Joshua - ch 13 v 1 - 20
- 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:
- To wit, all Galilee, Philistia, and all Gessuri.
- 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.
- 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,
- And his confines. The country also of Libanus towards the east from Baalgad under mount Hermon to the entering into Emath.
- 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.
- And now divide the land in possession to the nine tribes, and to the half tribe of Manasses,
- 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.
- 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:
- And all the cities of Sehon, king of the Amorrhites, who reigned in Hesebon, unto the borders of the children of Ammon.
- And Galaad, and the borders of Gessuri and Machati, and all mount Hermon, and all Basan as far as Salecha,
- 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.
- And the children of Israel would not destroy Gessuri and Machati: and they have dwelt in the midst of Israel, until this present day.
- 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.
- And Moses gave a possession to the children of Ruben according to their kindreds.
- 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,
- And Hesebon, and all their villages, which are in the plains. Dibon also, and Bamothbaal, and the town of Baalmaon,
- And Jassa, and Cidimoth, and Mephaath,
- And Cariathaim, and Sabama, and Sarathasar in the mountain of the valley.
- Bethphogor and Asedoth, Phasga and Bethiesimoth,
