Ang Kayutaan nga Ilogonon Pa

13 Sa dihang tigulang na kaayo si Josue, miingon ang Ginoo kaniya, “Tigulang ka na kaayo ug daghan pang kayutaan nga kinahanglang panag-iyahon. Mao kini ang kayutaan nga wala pa mailog: tanang kayutaan sa mga Filistihanon ug Geshusihanon nga sakop sa teritoryo sa mga Canaanhon. Naggikan kini sa suba sa Shihor sa sidlakang bahin sa Ehipto hangtod sa utlanan sa Ekron sa amihan, ug lakip na ang lima ka mga lungsod sa mga Filistihanon: Gaza, Ashdod, Ashkelon, Gat, ug Ekron. Ug wala pa usab mailog ang kayutaan sa mga Abimihanon sa habagatan; ang tanang yuta sa mga Canaanhon gikan sa Meara, nga iya kaniadto sa mga Sidohanon, hangtod sa Afek nga utlanan sa yuta sa mga Amorihanon; ang yuta sa mga Gebalihanon, ug ang tibuok nga Lebanon sa sidlakan, gikan sa Baal Gad sa tiilan sa Bukid sa Hermon hangtod sa Lebo sa Hamat; ug lakip usab ang mga bukid gikan sa Lebanon hangtod sa Misrefot Maim, nga iya sa mga Sidohanon.

“Inigsulong ninyo, ako mismo ang moabog sa mga lumulupyo niining mga dapita. Siguradoha nga mabahin kini nga mga yuta ngadto sa mga Israelinhon isip ilang panulondon, sumala sa gisugo ko kanimo. Bahinon mo kining mga yutaa ngadto sa siyam ka mga tribo ug sa katunga sa tribo ni Manase.”

Ang tribo ni Reuben, Gad, ug ang katunga sa tribo ni Manase gihatagan na ni Moises nga alagad sa Ginoo sa ilang bahin sa sidlakang bahin sa Jordan. Ang yuta nila naggikan sa Aroer nga anaa sa kilid sa Lugut sa Arnon (lakip na niini ang lungsod taliwala niini nga lugut) paingon sa tibuok patag ibabaw sa bukid sa Medeba hangtod sa Dibon. 10 Nalakip usab ang tanang mga lungsod nga anaa ilalom sa pagmando ni Sihon nga naghari sa Heshbon, hangtod sa utlanan sa mga Ammonihanon. 11 Lakip usab ang Gilead ug ang mga yuta nga gipuy-an sa mga Geshusihanon ug mga Maacatihanon, ang tibuok nga Bukid sa Hermon, ug ang tibuok Basan hangtod sa Saleca. 12 Lakip usab ang tibuok gingharian ni Og nga naghari sa Ashtarot ug sa Edrei. Si Og usa sa mga nahibilin nga kaliwat nga Refaiminhon nga gipildi ni Moises ug giabog gikan sa ilang mga yuta. 13 Apan wala maabog[a] sa mga Israelinhon ang mga Geshusihanon ug ang mga Maacatihanon. Ug kining mga tawhana nagapuyo gihapon uban sa mga Israelinhon hangtod karon.

14 Wala hatagi ni Moises ug panulondon ang tribo ni Levi. Ang ilang pagadawaton mao ang bahin gikan sa mga halad pinaagi sa kalayo[b] nga ginahalad alang sa Ginoo, ang Dios sa Israel, sumala sa giingon sa Ginoo kang Moises.

