1When Joshua was an old man, the LORD said to him, “You are growing old, and much land remains to be conquered.

1Joshua was now old, getting on in years, and the LORD said to him, "You have become old, getting on in years, but a great deal of the land remains to be possessed.

2This is the territory that remains: all the regions of the Philistines and the Geshurites,

2This is the land that remains: All the districts of the Philistines and the Geshurites:

3and the larger territory of the Canaanites, extending from the stream of Shihor on the border of Egypt, northward to the boundary of Ekron. It includes the territory of the five Philistine rulers of Gaza, Ashdod, Ashkelon, Gath, and Ekron. The land of the Avvites

3from the Shihor east of Egypt to the border of Ekron on the north (considered to be Canaanite territory)--the five Philistine rulers of Gaza, Ashdod, Ashkelon, Gath, and Ekron, as well as the Avvites

4in the south also remains to be conquered. In the north, the following area has not yet been conquered: all the land of the Canaanites, including Mearah (which belongs to the Sidonians), stretching northward to Aphek on the border of the Amorites;

4in the south; all the land of the Canaanites: from Arah of the Sidonians to Aphek and as far as the border of the Amorites;

5the land of the Gebalites and all of the Lebanon mountain area to the east, from Baal-gad below Mount Hermon to Lebo-hamath;

5the land of the Gebalites; and all Lebanon east from Baal-gad below Mount Hermon to the entrance of Hamath--

6and all the hill country from Lebanon to Misrephoth-maim, including all the land of the Sidonians. “I myself will drive these people out of the land ahead of the Israelites. So be sure to give this land to Israel as a special possession, just as I have commanded you.

6all the inhabitants of the hill country from Lebanon to Misrephoth-maim, all the Sidonians. I will drive them out before the Israelites, only distribute the land as an inheritance for Israel, as I have commanded you.

7Include all this territory as Israel’s possession when you divide this land among the nine tribes and the half-tribe of Manasseh.” The Land Divided East of the Jordan

7Therefore, divide this land as an inheritance to the nine tribes and half the tribe of Manasseh."

8Half the tribe of Manasseh and the tribes of Reuben and Gad had already received their grants of land on the east side of the Jordan, for Moses, the servant of the LORD, had previously assigned this land to them.

8With the other half of the tribe, the Reubenites and Gadites had received the inheritance Moses gave them beyond the Jordan to the east, just as Moses the LORD's servant had given them:

9Their territory extended from Aroer on the edge of the Arnon Gorge (including the town in the middle of the gorge) to the plain beyond Medeba, as far as Dibon.

9From Aroer on the rim of the Arnon Valley, along with the city in the middle of the valley, all the Medeba plateau as far as Dibon,

10It also included all the towns of King Sihon of the Amorites, who had reigned in Heshbon, and extended as far as the borders of Ammon.

10and all the cities of Sihon king of the Amorites, who reigned in Heshbon, to the border of the Ammonites;

11It included Gilead, the territory of the kingdoms of Geshur and Maacah, all of Mount Hermon, all of Bashan as far as Salecah,

11also Gilead and the territory of the Geshurites and Maacathites, all Mount Hermon, and all Bashan to Salecah--

12and all the territory of King Og of Bashan, who had reigned in Ashtaroth and Edrei. King Og was the last of the Rephaites, for Moses had attacked them and driven them out.

12the whole kingdom of Og in Bashan, who reigned in Ashtaroth and Edrei; he was one of the remaining Rephaim. Moses struck them down and drove them out,

13But the Israelites failed to drive out the people of Geshur and Maacah, so they continue to live among the Israelites to this day. An Allotment for the Tribe of Levi

13but the Israelites did not drive out the Geshurites and Maacathites. So Geshur and Maacath live in Israel to this day.

14Moses did not assign any allotment of land to the tribe of Levi. Instead, as the LORD had promised them, their allotment came from the offerings burned on the altar to the LORD, the God of Israel. The Land Given to the Tribe of Reuben

14He did not give any inheritance to the tribe of Levi. This was its inheritance, just as He had promised: the offerings made by fire to the LORD, the God of Israel.

15Moses had assigned the following area to the clans of the tribe of Reuben.

