1 Era Josué, porém, já idoso, entrado em dias; e disse-lhe o Senhor: Já estás velho, entrado em dias, e ainda muitíssima terra ficou para se possuir. 2 Esta é a terra ainda não conquistada: todas as regiões dos filisteus e toda a Gesur; 3 desde Sior, que está defronte do Egito, até ao limite de Ecrom, para o norte, que se considera como dos cananeus; cinco príncipes dos filisteus: o de Gaza, o de Asdode, o de Asquelom, o de Gate e o de Ecrom; 4 ao sul, os aveus, também toda a terra dos cananeus e Meara, que é dos sidônios, até Afeca, ao limite dos amorreus; 5 e ainda a terra dos gibleus e todo o Líbano, para o nascente do sol, desde Baal-Gade, ao pé do monte Hermom, até à entrada de Hamate; 6 todos os que habitam nas montanhas desde o Líbano até Misrefote-Maim, todos os sidônios; eu os lançarei de diante dos filhos de Israel; reparte, pois, a terra por herança a Israel, como te ordenei. 7 Distribui, pois, agora, a terra por herança às nove tribos e à meia tribo de Manassés.

8 Com a outra meia tribo, os rubenitas e os gaditas já receberam a sua herança dalém do Jordão, para o oriente, como já lhes tinha dado Moisés, servo do Senhor. 9 Começando com Aroer, que está à borda do vale de Arnom, mais a cidade que está no meio do vale, todo o planalto de Medeba até Dibom; 10 e todas as cidades de Seom, rei dos amorreus, que reinou em Hesbom, até ao limite dos filhos de Amom. 11 E Gileade, e o limite dos gesuritas, e o dos maacatitas, e todo o monte Hermom, e toda a Basã até Salca; 12 todo o reino de Ogue, em Basã, que reinou em Astarote e em Edrei, que ficou do resto dos gigantes, o qual Moisés feriu e expulsou. 13 Porém os filhos de Israel não desapossaram os gesuritas, nem os maacatitas; antes, Gesur e Maacate permaneceram no meio de Israel até ao dia de hoje.

14 Tão somente à tribo de Levi não deu herança; as ofertas queimadas do Senhor, Deus de Israel, são a sua herança, como já lhe tinha dito. 15 Deu, pois, Moisés à tribo dos filhos de Rúben, segundo as suas famílias, 16 começando o seu território com Aroer, que está à borda do vale de Arnom, mais a cidade que está no meio do vale e todo o planalto até Medeba; 17 Hesbom e todas as suas cidades, que estão no planalto: Dibom, Bamote-Baal e Bete-Baal-Meom, 18 Jaza, Quedemote, Mefaate; 19 Quiriataim, Sibma, Zerete-Saar, no monte do vale; 20 Bete-Peor, as faldas de Pisga e Bete-Jesimote; 21 e todas as cidades do planalto e todo o reino de Seom, rei dos amorreus, que reinou em Hesbom, a quem Moisés feriu, como também os príncipes de Midiã, Evi, Requém, Zur, Hur e Reba, príncipes de Seom, moradores da terra. 22 Também os filhos de Israel mataram à espada Balaão, filho de Beor, o adivinho, com outros mais que mataram. 23 A fronteira dos filhos de Rúben é o Jordão e suas imediações; esta é a herança dos filhos de Rúben, segundo as suas famílias: as cidades com suas aldeias.

24 Deu Moisés a herança à tribo de Gade, a saber, a seus filhos, segundo as suas famílias. 25 Foi o seu território: Jazer, todas as cidades de Gileade e metade da terra dos filhos de Amom, até Aroer, que está defronte de Rabá; 26 desde Hesbom até Ramate-Mispa e Betonim; e desde Maanaim até ao limite de Debir; 27 e, no vale: Bete-Arã, Bete-Ninra, Sucote e Zafom, o resto do reino de Seom, rei de Hesbom, mais o Jordão e suas imediações, até à extremidade do mar de Quinerete, dalém do Jordão, para o oriente. 28 Esta é a herança dos filhos de Gade, segundo as suas famílias: as cidades com suas aldeias.

