BOUNDS OF THE LAND NOT YET CONQUERED. (Jos. 13:1-33)
Now Joshua was old and stricken in years--He was probably above a hundred years old; for the conquest and survey of the land occupied about seven years, the partition one; and he died at the age of one hundred ten years (Jos 24:29). The distribution, as well as the conquest of the land, was included in the mission of Joshua; and his advanced age supplied a special reason for entering on the immediate discharge of that duty; namely, of allocating Canaan among the tribes of Israel--not only the parts already won, but those also which were still to be conquered. |
| Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
| Joshua is bidden to allot the whole of the promised land among the twelve tribes in faith that God would perfect in due time that expulsion of the Canaanites which Joshua himself could not carry further (see Jos 11:23). |
| Commentary on the Old Testament, by Carl Friedrich Keil and Franz Delitzsch [1857-78] |
Introduction to the Division of the Land. - Jos 13:1-7. Command of the Lord to Joshua to distribute the land of Canaan by lot among the nine tribes and a half. Jos 13:1 contains only the commencement of the divine command; the conclusion follows in Jos 13:7. Jos 13:2-6 form a parenthesis of several clauses, defining the last clause of Jos 13:1 more fully. When Joshua had grown old, the Lord commanded him, as he was advanced in years, and there was still much land to be taken, to divide "this land," i.e., the whole of the land of Canaan, for an inheritance to the nine tribes and a half, and promised him at the same time that He would drive out the Canaanites from those portions of the land that were not yet conquered (Jos 13:6). The words "grown old and come into years" (vid., Gen 24:1; Gen 18:11, etc.) denote advanced age in its different stages up to the near approach of death (as, for example, in Jos 23:1). Joshua might be ninety or a hundred years old at this time. The allusion to Joshua's great age serves simply to explain the reason for the command of God. As he was already old, and there still remained much land to be taken, he was to proceed to the division of Canaan, that he might accomplish this work to which he was also called before his death; whereas he might very possibly suppose that, under existing circumstances, the time for allotting the land had not yet arrived. - In Jos 13:2-6 the districts that were not yet conquered are enumerated separately.
Jos 13:2-4
All the circles of the Philistines (geliloth, circles of well-defined districts lying round the chief city). The reference is to the five towns of the Philistines, whose princes are mentioned in Jos 13:3. "And all Geshuri:" not the district of Geshur in Peraea (Jos 13:11, Jos 13:13, Jos 12:5; Deu 3:14), but the territory of the Geshurites, a small tribe in the south of Philistia, on the edge of the north-western portion of the Arabian desert which borders on Egypt; it is only mentioned again in Sa1 27:8. The land of the Philistines and Geshurites extended from the Sichor of Egypt (on the south) to the territory of Ekron (on the north). Sichor (Sihor), lit. the black river, is not the Nile, because this is always called היאר (the river) in simple prose (Gen 41:1, Gen 41:3; Exo 1:22), and was not "before Egypt," i.e., to the east of it, but flowed through the middle of the land. The "Sichor before Egypt" was the brook (Nachal) of Egypt, the Ῥινοκοροῦρα, the modern Wady el Arish, which is mentioned in Jos 15:4, Jos 15:47, etc., as the southern border of Canaan towards Egypt (see at Num 34:5). Ekron (Ἀρρακών, lxx), the most northerly of the five chief cities of the Philistines, was first of all allotted to the tribe of Judah (Jos 15:11, Jos 15:45), then on the further distribution it was given to Dan (Jos 19:43); after Joshua's death it was conquered by Judah (Jdg 1:18), though it was not permanently occupied. It is the present Akr, a considerable village in the plain, two hours to the south-west of Ramlah, and on the east of Jamnia, without ruins of any antiquity, with the exception of two old wells walled round, which probably belong to the times of the Crusaders (see Rob. Pal. iii. p. 23). "To the Canaanites is reckoned (the territory of the) five lords of the Philistines," i.e., it was reckoned as belonging to the land of Canaan, and allotted to the Israelites like all the rest. This remark was necessary because the Philistines were not descendants of Canaan (see at Gen 10:14), but yet were to be driven out like the Canaanites themselves as being invaders of Canaanitish territory (cf. Deu 2:23). סרני, from סרן, the standing title of the princes of the Philistines (vid., Jdg 3:3; Jdg 16:5.; Sa1 5:8), does not mean kings, but princes, and is interchangeable with שׂרים (cf. Sa1 29:6 with Sa1 29:4, Sa1 29:9). At any rate, it was the native or Philistian title of the Philistine princes, though it is not derived from the same root as Sar, but is connected with seren, axis rotae, in the tropical sense of princeps, for which the Arabic furnishes several analogies (see Ges. Thes. p. 972).
