Yusha 13

Now Yusha was old and well stricken in years; and Allah said to him, You are old and well stricken in years, and there remains yet very much land to be possessed. ²This is the land that yet remains: all the regions of the Philistines, and all the Geshurites; ³from the Shihor, which is before Egypt, even to 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, ⁴on the south; all the land of the Canaanites, and Mearah that belongs to the Sidonians, to Aphek, to the border of the Amorites; ⁵and the land of the Gebalites, and all Lebanon, toward the sunrise, from Baal Gad under Mount Hermon to the entrance of Hamath; ⁶all the inhabitants of the hill-country from Lebanon to Misrephoth Maim, even all the Sidonians; them will I drive out from before Bani-Israel: only allot it to Israel for an inheritance, as I have commanded you. ⁷Now therefore divide this land for an inheritance to the nine tribes, and the half-tribe of Manasseh. ⁸With him the Reubenites and the Gadites received their inheritance, which Musa gave them, beyond the Jordan eastward, even as Musa the servant of Allah gave them: 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; ¹⁰and all the cities of Sihon king of the Amorites, who reigned in Heshbon, to the border of the children of Ammon; ¹¹and Gilead, and the border of the Geshurites and Maacathites, and all Mount Hermon, and all Bashan to Salecah; 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 Musa strike, and drove them out. ¹³Nevertheless Bani-Israel did not drive out the Geshurites, nor the Maacathites: but Geshur and Maacath dwell in the midst of Israel to this day. ¹⁴Only to the tribe of Levi he gave no inheritance; the offerings of Allah, the God of Israel, made by fire are his inheritance, as he spoke to him. ¹⁵Musa gave to the tribe of the children of Reuben according to their families. 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; ¹⁷Heshbon, and all its cities that are in the plain; Dibon, and Bamoth Baal, and Beth Baal Meon, ¹⁸and Jahaz, and Kedemoth, and Mephaath, ¹⁹and Kiriathaim, and Sibmah, and Zereth-shahar in the mount of the valley, ²⁰and Beth Peor, and the slopes of Pisgah, and Beth-jeshimoth, ²¹and all the cities of the plain, and all the kingdom of Sihon king of the Amorites, who reigned in Heshbon, whom Musa struck with the chiefs of Madyan, Evi, and Rekem, and Zur, and Hur, and Reba, the princes of Sihon, who lived in the land. ²²Also, Balaam Ibn Beor, the soothsayer, did Bani-Israel kill with the sword among the rest of their slain. ²³The border of the children of Reuben was the Jordan, and its border. This was the inheritance of the children of Reuben according to their families, the cities and its villages. ²⁴Musa gave to the tribe of Gad, to the children of Gad, according to their families. 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; ²⁶and from Heshbon to Ramath Mizpeh, and Betonim; and from Mahanaim to the border of Debir; 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 its border, to the end of the sea of Chinnereth beyond the Jordan eastward. ²⁸This is the inheritance of the children of Gad according to their families, the cities and its villages. ²⁹Musa gave inheritance to the half-tribe of Manasseh: and it was for the half-tribe of the children of Manasseh according to their families. 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: ³¹and half Gilead, and Ashtaroth, and Edrei, the cities of the kingdom of Og in Bashan, were for the children of Machir Ibn Manasseh, even for the half of the children of Machir according to their families. ³²These are the inheritances which Musa distributed in the plains of Moab, beyond the Jordan at Jericho, eastward. ³³But to the tribe of Levi Musa gave no inheritance: Allah, the God of Israel, is their inheritance, as he spoke to them.
