1 When Joshua had grown old and was well along in years, the LORD said to him, "You have grown old and are well along in years, and a great deal of land remains to be taken over.
2 This is the land that still remains: all the districts of the Philistines and all those of the Geshurites,
3 from the Shihor east of Egypt north to the territory of Ekron, which is reckoned as Canaanite; the five rulers of the Philistines in Gaza, Ashdod, Ashkelon, Gath, and Ekron; and the Avvim
4 to the south; the whole land of the Canaanites, from Mearah, which belongs to the Sidonians, as far as Aphek and the border of the Amorites;
5 the land of the Gebalites; and all Lebanon to the east, from Baal-gad at the foot of Mount Hermon to Lebo-hamath;
6 and all the people of the hill country from Lebanon to Misrephoth-maim, all the Sidonians. I myself will drive them out before the children of Israel. You have only to assign the land to Israel by lot as an inheritance, as I have commanded you.
7 So now divide this land as an inheritance among the nine tribes and the half-tribe of Manasseh."
8 Along with the other half of Manasseh, the Reubenites and the Gadites had already received the inheritance Moses gave them east of the Jordan, as Moses the servant of the LORD had assigned it to them:
9 from Aroer on the rim of the Valley of the Arnon, with the town in the middle of the valley, and the whole tableland of Medeba as far as Dibon;
10 all the towns of Sihon king of the Amorites, who ruled in Heshbon, up to the border of the Ammonites;
11 also Gilead, the territory of the Geshurites and Maacathites, all of Mount Hermon, and all Bashan as far as Salecah,
12 the whole kingdom of Og in Bashan, who had ruled in Ashtaroth and Edrei and was the last survivor of the Rephaim. Moses had defeated them and driven them out.
13 But the children of Israel did not drive out the Geshurites and the Maacathites, so Geshur and Maacath still live among Israel today.
14 To the tribe of Levi alone he gave no inheritance. The food offerings of the LORD, the God of Israel, are their inheritance, as he told them.
15 Moses had assigned to the tribe of the children of Reuben an inheritance clan by clan.
16 Their territory reached from Aroer on the rim of the Valley of the Arnon, with the town in the middle of the valley, and all the tableland next to Medeba,
17 Heshbon and all its cities that are on the plateau: Dibon, Bamoth-baal, Beth-baal-meon,
18 Jahaz, Kedemoth, Mephaath,
19 Kiriathaim, Sibmah, Zereth-shahar on the hill of the valley,
20 Beth-peor, the slopes of Pisgah, Beth-jeshimoth,
21 all the towns of the tableland and the whole kingdom of Sihon king of the Amorites, who ruled in Heshbon. Moses had defeated him and the chiefs of Midian, Evi, Rekem, Zur, Hur, and Reba, vassal princes of Sihon who lived in that country.
22 Along with the others they killed, the children of Israel also put to the sword Balaam son of Beor, who practiced divination.
23 The boundary of the children of Reuben was the Jordan and its bank. These towns and their villages were the inheritance of the children of Reuben, clan by clan.
24 Moses had also assigned an inheritance to the tribe of Gad, to the children of Gad clan by clan.
25 Their territory included Jazer, all the towns of Gilead, and half the land of the Ammonites up to Aroer, near Rabbah;
26 from Heshbon to Ramath-mizpeh and Betonim, and from Mahanaim to the territory of Lo-debar;
27 and in the valley, Beth-haram, Beth-nimrah, Succoth, and Zaphon, the rest of the kingdom of Sihon king of Heshbon, with the Jordan and its bank up to the southern tip of the Sea of Chinnereth, east of the Jordan.
28 These towns and their villages were the inheritance of the children of Gad, clan by clan.
29 Moses had assigned an inheritance to the half-tribe of Manasseh; it went to half the tribe of the children of Manasseh, clan by clan.
30 Their territory stretched from Mahanaim through all Bashan, the whole kingdom of Og king of Bashan, including all the settlements of Jair in Bashan, sixty towns,
31 and half of Gilead, with Ashtaroth and Edrei, the royal cities of Og in Bashan. These were given to the descendants of Machir son of Manasseh, to half of the children of Machir, clan by clan.
32 These were the inheritances Moses allotted when he was in the plains of Moab, east of the Jordan across from Jericho.
33 But Moses gave no inheritance to the tribe of Levi; the LORD, the God of Israel, is their inheritance, as he told them.
