade också dödat spåmannen Bileam, Beors son.
23 Floden Jordan utgjorde gräns i väster för Rubens stam.
24 Mose gav landområden också till Gads stam i förhållande till dess storlek.
25 Området omfattade Jaeser och alla städer i Gilead och hälften av Ammons barns land, ända till det Aroer som ligger i närheten av Rabba.
26 Det sträckte sig också från Hesbon ända till Ramat-Hammospe och Betonim, och från Mahanaim ända till Lidebirs område.
27-28 I dalen fick de Bet-Haran, Bet-Nimra, Suckot, Safon och det övriga av landet som tillhört kung Sihon i Hesbon. Floden Jordan utgjorde den västra gränsen upp till Galileiska sjön. Därifrån gick gränsen åt öster bort från floden.
29 Mose hade gett följande område till den ena hälften av Manasses stam efter dess behov.
30 Deras område sträckte sig norrut från Mahanaim och omfattade hela Basan, kung Ogs tidigare kungadöme, och alla Jairs sextio städer i Basan.
31 Hälften av Gilead och kung Ogs huvudstäder Astarot och Edrei gavs åt ena hälften av Makirs, Manasses sons, familj.
32 På detta sätt delade Mose landet öster om Jordan där folket slagit läger mitt emot Jeriko.
33 Men Mose hade inte tilldelat Levis stam något område, för han hade förklarat för dem att Herren Gud skulle vara deras arv. Han var allt vad de behövde, precis som han hade lovat dem.

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)
