11:1It happened, when Jabin king of Hazor heard of it, that he sent to Jobab king of Madon, and to the king of Shimron, and to the king of Achshaph,11:2and to the kings who were on the north, in the hill country, and in the Arabah south of Chinneroth, and in the lowland, and in the heights of Dor on the west,11:3to the Canaanite on the east and on the west, and the Amorite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, and the Jebusite in the hill country, and the Hivite under Hermon in the land of Mizpah.11:4They went out, they and all their armies with them, much people, even as the sand that is on the seashore in multitude, with horses and chariots very many.11:5All these kings met together; and they came and encamped together at the waters of Merom, to fight with Israel.11:6Yahweh said to Joshua, Don't be afraid because of them; for tomorrow at this time will I deliver them up all slain before Israel: you shall hamstring their horses, and burn their chariots with fire.11:7So Joshua came, and all the people of war with him, against them by the waters of Merom suddenly, and fell on them.11:8Yahweh delivered them into the hand of Israel, and they struck them, and chased them to great Sidon, and to Misrephoth Maim, and to the valley of Mizpeh eastward; and they struck them, until they left them none remaining.11:9Joshua did to them as Yahweh bade him: he hamstrung their horses, and burnt their chariots with fire.11:10Joshua turned back at that time, and took Hazor, and struck its king with the sword: for Hazor before was the head of all those kingdoms.11:11They struck all the souls who were therein with the edge of the sword, utterly destroying them; there was none left who breathed: and he burnt Hazor with fire.11:12All the cities of those kings, and all the kings of them, did Joshua take, and he struck them with the edge of the sword, and utterly destroyed them; as Moses the servant of Yahweh commanded.11:13But as for the cities that stood on their mounds, Israel burned none of them, save Hazor only; that did Joshua burn.11:14All the spoil of these cities, and the livestock, the children of Israel took for a prey to themselves; but every man they struck with the edge of the sword, until they had destroyed them, neither left they any who breathed.11:15As Yahweh commanded Moses his servant, so did Moses command Joshua: and so did Joshua; he left nothing undone of all that Yahweh commanded Moses.11:16So Joshua took all that land, the hill country, and all the South, and all the land of Goshen, and the lowland, and the Arabah, and the hill country of Israel, and the lowland of the same;11:17from Mount Halak, that goes up to Seir, even to Baal Gad in the valley of Lebanon under Mount Hermon: and all their kings he took, and struck them, and put them to death.11:18Joshua made war a long time with all those kings.11:19There was not a city that made peace with the children of Israel, save the Hivites the inhabitants of Gibeon: they took all in battle.11:20For it was of Yahweh to harden their hearts, to come against Israel in battle, that he might utterly destroy them, that they might have no favor, but that he might destroy them, as Yahweh commanded Moses.11:21Joshua came at that time, and cut off the Anakim from the hill country, from Hebron, from Debir, from Anab, and from all the hill country of Judah, and from all the hill country of Israel: Joshua utterly destroyed them with their cities.11:22There was none of the Anakim left in the land of the children of Israel: only in Gaza, in Gath, and in Ashdod, did some remain.11:23So Joshua took the whole land, according to all that Yahweh spoke to Moses; and Joshua gave it for an inheritance to Israel according to their divisions by their tribes. The land had rest from war.
12:1Now these are the kings of the land, whom the children of Israel struck, and possessed their land beyond the Jordan toward the sunrise, from the valley of the Arnon to Mount Hermon, and all the Arabah eastward:12:2Sihon king of the Amorites, who lived in Heshbon, and ruled from Aroer, which is on the edge of the valley of the Arnon, andthe city that is inthe middle of the valley, and half Gilead, even to the river Jabbok, the border of the children of Ammon;12:3and the Arabah to the sea of Chinneroth, eastward, and to the sea of the Arabah, even the Salt Sea, eastward, the way to Beth Jeshimoth; and on the south, under the slopes of Pisgah:12:4and the border of Og king of Bashan, of the remnant of the Rephaim, who lived at Ashtaroth and at Edrei,12:5and ruled in Mount Hermon, and in Salecah, and in all Bashan, to the border of the Geshurites and the Maacathites, and half Gilead, the border of Sihon king of Heshbon.12:6Moses the servant of Yahweh and the children of Israel struck them: and Moses the servant of Yahweh gave it for a possession to the Reubenites, and the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh.12:7These are the kings of the land whom Joshua and the children of Israel struck beyond the Jordan westward, from Baal Gad in the valley of Lebanon even to Mount Halak, that goes up to Seir; and Joshua gave it to the tribes of Israel for a possession according to their divisions;12:8in the hill country, and in the lowland, and in the Arabah, and in the slopes, and in the wilderness, and in the South; the Hittite, the Amorite, and the Canaanite, the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite:12:9the king of Jericho, one; the king of Ai, which is beside Bethel, one;12:10the king of Jerusalem, one; the king of Hebron, one;12:11the king of Jarmuth, one; the king of Lachish, one;12:12the king of Eglon, one; the king of Gezer, one;12:13the king of Debir, one; the king of Geder, one;12:14the king of Hormah, one; the king of Arad, one;12:15the king of Libnah, one; the king of Adullam, one;12:16the king of Makkedah, one; the king of Bethel, one;12:17the king of Tappuah, one; the king of Hepher, one;12:18the king of Aphek, one; the king of Lassharon, one;12:19the king of Madon, one; the king of Hazor, one;12:20the king of Shimron Meron, one; the king of Achshaph, one;12:21the king of Taanach, one; the king of Megiddo, one;12:22the king of Kedesh, one; the king of Jokneam in Carmel, one;12:23the king of Dor in the height of Dor, one; the king of Goiim in Gilgal, one;12:24the king of Tirzah, one: all the kings thirty-one.
