Joshua 13:8-14 ▼

8 The other half of Manasseh, along with the Reubenites and Gadites (a troop / fortune), had received the inheritance Moses (drawn out) had given them beyond the Jordan (flowing down) to the east, just as Moses the servant of the LORD {YHWH} had assigned to them:

9 The area from Aroer (ruins) on the rim of the Arnon (rushing stream) Valley, along with the city in the middle of the valley, the whole plateau of Medeba (water of rest) as far as Dibon (wasting),

10 and all the cities of Sihon (warrior) king of the Amorites (sayers) who reigned in Heshbon (stronghold), as far as the border of the Ammonites (tribal);

11 also Gilead (rocky region) and the territory of the Geshurites and Maacathites (she has pressed), all of Mount Hermon (a sanctuary), and all Bashan (fruitful) as far as Salecah (migration)—

12 the whole kingdom of Og (long-necked) in Bashan (fruitful), who had reigned in Ashtaroth (star) and Edrei (good pasture) and had remained as a remnant of the Rephaim. Moses (drawn out) had struck them down and dispossessed them,

13 but the Israelites (God prevails) did not drive out the Geshurites or the Maacathites (she has pressed). So Geshur (proud beholder) and Maacath (oppression) dwell among the Israelites to this day.

14 To the tribe of Levi (joined to), however, Moses had given no inheritance. The food offerings to the LORD, the God {YHWH Elohe} of Israel (he wrestles with God), are their inheritance, just as He had promised them.
