 |
| |
| | Jos 13:1 | Josue was old, and far advanced in years, and the Lord said to him: Thou art grown old, and advanced in age, and there is a very large country left, which is not yet divided by lot:
| |
| | Jos 13:2 | To wit, all Galilee, Philistia, and all Gessuri.
| |
| | Jos 13:3 | From the troubled river, that watereth Egypt, unto the borders of Accaron northward: the land of Chanaan, which is divided among the lords of the Philistines, the Gazites, the Azotians, the Ascalonites, the Gethites, and the Accronites.
| |
| | Jos 13:4 | And on the south side are the Hevites, all the land of Chanaan, and Maara of the Sidonians as far as Apheca, and the borders of the Amorrhite,
| |
| | Jos 13:5 | And his confines. The country also of Libanus towards the east from Baalgad under mount Hermon to the entering into Emath.
| |
| | Jos 13:6 | Of all that dwell in the mountains from Libanus, to the waters of Maserephoth, and all the Sidonians. I am he that will cut them off from before the face of the children of Israel. So let their land come in as a part of the inheritance of Israel, as I have commanded thee.
| |
| | Jos 13:7 | And now divide the land in possession to the nine tribes, and to the half tribe of Manasses,
| |
| | Jos 13:8 | With whom Ruben and Gad have possessed the land, which Moses the servant of the Lord delivered to them beyond the river Jordan, on the east side.
| |
| | Jos 13:9 | From Aroer, which is upon the bank of the torrent Amen, and in the midst of the valley and all the plains of Medaba, as far as Dibon:
| |
| | Jos 13:10 | And all the cities of Sehon, king of the Amorrhites, who reigned in Hesebon, unto the borders of the children of Ammon.
| |
| | Jos 13:11 | And Galaad, and the borders of Gessuri and Machati, and all mount Hermon, and all Basan as far as Salecha,
| |
| | Jos 13:12 | All the kingdom of Og in Basan, who reigned in Astaroth and Edrai, he was of the remains of the Raphaims: and Moses overthrew and destroyed them.
| |
| | Jos 13:13 | And the children of Israel would not destroy Gessuri and Machati: and they have dwelt in the midst of Israel, until this present day.
| |
| | Jos 13:14 | But to the tribe of Levi he gave no possession: but the sacrifices and victims of the Lord God of Israel, are his inheritance, as he spoke to him.
| |
| | Jos 13:15 | And Moses gave a possession to the children of Ruben according to their kindreds.
| |
| | Jos 13:16 | And their border was from Aroer, which is on the bank of the torrent Arnon, and in the midst of the valley of the same torrent: all the plain, that leadeth to Medaba,
| |
| | Jos 13:17 | And Hesebon, and all their villages, which are in the plains. Dibon also, and Bamothbaal, and the town of Baalmaon,
| |
| | Jos 13:18 | And Jassa, and Cidimoth, and Mephaath,
| |
| | Jos 13:19 | And Cariathaim, and Sabama, and Sarathasar in the mountain of the valley.
| |
| | Jos 13:20 | Bethphogor and Asedoth, Phasga and Bethiesimoth,
| |
| | Jos 13:21 | And all the cities of the plain, and all the kingdoms of Sehon king of the Amorrhites, that reigned in Hesebon, whom Moses slew with the princes of Madian: Hevi, and Recem, and Sur and Hur, and Rebe, dukes of Sehon inhabitants of the land.
| |
| | Jos 13:22 | Balaam also the son of Beer the soothsayer, the children of Israel slew with the sword among the rest that were slain.
| |
| | Jos 13:23 | And the river Jordan was the herder of the children of Ruben. This is the possession of the Rubenites, by their kindreds, of cities and villages.
| |
| | Jos 13:24 | And Moses gave to the tribe of Gad and to his children by their kindreds a possession, of which this is the division.
| |
| | Jos 13:25 | The border of Jaser, and all the cities of Galaad, and half the land of the children of Ammon: as far as Aroer which is over against Rabba:
| |
| | Jos 13:26 | And from Hesebon unto Ramoth, Masphe and Betonim: and from Manaim unto the borders of Dabir.
| |
| | Jos 13:27 | And in the valley Betharan and Bethnemra, and Socoth, and Saphon the other part of the kingdom of Sehon king of Hesebon: the limit of this also is the Jordan, as far as the uttermost part of the sea of Cenereth beyond the Jordan on the east side.
| |
| | Jos 13:28 | This is the possession of the children of Gad by their families, their cities, and villages.
| |
| | Jos 13:29 | He gave also to the half tribe of Manasses and his children possession according to their kindreds,
| |
| | Jos 13:30 | The beginning whereof is this: from Manaim all Basan, and all the kingdoms of Og king of Basan, and all the villages of Jair, which are in Basan, threescore towns.
| |
| | Jos 13:31 | And half Galaad, and Astaroth, and Edrai, cities of the kingdom of Og in Basan: to the children of Machir, the son of Manasses, to one? half of the children of Machir according to their kindreds.
| |
| | Jos 13:32 | This possession Moses divided in the plains of Moab, beyond the Jordan, over against Jericho on the east side.
| |
| | Jos 13:33 | But to the tribe of Levi he gave no possession: because the Lord the God of Israel himself is their possession, as he spoke to them.
