English Standard Version

Kings Defeated by Moses

12 Now these are the kings of the land whom the people of Israel defeated and took possession of their land beyond the Jordan toward the sunrise, from ^(A)the Valley of the Arnon to Mount Hermon, with all ^(B)the Arabah eastward: ²^(C)Sihon king of the Amorites who lived at Heshbon and ruled from Aroer, which is on the edge of the Valley of the Arnon, and ^(D)from the middle of the valley as far as the ^(E)river Jabbok, the boundary of the Ammonites, that is, half of Gilead, ³and ^(F)the Arabah ^(G)to the Sea of Chinneroth eastward, and in the direction of Beth-jeshimoth, to the Sea of the Arabah, the Salt Sea, southward to the foot of ^(H)the slopes of Pisgah; ⁴and ^(I)Og^[a] king of Bashan, one of the remnant of ^(J)the Rephaim, ^(K)who lived at Ashtaroth and at Edrei ⁵and ruled over ^(L)Mount Hermon and ^(M)Salecah and all Bashan ^(N)to the boundary of the Geshurites and the Maacathites, and over half of Gilead to the boundary of Sihon king of Heshbon. ⁶^(O)Moses, the servant of the Lord, and the people of Israel defeated them. And Moses the servant of the Lord ^(P)gave their land for a possession to the Reubenites and the Gadites and the half-tribe of Manasseh.

Kings Defeated by Joshua

⁷And these are the kings of the land whom Joshua and the people of Israel defeated on the west side of the Jordan, from Baal-gad in the Valley of Lebanon to ^(Q)Mount Halak, that rises toward Seir (and Joshua gave their land to the tribes of Israel as a possession ^(R)according to their allotments, ⁸^(S)in the hill country, in the lowland, in the Arabah, in the slopes, in the wilderness, and in the Negeb, the land of ^(T)the Hittites, the Amorites, the Canaanites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites): ⁹^(U)the king of Jericho, one; ^(V)the king of Ai, which is beside Bethel, one; ¹⁰^(W)the king of Jerusalem, one; ^(X)the king of Hebron, one; ¹¹^(Y)the king of Jarmuth, one; ^(Z)the king of Lachish, one; ¹²^(AA)the king of Eglon, one; ^(AB)the king of Gezer, one; ¹³^(AC)the king of Debir, one; the king of Geder, one; ¹⁴the king of Hormah, one; the king of Arad, one; ¹⁵^(AD)the king of Libnah, one; the king of Adullam, one; ¹⁶^(AE)the king of Makkedah, one; ^(AF)the king of Bethel, one; ¹⁷the king of Tappuah, one; the king of Hepher, one; ¹⁸the king of Aphek, one; the king of Lasharon, one; ¹⁹^(AG)the king of Madon, one; ^(AH)the king of Hazor, one; ²⁰^(AI)the king of Shimron-meron, one; ^(AJ)the king of Achshaph, one; ²¹^(AK)the king of Taanach, one; ^(AL)the king of Megiddo, one; ²²the king of Kedesh, one; the king of Jokneam in Carmel, one; ²³^(AM)the king of Dor in ^(AN)Naphath-dor, one; the king of Goiim in Galilee,^[b] one; ²⁴the king of Tirzah, one: in all, thirty-one kings.

Land Still to Be Conquered

13 Now Joshua ^(AO)was old and advanced in years, and the Lord said to him, “You are old and advanced in years, and there remains yet very much land ^(AP)to possess. ²^(AQ)This is the land that yet remains: all the ^(AR)regions of the Philistines, and all those of the Geshurites ³(from the ^(AS)Shihor, which is east of Egypt, northward to the boundary of Ekron, it is counted as Canaanite; ^(AT)there are five rulers of the Philistines, those of Gaza, Ashdod, Ashkelon, Gath, and Ekron), and those of ^(AU)the Avvim, ⁴in the south, all the land of the Canaanites, and Mearah that belongs to the Sidonians, to Aphek, to the boundary of ^(AV)the Amorites, ⁵and the land of the ^(AW)Gebalites, and all Lebanon, toward the sunrise, from ^(AX)Baal-gad below Mount Hermon to ^(AY)Lebo-hamath, ⁶all the inhabitants of the hill country from Lebanon to ^(AZ)Misrephoth-maim, even all the Sidonians. I myself will drive ^(BA)them out from before the people of Israel. Only ^(BB)allot the land to Israel ^(BC)for an inheritance, as I have commanded you. ⁷Now therefore ^(BD)divide this land for an inheritance to the nine tribes and half the tribe of Manasseh.”