29 Deu também Moisés herança à meia tribo de Manassés, segundo as suas famílias. 30 Foi o seu território: começando com Maanaim, mais todo o Basã, todo o reino de Ogue, rei de Basã, e todas as aldeias de Jair, que estão em Basã, sessenta cidades; 31 e metade de Gileade, Astarote e Edrei, cidades do reino de Ogue, em Basã; estas foram dadas aos filhos de Maquir, filho de Manassés, a saber, à metade dos filhos de Maquir, segundo as suas famílias.

32 São estas as heranças que Moisés repartiu nas campinas de Moabe, dalém do Jordão, na altura de Jericó, para o oriente. 33 Porém à tribo de Levi Moisés não deu herança; o Senhor, Deus de Israel, é a sua herança, como já lhes tinha dito.

1 Now Joshua was old and well stricken in years; and Jehovah said unto him, Thou art old and well stricken in years, and there remaineth yet very much land to be possessed. 2 This is the land that yet remaineth: all the regions of the Philistines, and all the Geshurites; 3 from the Shihor, which is before Egypt, even unto the border of Ekron northward, which is 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, 4 on the south; all the land of the Canaanites, and Mearah that belongeth to the Sidonians, unto Aphek, to the border of the Amorites; 5 and the land of the Gebalites, and all Lebanon, toward the sunrising, from Baal-gad under mount Hermon unto the entrance of Hamath; 6 all the inhabitants of the hill-country from Lebanon unto Misrephoth-maim, even all the Sidonians; them will I drive out from before the children of Israel: only allot thou it unto Israel for an inheritance, as I have commanded thee. 7 Now therefore divide this land for an inheritance unto the nine tribes, and the half-tribe of Manasseh.

8 With him the Reubenites and the Gadites received their inheritance, which Moses gave them, beyond the Jordan eastward, even as Moses the servant of Jehovah gave them: 9 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 of Medeba unto Dibon; 10 and all the cities of Sihon king of the Amorites, who reigned in Heshbon, unto the border of the children of Ammon; 11 and Gilead, and the border of the Geshurites and Maacathites, and all mount Hermon, and all Bashan unto Salecah; 12 all 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 smite, and drove them out. 13 Nevertheless the children of Israel drove not out the Geshurites, nor the Maacathites: but Geshur and Maacath dwell in the midst of Israel unto this day. 14 Only unto the tribe of Levi he gave no inheritance; the offerings of Jehovah, the God of Israel, made by fire are his inheritance, as he spake unto him.

15 And Moses gave unto the tribe of the children of Reuben according to their families. 16 And their 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; 17 Heshbon, and all its cities that are in the plain; Dibon, and Bamoth-baal, and Beth-baal-meon, 18 and Jahaz, and Kedemoth, and Mephaath, 19 and Kiriathaim, and Sibmah, and Zereth-shahar in the mount of the valley, 20 and Beth-peor, and the slopes of Pisgah, and Beth-jeshimoth, 21 and all the cities of the plain, and all the kingdom of Sihon king of the Amorites, who reigned in Heshbon, whom Moses smote with the chiefs of Midian, Evi, and Rekem, and Zur, and Hur, and Reba, the princes of Sihon, that dwelt in the land. 22 Balaam also the son of Beor, the soothsayer, did the children of Israel slay with the sword among the rest of their slain. 23 And the border of the children of Reuben was the Jordan, and the border thereof. This was the inheritance of the children of Reuben according to their families, the cities and the villages thereof.

24 And Moses gave unto the tribe of Gad, unto the children of Gad, according to their families. 25 And their border was Jazer, and all the cities of Gilead, and half the land of the children of Ammon, unto Aroer that is before Rabbah; 26 and from Heshbon unto Ramath-mizpeh, and Betonim; and from Mahanaim unto the border of Debir; 27 and 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 border thereof, unto the uttermost part of the sea of Chinnereth beyond the Jordan eastward. 28 This is the inheritance of the children of Gad according to their families, the cities and the villages thereof.