The capitals of these five princes were the following. Azzah (Gaza, i.e., the strong): this was allotted to the tribe of Judah and taken by the Judaeans (Jos 15:47; Jdg 1:18), but was not held long. It is at the present time a considerable town of about 15,000 inhabitants, with the old name of Ghazzeh, about an hour from the sea, and with a seaport called Majuma; it is the farthest town of Palestine towards the south-west (see Rob. Pal. ii. pp. 374ff.; Ritter, Erdk. xvi. pp. 35ff.; Stark, Gaza, etc., pp. 45ff.). Ashdod (Ἄζωτος, Azotus): this was also allotted to the tribe of Judah (Jos 15:46-47), the seat of Dagon-worship, to which the Philistines carried the ark (Sa1 5:1.). It was conquered by Uzziah (Ch2 26:6), was afterwards taken by Tartan, the general of Sargon (Isa 20:1), and was besieged by Psammetichus for twenty-nine years (Herod. ii. 157). It is the present Esdud, a Mahometan village with about a hundred or a hundred and fifty miserable huts, upon a low, round, wooded height on the road from Jamnia to Gaza, two miles to the south of Jamnia, about half an hour from the sea (vid., Rob. i. p. 368). Ashkalon: this was conquered by the Judaeans after the death of Joshua (Jdg 1:8-9); but shortly afterwards recovered its independence (vid., Jdg 14:19; Sa1 6:17). It is the present Askuln on the sea-shore between Gaza and Ashdod, five hours to the north of Gaza, with considerable and widespread ruins (see v. Raum. pp. 173-4; Ritter, xvi. pp. 69ff.). Gath (Γέθ): this was for a long time the seat of the Rephaites, and was the home of Goliath (Jos 11:22; Sa1 17:4, Sa1 17:23; Sa2 21:19.; Ch1 20:5.); it was thither that the Philistines of Ashdod removed the ark, which was taken thence to Ekron (Sa1 5:7-10). David was the first to wrest it from the Philistines (Ch1 18:1). In the time of Solomon it was a royal city of the Philistines, though no doubt under Israelitish supremacy (Kg1 2:39; Kg1 5:1). It was fortified by Rehoboam (Ch2 11:8), was taken by the Syrians in the time of Joash (Kg2 12:18), and was conquered again by Uzziah (Ch2 26:6; Amo 6:2); but no further mention is made of it, and no traces have yet been discovered
(Note: According to the Onom. (s. v. Geth), it was a place five Roman miles from Eleutheropolis towards Diospolis, whereas Jerome (on Mic 1) says: "Gath was near the border of Judaea, and on the road from Eleutheropolis to Gaza; it is still a very large village;" whilst in the commentary on Jer 25 he says: "Gath was near to and conterminous with Azotus," from which it is obvious enough that the situation of the Philistine city of Gath was altogether unknown to the Fathers. Hitzig and Knobel suppose the Βαιτογάβρα of Ptolemy (5:16, 6), Betogabri in Tab. Peuting. ix. e. (the Eleutheropolis of the Fathers, and the present Beit Jibrin, a very considerable ruin), to be the ancient Gath, but this opinion is only founded upon very questionable etymological combinations; whereas Thenius looks for it on the site of the present Deir Dubban, though without any tenable ground.)