13:1Now Joshua was old and well stricken in years; and Yahweh said to him, You are old and well stricken in years, and there remains yet very much land to be possessed.13:2This is the land that yet remains: all the regions of the Philistines, and all the Geshurites;13:3from the Shihor, which is before Egypt, even to the border of Ekron northward,whichis reckoned to the Canaanites; the five lords of the Philistines; the Gazites, and the Ashdodites, the Ashkelonites, the Gittites, and the Ekronites; also the Avvim,13:4on the south; all the land of the Canaanites, and Mearah that belongs to the Sidonians, to Aphek, to the border of the Amorites;13:5and the land of the Gebalites, and all Lebanon, toward the sunrise, from Baal Gad under Mount Hermon to the entrance of Hamath;13:6all the inhabitants of the hill country from Lebanon to Misrephoth Maim, even all the Sidonians; them will I drive out from before the children of Israel: only allot you it to Israel for an inheritance, as I have commanded you.13:7Now therefore divide this land for an inheritance to the nine tribes, and the half-tribe of Manasseh.13:8With him the Reubenites and the Gadites received their inheritance, which Moses gave them, beyond the Jordan eastward, even as Moses the servant of Yahweh gave them:13:9from Aroer, that is on the edge of the valley of the Arnon, and the city that is in the middle of the valley, and all the plain of Medeba to Dibon;13:10and all the cities of Sihon king of the Amorites, who reigned in Heshbon, to the border of the children of Ammon;13:11and Gilead, and the border of the Geshurites and Maacathites, and all Mount Hermon, and all Bashan to Salecah;13:12all the kingdom of Og in Bashan, who reigned in Ashtaroth and in Edrei (the same was left of the remnant of the Rephaim); for these did Moses strike, and drove them out.13:13Nevertheless the children of Israel didn't drive out the Geshurites, nor the Maacathites: but Geshur and Maacath dwell in the midst of Israel to this day.13:14Only to the tribe of Levi he gave no inheritance; the offerings of Yahweh, the God of Israel, made by fire are his inheritance, as he spoke to him.13:15Moses gave to the tribe of the children of Reuben according to their families.13:16Their border was from Aroer, that is on the edge of the valley of the Arnon, and the city that is in the middle of the valley, and all the plain by Medeba;13:17Heshbon, and all its cities that are in the plain; Dibon, and Bamoth Baal, and Beth Baal Meon,13:18and Jahaz, and Kedemoth, and Mephaath,13:19and Kiriathaim, and Sibmah, and Zereth Shahar in the mount of the valley,13:20and Beth Peor, and the slopes of Pisgah, and Beth Jeshimoth,13:21and all the cities of the plain, and all the kingdom of Sihon king of the Amorites, who reigned in Heshbon, whom Moses struck with the chiefs of Midian, Evi, and Rekem, and Zur, and Hur, and Reba, the princes of Sihon, who lived in the land.13:22Balaam also the son of Beor, the soothsayer, did the children of Israel kill with the sword among the rest of their slain.13:23The border of the children of Reuben was the Jordan, and the borderof it. This was the inheritance of the children of Reuben according to their families, the cities and its villages.13:24Moses gave to the tribe of Gad, to the children of Gad, according to their families.13:25Their border was Jazer, and all the cities of Gilead, and half the land of the children of Ammon, to Aroer that is before Rabbah;13:26and from Heshbon to Ramath Mizpeh, and Betonim; and from Mahanaim to the border of Debir;13:27and in the valley, Beth Haram, and Beth Nimrah, and Succoth, and Zaphon, the rest of the kingdom of Sihon king of Heshbon, the Jordan and the borderof it, to the uttermost part of the sea of Chinnereth beyond the Jordan eastward.13:28This is the inheritance of the children of Gad according to their families, the cities and its villages.13:29Moses gaveinheritanceto the half-tribe of Manasseh: and it was for the half-tribe of the children of Manasseh according to their families.13:30Their border was from Mahanaim, all Bashan, all the kingdom of Og king of Bashan, and all the towns of Jair, which are in Bashan, sixty cities:13:31and half Gilead, and Ashtaroth, and Edrei, the cities of the kingdom of Og in Bashan, were for the children of Machir the son of Manasseh, even for the half of the children of Machir according to their families.13:32These are the inheritances which Moses distributed in the plains of Moab, beyond the Jordan at Jericho, eastward.13:33But to the tribe of Levi Moses gave no inheritance: Yahweh, the God of Israel, is their inheritance, as he spoke to them.
14:1These are the inheritances which the children of Israel took in the land of Canaan, which Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun, and the heads of the fathers'housesof the tribes of the children of Israel, distributed to them,14:2by the lot of their inheritance, as Yahweh commanded by Moses, for the nine tribes, and for the half-tribe.14:3For Moses had given the inheritance of the two tribes and the half-tribe beyond the Jordan: but to the Levites he gave no inheritance among them.14:4For the children of Joseph were two tribes, Manasseh and Ephraim: and they gave no portion to the Levites in the land, save cities to dwell in, with its suburbs for their livestock and for their substance.14:5As Yahweh commanded Moses, so the children of Israel did; and they divided the land.14:6Then the children of Judah drew near to Joshua in Gilgal: and Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite said to him, You know the thing that Yahweh spoke to Moses the man of God concerning me and concerning you in Kadesh Barnea.14:7Forty years old was I when Moses the servant of Yahweh sent me from Kadesh Barnea to spy out the land; and I brought him word again as it was in my heart.14:8Nevertheless my brothers who went up with me made the heart of the people melt; but I wholly followed Yahweh my God.14:9Moses swore on that day, saying, Surely the land whereon your foot has trodden shall be an inheritance to you and to your children forever, because you have wholly followed Yahweh my God.14:10Now, behold, Yahweh has kept me alive, as he spoke, these forty-five years, from the time that Yahweh spoke this word to Moses, while Israel walked in the wilderness: and now, behold, I am this day eighty-five years old.14:11As yet I am as strong this day as I as in the day that Moses sent me: as my strength was then, even so is my strength now, for war, and to go out and to come in.14:12Now therefore give me this hill country, of which Yahweh spoke in that day; for you heard in that day how the Anakim were there, and cities great and fortified: it may be that Yahweh will be with me, and I shall drive them out, as Yahweh spoke.14:13Joshua blessed him; and he gave Hebron to Caleb the son of Jephunneh for an inheritance.14:14Therefore Hebron became the inheritance of Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite to this day; because that he wholly followed Yahweh, the God of Israel.14:15Now the name of Hebron before was Kiriath Arba;which Arba wasthe greatest man among the Anakim. The land had rest from war.
