Joshua 13:2-6 ▼

2 This is the land that remains: All the territory (circuit) of the Philistines (immigrants) and the Geshurites,

3 from the Shihor (dark) east of Egypt (land of bondage) to the territory of Ekron (torn up by the roots) on the north (considered to be Canaanite territory (merchants))—that of the five Philistine (immigrants) rulers of Gaza, Ashdod (I will spoil), Ashkelon (the fire of infamy), Gath (belonging to Gath), and Ekron, as well as that of the Avvites (ruins);

4 to the south, all the land of the Canaanites (merchants), from Mearah (Arah) of the Sidonians to Aphek (enclosure), as far as the border of the Amorites (sayers);

5 the land of the Gebalites (the area of Byblos); and all Lebanon (whiteness) to the east, from Baal-gad (lord of fortune) below Mount Hermon (a sanctuary) to Lebo-hamath (fortress).

6 All the inhabitants of the hill country from Lebanon (whiteness) to Misrephoth-maim (burnings of water)—all the Sidonians—I Myself will drive out before the Israelites (God prevails). Be sure to divide it by lot as an inheritance to Israel, as I have commanded you.
