Joshua 13:1-7 ▼

1 And Joshua was old, advanced in years, and YHWH said to him, “You are old, advanced in years, and very much of the land remains to be possessed.

2 This is the land that remains: All the territory of the Philistines and all of the Geshurite,

3 from Shihor, which is upon the face of Egypt, and as far as the border of Ekron northward, to the Canaanite it is reckoned; the five lords of the Philistines—the Gazite, and the Ashdodite, the Ashkelonite, the Gittite, and the Ekronite; and the Avite;

4 from the south, all the land of the Canaanite, and Mearah, that is to the Sidonians, as far as Aphek, to the border of the Amorite;

5 and the land of the Gebalites; and all Lebanon toward the rising of the sun, from Baal-gad below Mount Hermon to the entrance to Hamath.

6 All those dwelling in the hill country from Lebanon as far as Misrephoth-maim—all the Sidonians—I will drive them out from before the sons of Israel; only divide it by lot to Israel as an inheritance, as I have commanded you.

7 And now divide this land as an inheritance to the nine tribes and the half-tribe of Manasseh.”