15:1The lot for the tribe of the children of Judah according to their families was to the border of Edom, even to the wilderness of Zin southward, at the uttermost part of the south.15:2Their south border was from the uttermost part of the Salt Sea, from the bay that looks southward;15:3and it went out southward of the ascent of Akrabbim, and passed along to Zin, and went up by the south of Kadesh Barnea, and passed along by Hezron, and went up to Addar, and turned about to Karka;15:4and it passed along to Azmon, and went out at the brook of Egypt; and the goings out of the border were at the sea: this shall be your south border.15:5The east border was the Salt Sea, even to the end of the Jordan. The border of the north quarter was from the bay of the sea at the end of the Jordan;15:6and the border went up to Beth Hoglah, and passed along by the north of Beth Arabah; and the border went up to the stone of Bohan the son of Reuben;15:7and the border went up to Debir from the valley of Achor, and so northward, looking toward Gilgal, that is over against the ascent of Adummim, which is on the south side of the river; and the border passed along to the waters of En Shemesh, and the goings out of it were at En Rogel;15:8and the border went up by the valley of the son of Hinnom to the side of the Jebusite southward (the same is Jerusalem); and the border went up to the top of the mountain that lies before the valley of Hinnom westward, which is at the uttermost part of the valley of Rephaim northward;15:9and the border extended from the top of the mountain to the spring of the waters of Nephtoah, and went out to the cities of Mount Ephron; and the border extended to Baalah (the same is Kiriath Jearim);15:10and the border turned about from Baalah westward to Mount Seir, and passed along to the side of Mount Jearim on the north (the same is Chesalon), and went down to Beth Shemesh, and passed along by Timnah;15:11and the border went out to the side of Ekron northward; and the border extended to Shikkeron, and passed along to Mount Baalah, and went out at Jabneel; and the goings out of the border were at the sea.15:12The west border was to the great sea, and the borderof it. This is the border of the children of Judah according to their families.15:13To Caleb the son of Jephunneh he gave a portion among the children of Judah, according to the commandment of Yahweh to Joshua, even Kiriath Arba,which Arba wasthe father of Anak (the same is Hebron).15:14Caleb drove out there the three sons of Anak: Sheshai, and Ahiman, and Talmai, the children of Anak.15:15He went up there against the inhabitants of Debir: now the name of Debir before was Kiriath Sepher.15:16Caleb said, He who strikes Kiriath Sepher, and takes it, to him will I give Achsah my daughter as wife.15:17Othniel the son of Kenaz, the brother of Caleb, took it: and he gave him Achsah his daughter as wife.15:18It happened, when she cameto him, that she moved him to ask of her father a field: and she alighted from off her donkey; and Caleb said, What would you?15:19She said, Give me a blessing; for that you have set me in the land of the South, give me also springs of water. He gave her the upper springs and the lower springs.15:20This is the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Judah according to their families.15:21The uttermost cities of the tribe of the children of Judah toward the border of Edom in the South were Kabzeel, and Eder, and Jagur,15:22and Kinah, and Dimonah, and Adadah,15:23and Kedesh, and Hazor, and Ithnan,15:24Ziph, and Telem, and Bealoth,15:25Hazor Hadattah, Kerioth, Hezron (the same is Hazor),15:26Amam, and Shema, and Moladah,15:27and Hazar Gaddah, and Heshmon, and Beth Pelet,15:28and Hazar Shual, and Beersheba, and Biziothiah,15:29Baalah, and Iim, and Ezem,15:30and Eltolad, and Chesil, and Hormah,15:31and Ziklag, and Madmannah, and Sansannah,15:32and Lebaoth, and Shilhim, and Ain, and Rimmon: all the cities are twenty-nine, with their villages.15:33In the lowland, Eshtaol, and Zorah, and Ashnah,15:34and Zanoah, and En Gannim, Tappuah, and Enam,15:35Jarmuth, and Adullam, Socoh, and Azekah,15:36and Shaaraim, and Adithaim, and Gederah, and Gederothaim; fourteen cities with their villages.15:37Zenan, and Hadashah, and Migdal Gad,15:38and Dilean, and Mizpeh, and Joktheel,15:39Lachish, and Bozkath, and Eglon,15:40and Cabbon, and Lahmam, and Chitlish,15:41and Gederoth, Beth Dagon, and Naamah, and Makkedah; sixteen cities with their villages.15:42Libnah, and Ether, and Ashan,15:43and Iphtah, and Ashnah, and Nezib,15:44and Keilah, and Achzib, and Mareshah; nine cities with their villages.15:45Ekron, with its towns and its villages;15:46from Ekron even to the sea, all that were by the side of Ashdod, with their villages.15:47Ashdod, its towns and its villages; Gaza, its towns and its villages; to the brook of Egypt, and the great sea, and the borderof it.15:48In the hill country, Shamir, and Jattir, and Socoh,15:49and Dannah, and Kiriath Sannah (the same is Debir),15:50and Anab, and Eshtemoh, and Anim,15:51and Goshen, and Holon, and Giloh; eleven cities with their villages.15:52Arab, and Dumah, and Eshan,15:53and Janim, and Beth Tappuah, and Aphekah,15:54and Humtah, and Kiriath Arba (the same is Hebron), and Zior; nine cities with their villages.15:55Maon, Carmel, and Ziph, and Jutah,15:56and Jezreel, and Jokdeam, and Zanoah,15:57Kain, Gibeah, and Timnah; ten cities with their villages.15:58Halhul, Beth Zur, and Gedor,15:59and Maarath, and Beth Anoth, and Eltekon; six cities with their villages.15:60Kiriath Baal (the same is Kiriath Jearim), and Rabbah; two cities with their villages.15:61In the wilderness, Beth Arabah, Middin, and Secacah,15:62and Nibshan, and the City of Salt, and En Gedi; six cities with their villages.15:63As for the Jebusites, the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the children of Judah couldn't drive them out: but the Jebusites dwell with the children of Judah at Jerusalem to this day.
