This is the land > that remains: all the districts of the Philistines and > Geshurites; the land from the Shihor River east of Egypt to the border of > Ekron up north, Canaanite > country (there were five Philistine tyrants-in Gaza, > in Ashdod, in Ashkelon, in Gath, in Ekron); also the Avvim from the south; > all the Canaanite land > from Arah (belonging to the Sidonians) to Aphek at the > Amorite border; the country of the Gebalites; all Lebanon eastward from > Baal Gad in the shadow of > Mount Hermon to the Entrance of Hamath; all who live > in the mountains, from Lebanon to Misrephoth Maim; all the Sidonians. > > 6-7 "I myself will drive them out before the People of Israel. All you > have to do is allot this > land to Israel as an inheritance, as I have instructed > you. Do it now: Allot this land as an inheritance to the nine tribes and > the half-tribe of > Manasseh." > > Land East of the Jordan > 8 The other half-tribe of Manasseh, with the Reubenites and Gadites, had > been given their > inheritance by Moses on the other side of the Jordan eastward. > Moses the servant of God gave it to them. > > 9-13 This land extended from Aroer at the edge of the Arnon Gorge and the > city in the middle of the > valley, taking in the entire tableland of Medeba as > far as Dibon, and all the towns of Sihon king of the Amorites, who ruled > from Heshbon, and out to > the border of the Ammonites. It also included Gilead, > the country of the people of Geshur and Maacah, all of Mount Hermon, and > all Bashan as far as > Salecah-the whole kingdom of Og in Bashan, who reigned in > Ashtaroth and Edrei. He was one of the last survivors of the Rephaim. > Moses had defeated them and > taken their land. The People of Israel never did drive > out the Geshurites and the Maacathites-they're still there, living in > Israel. > > 14 Levi was the only tribe that did not receive an inheritance. The > Fire-Gift-Offerings to God, the > God of Israel, are their inheritance, just as he told > them. > > Reuben > 15-22 To the tribe of Reuben, clan by clan, Moses gave: > the land from Aroer at the edge of the Arnon Gorge and the town in the > middle of the valley, > including the tableland around Medeba; > Heshbon on the tableland with all its towns (Dibon, Bamoth Baal, Beth > Baal Meon, Jahaz, Kedemoth, > Mephaath, Kiriathaim, Sibmah, Zereth Shahar on Valley > Mountain, Beth Peor, the slopes of Pisgah, Beth Jeshimoth); > and all the cities of the tableland, the whole kingdom of Sihon king of > the Amorites, who ruled > at Heshbon, whom Moses put to death along with the princes > of Midian: Evi, Rekem, Zur, Hur, and Reba, who lived in that country, all > puppets of Sihon. (In > addition to those killed in battle, Balaam son of Beor, > the soothsayer, was put to death by the People of Israel.) > > 23 The boundary for the Reubenites was the bank of the Jordan River. This > was the inheritance of > the Reubenites, their villages and cities, according to > their clans. > > Gad > 24-27 To the tribe of Gad, clan by clan, Moses gave: > the territory of Jazer and all the towns of Gilead and half the Ammonite > country as far as Aroer > near Rabbah; > the land from Heshbon to Ramath Mizpah and Betonim, and from Mahanaim to > the region of Debir; > in the valley: Beth Haram, Beth Nimrah, Succoth, and Zaphon, with the > rest of the kingdom of > Sihon king of Heshbon (the east side of the Jordan, north > to the end of the Sea of Kinnereth). > > 28 This was the inheritance of the Gadites, their cities and villages, > clan by clan. > > Half-Tribe of Manasseh > 29-31 To the half-tribe of Manasseh, clan by clan, Moses gave: > the land stretching out from Mahanaim; > all of Bashan, which is the entire kingdom of Og king of Bashan, and all > the settlements of Jair > in Bashan-sixty towns in all. > Half of Gilead with Ashtaroth and Edrei, the royal cities of Og in > Bashan, belong to the > descendants of Makir, a son