Josvas 13
Det Norsk Bibelselskap 1930
13 Da Josva var blitt gammel og kommet langt ut i årene, sa Herren til ham: Nu er du blitt gammel og kommet langt ut i årene, men ennu står det en meget stor del av landet igjen som skal inntas.
2 Dette er det land som står igjen: Alle filistrenes bygder og hele gesuritter-landet;
3 for alt som ligger mellem Sihor østenfor Egypten og Ekrons landemerke mot nord, skal regnes til kana'anittene, både de fem filisterfyrster i Gasa og Asdod og Askalon og Gat og Ekron, og avittene.
4 Fremdeles i syd hele kana'anittenes land, og Meara, som hører sidonierne til, like til Afek, til amorittenes landemerke,
5 og giblittenes land og hele Libanon mot øst, fra Ba'al-Gad ved foten av Hermon-fjellet like til Hamat-veien,
6 alle de som bor i fjellbygdene, fra Libanon til Misrefot-Ma'im, alle sidonierne. Jeg vil selv drive dem bort for Israels barn; men del du landet ut ved loddkasting til arv for Israel, således som jeg har befalt dig!
7 Så skift nu dette land ut til arv for de ni stammer og den halve del av Manasse stamme!
8 Sammen med Manasse[a] hadde rubenittene og gadittene fått sin arv, som Moses gav dem på østsiden av Jordan, således som Moses, Herrens tjener, gav dem den:
9 fra Aroer, som ligger ved bredden av Arnon-åen, og fra den by som ligger midt i dalen, og hele sletten ved Medba like til Dibon,
10 og alle de byer som tilhørte Sihon, amoritter-kongen, som regjerte i Hesbon, like til Ammons barns landemerke,
11 og Gilead og gesurittenes og ma'akatittenes land og hele Hermonfjellet og hele Basan like til Salka -
12 hele det rike som tilhørte Og i Basan, han som regjerte i Astarot og Edre'i; han var den siste som var tilbake av refa'ittene, og Moses slo dem og drev dem bort.
13 Men Israels barn drev ikke bort gesurittene og ma'akatittene, og Gesur og Ma'akat er blitt boende blandt Israel til denne dag.
14 Bare Levi stamme gav han ingen arv; Herrens, Israels Guds ildoffer er hans arv, således som han hadde sagt til ham.
15 Først gav Moses Rubens barns stamme arv efter deres ætter.
16 De fikk landet fra Aroer, som ligger ved bredden av Arnon-åen, og fra den by som ligger midt i dalen, og hele sletten ved Medba,
17 Hesbon og alle tilhørende byer, som ligger på sletten: Dibon og Bamot-Ba'al og Bet-Ba'al-Meon
18 og Jahsa og Kedemot og Mefa'at
19 og Kirjata'im og Sibma og Seret-Hassahar på fjellet i dalen
20 og Bet-Peor og Pisga-liene og Bet-Hajesimot
21 og alle byene på sletten og hele det rike som tilhørte Sihon, amoritter-kongen, som regjerte i Hesbon - det var ham Moses slo på samme tid som han slo midianitterfyrstene Evi og Rekem og Sur og Hur og Reba, som var Sihons underkonger og bodde der i landet.
22 Også Bileam, Beors sønn, spåmannen, slo Israels barn ihjel med sverdet sammen med de andre som de slo ihjel.
23 Og Rubens barns grense var Jordan og landet langsmed den. Dette var Rubens barns arv efter deres ætter, byene med tilhørende landsbyer.
24 Så gav Moses Gads stamme - Gads barn - arv efter deres ætter.
25 Det land de fikk, var Jaser og alle byene i Gilead og halvdelen av Ammons barns land helt til Aroer, som ligger midt imot Rabba,
26 fra Hesbon til Ramat-Hammispe og Betonim og fra Mahana'im til Debirs landemerke,
27 og i dalen fikk de Bet-Haram og Bet-Nimra og Sukkot og Safon, resten av det rike som hadde tilhørt Sihon, kongen i Hesbon, med Jordan og landet langsmed den inntil enden av Kinneret-sjøen, på østsiden av Jordan.
28 Dette var Gads barns arv efter deres ætter, byene med tilhørende landsbyer.
29 Så gav Moses den halve Manasse stamme arv, så at de og - den ene halvdel av Manasse barns stamme - fikk arv efter sine ætter.