16:1The lot came out for the children of Joseph from the Jordan at Jericho, at the waters of Jericho on the east, even the wilderness, going up from Jericho through the hill country to Bethel;16:2and it went out from Bethel to Luz, and passed along to the border of the Archites to Ataroth;16:3and it went down westward to the border of the Japhletites, to the border of Beth Horon the lower, even to Gezer; and the goings out of it were at the sea.16:4The children of Joseph, Manasseh and Ephraim, took their inheritance.16:5The border of the children of Ephraim according to their families wasthus: the border of their inheritance eastward was Ataroth Addar, to Beth Horon the upper;16:6and the border went out westward at Michmethath on the north; and the border turned about eastward to Taanath Shiloh, and passed along it on the east of Janoah;16:7and it went down from Janoah to Ataroth, and to Naarah, and reached to Jericho, and went out at the Jordan.16:8From Tappuah the border went along westward to the brook of Kanah; and the goings out of it were at the sea. This is the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Ephraim according to their families;16:9together with the cities which were set apart for the children of Ephraim in the midst of the inheritance of the children of Manasseh, all the cities with their villages.16:10They didn't drive out the Canaanites who lived in Gezer: but the Canaanites dwell in the midst of Ephraim to this day, and are become servants to do forced labor.
17:1Thiswas the lot for the tribe of Manasseh; for he was the firstborn of Joseph. As for Machir the firstborn of Manasseh, the father of Gilead, because he was a man of war, therefore he had Gilead and Bashan.17:2Sothe lotwas for the rest of the children of Manasseh according to their families: for the children of Abiezer, and for the children of Helek, and for the children of Asriel, and for the children of Shechem, and for the children of Hepher, and for the children of Shemida: these were the male children of Manasseh the son of Joseph according to their families.17:3But Zelophehad, the son of Hepher, the son of Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, had no sons, but daughters: and these are the names of his daughters: Mahlah, and Noah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Tirzah.17:4They came near before Eleazar the priest, and before Joshua the son of Nun, and before the princes, saying, Yahweh commanded Moses to give us an inheritance among our brothers: therefore according to the commandment of Yahweh he gave them an inheritance among the brothers of their father.17:5There fell ten parts to Manasseh, besides the land of Gilead and Bashan, which is beyond the Jordan;17:6because the daughters of Manasseh had an inheritance among his sons. The land of Gilead belonged to the rest of the sons of Manasseh.17:7The border of Manasseh was from Asher to Michmethath, which is before Shechem; and the border went along to the right hand, to the inhabitants of En Tappuah.17:8The land of Tappuah belonged to Manasseh; but Tappuah on the border of Manasseh belonged to the children of Ephraim.17:9The border went down to the brook of Kanah, southward of the brook: these cities belonged to Ephraim among the cities of Manasseh: and the border of Manasseh was on the north side of the brook, and the goings out of it were at the sea:17:10southward it was Ephraim's, and northward it was Manasseh's, and the sea was his border; and they reached to Asher on the north, and to Issachar on the east.17:11Manasseh had in Issachar and in Asher Beth Shean and its towns, and Ibleam and its towns, and the inhabitants of Dor and its towns, and the inhabitants of Endor and its towns, and the inhabitants of Taanach and its towns, and the inhabitants of Megiddo and its towns, even the three heights.17:12Yet the children of Manasseh couldn't drive outthe inhabitants ofthose cities; but the Canaanites would dwell in that land.17:13It happened, when the children of Israel had grown strong, that they put the Canaanites to forced labor, and didn't utterly drive them out.17:14The children of Joseph spoke to Joshua, saying, Why have you given me but one lot and one part for an inheritance, seeing I am a great people, because hitherto Yahweh has blessed me?17:15Joshua said to them, If you are a great people, go up to the forest, and cut down for yourself there in the land of the Perizzites and of the Rephaim; since the hill country of Ephraim is too narrow for you.17:16The children of Joseph said, The hill country is not enough for us: and all the Canaanites who dwell in the land of the valley have chariots of iron, both they who are in Beth Shean and its towns, and they who are in the valley of Jezreel.17:17Joshua spoke to the house of Joseph, even to Ephraim and to Manasseh, saying, You are a great people, and have great power; you shall not have one lot only:17:18but the hill country shall be yours; for though it is a forest, you shall cut it down, and the goings out of it shall be yours; for you shall drive out the Canaanites, though they have chariots of iron, and though they are strong.
18:1The whole congregation of the children of Israel assembled themselves together at Shiloh, and set up the Tent of Meeting there: and the land was subdued before them.18:2There remained among the children of Israel seven tribes, which had not yet divided their inheritance.18:3Joshua said to the children of Israel, How long are you slack to go in to possess the land, which Yahweh, the God of your fathers, has given you?18:4Appoint for you three men of each tribe: and I will send them, and they shall arise, and walk through the land, and describe it according to their inheritance; and they shall come to me.18:5They shall divide it into seven portions: Judah shall abide in his border on the south, and the house of Joseph shall abide in their border on the north.18:6You shall describe the land into seven portions, and bringthe descriptionhere to me; and I will cast lots for you here before Yahweh our God.18:7For the Levites have no portion among you; for the priesthood of Yahweh is their inheritance: and Gad and Reuben and the half-tribe of Manasseh have received their inheritance beyond the Jordan eastward, which Moses the servant of Yahweh gave them.18:8The men arose, and went: and Joshua commanded those who went to describe the land, saying, Go and walk through the land, and describe it, and come again to me; and I will cast lots for you here before Yahweh in Shiloh.18:9The men went and passed through the land, and described it by cities into seven portions in a book; and they came to Joshua to the camp at Shiloh.18:10Joshua cast lots for them in Shiloh before Yahweh: and there Joshua divided the land to the children of Israel according to their divisions.18:11The lot of the tribe of the children of Benjamin came up according to their families: and the border of their lot went out between the children of Judah and the children of Joseph.18:12Their border on the north quarter was from the Jordan; and the border went up to the side of Jericho on the north, and went up through the hill country westward; and the goings out of it were at the wilderness of Beth Aven.18:13The border passed along from there to Luz, to the side of Luz (the same is Bethel), southward; and the border went down to Ataroth Addar, by the mountain that lies on the south of Beth Horon the lower.18:14The border extendedthere, and turned about on the west quarter southward, from the mountain that lies before Beth Horon southward; and the goings out of it were at Kiriath Baal (the same is Kiriath Jearim), a city of the children of Judah: this was the west quarter.18:15The south quarter was from the uttermost part of Kiriath Jearim; and the border went out westward, and went out to the spring of the waters of Nephtoah;18:16and the border went down to the uttermost part of the mountain that lies before the valley of the son of Hinnom, which is in the valley of Rephaim northward; and it went down to the valley of Hinnom, to the side of the Jebusite southward, and went down to En Rogel;18:17and it extended northward, and went out at En Shemesh, and went out to Geliloth, which is over against the ascent of Adummim; and it went down to the stone of Bohan the son of Reuben;18:18and it passed along to the side over against the Arabah northward, and went down to the Arabah;18:19and the border passed along to the side of Beth Hoglah northward; and the goings out of the border were at the north bay of the Salt Sea, at the south end of the Jordan: this was the south border.18:20The Jordan was its border on the east quarter. This was the inheritance of the children of Benjamin, by the borders around it, according to their families.18:21Now the cities of the tribe of the children of Benjamin according to their families were Jericho, and Beth Hoglah, and Emek Keziz,18:22and Beth Arabah, and Zemaraim, and Bethel,18:23and Avvim, and Parah, and Ophrah,18:24and Chephar Ammoni, and Ophni, and Geba; twelve cities with their villages:18:25Gibeon, and Ramah, and Beeroth,18:26and Mizpeh, and Chephirah, and Mozah,18:27and Rekem, and Irpeel, and Taralah,18:28and Zelah, Eleph, and the Jebusite (the same is Jerusalem), Gibeath,andKiriath; fourteen cities with their villages. This is the inheritance of the children of Benjamin according to their families.