15To the tribe of the Reubenites by their clans, Moses gave

16this as their territory: From Aroer on the rim of the Arnon Valley, along with the city in the middle of the valley, to the whole plateau as far as Medeba,

17It included Heshbon and the other towns on the plain—Dibon, Bamoth-baal, Beth-baal-meon,

17with Heshbon and all its cities on the plateau--Dibon, Bamoth-baal, Beth-baal-meon,

19Kiriathaim, Sibmah, Zereth-shahar on the hill in the valley,

20Beth-peor, the slopes of Pisgah, and Beth-jeshimoth.

20Beth-peor, the slopes of Pisgah, and Beth-jeshimoth--

21The land of Reuben also included all the towns of the plain and the entire kingdom of Sihon. Sihon was the Amorite king who had reigned in Heshbon and was killed by Moses along with the leaders of Midian—Evi, Rekem, Zur, Hur, and Reba—princes living in the region who were allied with Sihon.

21all the cities of the plateau, and all the kingdom of Sihon king of the Amorites, who reigned in Heshbon. Moses had killed him and the chiefs of Midian--Evi, Rekem, Zur, Hur, and Reba--the princes of Sihon who lived in the land.

22The Israelites had also killed Balaam son of Beor, who used magic to tell the future.

22Along with those the Israelites put to death, they also killed the diviner, Balaam son of Beor, with the sword.

23The Jordan River marked the western boundary for the tribe of Reuben. The towns and their surrounding villages in this area were given as a homeland to the clans of the tribe of Reuben. The Land Given to the Tribe of Gad

23The border of the Reubenites was the Jordan and its plain. This was the inheritance of the Reubenites by their clans, with the cities and their villages.

24Moses had assigned the following area to the clans of the tribe of Gad.

24To the tribe of the Gadites by their clans, Moses gave

25Their territory included Jazer, all the towns of Gilead, and half of the land of Ammon, as far as the town of Aroer just west of Rabbah.

25this as their territory: Jazer and all the cities of Gilead, and half the land of the Ammonites to Aroer, near Rabbah;

26It extended from Heshbon to Ramath-mizpeh and Betonim, and from Mahanaim to the territory of Lo-debar.

26from Heshbon to Ramath-mizpeh and Betonim, and from Mahanaim to the border of Debir;

27In the valley were Beth-haram, Beth-nimrah, Succoth, Zaphon, and the rest of the kingdom of King Sihon of Heshbon. The western boundary ran along the Jordan River, extended as far north as the tip of the Sea of Galilee, and then turned eastward.

27in the valley: Beth-haram, Beth-nimrah, Succoth, and Zaphon--the rest of the kingdom of Sihon king of Heshbon. Their land also included the Jordan and its territory as far as the edge of the Sea of Chinnereth on the east side of the Jordan.

28The towns and their surrounding villages in this area were given as a homeland to the clans of the tribe of Gad. The Land Given to the Half-Tribe of Manasseh

28This was the inheritance of the Gadites by their clans, with the cities and their villages.

29Moses had assigned the following area to the clans of the half-tribe of Manasseh.

29And to half the tribe of Manasseh, that is, to half the tribe of Manasseh's descendants by their clans, Moses gave

30Their territory extended from Mahanaim, including all of Bashan, all the former kingdom of King Og, and the sixty towns of Jair in Bashan.

30this as their territory: From Mahanaim through all Bashan--all the kingdom of Og king of Bashan, including all of Jair's Villages that are in Bashan--60 cities.

31It also included half of Gilead and King Og’s royal cities of Ashtaroth and Edrei. All this was given to the clans of the descendants of Makir, who was Manasseh’s son.

31But half of Gilead, and Og's royal cities in Bashan--Ashtaroth and Edrei--are for the descendants of Machir son of Manasseh, that is, half the descendants of Machir by their clans.

32These are the allotments Moses had made while he was on the plains of Moab, across the Jordan River, east of Jericho.

32These were the portions Moses gave them on the plains of Moab beyond the Jordan east of Jericho.

33But Moses gave no allotment of land to the tribe of Levi, for the LORD, the God of Israel, had promised that he himself would be their allotment.

33But Moses did not give a portion to the tribe of Levi. The LORD, the God of Israel, was their inheritance, just as He had promised them.