The Inheritance East of the Jordan

⁸With the other half of the tribe of Manasseh^[c] the Reubenites and the Gadites received their inheritance, ^(BE)which Moses gave them, beyond the Jordan eastward, as Moses the servant of the Lord gave them: ⁹^(BF)from Aroer, which is on the edge of the Valley of the Arnon, and the city that is in the middle of the valley, and ^(BG)all the tableland of Medeba as far as Dibon; ¹⁰^(BH)and all the cities of Sihon king of the Amorites, who reigned in Heshbon, as far as the boundary of the Ammonites; ¹¹and Gilead, and the ^(BI)region of the Geshurites and Maacathites, and all Mount Hermon, and ^(BJ)all Bashan to Salecah; ¹²^(BK)all the kingdom of Og in Bashan, who reigned in Ashtaroth and in Edrei (he alone was left of ^(BL)the remnant of the Rephaim); ^(BM)these Moses had struck and driven out. ¹³^(BN)Yet the people of Israel did not drive out the Geshurites or the Maacathites, but Geshur and Maacath dwell in the midst of Israel to this day.

¹⁴^(BO)To the tribe of Levi alone Moses gave no inheritance. The offerings by fire to the Lord God of Israel are their inheritance, as he said to him.

¹⁵And Moses gave an inheritance to the tribe of the people of Reuben according to their clans. ¹⁶So their territory was from Aroer, ^(BP)which is on the edge of the Valley of the Arnon, and the city that is in the middle of the valley, and all the tableland by ^(BQ)Medeba; ¹⁷with Heshbon, and all its cities that are in the tableland; ^(BR)Dibon, and Bamoth-baal, and Beth-baal-meon, ¹⁸^(BS)and Jahaz, and Kedemoth, and Mephaath, ¹⁹and ^(BT)Kiriathaim, and ^(BU)Sibmah, and Zereth-shahar on the hill of the valley, ²⁰and ^(BV)Beth-peor, and ^(BW)the slopes of Pisgah, and ^(BX)Beth-jeshimoth, ²¹that is, ^(BY)all the cities of the tableland, and all the kingdom of Sihon king of the Amorites, who reigned in Heshbon, ^(BZ)whom Moses defeated with ^(CA)the leaders of Midian, Evi and Rekem and Zur and Hur and Reba, the princes of Sihon, who lived in the land. ²²^(CB)Balaam also, the son of Beor, the one who practiced divination, was killed with the sword by the people of Israel among the rest of their slain. ²³And the border of the people of Reuben was the Jordan as a boundary. This was the inheritance of the people of Reuben, according to their clans with their cities and villages.

²⁴Moses gave an inheritance also to the tribe of Gad, to the people of Gad, according to their clans. ²⁵^(CC)Their territory was Jazer, and all the cities of Gilead, and half the land of the Ammonites, to Aroer, which is east of ^(CD)Rabbah, ²⁶and from Heshbon to Ramath-mizpeh and Betonim, and from ^(CE)Mahanaim to the territory of Debir,^[d] ²⁷and in the valley Beth-haram, Beth-nimrah, ^(CF)Succoth, and Zaphon, the rest of the kingdom of Sihon king of Heshbon, having the Jordan as a boundary, to the lower end of the Sea of ^(CG)Chinnereth, eastward beyond the Jordan. ²⁸This is the inheritance of the people of Gad according to their clans, with their cities and villages.

²⁹And Moses gave an inheritance to the half-tribe of Manasseh. It was allotted to the half-tribe of the people of Manasseh according to their clans. ³⁰Their region extended from ^(CH)Mahanaim, through all Bashan, the whole kingdom of Og king of Bashan, and all ^(CI)the towns of Jair, which are in Bashan, sixty cities, ³¹and half Gilead, and ^(CJ)Ashtaroth, and Edrei, the cities of the kingdom of Og in Bashan. These were allotted to the people of ^(CK)Machir the son of Manasseh for the half of the people of Machir according to their clans.

³²These are the inheritances that Moses distributed ^(CL)in the plains of Moab, beyond the Jordan east of Jericho. ³³^(CM)But to the tribe of Levi Moses gave no inheritance; the Lord God of Israel is their inheritance, ^(CN)just as he said to them.

Land Still to Be Taken

13 When Joshua had grown old,^(BC) the Lord said to him, “You are now very old, and there are still very large areas of land to be taken over.

²“This is the land that remains: all the regions of the Philistines^(BD) and Geshurites,^(BE) ³from the Shihor River^(BF) on the east of Egypt to the territory of Ekron^(BG) on the north, all of it counted as Canaanite though held by the five Philistine rulers^(BH) in Gaza, Ashdod,^(BI) Ashkelon,^(BJ) Gath and Ekron; the territory of the Avvites^(BK) ⁴on the south; all the land of the Canaanites, from Arah of the Sidonians as far as Aphek^(BL) and the border of the Amorites;^(BM) ⁵the area of Byblos;^(BN) and all Lebanon^(BO) to the east, from Baal Gad below Mount Hermon^(BP) to Lebo Hamath.^(BQ)

⁶“As for all the inhabitants of the mountain regions from Lebanon to Misrephoth Maim,^(BR) that is, all the Sidonians, I myself will drive them out^(BS) before the Israelites. Be sure to allocate this land to Israel for an inheritance, as I have instructed you,^(BT) ⁷and divide it as an inheritance^(BU) among the nine tribes and half of the tribe of Manasseh.”