19:1The second lot came out for Simeon, even for the tribe of the children of Simeon according to their families: and their inheritance was in the midst of the inheritance of the children of Judah.19:2They had for their inheritance Beersheba, or Sheba, and Moladah,19:3and Hazar Shual, and Balah, and Ezem,19:4and Eltolad, and Bethul, and Hormah,19:5and Ziklag, and Beth Marcaboth, and Hazar Susah,19:6and Beth Lebaoth, and Sharuhen; thirteen cities with their villages:19:7Ain, Rimmon, and Ether, and Ashan; four cities with their villages:19:8and all the villages that were around these cities to Baalath Beer, Ramah of the South. This is the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Simeon according to their families.19:9Out of the part of the children of Judah was the inheritance of the children of Simeon; for the portion of the children of Judah was too much for them: therefore the children of Simeon had inheritance in the midst of their inheritance.19:10The third lot came up for the children of Zebulun according to their families; and the border of their inheritance was to Sarid;19:11and their border went up westward, even to Maralah, and reached to Dabbesheth; and it reached to the brook that is before Jokneam;19:12and it turned from Sarid eastward toward the sunrise to the border of Chisloth Tabor; and it went out to Daberath, and went up to Japhia;19:13and from there it passed along eastward to Gath Hepher, to Ethkazin; and it went out at Rimmon which stretches to Neah;19:14and the border turned about it on the north to Hannathon; and the goings out of it were at the valley of Iphtah El;19:15and Kattath, and Nahalal, and Shimron, and Idalah, and Bethlehem: twelve cities with their villages.19:16This is the inheritance of the children of Zebulun according to their families, these cities with their villages.19:17The fourth lot came out for Issachar, even for the children of Issachar according to their families.19:18Their border was to Jezreel, and Chesulloth, and Shunem,19:19and Hapharaim, and Shion, and Anaharath,19:20and Rabbith, and Kishion, and Ebez,19:21and Remeth, and Engannim, and En Haddah, and Beth Pazzez,19:22and the border reached to Tabor, and Shahazumah, and Beth Shemesh; and the goings out of their border were at the Jordan: sixteen cities with their villages.19:23This is the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Issachar according to their families, the cities with their villages.19:24The fifth lot came out for the tribe of the children of Asher according to their families.19:25Their border was Helkath, and Hali, and Beten, and Achshaph,19:26and Allammelech, and Amad, and Mishal; and it reached to Carmel westward, and to Shihorlibnath;19:27and it turned toward the sunrise to Beth Dagon, and reached to Zebulun, and to the valley of Iphtah El northward to Beth Emek and Neiel; and it went out to Cabul on the left hand,19:28and Ebron, and Rehob, and Hammon, and Kanah, even to great Sidon;19:29and the border turned to Ramah, and to the fortified city of Tyre; and the border turned to Hosah; and the goings out of it were at the sea by the region of Achzib;19:30Ummah also, and Aphek, and Rehob: twenty-two cities with their villages.19:31This is the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Asher according to their families, these cities with their villages.19:32The sixth lot came out for the children of Naphtali, even for the children of Naphtali according to their families.19:33Their border was from Heleph, from the oak in Zaanannim, and Adaminekeb, and Jabneel, to Lakkum; and the goings out of it were at the Jordan;19:34and the border turned westward to Aznoth Tabor, and went out from there to Hukkok; and it reached to Zebulun on the south, and reached to Asher on the west, and to Judah at the Jordan toward the sunrise.19:35The fortified cities were Ziddim, Zer, and Hammath, Rakkath, and Chinnereth,19:36and Adamah, and Ramah, and Hazor,19:37and Kedesh, and Edrei, and En Hazor,19:38Iron, and Migdal El, Horem, and Beth Anath, and Beth Shemesh; nineteen cities with their villages.19:39This is the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Naphtali according to their families, the cities with their villages.19:40The seventh lot came out for the tribe of the children of Dan according to their families.19:41The border of their inheritance was Zorah, and Eshtaol, and Irshemesh,19:42and Shaalabbin, and Aijalon, and Ithlah,19:43and Elon, and Timnah, and Ekron,19:44and Eltekeh, and Gibbethon, and Baalath,19:45and Jehud, and Bene Berak, and Gath Rimmon,19:46and Me Jarkon, and Rakkon, with the border over against Joppa.19:47The border of the children of Dan went out beyond them; for the children of Dan went up and fought against Leshem, and took it, and struck it with the edge of the sword, and possessed it, and lived therein, and called Leshem, Dan, after the name of Dan their father.19:48This is the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Dan according to their families, these cities with their villages.19:49So they made an end of distributing the land for inheritance by its borders; and the children of Israel gave an inheritance to Joshua the son of Nun in the midst of them:19:50according to the commandment of Yahweh they gave him the city which he asked, even Timnathserah in the hill country of Ephraim; and he built the city, and lived therein.19:51These are the inheritances, which Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun, and the heads of the fathers'housesof the tribes of the children of Israel, distributed for inheritance by lot in Shiloh before Yahweh, at the door of the Tent of Meeting. So they made an end of dividing the land.