(see Rob. ii. p. 420, and v. Raumer, Pal. pp. 191-2). "And the Avvites (Avvaeans) towards the south." Judging from Deu 2:23, the Avvim appear to have belonged to those tribes of the land who were already found there by the Canaanites, and whom the Philistines subdued and destroyed when they entered the country. They are not mentioned in Gen 10:15-19 among the Canaanitish tribes. At the same time, there is not sufficient ground for identifying them with the Geshurites as Ewald does, or with the Anakites, as Bertheau has done. Moreover, it cannot be decided whether they were descendants of Ham or Shem (see Stark. Gaza, pp. 32ff.). מתּימן (from, or on, the south) at the commencement of Jos 13:4 should be attached to Jos 13:3, as it is in the Septuagint, Syriac, and Vulgate, and joined to העוּים (the Avvites). The Avvaeans dwelt to the south of the Philistines, on the south-west of Gaza. It gives no sense to connect with the what follows, so as to read "towards the south all the land of the Canaanites;" for whatever land to the south of Gaza, or of the territory of the Philistines, was still inhabited by Canaanites, could not possibly be called "all the land of the Canaanites." If, however, we were disposed to adopt the opinion held by Masius and Rosenmller, and understand these words as relating to the southern boundaries of Canaan, "the possessions of the king of Arad and the neighbouring petty kings who ruled in the southern extremity of Judaea down to the desert of Paran, Zin, Kadesh," etc., the fact that Arad and the adjoining districts are always reckoned as belonging to the Negeb would at once be decisive against it (compare Jos 15:21. with Jos 10:40; Jos 11:16, also Num 21:1). Moreover, according to Jos 10:40, Jos 10:21, and Jos 11:16-17, Joshua had smitten the whole of the south of Canaan from Kadesh-barnea to Gaza and taken it; so that nothing remained unconquered there, which could possibly have been mentioned in this passage as not yet taken by the Israelites. For the fact that the districts, which Joshua traversed so victoriously and took possession of, were not all permanently held by the Israelites, does not come into consideration here at all. If the author had thought of enumerating all these places, he would have had to include many other districts as well.
Beside the territory of the Philistines on the south-west, there still remained to be taken (Jos 13:4, Jos 13:5) in the north, "all the land of the Canaanites," i.e., of the Phoenicians dwelling on the coast, and "the caves which belonged to the Sidonians unto Aphek." Mearah (the cave) is the present Mugr Jezzin, i.e., cave of Jezzin, on the east of Sidon, in a steep rocky wall of Lebanon, a hiding-place of the Druses at the present time (see at Num 34:8; also F. v. Richter, Wallfahrten in Morgenland, p. 133). Aphek, or Aphik, was allotted to the tribe of Asher (Jos 19:30; Jdg 1:31); it was called Ἄφακα by the Greeks; there was a temple of Venus there, which Constantine ordered to be destroyed, on account of the licentious nature of the worship (Euseb. Vita Const. iii. 55). It is the present Afka, a small village, but a place of rare beauty, upon a terrace of Lebanon, near the chief source of the river Adonis (Nahr Ibrahim), with ruins of an ancient temple in the neighbourhood, surrounded by groves of the most splendid walnut trees on the north-east of Beirut (see O. F. v. Richter, pp. 106-7; Rob. Bibl. Res. p. 663; and V. de Velde, Reise. ii. p. 398). "To the territory of the Amorites:" this is obscure. We cannot imagine the reference to be to the territory of Og of Bashan, which was formerly inhabited by Amorites, as that did not extend so far north; and the explanation given by Knobel, that farther north there were not Canaanites, but Amorites, who were of Semitic origin, rests upon hypotheses which cannot be historically sustained.
Jos 13:5-7
There still remained to be taken (2) "the land of the Giblites," i.e., the territory of the population of Gebal (Kg1 5:18; Eze 27:9), the Byblos of the classics, on the Mediterranean Sea, to the north of Beirut, called Jebail by the Arabs, and according to Edrisi (ed. Jaubert, i. p. 356), "a pretty town on the sea-shore, enclosed in good walls, and surrounded by vineyards and extensive grounds planted with fruit trees" (see also Abulfed. Tab. Syr. p. 94). It is still a town with an old wall, some portions of which apparently belong to the time of the Crusades (see Burckhardt, Syr. p. 296, and Ritter, Erdk. xvii. pp. 60ff.).
(Note: The evidence adduced by Movers (Phnizier, ii. 1, p. 103), that the Giblites did not belong to the Canaanites, has more plausibility than truth.)
"And all Lebanon toward the sunrising:" i.e., not Antilibanus (Knobel), but the Lebanon which is to the east of the territory of Gebal, "from Baal-gad under Mount Hermon," i.e., Paneas Banjas at the foot of Hermon (see at Jos 11:17), "unto the entering in to Hamath," i.e., as far up as the territory of the kingdom of Hamath, with the capital of the same name on the Orontes (see at Num 34:8). Lastly, there still remained (3) "all the inhabitants of the mountains, from Lebanon to Misrephothmaim," i.e., the promontory of Nakura (see at Jos 11:8), namely "all the Sidonians," i.e., all the Phoenicians who dwelt from Lebanon southwards, from the boundary of the territory of Hamath down to the promontory of Nakura. According to ancient usage, the Sidonians stand for the Phoenicians generally, as in Homer, on account of Sidon being the oldest capital of Phoenicia (see Ges. on Isa. i. pp. 724ff.). All these the Lord would root out before Israel, and therefore Joshua was to divide the whole of northern Canaan, which was inhabited by Phoenicians, among the Israelites. "only divide thou it by lot for an inheritance," etc. רק, only, i.e., although thou hast not yet taken it. הפּיל, to cause it to fall, here used with reference to the lot, i.e., to divide by lot. "Fulfil thy duty in the distribution of the land, not even excepting what is still in the firm grasp of the enemy; for I will take care to perform what I have promised. From this we may learn to rely so perfectly upon the word of God, when undertaking any duty, as not to be deterred by doubts of fears" (Calvin).