of Manasseh (in other words, the > half-tribe of the children of Makir) for their clans. > > 32-33 This is the inheritance that Moses gave out when he was on the > plains of Moab across the > Jordan east of Jericho. But Moses gave no inheritance to > the tribe of Levi. God, the God of Israel, is their inheritance, just as > he told them. > > Joshua 14 > > Land West of the Jordan > 1-2Here are the inheritance allotments that the People of Israel received > in the land of Canaan. > Eleazar the priest, Joshua son of Nun, and the heads of > the family clans made the allotments. Each inheritance was assigned by lot > to the nine and a half > tribes, just as God had commanded Moses. > > 3-4 Moses had given the two and a half tribes their inheritance east of > the Jordan, but hadn't > given an inheritance to the Levites, as he had to the others. > Because the sons of Joseph had become two tribes, Manasseh and Ephraim, > they gave no allotment to > the Levites; but they did give them cities to live in > with pasture rights for their flocks and herds. > > 5 The People of Israel followed through exactly as God had commanded > Moses. They apportioned the > land. > > Caleb > 6-12 The people of Judah came to Joshua at Gilgal. Caleb son of Jephunneh > the Kenizzite spoke: > "You'll remember what God said to Moses the man of God concerning > you and me back at Kadesh Barnea. I was forty years old when Moses the > servant of God sent me from > Kadesh Barnea to spy out the land. And I brought back > an honest and accurate report. My companions who went with me discouraged > the people, but I stuck to > my guns, totally with God, my God. That was the day > that Moses solemnly promised, 'The land on which your feet have walked > will be your inheritance, you > and your children's, forever. Yes, you have lived > totally for God.' Now look at me: God has kept me alive, as he promised. > It is now forty-five years > since God spoke this word to Moses, years in which > Israel wandered in the wilderness. And here I am today, eighty-five years > old! I'm as strong as I > was the day Moses sent me out. I'm as strong as ever > in battle, whether coming or going. So give me this hill country that God > promised me. You yourself > heard the report, that the Anakim were there with their > great fortress cities. If God goes with me, I will drive them out, just as > God said." > > 13-14 Joshua blessed him. He gave Hebron to Caleb son of Jephunneh as an > inheritance. Hebron > belongs to Caleb son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite still today, > because he gave himself totally to God, the God of Israel. > > 15 The name of Hebron used to be Kiriath Arba, named after Arba, the > greatest man among the Anakim. > > And the land had rest from war. > > Joshua 15 > > Judah > 1 The lot for the people of Judah, their clans, extended south to the > border of Edom, to the > wilderness of Zin in the extreme south. > > 2-4 The southern border ran from the tip of the Salt Sea south of The > Tongue; it ran southward from > Scorpions Pass, went around Zin and just south of Kadesh > Barnea; then it ran past Hezron, ascended to Addar, and curved around to > Karka; from there it passed > along to Azmon, came out at the Brook of Egypt, ending > at the Sea. This is the southern boundary. 5-11 The eastern boundary: the > Salt Sea up to the mouth > of the Jordan. > > The northern boundary started at the shallows of the Sea at the mouth > of the Jordan, went up to > Beth Hoglah and around to the north of Beth Arabah and > to the Stone of Bohan son of Reuben. The border then ascended to Debir > from Trouble Valley and > turned north toward Gilgal, which lies opposite Red Pass, > just south of the gorge. The border then followed the Waters of En Shemesh > and ended at En Rogel. > The border followed the Valley of Ben Hinnom along the > southern slope of the Jebusite ridge (that is, Jerusalem). It ascended