20:1Yahweh spoke to Joshua, saying,20:2Speak to the children of Israel, saying, Assign you the cities of refuge, of which I spoke to you by Moses,20:3that the manslayer who kills any person unwittinglyandunawares may flee there: and they shall be to you for a refuge from the avenger of blood.20:4He shall flee to one of those cities, and shall stand at the entrance of the gate of the city, and declare his cause in the ears of the elders of that city; and they shall take him into the city to them, and give him a place, that he may dwell among them.20:5If the avenger of blood pursue after him, then they shall not deliver up the manslayer into his hand; because he struck his neighbor unawares, and didn't hate him before.20:6He shall dwell in that city, until he stand before the congregation for judgment, until the death of the high priest that shall be in those days: then shall the manslayer return, and come to his own city, and to his own house, to the city from whence he fled.20:7They set apart Kedesh in Galilee in the hill country of Naphtali, and Shechem in the hill country of Ephraim, and Kiriath Arba (the same is Hebron) in the hill country of Judah.20:8Beyond the Jordan at Jericho eastward, they assigned Bezer in the wilderness in the plain out of the tribe of Reuben, and Ramoth in Gilead out of the tribe of Gad, and Golan in Bashan out of the tribe of Manasseh.20:9These were the appointed cities for all the children of Israel, and for the stranger who sojourns among them, that whoever kills any person unwittingly might flee there, and not die by the hand of the avenger of blood, until he stood before the congregation.
21:1Then came near the heads of fathers'housesof the Levites to Eleazar the priest, and to Joshua the son of Nun, and to the heads of fathers'housesof the tribes of the children of Israel;21:2and they spoke to them at Shiloh in the land of Canaan, saying, Yahweh commanded Moses to give us cities to dwell in, with its suburbs for our livestock.21:3The children of Israel gave to the Levites out of their inheritance, according to the commandment of Yahweh, these cities with their suburbs.21:4The lot came out for the families of the Kohathites: and the children of Aaron the priest, who were of the Levites, had by lot out of the tribe of Judah, and out of the tribe of the Simeonites, and out of the tribe of Benjamin, thirteen cities.21:5The rest of the children of Kohath had by lot out of the families of the tribe of Ephraim, and out of the tribe of Dan, and out of the half-tribe of Manasseh, ten cities.21:6The children of Gershon had by lot out of the families of the tribe of Issachar, and out of the tribe of Asher, and out of the tribe of Naphtali, and out of the half-tribe of Manasseh in Bashan, thirteen cities.21:7The children of Merari according to their families had out of the tribe of Reuben, and out of the tribe of Gad, and out of the tribe of Zebulun, twelve cities.21:8The children of Israel gave by lot to the Levites these cities with their suburbs, as Yahweh commanded by Moses.21:9They gave out of the tribe of the children of Judah, and out of the tribe of the children of Simeon, these cities which areherementioned by name:21:10and they were for the children of Aaron, of the families of the Kohathites, who were of the children of Levi; for theirs was the first lot.21:11They gave them Kiriath Arba,which Arba wasthe father of Anak (the same is Hebron), in the hill country of Judah, with its suburbs around it.21:12But the fields of the city, and its villages, gave they to Caleb the son of Jephunneh for his possession.21:13To the children of Aaron the priest they gave Hebron with its suburbs, the city of refuge for the manslayer, and Libnah with its suburbs,21:14and Jattir with its suburbs, and Eshtemoa with its suburbs,21:15and Holon with its suburbs, and Debir with its suburbs,21:16and Ain with its suburbs, and Juttah with its suburbs,andBeth Shemesh with its suburbs; nine cities out of those two tribes.21:17Out of the tribe of Benjamin, Gibeon with its suburbs, Geba with its suburbs,21:18Anathoth with its suburbs, and Almon with its suburbs; four cities.21:19All the cities of the children of Aaron, the priests, were thirteen cities with their suburbs.21:20The families of the children of Kohath, the Levites, even the rest of the children of Kohath, they had the cities of their lot out of the tribe of Ephraim.21:21They gave them Shechem with its suburbs in the hill country of Ephraim, the city of refuge for the manslayer, and Gezer with its suburbs,21:22and Kibzaim with its suburbs, and Beth Horon with its suburbs; four cities.21:23Out of the tribe of Dan, Elteke with its suburbs, Gibbethon with its suburbs,21:24Aijalon with its suburbs, Gath Rimmon with its suburbs; four cities.21:25Out of the half-tribe of Manasseh, Taanach with its suburbs, and Gath Rimmon with its suburbs; two cities.21:26All the cities of the families of the rest of the children of Kohath were ten with their suburbs.21:27To the children of Gershon, of the families of the Levites, out of the half-tribe of Manassehthey gaveGolan in Bashan with its suburbs, the city of refuge for the manslayer, and Be Eshterah with its suburbs; two cities.21:28Out of the tribe of Issachar, Kishion with its suburbs, Daberath with its suburbs,21:29Jarmuth with its suburbs, En Gannim with its suburbs; four cities.21:30Out of the tribe of Asher, Mishal with its suburbs, Abdon with its suburbs,21:31Helkath with its suburbs, and Rehob with its suburbs;

four cities in all.21:40Allthese werethe cities of the children of Merari according to their families, even the rest of the families of the Levites; and their lot was twelve cities.21:41All the cities of the Levites in the midst of the possession of the children of Israel were forty-eight cities with their suburbs.21:42These cities were every one with their suburbs around them: thus it was with all these cities.21:43So Yahweh gave to Israel all the land which he swore to give to their fathers; and they possessed it, and lived therein.21:44Yahweh gave them rest all around, according to all that he swore to their fathers: and there stood not a man of all their enemies before them; Yahweh delivered all their enemies into their hand.21:45There failed not anything of any good thing which Yahweh had spoken to the house of Israel; all came to pass.