Jos 13:8-10
To the command of God to divide the land on this side the Jordan among the nine tribes and a half (Jos 13:7), the historian appends the remark, that the other two tribes and a half had already received their inheritance from Moses on the other side (Jos 13:8). This he proceeds to describe in its full extent (Jos 13:9-13), and then observes that the tribe of Levi alone received no landed inheritance, according to the word of the Lord (Jos 13:14). After this he gives a description in vv. 15-33 of the land assigned by Moses to each of the two tribes and a half.
(Note: Knobel's remark, that Jos 13:8-14 anticipate the following section (vv. 15-33) in an unsuitable manner, rests upon a thorough misunderstanding of the whole; for the account of the division of the land to the east of the Jordan among the two tribes and a half (vv. 15-33) could not be introduced in a more appropriate manner than by a description of the circumference of the land and of its principal parts (Jos 13:9-13).)
The remark in Jos 13:8 is so closely connected with what precedes by the expression "with whom" (lit., with it), that this expression must be taken as somewhat indefinite: "with whom," viz., with half Manasseh, really signifying with the other half of Manasseh, with which the Reubenites and Gadites had received their inheritance (see Num 32 and Deu 3:8-17). The last words of Jos 13:8, "as Moses the servant of Jehovah gave them," are not a tautological repetition of the clause "which Moses gave them," but simply affirm that these tribes received the land given them by Moses, in the manner commanded by Moses, without any alteration in his arrangements. The boundaries of the land given in Jos 13:9-13 really agree with those given in Jos 12:2-5 and Deu 3:8, although the expression varies in some respects. The words of Jos 13:9, "the city that is in the midst of the river," i.e., the city in the valley, viz., Ar, are more distinct than those of Jos 12:2, "and from the middle of the river." "All the plain" is the Amoritish table-land, a tract of land for the most part destitute of trees, stretching from the Arnon to Heshbon, and towards the north-east to Rabbath-Ammn (see at Deu 3:10), which is called in Num 21:20 the field of Moab Medeba, now called Medaba (see at Num 21:30). Dibon, now a ruin called Dibn, to the north of Arnon (see at Num 21:20). - Jos 13:10, as in Jos 12:2.
Jos 13:11-13
Gilead is the whole country of that name on both sides of the Jabbok (see at Jos 12:2 and Deu 3:10), the present Belka and Jebel Ajlun, for the description of which see the remarks at Num 32:1. "The territory of the Geshurites and Maachathites" is referred to in Jos 12:5 as the boundary of the kingdom of Og, and in Deu 3:14 as the boundary of the land which was taken by Jair the Manassite; here it is included in the inheritance of the tribes on the other side of the Jordan, but it was never really taken possession of by the Israelites, and (according to Jos 13:13) it had probably never been really subject to king Og. The other notices in Jos 13:11 and Jos 13:12 are the same as in Jos 12:4-5.
Jos 13:14
The tribe of Levi was to receive no land, but the firings of Jehovah, i.e., the offerings, including the tithes and first-fruits (Lev 27:30-32, compared with Num 18:21-32), were to be its inheritance; so that the God of Israel himself is called the inheritance of Levi in Jos 13:33 as in Num 18:20, to which the words "as He said unto them" refer (see the commentary on Num 18:20). |

| Thou art old - Therefore delay not to do the work which I have commanded thee to do. It is good for those that are stricken in years, to be remembered that they are so: that they may be quickened to do the work of life, and prepare for death which is coming on apace. |
| Adam Clarke Commentary on the Whole Bible - Published 1810-1826 |
Joshua was old - He is generally reputed to have been at this time about a hundred years of age: he had spent about seven years in the conquest of the land, and is supposed to have employed about one year in dividing it; and he died about ten years after, aged one hundred and ten years. It is very likely that he intended to subdue the whole land before he made the division of it among the tribes; but God did not think proper to have this done. So unfaithful were the Israelites that he appears to have purposed that some of the ancient inhabitants should still remain to keep them in check, and that the respective tribes should have some labor to drive out from their allotted borders the remains of the Canaanitish nations.
