Joshua 13 📜 📕 ↷
Lands Yet Unconquered
1 JOSUE was old, and striken in age, and our Lord said to him: Thou art old, and of a great age, and there is a very large country left, which is not yet divided by lot:📜💬📚
2 to wit, all Galilee, Philisthiim, and all Gessuri.📜💬📚
3 From the troubled river that watereth AEgypt, unto the borders of Accaron against the North: the Land of Chanaan, which is divided unto five lords of the Philisthiims, the Gazites, the Azotians, the Ascalonites, the Gethites, and the Accaronites.📜💬📚
4 But on the South side are the Heveites, all the Land of Chanaan, and Maara of the Sidonians as far as Apheca, and the borders of the Amorrhite,📜💬📚
5 and his confines. The country also of Libanus against the East from Baalgad under mount Hermon, till thou enter into Emath.📜💬📚
6 Of all that dwell in the mountain from Libanus, unto the Waters Maserephoth, and all the Sidonians. I am he that will destroy them from the face of the children of Israel. Let it come therefore into a portion of the inheritance of Israel, as I have commanded thee.📜💬📚
7 And now divide the Land in possession to the nine tribes, and to the half tribe of Manasses,📜💬📚
Inheritance East of the Jordan
8 with the which Ruben & Gad have possessed the Land, which Moyses the servant of our Lord delivered to them beyond the streams of Jordan, on the east side.📜💬📚
9 From Aroer, which is situate on the bank of the torrent Arnon, and in the midst of the valley, and all the champion of Medaba, as far as Dibon:📜💬📚
10 and all the cities of Cehon, the king of the Amorrhite, which reigned in Hesebon, unto the borders of the children of Ammon.📜💬📚
11 And Galaad, and the border of Gessuri and Machati, and all mount Hermon, and all Basan, as far as Salecha,📜💬📚
12 all the Kingdom of Og in Basan, which reigned in Astaroth and Edrai, he was of the relics of the Raphaims: and Moyses struck, and destroyed them.📜💬📚
13 And the children of Israel would not destroy Gessuri and Machati: and they have dwelt in the midst of Israel until this present day.📜💬📚
14 But to the tribe of Levi he gave no possession: but the sacrifices and victims of our Lord the God of Israel, that is his inheritance, as he spake to him.📜💬📚
Reuben's Inheritance
15 Moyses therefore gave possession to the children of Ruben according to their kindreds.📜💬📚
16 And their border was from Aroer, which is situate on the bank of the torrent Arnon, and in the midst of the valley of the same torrent: all the plain, that leadeth to Medaba,📜💬📚
17 and Hesebon, and all their villages, which are in the champion. Dibon also, and Bamothbaal, and the town Baalmaon,📜💬📚
18 and Jassa, and Cedimoth, and Mephaath,📜💬📚
19 and Cariathaim, and Sabama, and Sarathasar in the mountain of the Valley.📜💬📚
20 Bethphogor and Asedoth, Phasga and Bethiesimoth,📜💬📚
21 and all the champion cities, and all the Kingdoms of Sehon the king of the Amorrhite, that reigned in Hesebon, whom Moyses struck with the Princes of Madian: the Heveite, and Recem, and Sur, and Hur, and Rebe, Dukes of Sehon inhabitants of the Land.📜💬📚
22 And Balaam the son of Beor the soothsayer, did the children of Israel kill by the sword, with the rest that were slain.📜💬📚
23 And the river of Jordan was made the border of the children of Ruben. This is the possession of the Rubenites by their kindreds of cities and villages.📜💬📚
Gad's Inheritance
24 And Moyses gave to the tribe of Gad & to his children possession by their kindreds, the division whereof is this:📜💬📚
25 The border of Jaser, and all the cities of Galaad, and the half part of the Land of the children of Ammon: as far as Aroer, which is against Rabba:📜💬📚
26 and from Hesebon unto Ramoth, Masphe and Betonim: and from Manaim unto the borders of Dabir.📜💬📚
27 In the valley also Bethhara, and Bethnemra, and Socoth, and Saphon the other part of the Kingdom of Sehon the king of Hesebon: the end of this also is Jordan, unto the uttermost part of the sea Cenereth beyond Jordan on the east side.📜💬📚
28 This is the possession of the children of Gad by their families, their cities, and villages.📜💬📚
Manasseh's Eastern Inheritance
29 He gave also to the half tribe of Manasses and their children possession according to their kindreds,📜💬📚
30 the beginning whereof is this: From Manaim all Basan, and all the Kingdoms of Og the king of Basan, and all the villages of Jair, which are in Basan, threescore towns.📜💬📚
31 And the half part of Galaad, and Astaroth, and Edrai, cities of the Kingdom of Og in Basan: to the children of Machir, the son of Manasses, to the half part of the children of Machir according to their kindreds.📜💬📚
32 This possession divided Moyses in the champion countries of Moab, beyond Jordan, against Jericho on the East side.📜💬📚
33 But to the tribe of Levi he gave no possession: because our Lord the God of Israel himself is their possession, as he spake to them.📜💬📚
