Now Joshua was old and advanced in years, and the LORD said to him, “You are old and advanced in years, and there remains yet very much land to possess.

But the Israelites did not drive out the people of Geshur and Maakah, so they continue to live among the Israelites to this day.
14 Moses allotted no inheritance solely to the tribe of Levi. As he had mentioned to them, the offerings by fire to the LORD God of Israel are their inheritance.

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.

These towns and their villages were the inheritance of the Reubenites, according to their clans.
24 Moses also allocated territory to the tribe of Gad, that is, to the descendants of Gad, according to their families. Moses gave an inheritance also to the tribe of Gad, to the people of Gad, according to their clans. This is what Moses had given to the tribe of Gad, according to its clans:

29 Moses also allocated territory to the half-tribe of Manasseh, that is, for the half-tribe of the descendants of Manasseh according to their tribes. And Moses gave an inheritance to the half-tribe of Manasseh. It was allotted to the half-tribe of the people of Manasseh according to their clans.