There remaineth yet very much land to be possessed - That is, very much when compared with that on the other side Jordan, which was all that could as yet be said to be in the hands of the Israelites. |
29 And it came to pass after [0310] these things [01697], that Joshua [03091] the son [01121] of Nun [05126], the servant [05650] of the LORD [03068], died [04191], being an hundred [03967] and ten [06235] years [08141] old [01121].
23 So Joshua [03091] took [03947] the whole land [0776], according to all that the LORD [03068] said [01696] unto Moses [04872]; and Joshua [03091] gave [05414] it for an inheritance [05159] unto Israel [03478] according to their divisions [04256] by their tribes [07626]. And the land [0776] rested [08252] from war [04421].
20 And the LORD [03068] spake [0559] unto Aaron [0175], Thou shalt have no inheritance [05157] in their land [0776], neither shalt thou have any part [02506] among [08432] them: I am thy part [02506] and thine inheritance [05159] among [08432] the children [01121] of Israel [03478].
20 And the LORD [03068] spake [0559] unto Aaron [0175], Thou shalt have no inheritance [05157] in their land [0776], neither shalt thou have any part [02506] among [08432] them: I am thy part [02506] and thine inheritance [05159] among [08432] the children [01121] of Israel [03478].
33 But unto the tribe [07626] of Levi [03878] Moses [04872] gave [05414] not any inheritance [05159]: the LORD [03068] God [0430] of Israel [03478] was their inheritance [05159], as he said [01696] unto them.
21 And, behold, I have given [05414] the children [01121] of Levi [03878] all the tenth [04643] in Israel [03478] for an inheritance [05159], for [02500] their service [05656] which they serve [05647], even the service [05656] of the tabernacle [0168] of the congregation [04150].
22 Neither must the children [01121] of Israel [03478] henceforth [05750] come nigh [07126] the tabernacle [0168] of the congregation [04150], lest they bear [05375] sin [02399], and die [04191].
23 But the Levites [03881] shall do [05647] the service [05656] of the tabernacle [0168] of the congregation [04150], and they shall bear [05375] their iniquity [05771]: it shall be a statute [02708] for ever [05769] throughout your generations [01755], that among [08432] the children [01121] of Israel [03478] they have [05157] no inheritance [05159].
24 But the tithes [04643] of the children [01121] of Israel [03478], which they offer [07311] as an heave offering [08641] unto the LORD [03068], I have given [05414] to the Levites [03881] to inherit [05159]: therefore I have said [0559] unto them, Among [08432] the children [01121] of Israel [03478] they shall have [05157] no inheritance [05159].
25 And the LORD [03068] spake [01696] unto Moses [04872], saying [0559],
26 Thus speak [01696] unto the Levites [03881], and say [0559] unto them, When ye take [03947] of the children [01121] of Israel [03478] the tithes [04643] which I have given [05414] you from them for your inheritance [05159], then ye shall offer [07311] up an heave offering [08641] of it for the LORD [03068], even a tenth [04643] part of the tithe [04643].
27 And this your heave offering [08641] shall be reckoned [02803] unto you, as though it were the corn [01715] of the threshingfloor [01637], and as the fulness [04395] of the winepress [03342].
28 Thus ye also shall offer [07311] an heave offering [08641] unto the LORD [03068] of all your tithes [04643], which ye receive [03947] of the children [01121] of Israel [03478]; and ye shall give [05414] thereof the LORD'S [03068] heave offering [08641] to Aaron [0175] the priest [03548].
29 Out of all your gifts [04979] ye shall offer [07311] every heave offering [08641] of the LORD [03068], of all the best [02459] thereof, even the hallowed part [04720] thereof out of it.
30 Therefore thou shalt say [0559] unto them, When ye have heaved [07311] the best [02459] thereof from it, then it shall be counted [02803] unto the Levites [03881] as the increase [08393] of the threshingfloor [01637], and as the increase [08393] of the winepress [03342].
31 And ye shall eat [0398] it in every place [04725], ye and your households [01004]: for it is your reward [07939] for [02500] your service [05656] in the tabernacle [0168] of the congregation [04150].