30 Det land de fikk, strakte sig fra Mahana'im over hele Basan - hele det rike som hadde tilhørt Og, kongen i Basan - både alle Ja'irs teltbyer, som ligger i Basan, seksti byer,
31 og halvdelen av Gilead, og Astarot og Edre'i, byer i det rike som hadde tilhørt Og i Basan; alt dette fikk Manasses sønn Makirs barn - den ene halvdel av Makirs barn - efter sine ætter.
32 Dette var det som Moses delte ut til arv på Moabs ødemarker på østsiden av Jordan, midt imot Jeriko.
33 Men til Levi stamme gav Moses ingen arv; Herren, Israels Gud, er deres arv, således som han hadde sagt til dem.

Joshua 13
New King James Version
Remaining Land to Be Conquered
13 Now Joshua (A)was old, advanced in years. And the Lord said to him: “You are old, advanced in years, and there remains very much land yet to be possessed. 2 (B)This is the land that yet remains: (C)all the territory of the Philistines and all (D)that of the Geshurites, 3 (E)from Sihor, which is east of Egypt, as far as the border of Ekron northward (which is counted as Canaanite); the (F)five lords of the Philistines—the Gazites, the Ashdodites, the Ashkelonites, the Gittites, and the Ekronites; also (G)the Avites; 4 from the south, all the land of the Canaanites, and Mearah that belongs to the Sidonians (H)as far as Aphek, to the border of (I)the Amorites; 5 the land of (J)the [a]Gebalites, and all Lebanon, toward the sunrise, (K)from Baal Gad below Mount Hermon as far as the entrance to Hamath; 6 all the inhabitants of the mountains from Lebanon as far as (L)the [b]Brook Misrephoth, and all the Sidonians—them (M)I will drive out from before the children of Israel; only (N)divide[c] it by lot to Israel as an inheritance, as I have commanded you. 7 Now therefore, divide this land as an inheritance to the nine tribes and half the tribe of Manasseh.”
The Land Divided East of the Jordan
8 With the other half-tribe the Reubenites and the Gadites received their inheritance, (O)which Moses had given them, (P)beyond the Jordan eastward, as Moses the servant of the Lord had given them: 9 from Aroer which is on the bank of the River Arnon, and the town that is in the midst of the ravine, (Q)and all the plain of Medeba as far as Dibon; 10 (R)all the cities of Sihon king of the Amorites, who reigned in Heshbon, as far as the border of the children of Ammon; 11 (S)Gilead, and the border of the Geshurites and Maachathites, all Mount Hermon, and all Bashan as far as Salcah; 12 all the kingdom of Og in Bashan, who reigned in Ashtaroth and Edrei, who remained of (T)the remnant of the giants; (U)for Moses had [d]defeated and [e]cast out these.
13 Nevertheless the children of Israel (V)did not drive out the Geshurites or the Maachathites, but the Geshurites and the Maachathites dwell among the Israelites until this day.
14 (W)Only to the tribe of Levi he had given [f]no inheritance; the sacrifices of the Lord God of Israel made by fire are their inheritance, (X)as He said to them.
The Land of Reuben
15 (Y)And Moses had given to the tribe of the children of Reuben an inheritance according to their families. 16 Their territory was (Z)from Aroer, which is on the bank of the River Arnon, (AA)and the city that is in the midst of the ravine, (AB)and all the plain by Medeba; 17 (AC)Heshbon and all its cities that are in the plain: Dibon, Bamoth Baal, Beth Baal Meon, 18 (AD)Jahaza, Kedemoth, Mephaath, 19 (AE)Kirjathaim, (AF)Sibmah, Zereth Shahar on the mountain of the valley, 20 Beth Peor, (AG)the slopes of Pisgah, and Beth Jeshimoth— 21 (AH)all the cities of the plain and all the kingdom of Sihon king of the Amorites, who reigned in Heshbon, (AI)whom Moses had struck (AJ)with the princes of Midian: Evi, Rekem, Zur, Hur, and Reba, who were princes of Sihon dwelling in the country. 22 The children of Israel also killed with the sword (AK)Balaam the son of Beor, the [g]soothsayer, among those who were killed by them. 23 And the border of the children of Reuben was the bank of the Jordan. This was the inheritance of the children of Reuben according to their families, the cities and their villages.