15 Mao kini ang bahin sa yuta nga gihatag ni Moises sa tribo ni Reuben, nga gibahin ngadto sa matag pamilya:

16 Gikan sa Aroer nga anaa sa kilid sa Lugut sa Arnon (lakip na niini ang lungsod tapad niini nga lugut) hangtod sa tibuok patag ibabaw sa bukid sa Medeba. 17 Lakip usab ang Heshbon ug ang tanang lungsod niini sa kapatagan nga mao ang Dibon, Bamot Baal, Bet Baal Meon, 18 Jahaz, Kedemot, Mefaat, 19 Kiriataim, Sibma, Zeret Shahar (nga anaa sa bungtod sa kapatagan), 20 Bet Peor, ubos nga bahin sa Pisga, Bet Jeshimot, 21 ug ang tanang mga lungsod sa patag ibabaw sa bukid ug ang tanang mga lungsod nga sakop ni Sihon nga hari sa mga Amorihanon nga naghari sa Heshbon. Napildi siya ni Moises ingon man ang mga pangulo sa Midian nga sila si Evi, Rekem, Zur, Hur, ug Reba. Kini sila nangulo sa ilang kayutaan ubos sa paggahom ni Haring Sihon. 22 Lakip usab sa mga gipatay sa mga Israelinhon mao si Balaam nga manalagna nga anak ni Beor. 23 Ang Suba sa Jordan mao ang utlanan sa tribo ni Reuben. Mao kadto ang mga lungsod ug mga baryo nga gihatag ngadto sa tribo ni Reuben, nga gibahin ngadto sa matag pamilya.

24 Mao kini ang bahin sa yuta nga gihatag ni Moises sa tribo ni Gad, nga gibahin ngadto sa matag pamilya:

25 Ang Jazer ug ang tanang mga lungsod sa Gilead, ug ang katunga sa yuta sa mga Amonihanon hangtod sa Aroer nga anaa sa atbang sa Raba. 26 Lakip usab ang mga yuta nga naggikan sa Heshbon hangtod sa Ramat Mizpa ug Betonim, ug gikan sa Mahanaim hangtod sa utlanan sa Lo Debar.[c] 27 Ang yuta sa Kapatagan sa Jordan nga naangkon nila mao ang Bet Haram, Bet Nimra, Sucot, Zafon, ug ang nahibiling sakop sa gingharian ni Sihon nga hari sa Heshbon. Ang utlanan sa kasadpan mao ang Suba sa Jordan hangtod sa Linaw sa Galilea.[d] 28 Mao kadto ang mga lungsod ug mga baryo nga gihatag ngadto sa tribo ni Gad, nga gibahin ngadto sa matag pamilya.

29 Mao kini ang bahin sa yuta nga gihatag ni Moises sa katunga sa tribo ni Manase, nga gibahin ngadto sa matag pamilya:

30 Gikan sa Mahanaim hangtod sa tibuok Basan, ang tibuok gingharian ni Og nga hari sa Basan, ug ang 60 ka mga lungsod sa Jair nga sakop sa Basan. 31 Lakip usab ang katunga sa Gilead, ug ang Ashtarot ug Edrei, ang mga lungsod sa Basan sa gingharian ni Og. Mao kadto ang kayutaan nga gihatag ngadto sa katunga sa mga kaliwat ni Makir nga anak ni Manase, nga gibahin ngadto sa matag pamilya.

32 Mao kadto ang pagkabahin ni Moises sa mga yuta sa sidlakang bahin sa Jerico ug Jordan sa dihang didto siya sa kapatagan sa Moab. 33 Apan wala hatagi ni Moises ang tribo ni Levi ug yuta nga ilang panulondon tungod kay ang ilang panulondon mao ang Ginoo,[e] ang Dios sa Israel, sumala sa iyang gisulti kanila.

The Division of the Land among the Tribes[a]

Chapter 13

The Division Commanded by the Lord.When Joshua had grown old and was well advanced in years, the Lord said to him, “You have grown old, and there is still quite a bit of the land that you must conquer.[b] This is the part of the land that still remains: the territory of the Philistines and all of Geshur from Sihor which lay near Egypt, to the territory of Ekron in the north (all of which is Canaanite). This is the territory of the five lords of the Philistines: of the Gazathites, of the Ashdodthites, of the Ash-kalonites, of the Gittites, of the Ekronites, that is, the Avites. From the south, it includes all of the land of the Canaanites and Mearah, that belongs to the Sidonians, up to Aphek, to the boundary with the Amorites, and it includes the land of the Gebalites and all of Lebanon to the east, from Baal-gad beneath Mount Hermon up to the entrance to Lebo-hamath. There are also all of the inhabitants of the hill country from Lebanon up to Misrephoth-maim, that is, the land of the Sidonians. I myself will drive them out before the Israelites. You are to divide it among the Israelites as an inheritance as I have commanded you. Divide this land as an inheritance among the nine tribes and one-half of the tribe of Manasseh.”

