13:1 Now Yehoshua was old [and] stricken in years; and YHWH (יהוה) said unto him, Thou art old [and] stricken in years, and there remaineth yet very much land to be possessed.
13:2 This [is] the land that yet remaineth: all the borders of the Pelishtim, and all Geshuri,
13:3 From Sihor, which [is] before Mitzrayim, even unto the borders of Ekron northward, [which] is counted to the Kenaanite: five masters of the Pelishtim; the Azzati , and the Ashdodi, the Eshkaloni, the Gitti, and the Ekroni; also the Avi'im:
13:4 From the south, all the land of the Kena'anites, and Mearah that [is] beside the Tzidonim, unto Afek, to the borders of the Emoris:
13:5 And the land of the Givlites, and all Levanon, toward the sunrising, from Baal-Gad under mount Hermon unto the entering into Hamat.
13:6 All the inhabitants of the hill country from Levanon unto Misrefot-Mayim, [and] all the Tzidonim, them will I drive out from before Benai Yisrael: only divide thou it by lot unto the Yisraelites for an inheritance, as I have commanded thee.
Division of the land east of the Yarden
13:7 Now therefore divide this land for an inheritance unto the nine tribes, and the half matteh (tribe) of Menasheh,
13:8 With whom the Reuvenites and the Gadites have received their inheritance, which Mosheh gave them, beyond Yarden eastward, [even] as Mosheh the eved YHWH (יהוה) gave them;
13:9 From Aroer, that [is] upon the bank of the river Arnon, and the city that [is] in the midst of the river, and all the plain of Meidva unto Divon;
13:10 And all the cities of Sihon melekh of the Emoris, which reigned in Heshbon, unto the border of Benai Ammon;
13:11 And Gil`ad, and the border of the Geshurites and Maachathites, and all mount Hermon, and all Bashan unto Salcah;
13:12 All the kingdom of Og in Bashan, which reigned in Ashtarot and in Edrei, who remained of the remnant of the giants: for these did Mosheh smite, and cast them out.
13:13 Nevertheless Benai Yisrael expelled not the Geshurites, nor the Maachathites: but the Geshurites and the Maachathites dwell among the Yisraelites until this day.
13:14 Only unto the matteh (tribe) of Levi he gave none inheritance; the sacrifices of YHWH (יהוה) Elohim (אלהים) of Yisrael made by fire [are] their inheritance, as he said unto them.
13:15 And Mosheh gave unto the matteh (tribe) of Benai Reuven [inheritance] according to their families.
13:16 And their coast was from Aroer, that [is] on the bank of the river Arnon, and the city that [is] in the midst of the river, and all the plain by Meidva;
13:17 Heshbon, and all her cities that [are] in the plain; Divon, and Bamot-Baal, and Beit-Ba'al-M'on,
13:18 And Yahatz, and Kedemoth, and Mefa'at,
13:19 And Kiryatayim, and Sivmah, and Tzeret-Shachar in the mount of the valley,
13:20 And Beit-Peor, and slopes of Pisgah, and Beit-Yeshimot,
13:21 And all the cities of the plain, and all the kingdom of Sihon melekh of the Emoris, which reigned in Heshbon, whom Mosheh smote with the princes of Midian, Evi, and Rekem, and Tzur, and Hur, and Reva, [which were] dukes of Sihon, dwelling in the country.
13:22 Bil'am also Ben Beor, the soothsayer, did Benai Yisrael slay with the sword among them that were slain by them.
13:23 And the border of Benai Reuven was Yarden, and the border [thereof]. This [was] the inheritance of Benai Reuven after their families, the cities and the villages thereof.
13:24 And Mosheh gave [inheritance] unto the matteh (tribe) of Gad, [even] unto Benai Gad according to their families.
13:25 And their coast was Ya'zer, and all the cities of Gil`ad, and half the land of Benai Ammon, unto Aroer that [is] before Rabbah;
13:26 And from Heshbon unto Ramath-Mitzpeh, and Betonim; and from Machanayim unto the border of Devir;
13:27 And in the valley, Beit-Haram, and Beit-nimrah, and Sukkot, and Tzafon, the rest of the kingdom of Sihon melekh of Heshbon, Yarden and [his] border, [even] unto the edge of the sea of kinneret on the other side Yarden eastward.
13:28 This [is] the inheritance of Benai Gad after their families, the cities, and their villages.
13:29 And Mosheh gave [inheritance] unto the half matteh (tribe) of Menasheh: and [this] was [the possession] of the half matteh (tribe) of Benai Menasheh by their families.
13:30 And their coast was from Machanayim, all Bashan, all the kingdom of Og melekh of Bashan, and all the towns of Ya'ir, which [are] in Bashan, threescore cities:
13:31 And half Gil`ad, and Ashtarot, and Edrei, cities of the kingdom of Og in Bashan, [were pertaining] unto Benai Machir Ben Menasheh, [even] to the one half of Benai Machir by their families.
13:32 These [are the countries] which Mosheh did distribute for inheritance in the plains of Moav, on the other side Yarden, by Yericho, eastward.
13:33 But unto the matteh (tribe) of Levi Mosheh gave not [any] inheritance: YHWH (יהוה) Elohim (אלהים) of Yisrael [was] their inheritance, as he said unto them.
