1[an error occurred while processing this directive]1When Joshua was very old, the LORD told him, "You are very old, and a great deal of land remains to be conquered.
2[an error occurred while processing this directive]2This is the land that remains: all the territory of the Philistines and all the Geshurites,
3[an error occurred while processing this directive]3from the Shihor River east of Egypt northward to the territory of Ekron (it is regarded as Canaanite territory), including the area belonging to the five Philistine lords who ruled in Gaza, Ashdod, Ashkelon, Gath, and Ekron, as well as Avvite land
4[an error occurred while processing this directive]4to the south; all the Canaanite territory, from Arah in the region of Sidon to Aphek, as far as Amorite territory;
5[an error occurred while processing this directive]5the territory of Byblos and all Lebanon to the east, from Baal Gad below Mount Hermon to Lebo Hamath.
6[an error occurred while processing this directive]6I will drive out before the Israelites all who live in the hill country from Lebanon to Misrephoth Maim, all the Sidonians; you be sure to parcel it out to Israel as I instructed you."
7[an error occurred while processing this directive]7Now, divide up this land among the nine tribes and the half-tribe of Manasseh."
8[an error occurred while processing this directive]8The other half of Manasseh, Reuben, and Gad received their allotted tribal lands beyond the Jordan, just as Moses, the LORD's servant, had assigned them.
9[an error occurred while processing this directive]9Their territory started from Aroer (on the edge of the Arnon Valley), included the city in the middle of the valley, the whole plain of Medeba as far as Dibon,
10[an error occurred while processing this directive]10and all the cities of King Sihon of the Amorites who ruled in Heshbon, and ended at the Ammonite border.
11[an error occurred while processing this directive]11Their territory also included Gilead, Geshurite and Maacathite territory, all Mount Hermon, and all Bashan to Salecah--
12[an error occurred while processing this directive]12the whole kingdom of Og in Bashan, who ruled in Ashtaroth and Edrei. (He was one of the few remaining Rephaites.) Moses defeated them and took their lands.
13[an error occurred while processing this directive]13But the Israelites did not conquer the Geshurites and Maacathites; Geshur and Maacah live among Israel to this very day.
14[an error occurred while processing this directive]14However, Moses did not assign land as an inheritance to the Levites; their inheritance is the sacrificial offerings made to the LORD God of Israel, as he instructed them.
15[an error occurred while processing this directive]15Moses assigned land to the tribe of Reuben by its clans.
16[an error occurred while processing this directive]16Their territory started at Aroer (on the edge of the Arnon Valley) and included the city in the middle of the valley, the whole plain of Medeba,
17[an error occurred while processing this directive]17Heshbon and all its surrounding cities on the plain, including Dibon, Bamoth Baal, Beth Baal Meon,
18[an error occurred while processing this directive]18Jahaz, Kedemoth, Mephaath,
19[an error occurred while processing this directive]19Kiriathaim, Sibmah, Zereth Shahar on the hill in the valley,
20[an error occurred while processing this directive]20Beth Peor, the slopes of Pisgah, and Beth Jeshimoth.
21[an error occurred while processing this directive]21It encompassed all the cities of the plain and the whole realm of King Sihon of the Amorites who ruled in Heshbon. Moses defeated him and the Midianite leaders Evi, Rekem, Zur, Hur, and Reba (they were subjects of Sihon and lived in his territory).
22[an error occurred while processing this directive]22The Israelites killed Balaam son of Beor, the omen reader, along with the others.
23[an error occurred while processing this directive]23The border of the tribe of Reuben was the Jordan. The land allotted to the tribe of Reuben by its clans included these cities and their towns.
24[an error occurred while processing this directive]24Moses assigned land to the tribe of Gad by its clans.
25[an error occurred while processing this directive]25Their territory included Jazer, all the cities of Gilead, and half of Ammonite territory as far as Aroer near Rabbah.
26[an error occurred while processing this directive]26Their territory ran from Heshbon to Ramath Mizpah and Betonim, and from Mahanaim to the territory of Debir.
27[an error occurred while processing this directive]27It included the valley of Beth Haram, Beth Nimrah, Succoth, and Zaphon, and the rest of the realm of King Sihon of Heshbon, the area east of the Jordan to the end of the Sea of Kinnereth.
28[an error occurred while processing this directive]28The land allotted to the tribe of Gad by its clans included these cities and their towns.
29[an error occurred while processing this directive]29Moses assigned land to the half-tribe of Manasseh by its clans.
30[an error occurred while processing this directive]30Their territory started at Mahanaim and encompassed all Bashan, the whole realm of King Og of Bashan, including all sixty cities in Havvoth Jair in Bashan.
31[an error occurred while processing this directive]31Half of Gilead, Ashtaroth, and Edrei, cities in the kingdom of Og in Bashan, were assigned to the descendants of Makir son of Manasseh, to half the descendants of Makir by their clans.
32[an error occurred while processing this directive]32These are the land assignments made by Moses on the plains of Moab east of the Jordan River opposite Jericho.
33[an error occurred while processing this directive]33However, Moses did not assign land as an inheritance to the Levites; their inheritance is the LORD God of Israel, as he instructed them.