22:1Then Joshua called the Reubenites, and the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh,22:2and said to them, You have kept all that Moses the servant of Yahweh commanded you, and have listened to my voice in all that I commanded you:22:3you have not left your brothers these many days to this day, but have performed the duty of the commandment of Yahweh your God.22:4Now Yahweh your God has given rest to your brothers, as he spoke to them: therefore now turn you, and get you to your tents, to the land of your possession, which Moses the servant of Yahweh gave you beyond the Jordan.22:5Only take diligent heed to do the commandment and the law which Moses the servant of Yahweh commanded you, to love Yahweh your God, and to walk in all his ways, and to keep his commandments, and to cleave to him, and to serve him with all your heart and with all your soul.22:6So Joshua blessed them, and sent them away; and they went to their tents.22:7Now to the one half-tribe of Manasseh Moses had giveninheritancein Bashan; but to the other half gave Joshua among their brothers beyond the Jordan westward; moreover when Joshua sent them away to their tents, he blessed them,22:8and spoke to them, saying, Return with much wealth to your tents, and with very much livestock, with silver, and with gold, and with brass, and with iron, and with very much clothing: divide the spoil of your enemies with your brothers.22:9The children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the half-tribe of Manasseh returned, and departed from the children of Israel out of Shiloh, which is in the land of Canaan, to go to the land of Gilead, to the land of their possession, which they owned, according to the commandment of Yahweh by Moses.22:10When they came to the region about the Jordan, that is in the land of Canaan, the children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the half-tribe of Manasseh built there an altar by the Jordan, a great altar to look on.22:11The children of Israel heard say, Behold, the children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the half-tribe of Manasseh have built an altar in the forefront of the land of Canaan, in the region about the Jordan, on the side that pertains to the children of Israel.22:12When the children of Israel heard of it, the whole congregation of the children of Israel gathered themselves together at Shiloh, to go up against them to war.22:13The children of Israel sent to the children of Reuben, and to the children of Gad, and to the half-tribe of Manasseh, into the land of Gilead, Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest,22:14and with him ten princes, one prince of a fathers' house for each of the tribes of Israel; and they were everyone of them head of their fathers' houses among the thousands of Israel.22:15They came to the children of Reuben, and to the children of Gad, and to the half-tribe of Manasseh, to the land of Gilead, and they spoke with them, saying,22:16Thus says the whole congregation of Yahweh, What trespass is this that you have committed against the God of Israel, to turn away this day from following Yahweh, in that you have built you an altar, to rebel this day against Yahweh?22:17Is the iniquity of Peor too little for us, from which we have not cleansed ourselves to this day, although there came a plague on the congregation of Yahweh,22:18that you must turn away this day from following Yahweh? and it will be, seeing you rebel today against Yahweh, that tomorrow he will be angry with the whole congregation of Israel.22:19However, if the land of your possession be unclean, then pass over to the land of the possession of Yahweh, in which Yahweh's tent dwells, and take possession among us: but don't rebel against Yahweh, nor rebel against us, in building you an altar besides the altar of Yahweh our God.22:20Didn't Achan the son of Zerah commit a trespass in the devoted thing, and wrath fell on all the congregation of Israel? and that man didn't perish alone in his iniquity.22:21Then the children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the half-tribe of Manasseh answered, and spoke to the heads of the thousands of Israel,22:22The Mighty One, God, Yahweh, the Mighty One, God, Yahweh, he knows; and Israel he shall know: if it be in rebellion, or if in trespass against Yahweh (don't save us this day),22:23that we have built us an altar to turn away from following Yahweh; or if to offer thereon burnt offering or meal offering, or if to offer sacrifices of peace offerings thereon, let Yahweh himself require it;22:24and if we have notratherout of carefulness done this,andof purpose, saying, In time to come your children might speak to our children, saying, What have you to do with Yahweh, the God of Israel?22:25for Yahweh has made the Jordan a border between us and you, you children of Reuben and children of Gad; you have no portion in Yahweh: so might your children make our children cease from fearing Yahweh.22:26Therefore we said, Let us now prepare to build us an altar, not for burnt offering, nor for sacrifice:22:27but it shall be a witness between us and you, and between our generations after us, that we may do the service of Yahweh before him with our burnt offerings, and with our sacrifices, and with our peace offerings; that your children may not tell our children in time to come, You have no portion in Yahweh.22:28Therefore said we, It shall be, when they so tell us or to our generations in time to come, that we shall say, Behold the pattern of the altar of Yahweh, which our fathers made, not for burnt offering, nor for sacrifice; but it is a witness between us and you.22:29Far be it from us that we should rebel against Yahweh, and turn away this day from following Yahweh, to build an altar for burnt offering, for meal offering, or for sacrifice, besides the altar of Yahweh our God that is before his tent.22:30When Phinehas the priest, and the princes of the congregation, even the heads of the thousands of Israel that were with him, heard the words that the children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the children of Manasseh spoke, it pleased them well.22:31Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest said to the children of Reuben, and to the children of Gad, and to the children of Manasseh, This day we know that Yahweh is in the midst of us, because you have not committed this trespass against Yahweh: now have you delivered the children of Israel out of the hand of Yahweh.22:32Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest, and the princes, returned from the children of Reuben, and from the children of Gad, out of the land of Gilead, to the land of Canaan, to the children of Israel, and brought them word again.22:33The thing pleased the children of Israel; and the children of Israel blessed God, and spoke no more of going up against them to war, to destroy the land in which the children of Reuben and the children of Gad lived.22:34The children of Reuben and the children of Gad called the altarEd: For,said they, it is a witness between us that Yahweh is God.
