Canaan Divided among the Tribes

13 Now Joshua was ^[a]old and advanced in years, and the Lord said to him, “You have grown old and advanced in years, and very ^[b]substantial portions of the land remain to be possessed. ² This is the land that remains: all the regions of the Philistines and all those of the Geshurites; ³ from the Shihor [waterway] which is east of Egypt [at the southern end of Canaan], northward to the border of Ekron (all of it regarded as Canaanite); the five rulers of the Philistines: the Gazite, Ashdodite, the Ashkelonite, the Gittite, the Ekronite; and the ^[c]Avvite ⁴ in the south, all the land of the Canaanite, and Mearah that belongs to the Sidonians, as far as Aphek, to the border of the Amorite; ⁵ and the land of the Gebalite, and all Lebanon, toward ^[d]the east, from Baal-gad below Mount Hermon to the entrance of Hamath. ⁶ As for all the inhabitants of the hill country from Lebanon to Misrephoth-maim, even all the Sidonians, I will drive them out before Israel; only allot the land to Israel as an inheritance just as I have commanded you. ⁷ So now, divide this land [west of the Jordan] as an inheritance for the nine tribes and the half-tribe of Manasseh.”