The Eastern Tribes. The other half, the Reubenites and the Gadites, had already received their inheritance from Moses on the other side of the Jordan, to the east. Moses, the servant of God, gave it to them. It began at Aroer on the banks of the Arnon River, from the city itself which is in the middle of the river, and it included the whole plain of Medeba as far as Dibon, 10 all of the cities of Sihon, the king of the Amorites, who reigned in Heshbon, up to the boundary with the Ammonites, 11 Gilead, the territory of the Geshurites and the Maachathites, all of Mount Hermon, all of Bashan up to Salecah, 12 and all of the kingdom of Og in Bashan who reigned in Ashtaroth and Edrei (he was the last of the Rephaim). Moses defeated them and cast them out.

13 The Israelites did not cast out the Geshurites or the Maachathites. The Geshurites and the Maachathites dwell among the Israelites up to the present.[c]

14 He did not give any inheritance to the tribe of Levi. The burnt offerings made to the Lord, the God of Israel, are their inheritance, as he had told them.

15 The Tribe of Reuben. Moses had given an inheritance to the Reubenites dividing it according to their clans. 16 Their territory included Aroer on the banks of the Arnon River, from the city itself which is in the middle of the river, as well as the whole plain of Medeba, 17 Heshbon and all of its dependent towns in the plain: Dibon, Bamoth-baal, Beth-baal-meon, 18 Jahaz, Kedemoth, Mephaath, 19 Kiriathaim, Sibmah, Zereth-shahar on the mountain of the valley, 20 Beth-peor, the slopes of the Pisgah, and Beth-jeshimoth. 21 These were all the cities of the plain, the entire kingdom of Sihon, the king of the Amorites, who reigned in Heshbon. Moses had struck him down along with the princes of Midian: Evi, Rekem, Zur, Hur, and Reba, who were princes of Sihon dwelling in that land. 22 Among those who were slain was also Balaam, the son of Beor, whom the Israelites put to the sword. 23 The boundary of the Reubenites was the banks of the Jordan. These towns and villages are the inheritance of the Reubenites, divided according to its clans.

24 The Tribe of Gad. Moses gave an inheritance to the Gadites, dividing it according to their clans. 25 It included the territory of Jezer, all of the cities of Gilead, and half of the land of the Ammonites that ran from Aroer near Rabbah 26 and Heshbon to Ramath-mizpeh and Betonim, and from Mahanaim to the boundary of Debir, 27 and Beth-haram, Beth-nimrah, Succoth, and Zaphon in the valley, and the rest of the kingdom of Sihon, the king of Heshbon, with the boundary running along the banks of the Jordan up to the shores of the Sea of Chinnereth (on the eastern side of the Jordan). 28 These cities and towns were the inheritance of the Gadites, divided according to its clans.

29 The Half-tribe of Manasseh. This is what Moses gave to one of the halves of the tribe of Manasseh, that is, the tribe of half of the descendants of Manasseh, divided according to its clans. 30 The territory started in Mahanaim and included all of Bashan, the entire territory of Og, the king of Bashan, and all of the town in Jair in Bashan, sixty towns in all, 31 as well as half of Gilead, and Ashtaroth and Edrei, the royal cities of Og in Bashan. This was for the descendants of Machir, the son of Manasseh, for one-half of the descendants of the Machirites, divided according to its clans.

32 These are the inheritances that Moses distributed in the plains of Moab on the other side of the Jordan, to the east of Jericho. 33 But Moses did not give an inheritance to the tribe of Levi. The Lord, the God of Israel, was their inheritance, just as he had told them.

Footnotes

  1. Joshua 13:1 In the way in which they were distributed throughout Palestine and in their life there (chs. 13–22), the tribes saw the fulfillment of a promise and plan of God.
    The special situation of the tribe of Levi is noteworthy. The editor several times emphasizes the point that this tribe is dedicated to the conduct of worship: the Lord is their portion.
  2. Joshua 13:1 Although Joshua was well over 80 years of age, the Lord continued to use him to fulfill his plan begun by Moses 40 years before.
  3. Joshua 13:13 Because the Israelites did not drive out the people in the lands they occupied, they will continue to wage battle against their pagan customs and culture.

13 Now Joshua was old and stricken in years; and the Lord said unto him, Thou art old and stricken in years, and there remaineth yet very much land to be possessed.