Division of the Land East of the Jordan

⁸The other half of Manasseh,^[b] the Reubenites and the Gadites had received the inheritance that Moses had given them east of the Jordan, as he, the servant of the Lord, had assigned^(BV) it to them.^(BW)

⁹It extended from Aroer^(BX) on the rim of the Arnon Gorge, and from the town in the middle of the gorge, and included the whole plateau^(BY) of Medeba as far as Dibon,^(BZ) ¹⁰and all the towns of Sihon king of the Amorites, who ruled in Heshbon,^(CA) out to the border of the Ammonites.^(CB) ¹¹It also included Gilead,^(CC) the territory of the people of Geshur and Maakah, all of Mount Hermon and all Bashan as far as Salekah^(CD)— ¹²that is, the whole kingdom of Og in Bashan,^(CE) who had reigned in Ashtaroth^(CF) and Edrei.^(CG) (He was the last of the Rephaites.^(CH)) Moses had defeated them and taken over their land.^(CI) ¹³But the Israelites did not drive out the people of Geshur^(CJ) and Maakah,^(CK) so they continue to live among the Israelites to this day.^(CL)

¹⁴But to the tribe of Levi he gave no inheritance, since the food offerings presented to the Lord, the God of Israel, are their inheritance, as he promised them.^(CM)

¹⁵This is what Moses had given to the tribe of Reuben, according to its clans:

¹⁶The territory from Aroer^(CN) on the rim of the Arnon Gorge, and from the town in the middle of the gorge, and the whole plateau past Medeba^(CO) ¹⁷to Heshbon and all its towns on the plateau,^(CP) including Dibon,^(CQ) Bamoth Baal,^(CR) Beth Baal Meon,^(CS) ¹⁸Jahaz,^(CT) Kedemoth,^(CU) Mephaath,^(CV) ¹⁹Kiriathaim,^(CW) Sibmah,^(CX) Zereth Shahar on the hill in the valley, ²⁰Beth Peor,^(CY) the slopes of Pisgah, and Beth Jeshimoth— ²¹all the towns on the plateau^(CZ) and the entire realm of Sihon king of the Amorites, who ruled at Heshbon. Moses had defeated him and the Midianite chiefs,^(DA) Evi, Rekem, Zur, Hur and Reba^(DB)—princes allied with Sihon—who lived in that country. ²²In addition to those slain in battle, the Israelites had put to the sword Balaam son of Beor,^(DC) who practiced divination.^(DD) ²³The boundary of the Reubenites was the bank of the Jordan. These towns and their villages were the inheritance of the Reubenites, according to their clans.^(DE)

²⁴This is what Moses had given to the tribe of Gad, according to its clans:

²⁵The territory of Jazer,^(DF) all the towns of Gilead^(DG) and half the Ammonite country as far as Aroer, near Rabbah;^(DH) ²⁶and from Heshbon^(DI) to Ramath Mizpah and Betonim, and from Mahanaim^(DJ) to the territory of Debir;^(DK) ²⁷and in the valley, Beth Haram, Beth Nimrah,^(DL) Sukkoth^(DM) and Zaphon^(DN) with the rest of the realm of Sihon king of Heshbon (the east side of the Jordan, the territory up to the end of the Sea of Galilee^[c]^(DO)). ²⁸These towns and their villages were the inheritance of the Gadites,^(DP) according to their clans.

²⁹This is what Moses had given to the half-tribe of Manasseh, that is, to half the family of the descendants of Manasseh, according to its clans:

³⁰The territory extending from Mahanaim^(DQ) and including all of Bashan,^(DR) the entire realm of Og king of Bashan^(DS)—all the settlements of Jair^(DT) in Bashan, sixty towns, ³¹half of Gilead, and Ashtaroth and Edrei (the royal cities of Og in Bashan).^(DU) This was for the descendants of Makir^(DV) son of Manasseh—for half of the sons of Makir, according to their clans.^(DW)

³²This is the inheritance Moses had given when he was in the plains of Moab^(DX) across the Jordan east of Jericho.^(DY) ³³But to the tribe of Levi, Moses had given no inheritance;^(DZ) the Lord, the God of Israel, is their inheritance,^(EA) as he promised them.^(EB)