The Land of Gad
24 (AL)Moses also had given an inheritance to the tribe of Gad, to the children of Gad according to their families. 25 (AM)Their territory was Jazer, and all the cities of Gilead, (AN)and half the land of the Ammonites as far as Aroer, which is before (AO)Rabbah, 26 and from Heshbon to Ramath Mizpah and Betonim, and from Mahanaim to the border of Debir, 27 and in the valley (AP)Beth Haram, Beth Nimrah, (AQ)Succoth, and Zaphon, the rest of the kingdom of Sihon king of Heshbon, with the Jordan as its border, as far as the edge (AR)of the [h]Sea of Chinnereth, on the other side of the Jordan eastward. 28 This is the inheritance of the children of Gad according to their families, the cities and their villages.
Half the Tribe of Manasseh (East)
29 (AS)Moses also had given an inheritance to half the tribe of Manasseh; it was for half the tribe of the children of Manasseh according to their families: 30 Their territory was from Mahanaim, all Bashan, all the kingdom of Og king of Bashan, and (AT)all the towns of Jair which are in Bashan, sixty cities; 31 half of Gilead, and (AU)Ashtaroth and Edrei, cities of the kingdom of Og in Bashan, were for the (AV)children of Machir the son of Manasseh, for half of the children of Machir according to their families.
32 These are the areas which Moses had [i]distributed as an inheritance in the plains of Moab on the other side of the Jordan, by Jericho eastward. 33 (AW)But to the tribe of Levi Moses had given no inheritance; the Lord God of Israel was their inheritance, (AX)as He had said to them.

Joshua 13
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.
8 For with half thereof the Reubenites and the Gadites have received their inheritance, (A)which Moses gave them beyond Jordan Eastward, even as Moses the servant of the Lord had given them.
9 From Aroer that is on the brink of the river Arnon, and from the city that is in the midst of the [j]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 borders of the children of Ammon,
11 And Gilead, and the borders of the Geshurites and of the Maachathites, and all mount Hermon, with all Bashan unto Salcah:
12 All the kingdom of Og in Bashan, which reigned in Ashtaroth and in Edrei: (who remained of (B)the rest of the giants) for these did Moses smite, and cast them out:
13 But the children of Israel [k]expelled not the Geshurites nor the Maachathites: but the Geshurites and the Maachathites dwell among the Israelites even unto this day.
14 Only unto the tribe of Levi he gave none inheritance, but the sacrifices of the Lord God of Israel are [l]his inheritance, as he said unto him.
15 ¶ Moses then 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 brink of the river Arnon, and from the city that is in the midst of the river, and all the plain which is by Medeba:
17 Heshbon with all the cities thereof, that are in the plain: Dibon and [m]Bamoth Baal, and Beth Baal Meon:
18 And Jahaza, and Kedemoth, and Mephaath:
19 Kirjathaim also, and Sibmah, and Zereth Shahar in the mount of [n]Emek:
20 And Beth Peor, and (C)Ashdoth Pisgah, and Beth Jeshimoth:
21 And all the cities of the plain, and all the kingdom of Sihon king of the Amorites, which reigned in Heshbon, whom Moses (D)smote with the Princes of Midian, Evi and Rekem, and Zur, and Hur, and Reba, the dukes of Sihon, dwelling in the country.
22 And [o]Balaam the son of Beor the soothsayer did the children of Israel slay with the sword, among them that were slain.
23 And the border of the children of Reuben was Jordan with the coasts. This was the inheritance of the children of Reuben according to their families, with the cities and their villages.
24 ¶ Also Moses gave inheritance unto the tribe of Gad, even unto the children of Gad according to their families.
25 And their coasts were Jazer, and all the cities of Gilead, and half the land of the children of Ammon unto Aroer, which is before Rabbah:
26 And from Heshbon unto Ramath, Mizpah, and Betonim: and from Mahanaim unto the borders of Debir:
27 And in the valley of Beth Haram, and Beth Nimrah, and Succoth, and Zaphon, the rest of the kingdom of Sihon king of Heshbon unto Jordan and the borders even unto the sea coast of Chinnereth, [p]beyond Jordan Eastward.
28 This is the inheritance of the children of Gad, after their families, with the cities and their villages.
29 ¶ Also Moses gave inheritance unto the half tribe of Manasseh: and this belonged to the half tribe of the children of Manasseh according to their families.
30 And their border was from Mahanaim, even all Bashan, to wit, 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, (E)were given unto the [q]children of Machir the son of Manasseh to half of the children of Machir after their families.
32 These are the heritages, which Moses did distribute in the plain of Moab beyond Jordan toward Jericho Eastward.
33 (F)But unto the tribe of Levi Moses gave none inheritance: for the Lord God of Israel is their inheritance, (G)as he said unto them.