This is the land that yet remaineth: all the borders of the Philistines, and all Geshuri,

From Sihor, which is before Egypt, even unto the borders of Ekron northward, which is counted to the Canaanite: five lords of the Philistines; the Gazathites, and the Ashdothites, the Eshkalonites, the Gittites, and the Ekronites; also the Avites:

From the south, all the land of the Canaanites, and Mearah that is beside the Sidonians unto Aphek, to the borders of the Amorites:

And the land of the Giblites, and all Lebanon, toward the sunrising, from Baalgad under mount Hermon unto the entering into Hamath.

All the inhabitants of the hill country from Lebanon unto Misrephothmaim, and all the Sidonians, them will I drive out from before the children of Israel: only divide thou it by lot unto the Israelites for an inheritance, as I have commanded thee.

Now therefore divide this land for an inheritance unto the nine tribes, and the half tribe of Manasseh,

With whom the Reubenites and the Gadites have received their inheritance, which Moses gave them, beyond Jordan eastward, even as Moses the servant of the Lord gave them;

From Aroer, that is upon the bank of the river Arnon, and the city that is in the midst of the river, and all the plain of Medeba unto Dibon;

10 And all the cities of Sihon king of the Amorites, which reigned in Heshbon, unto the border of the children of Ammon;

11 And Gilead, and the border of the Geshurites and Maachathites, and all mount Hermon, and all Bashan unto Salcah;

12 All the kingdom of Og in Bashan, which reigned in Ashtaroth and in Edrei, who remained of the remnant of the giants: for these did Moses smite, and cast them out.

13 Nevertheless the children of Israel expelled not the Geshurites, nor the Maachathites: but the Geshurites and the Maachathites dwell among the Israelites until this day.

14 Only unto the tribes of Levi he gave none inheritance; the sacrifices of the Lord God of Israel made by fire are their inheritance, as he said unto them.

15 And Moses gave unto the tribe of the children of Reuben inheritance according to their families.

16 And their coast was from Aroer, that is on the bank of the river Arnon, and the city that is in the midst of the river, and all the plain by Medeba;

17 Heshbon, and all her cities that are in the plain; Dibon, and Bamothbaal, and Bethbaalmeon,

18 And Jahaza, and Kedemoth, and Mephaath,

19 And Kirjathaim, and Sibmah, and Zarethshahar in the mount of the valley,

20 And Bethpeor, and Ashdothpisgah, and Bethjeshimoth,

21 And all the cities of the plain, and all the kingdom of Sihon king of the Amorites, which reigned in Heshbon, whom Moses smote with the princes of Midian, Evi, and Rekem, and Zur, and Hur, and Reba, which were dukes of Sihon, dwelling in the country.

22 Balaam also the son of Beor, the soothsayer, did the children of Israel slay with the sword among them that were slain by them.

23 And the border of the children of Reuben was Jordan, and the border thereof. This was the inheritance of the children of Reuben after their families, the cities and the villages thereof.

24 And Moses gave inheritance unto the tribe of Gad, even unto the children of Gad according to their families.

25 And their coast was Jazer, and all the cities of Gilead, and half the land of the children of Ammon, unto Aroer that is before Rabbah;

26 And from Heshbon unto Ramathmizpeh, and Betonim; and from Mahanaim unto the border of Debir;

27 And in the valley, Betharam, and Bethnimrah, and Succoth, and Zaphon, the rest of the kingdom of Sihon king of Heshbon, Jordan and his border, even unto the edge of the sea of Chinnereth on the other side Jordan eastward.

28 This is the inheritance of the children of Gad after their families, the cities, and their villages.

29 And Moses gave inheritance unto the half tribe of Manasseh: and this was the possession of the half tribe of the children of Manasseh by their families.

30 And their coast was from Mahanaim, all Bashan, all the kingdom of Og king of Bashan, and all the towns of Jair, which are in Bashan, threescore cities:

31 And half Gilead, and Ashtaroth, and Edrei, cities of the kingdom of Og in Bashan, were pertaining unto the children of Machir the son of Manasseh, even to the one half of the children of Machir by their families.

32 These are the countries which Moses did distribute for inheritance in the plains of Moab, on the other side Jordan, by Jericho, eastward.

33 But unto the tribe of Levi Moses gave not any inheritance: the Lord God of Israel was their inheritance, as he said unto them.
