13 ¶ Lè sa a, Jozye t'ap antre nan laj, li te fin granmoun. Seyè a di l' konsa: -Koulye a, ou fin granmoun, ou antre nan laj serye. Men, gen yon bon pòsyon nan peyi a toujou ki rete pou nou pran.

Rete nou tout teritwa moun Filisti yo ak tout peyi moun Jechou yo,

ki vle di depi larivyè Chikò k'ap koule sou fwontyè lès peyi Lejip la, moute nan nò, jouk sou fwontyè Ekwon an. Tout teritwa sa a te pase pou peyi moun Kanaran yo. Te gen senk chèf pami moun Filisti yo: yonn te rete lavil Gaza, yon lòt te rete lavil Asdòd, yon lòt lavil Askalon, yon lòt lavil Gat, yon lòt lavil Ekwon. Te rete peyi moun Avit yo tou,

sou bò sid la, tout peyi moun Kanaran yo, depi lavil Meara ki pou moun Sidon yo jouk Afeka, sou fwontyè peyi Amori a.

Te rete ankò tè moun Jebal yo ak tout peyi Liban sou bò solèy leve, depi Baal-Gad nan pye mòn Emon jouk kote Pas Amat la konmanse a.

Tout moun ki rete nan mòn yo, depi peyi Liban jouk lavil Misrefòt Mayim, tout moun Sidon yo, se mwen menm ki pral mete yo deyò pou fè plas pou pèp Izrayèl la. Men, se ou menm ki pral separe tè a bay chak moun pèp Izrayèl yo pòsyon pa yo, jan mwen te ba ou lòd la.

¶ Lè a rive koulye a pou nou separe peyi a bay nèf lòt branch fanmi yo ak lòt mwatye nan branch fanmi Manase a pòsyon pa yo.

Branch fanmi Woubenn lan ak branch fanmi Gad la ansanm ak mwatye nan branch fanmi Manase a te deja resevwa pòsyon tè pa yo lòt bò larivyè Jouden sou solèy leve. Se Moyiz, sèvitè Seyè a, ki te ba yo li.

Peyi yo a te soti depi lavil Awoyè ki sou bò gwo ravin Anon an ak lavil ki nan mitan ravin lan, li pran tout plenn Medeba a rive lavil Dibon.

10 Li pran tout lavil ki te pou Siyon, wa moun Amori yo, ki te rete lavil Esbon pandan tout rèy li, li rive jouk sou fwontyè moun Amon yo.

11 Li pran tout peyi Galarad la, tout teritwa moun Jechou yo ak moun Maaka yo ansanm ak tout mòn Emon ak mòn Bachan jouk Salka.

12 Nan peyi Bazan an, yo pran tout zòn kote wa Og t'ap gouvènen an. Wa Og sa a te rete lavil Astawòt ak lavil Edreyi lè sa a. Se te dènye moun nan ras refayim yo ki te vivan. Moyiz te goumen ak pèp sa yo, li bat yo byen bat, li pran tout peyi a nan men de wa yo.

13 Men, pèp Izrayèl la pa t' mete moun Jechou yo ak moun Maaka yo deyò. Se konsa, jouk jòdi a de pèp sa yo ap viv nan mitan pèp Izrayèl la toujou.

14 Sèl branch fanmi Levi a pa t' resevwa ankenn pòsyon tè ki rele l' pa l' nan pataj la, paske Seyè a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la, te kite tou sa yo ofri ba li pou yo, jan li te di l' la.

15 Moyiz te separe tè branch fanmi Woubenn lan, li bay chak fanmi pòsyon pa yo.

16 Se konsa, pòsyon pa yo a te konmanse depi lavil Awoyè, ki sou bò ravin Anon an, li pran lavil ki nan mitan ravin lan, tout platon Medeba a,

17 lavil Esbon ak tout lòt lavil ki te sou platon an, ki vle di Dibon, Bamòt, Baal, Bèt-Baal Meyon,

18 Jaza, Kedemòt, Mefrat,

19 Kiryatayim, Libna ak Zerèt acha Jechimòt, sou ti bit ki nan fon an,

20 Bèt-Peyò, sou pant Pizga a, Bèt ajechimòt,

21 tout lavil ki sou platon an, tout peyi wa Siyon ki t'ap gouvènen moun Amori yo nan lavil Esbon. Se Moyiz ki te kraze l' ansanm avèk chèf peyi Madyan yo: Evi, Rekèm, Zou, Our, Reba. Tout chèf sa yo t'ap viv nan peyi a sou lòd wa Siyon.

22 Pami moun moun pèp Izrayèl yo te touye yo, te gen pwofèt yo te rele Balaram, pitit Beyò a.

23 Pòsyon tè moun branch fanmi Woubenn yo te rive jouk larivyè Jouden. Se tout lavil ak tout ti bouk sa yo yo te bay moun branch fanmi Woubenn yo. Yo te separe bay chak fanmi pòsyon pa yo, dapre kantite fanmi yo te genyen.

24 Moyiz te separe tè branch fanmi Gad la, li bay chak fanmi pòsyon pa yo.

25 Se konsa, pòsyon pa yo a te pran tout peyi Jazè a, tout lavil ki nan peyi Galarad la, mwatye nan peyi moun Amon yo, rive sou lavil Awoyè sou bò solèy leve lavil Raba.

26 Li te pran depi Esbon jouk Ramat Mizpe ak Betonim, depi Manayim jouk fwontyè peyi Lodeba.

27 Nan fon an yo te gen lavil sa yo: Bèt aram, Bèt-Nimra, Soukòt ak Zafon, rès peyi wa Siyon ki te rete Esbon an. Larivyè Jouden te sèvi yo fwontyè rive letan Galile nan nò. Tout pòsyon pa yo a te lòt bò solèy leve.

28 Se tout lavil ak tout ti bouk sa yo yo te bay moun branch fanmi Gad yo. Yo te separe bay chak fanmi pòsyon pa yo, dapre kantite fanmi yo te genyen.

29 Moyiz te separe tè ki pou mwatye nan branch fanmi Manase a, li bay chak fanmi pòsyon pa yo.

30 Se konsa, pòsyon pa yo a te konmanse depi Manayim, li pran tout peyi Bazan an, tout peyi wa Og t'ap gouvènen an, ak swasant bouk ki te pou Jayi nan peyi Bazan an,

31 mwatye nan peyi Galarad la ansanm ak Astawòt ak Edreyi, lavil ki te pou wa Og nan peyi Bazan an. Se tout zòn sa yo ki vin pou mwatye nan branch fanmi Maki, pitit gason Manase a. Yo bay chak fanmi pòsyon pa yo.

32 Se konsa Moyiz te separe tè ki lòt bò larivyè Jouden, anfas lavil Jeriko, sou bò solèy leve, lè li te nan plenn Moab yo.

33 Men, Moyiz pa t' bay moun branch fanmi Levi yo ankenn pòsyon nan peyi a pou rele yo pa yo. Li te di yo sèl byen yo se Seyè a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la.

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.

“This is the land that remains: all the regions of the Philistines(B) and Geshurites,(C) 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) 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) the area of Byblos;(L) and all Lebanon(M) to the east, from Baal Gad below Mount Hermon(N) to Lebo Hamath.(O)

“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) 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

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)

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)