to > the top of the mountain > opposite Hinnom Valley on the west, at the northern end > of Rephaim Valley; the border then took a turn at the top of the mountain > to the spring, the Waters > of Nephtoah, and followed the valley out to Mount Ephron, > turned toward Baalah (that is, Kiriath Jearim), took another turn west of > Baalah to Mount Seir, > curved around to the northern shoulder of Mount Jearim > (that is, Kesalon), descended to Beth Shemesh, and crossed to Timnah. The > border then went north to > the ridge of Ekron, turned toward Shikkeron, passed > along to Mount Baalah, and came out at Jabneel. The border ended at the > Sea. > > 12 The western border: the coastline of the Great Sea. > > This is the boundary around the people of Judah for their clans. > > 13 Joshua gave Caleb son of Jephunneh a section among the people of Judah, > according to God's > command. He gave him Kiriath Arba, that is, Hebron. Arba > was the ancestor of Anak. > > 14-15 Caleb drove out three Anakim from Hebron: Sheshai, Ahiman, and > Talmai, all descendants of > Anak. He marched up from there against the people of Debir. > Debir used to be called Kiriath Sepher. > > 16-17 Caleb said, "Whoever attacks Kiriath Sepher and takes it, I'll give > my daughter Acsah to him > as his wife." Othniel son of Kenaz, Caleb's brother, > took it; so Caleb gave him his daughter Acsah as his wife. > 18-19 When she arrived she got him > to ask for farmland from her father. > As she dismounted from her donkey > Caleb asked her, "What would you like?" > She said, "Give me a marriage gift. > You've given me desert land; > Now give me pools of water!" > And he gave her the upper and the lower pools. > > 20-32 This is the inheritance of the tribe of the people of Judah, clan by > clan. > > The southern towns of the tribe of Judah in the Negev were near the > boundary of Edom: > Kabzeel, Eder, Jagur, > Kinah, Dimonah, Adadah, > Kedesh, Hazor, Ithnan, > Ziph, Telem, Bealoth, > Hazor Hadattah, Kerioth Hezron (that is, Hazor), > Amam, Shema, Moladah, > Hazar Gaddah, Heshmon, Beth Pelet, > Hazar Shual, Beersheba, Biziothiah, > Baalah, Iim, Ezem, > Eltolad, Kesil, Hormah, > Ziklag, Madmannah, Sansannah, > Lebaoth, Shilhim, Ain, and Rimmon- > a total of twenty-nine towns and their villages. > 33-47 In the Shephelah (the western foothills) there were: > Eshtaol, Zorah, Ashnah, > Zanoah, En Gannim, Tappuah, Enam, > Jarmuth, Adullam, Socoh, Azekah, > Shaaraim, Adithaim, and Gederah (or Gederothaim)- > fourteen towns and their villages. > Zenan, Hadashah, Migdal Gad, > Dilean, Mizpah, Joktheel, > Lachish, Bozkath, Eglon, > Cabbon, Lahmas, Kitlish, > Gederoth, Beth Dagon, Naamah, and Makkedah- > sixteen towns and their villages. > Libnah, Ether, Ashan, > Iphtah, Ashnah, Nezib, > Keilah, Aczib, and Mareshah- > nine towns and their villages. > Ekron with its towns and villages; > From Ekron, west to the sea, all that bordered Ashdod with its villages; > Ashdod with its towns and villages; > Gaza with its towns and villages all the way to the Brook of Egypt. > The Great Sea is the western border. > 48-60 In the hill country: > Shamir, Jattir, Socoh, > Dannah, Kiriath Sannah (that is, Debir), > Anab, Eshtemoh, Anim, > Goshen, Holon, and Giloh- > eleven towns and their villages. > Arab, Dumah, Eshan, > Janim, Beth Tappuah, Aphekah, > Humtah, Kiriath Arba (that is, Hebron), and Zior- > nine towns and their villages. > Maon, Carmel, Ziph, Juttah, > Jezreel, Jokdeam, Zanoah, > Kain, Gibeah, and Timnah- > ten towns and their villages. > Halhul, Beth Zur, Gedor, > Maarath, Beth Anoth, and Eltekon- > six towns and their villages. > Kiriath Baal (that is, Kiriath Jearim) and Rabbah- > two towns and their villages. > 61-62 In the wilderness: > Beth Arabah, Middin, Secacah, > Nibshan, the City of Salt, and En Gedi- > six towns and their villages. > > 63 The people of Judah couldn't get rid of the Jebusites who lived in > Jerusalem.