32 And ye shall bear [05375] no sin [02399] by reason of it, when ye have heaved [07311] from it the best [02459] of it: neither shall ye pollute [02490] the holy things [06944] of the children [01121] of Israel [03478], lest ye die [04191].
30 And all the tithe [04643] of the land [0776], whether of the seed [02233] of the land [0776], or of the fruit [06529] of the tree [06086], is the LORD'S [03068]: it is holy [06944] unto the LORD [03068].
31 And if a man [0376] will at all [01350] redeem [01350] ought of his tithes [04643], he shall add [03254] thereto the fifth [02549] part thereof.
32 And concerning the tithe [04643] of the herd [01241], or of the flock [06629], even of whatsoever passeth [05674] under the rod [07626], the tenth [06224] shall be holy [06944] unto the LORD [03068].
14 Only unto the tribe [07626] of Levi [03878] he gave [05414] none inheritance [05159]; the sacrifices [0801] of the LORD [03068] God [0430] of Israel [03478] made by fire [0801] are their inheritance [05159], as he said [01696] unto them.
4 And the coast [01366] of Og [05747] king [04428] of Bashan [01316], which was of the remnant [03499] of the giants [07497], that dwelt [03427] at Ashtaroth [06252] and at Edrei [0154],
5 And reigned [04910] in mount [02022] Hermon [02768], and in Salcah [05548], and in all Bashan [01316], unto the border [01366] of the Geshurites [01651] and the Maachathites [04602], and half [02677] Gilead [01568], the border [01366] of Sihon [05511] king [04428] of Heshbon [02809].
12 All the kingdom [04468] of Og [05747] in Bashan [01316], which reigned [04427] in Ashtaroth [06252] and in Edrei [0154], who remained [07604] of the remnant [03499] of the giants [07497]: for these did Moses [04872] smite [05221], and cast them out [03423].
11 And Gilead [01568], and the border [01366] of the Geshurites [01651] and Maachathites [04602], and all mount [02022] Hermon [02768], and all Bashan [01316] unto Salcah [05548];
13 Nevertheless the children [01121] of Israel [03478] expelled [03423] not the Geshurites [01651], nor the Maachathites [04602]: but the Geshurites [01650] and the Maachathites [04601] dwell [03427] among [07130] the Israelites [03478] until this day [03117].
14 Jair [02971] the son [01121] of Manasseh [04519] took [03947] all the country [02256] of Argob [0709] unto the coasts [01366] of Geshuri [01651] and Maachathi [04602]; and called [07121] them after his own name [08034], Bashanhavothjair [01316] [02334], unto this day [03117].
5 And reigned [04910] in mount [02022] Hermon [02768], and in Salcah [05548], and in all Bashan [01316], unto the border [01366] of the Geshurites [01651] and the Maachathites [04602], and half [02677] Gilead [01568], the border [01366] of Sihon [05511] king [04428] of Heshbon [02809].
1 Now the children [01121] of Reuben [07205] and the children [01121] of Gad [01410] had a very [03966] great [06099] multitude [07227] of cattle [04735]: and when they saw [07200] the land [0776] of Jazer [03270], and the land [0776] of Gilead [01568], that, behold, the place [04725] was a place [04725] for cattle [04735];

2 Sihon [05511] king [04428] of the Amorites [0567], who dwelt [03427] in Heshbon [02809], and ruled [04910] from Aroer [06177], which is upon the bank [08193] of the river [05158] Arnon [0769], and from the middle [08432] of the river [05158], and from half [02677] Gilead [01568], even unto the river [05158] Jabbok [02999], which is the border [01366] of the children [01121] of Ammon [05983];

13 Nevertheless the children [01121] of Israel [03478] expelled [03423] not the Geshurites [01651], nor the Maachathites [04602]: but the Geshurites [01650] and the Maachathites [04601] dwell [03427] among [07130] the Israelites [03478] until this day [03117].

30 We have shot [03384] at them; Heshbon [02809] is perished [06] even unto Dibon [01769], and we have laid them waste [08074] even unto Nophah [05302], which reacheth unto Medeba [04311].

11 For only Og [05747] king [04428] of Bashan [01316] remained [07604] of the remnant [03499] of giants [07497]; behold, his bedstead [06210] was a bedstead [06210] of iron [01270]; is it not [03808] in Rabbath [07237] of the children [01121] of Ammon [05983]? nine [08672] cubits [0520] was the length [0753] thereof, and four [0702] cubits [0520] the breadth [07341] of it, after the cubit [0520] of a man [0376].