23:1It happened after many days, when Yahweh had given rest to Israel from their enemies all around, and Joshua was old and well stricken in years;23:2that Joshua called for all Israel, for their elders and for their heads, and for their judges and for their officers, and said to them, I am old and well stricken in years:23:3and you have seen all that Yahweh your God has done to all these nations because of you; for Yahweh your God, he it is that has fought for you.23:4Behold, I have allotted to you these nations that remain, to be an inheritance for your tribes, from the Jordan, with all the nations that I have cut off, even to the great sea toward the going down of the sun.23:5Yahweh your God, he will thrust them out from before you, and drive them from out of your sight; and you shall possess their land, as Yahweh your God spoke to you.23:6Therefore be you very courageous to keep and to do all that is written in the book of the law of Moses, that you not turn aside from it to the right hand or to the left;23:7that you not come among these nations, these that remain among you; neither make mention of the name of their gods, nor cause to swearby them, neither serve them, nor bow down yourselves to them;23:8but cleave to Yahweh your God, as you have done to this day.23:9For Yahweh has driven out from before you great nations and strong: but as for you, no man has stood before you to this day.23:10One man of you shall chase a thousand; for Yahweh your God, he it is who fights for you, as he spoke to you.23:11Take good heed therefore to yourselves, that you love Yahweh your God.23:12Else if you do at all go back, and cleave to the remnant of these nations, even these who remain among you, and make marriages with them, and go in to them, and they to you;23:13know for a certainty that Yahweh your God will no more drive these nations from out of your sight; but they shall be a snare and a trap to you, and a scourge in your sides, and thorns in your eyes, until you perish from off this good land which Yahweh your God has given you.23:14Behold, this day I am going the way of all the earth: and you know in all your hearts and in all your souls, that not one thing has failed of all the good things which Yahweh your God spoke concerning you; all are happen to you, not one thing has failed of it.23:15It shall happen, that as all the good things are come on you of which Yahweh your God spoke to you, so will Yahweh bring on you all the evil things, until he have destroyed you from off this good land which Yahweh your God has given you.23:16When you disobey the covenant of Yahweh your God, which he commanded you, and go and serve other gods, and bow down yourselves to them; then will the anger of Yahweh be kindled against you, and you shall perish quickly from off the good land which he has given to you.
24:1Joshua gathered all the tribes of Israel to Shechem, and called for the elders of Israel, and for their heads, and for their judges, and for their officers; and they presented themselves before God.24:2Joshua said to all the people, Thus says Yahweh, the God of Israel, Your fathers lived of old time beyond the River, even Terah, the father of Abraham, and the father of Nahor: and they served other gods.24:3I took your father Abraham from beyond the River, and led him throughout all the land of Canaan, and multiplied his seed, and gave him Isaac.24:4I gave to Isaac Jacob and Esau: and I gave to Esau Mount Seir, to possess it: and Jacob and his children went down into Egypt.24:5I sent Moses and Aaron, and I plagued Egypt, according to that which I did in its midst: and afterward I brought you out.24:6I brought your fathers out of Egypt: and you came to the sea; and the Egyptians pursued after your fathers with chariots and with horsemen to theRed Sea.24:7When they cried out to Yahweh, he put darkness between you and the Egyptians, and brought the sea on them, and covered them; and your eyes saw what I did in Egypt: and you lived in the wilderness many days.24:8I brought you into the land of the Amorites, that lived beyond the Jordan: and they fought with you; and I gave them into your hand, and you possessed their land; and I destroyed them from before you.24:9Then Balak the son of Zippor, king of Moab, arose and fought against Israel: and he sent and called Balaam the son of Beor to curse you;24:10but I would not listen to Balaam; therefore he blessed you still: so I delivered you out of his hand.24:11You went over the Jordan, and came to Jericho: and the men of Jericho fought against you, the Amorite, and the Perizzite, and the Canaanite, and the Hittite, and the Girgashite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite; and I delivered them into your hand.24:12I sent the hornet before you, which drove them out from before you, even the two kings of the Amorites; not with your sword, nor with your bow.24:13I gave you a land whereon you had not labored, and cities which you didn't build, and you dwell therein; of vineyards and olive groves which you didn't plant do you eat.24:14Now therefore fear Yahweh, and serve him in sincerity and in truth; and put away the gods which your fathers served beyond the River, and in Egypt; and serve you Yahweh.24:15If it seem evil to you to serve Yahweh, choose this day whom you will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were beyond the River, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve Yahweh.24:16The people answered, Far be it from us that we should forsake Yahweh, to serve other gods;24:17for Yahweh our God, he it is who brought us and our fathers up out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage, and who did those great signs in our sight, and preserved us in all the way in which we went, and among all the peoples through the midst of whom we passed;24:18and Yahweh drove out from before us all the peoples, even the Amorites who lived in the land: therefore we also will serve Yahweh; for he is our God.24:19Joshua said to the people, You can't serve Yahweh; for he is a holy God; he is a jealous God; he will not forgive your disobedience nor your sins.24:20If you forsake Yahweh, and serve foreign gods, then he will turn and do you evil, and consume you, after that he has done you good.24:21The people said to Joshua, No; but we will serve Yahweh.24:22Joshua said to the people, You are witnesses against yourselves that you have chosen you Yahweh, to serve him. They said, We are witnesses.24:23Now therefore put away,said he, the foreign gods which are among you, and incline your heart to Yahweh, the God of Israel.24:24The people said to Joshua, Yahweh our God will we serve, and to his voice will we listen.24:25So Joshua made a covenant with the people that day, and set them a statute and an ordinance in Shechem.24:26Joshua wrote these words in the book of the law of God; and he took a great stone, and set it up there under the oak that was by the sanctuary of Yahweh.24:27Joshua said to all the people, Behold, this stone shall be a witness against us; for it has heard all the words of Yahweh which he spoke to us: it shall be therefore a witness against you, lest you deny your God.24:28So Joshua sent the people away, every man to his inheritance.24:29It happened after these things, that Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of Yahweh, died, being one hundred ten years old.24:30They buried him in the border of his inheritance in Timnathserah, which is in the hill country of Ephraim, on the north of the mountain of Gaash.24:31Israel served Yahweh all the days of Joshua, and all the days of the elders who outlived Joshua, and had known all the work of Yahweh, that he had worked for Israel.24:32The bones of Joseph, which the children of Israel brought up out of Egypt, buried they in Shechem, in the parcel of ground which Jacob bought of the sons of Hamor the father of Shechem for a hundred pieces of money: and they became the inheritance of the children of Joseph.24:33Eleazar the son of Aaron died; and they buried him in the hill of Phinehas his son, which was given him in the hill country of Ephraim.