29 And Moses gave inheritance unto the half-tribe of Manasseh: and it was for the half-tribe of the children of Manasseh according to their families. 30 And their border was from Mahanaim, all Bashan, all the kingdom of Og king of Bashan, and all the towns of Jair, which are in Bashan, threescore cities: 31 and 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.

32 These are the inheritances which Moses distributed in the plains of Moab, beyond the Jordan at Jericho, eastward. 33 But unto the tribe of Levi Moses gave no inheritance: Jehovah, the God of Israel, is their inheritance, as he spake unto them.

1 When Joshua had grown old, 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 and Geshurites,

3 from the Shihor River on the east of Egypt to the territory of Ekron on the north, all of it counted as Canaanite though held by the five Philistine rulers in Gaza, Ashdod, Ashkelon, Gath and Ekron; the territory of the Avvites

4 on the south; all the land of the Canaanites, from Arah of the Sidonians as far as Aphek and the border of the Amorites;

5 the area of Byblos; and all Lebanon to the east, from Baal Gad below Mount Hermon to Lebo Hamath.

6 "As for all the inhabitants of the mountain regions from Lebanon to Misrephoth Maim, that is, all the Sidonians, I myself will drive them out before the Israelites. Be sure to allocate this land to Israel for an inheritance, as I have instructed you,

7 and divide it as an inheritance among the nine tribes and half of the tribe of Manasseh."

8 The other half of Manasseh, "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 it to them.

9 It extended from Aroer on the rim of the Arnon Gorge, and from the town in the middle of the gorge, and included the whole plateau of Medeba as far as Dibon,

10 and all the towns of Sihon king of the Amorites, who ruled in Heshbon, out to the border of the Ammonites.

11 It also included Gilead, the territory of the people of Geshur and Maakah, all of Mount Hermon and all Bashan as far as Salekah —

12 that is, the whole kingdom of Og in Bashan, who had reigned in Ashtaroth and Edrei. (He was the last of the Rephaites.) Moses had defeated them and taken over their land.

13 But the Israelites did not drive out the people of Geshur and Maakah, so they continue to live among the Israelites to this day.

14 But 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.

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

16 The territory from Aroer on the rim of the Arnon Gorge, and from the town in the middle of the gorge, and the whole plateau past Medeba

17 to Heshbon and all its towns on the plateau, including Dibon, Bamoth Baal, Beth Baal Meon,

18 Jahaz, Kedemoth, Mephaath,

19 Kiriathaim, Sibmah, Zereth Shahar on the hill in the valley,

20 Beth Peor, the slopes of Pisgah, and Beth Jeshimoth —

21 all the towns on the plateau and the entire realm of Sihon king of the Amorites, who ruled at Heshbon. Moses had defeated him and the Midianite chiefs, Evi, Rekem, Zur, Hur and Reba —princes allied with Sihon —who lived in that country.

22 In addition to those slain in battle, the Israelites had put to the sword Balaam son of Beor, who practiced divination.

23 The 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.

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

25 The territory of Jazer, all the towns of Gilead and half the Ammonite country as far as Aroer, near Rabbah;

26 and from Heshbon to Ramath Mizpah and Betonim, and from Mahanaim to the territory of Debir;

27 and in the valley, Beth Haram, Beth Nimrah, Sukkoth and Zaphon 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 ").

28 These towns and their villages were the inheritance of the Gadites, according to their clans.

29 This 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:

30 The territory extending from Mahanaim and including all of Bashan, the entire realm of Og king of Bashan —all the settlements of Jair in Bashan, sixty towns,

31 half of Gilead, and Ashtaroth and Edrei (the royal cities of Og in Bashan). This was for the descendants of Makir son of Manasseh —for half of the sons of Makir, according to their clans.

32 This is the inheritance Moses had given when he was in the plains of Moab across the Jordan east of Jericho.

33 But to the tribe of Levi, Moses had given no inheritance; the LORD, the God of Israel, is their inheritance, as he promised them.