12 And this land [0776], which we possessed [03423] at that time [06256], from Aroer [06177], which is by the river [05158] Arnon [0769], and half [02677] mount [02022] Gilead [01568], and the cities [05892] thereof, gave [05414] I unto the Reubenites [07206] and to the Gadites [01425].

15 And I gave [05414] Gilead [01568] unto Machir [04353].
16 And unto the Reubenites [07206] and unto the Gadites [01425] I gave [05414] from Gilead [01568] even unto the river [05158] Arnon [0769] half [08432] the valley [05158], and the border [01366] even unto the river [05158] Jabbok [02999], which is the border [01366] of the children [01121] of Ammon [05983];

8 From mount [02022] Hor [02023] ye shall point out [08376] your border unto the entrance [0935] of Hamath [02574]; and the goings forth [08444] of the border [01366] shall be to Zedad [06657]:
17 Even from the mount [02022] Halak [02510], that goeth up [05927] to Seir [08165], even unto Baalgad [01171] in the valley [01237] of Lebanon [03844] under mount [02022] Hermon [02768]: and all their kings [04428] he took [03920], and smote [05221] them, and slew [04191] them.
9 The ancients [02205] of Gebal [01380] and the wise [02450] men thereof were in thee thy calkers [0919] [02388]: all the ships [0591] of the sea [03220] with their mariners [04419] were in thee to occupy [06148] thy merchandise [04627].
18 And Solomon's [08010] builders [01129] and Hiram's [02438] builders [01129] did hew [06458] them, and the stonesquarers [01382]: so they prepared [03559] timber [06086] and stones [068] to build [01129] the house [01004].
5 And the land [0776] of the Giblites [01382], and all Lebanon [03844], toward the sunrising [04217] [08121], from Baalgad [01171] under mount [02022] Hermon [02768] unto the entering [0935] into Hamath [02574].
6 All the inhabitants [03427] of the hill country [02022] from Lebanon [03844] unto Misrephothmaim [04956], and all the Sidonians [06722], them will I drive out [03423] from before [06440] the children [01121] of Israel [03478]: only divide thou it by lot [05307] unto the Israelites [03478] for an inheritance [05159], as I have commanded [06680] thee.
7 Now therefore divide [02505] this land [0776] for an inheritance [05159] unto the nine [08672] tribes [07626], and the half [02677] tribe [07626] of Manasseh [04519],
31 Neither did Asher [0836] drive out [03423] the inhabitants [03427] of Accho [05910], nor the inhabitants [03427] of Zidon [06721], nor of Ahlab [0303], nor of Achzib [0392], nor of Helbah [02462], nor of Aphik [0663], nor of Rehob [07340]:
30 Ummah [05981] also, and Aphek [0663], and Rehob [07340]: twenty [06242] and two [08147] cities [05892] with their villages [02691].
8 From mount [02022] Hor [02023] ye shall point out [08376] your border unto the entrance [0935] of Hamath [02574]; and the goings forth [08444] of the border [01366] shall be to Zedad [06657]:
5 And the land [0776] of the Giblites [01382], and all Lebanon [03844], toward the sunrising [04217] [08121], from Baalgad [01171] under mount [02022] Hermon [02768] unto the entering [0935] into Hamath [02574].
4 From the south [08486], all the land [0776] of the Canaanites [03669], and Mearah [04632] that is beside the Sidonians [06722], unto Aphek [0663], to the borders [01366] of the Amorites [0567]:
16 So Joshua [03091] took [03947] all that land [0776], the hills [02022], and all the south country [05045], and all the land [0776] of Goshen [01657], and the valley [08219], and the plain [06160], and the mountain [02022] of Israel [03478], and the valley [08219] of the same;
17 Even from the mount [02022] Halak [02510], that goeth up [05927] to Seir [08165], even unto Baalgad [01171] in the valley [01237] of Lebanon [03844] under mount [02022] Hermon [02768]: and all their kings [04428] he took [03920], and smote [05221] them, and slew [04191] them.
21 And all the people [05971] returned [07725] to the camp [04264] to Joshua [03091] at Makkedah [04719] in peace [07965]: none moved [02782] his tongue [03956] against any [0376] of the children [01121] of Israel [03478].
40 So Joshua [03091] smote [05221] all the country [0776] of the hills [02022], and of the south [05045], and of the vale [08219], and of the springs [0794], and all their kings [04428]: he left [07604] none remaining [08300], but utterly destroyed [02763] all that breathed [05397], as the LORD [03068] God [0430] of Israel [03478] commanded [06680].
1 And when king [04428] Arad [06166] the Canaanite [03669], which dwelt [03427] in the south [05045], heard [08085] tell that Israel [03478] came [0935] by the way [01870] of the spies [0871]; then he fought [03898] against Israel [03478], and took [07617] some of them prisoners [07628].
16 So Joshua [03091] took [03947] all that land [0776], the hills [02022], and all the south country [05045], and all the land [0776] of Goshen [01657], and the valley [08219], and the plain [06160], and the mountain [02022] of Israel [03478], and the valley [08219] of the same;
40 So Joshua [03091] smote [05221] all the country [0776] of the hills [02022], and of the south [05045], and of the vale [08219], and of the springs [0794], and all their kings [04428]: he left [07604] none remaining [08300], but utterly destroyed [02763] all that breathed [05397], as the LORD [03068] God [0430] of Israel [03478] commanded [06680].
21 And the uttermost [07097] cities [05892] of the tribe [04294] of the children [01121] of Judah [03063] toward the coast [01366] of Edom [0123] southward [05045] were Kabzeel [06909], and Eder [05740], and Jagur [03017],
3 From Sihor [07883], which is before [06440] Egypt [04714], even unto the borders [01366] of Ekron [06138] northward [06828], which is counted [02803] to the Canaanite [03669]: five [02568] lords [05633] of the Philistines [06430]; the Gazathites [05841], and the Ashdothites [0796], the Eshkalonites [0832], the Gittites [01663], and the Ekronites [06139]; also the Avites [05761]:
4 From the south [08486], all the land [0776] of the Canaanites [03669], and Mearah [04632] that is beside the Sidonians [06722], unto Aphek [0663], to the borders [01366] of the Amorites [0567]:
15 And Canaan [03667] begat [03205] Sidon [06721] his firstborn [01060], and Heth [02845],
16 And the Jebusite [02983], and the Amorite [0567], and the Girgasite [01622],
17 And the Hivite [02340], and the Arkite [06208], and the Sinite [05513],
18 And the Arvadite [0721], and the Zemarite [06786], and the Hamathite [02577]: and afterward [0310] were the families [04940] of the Canaanites [03669] spread abroad [06327].
19 And the border [01366] of the Canaanites [03669] was from Sidon [06721], as thou comest [0935] to Gerar [01642], unto Gaza [05804]; as thou goest [0935], unto Sodom [05467], and Gomorrah [06017], and Admah [0126], and Zeboim [06636], even unto Lasha [03962].
23 And the Avims [05761] which dwelt [03427] in Hazerim [02699], even unto Azzah [05804], the Caphtorims [03732], which came forth [03318] out of Caphtor [03731], destroyed [08045] them, and dwelt [03427] in their stead.)
2 Pass [05674] ye unto Calneh [03641], and see [07200]; and from thence go [03212] ye to Hamath [02574] the great [07227] [02579]: then go down [03381] to Gath [01661] of the Philistines [06430]: be they better [02896] than these kingdoms [04467]? or their border [01366] greater [07227] than your border [01366]?
6 And he went forth [03318] and warred [03898] against the Philistines [06430], and brake down [06555] the wall [02346] of Gath [01661], and the wall [02346] of Jabneh [02996], and the wall [02346] of Ashdod [0795], and built [01129] cities [05892] about Ashdod [0795], and among the Philistines [06430].
18 And Jehoash [03060] king [04428] of Judah [03063] took [03947] all the hallowed things [06944] that Jehoshaphat [03092], and Jehoram [03088], and Ahaziah [0274], his fathers [01], kings [04428] of Judah [03063], had dedicated [06942], and his own hallowed things [06944], and all the gold [02091] that was found [04672] in the treasures [0214] of the house [01004] of the LORD [03068], and in the king's [04428] house [01004], and sent [07971] it to Hazael [02371] king [04428] of Syria [0758]: and he went away [05927] from Jerusalem [03389].
8 And Gath [01661], and Mareshah [04762], and Ziph [02128],
1 And Hiram [02438] king [04428] of Tyre [06865] sent [07971] his servants [05650] unto Solomon [08010]; for he had heard [08085] that they had anointed [04886] him king [04428] in the room of his father [01]: for Hiram [02438] was ever [03117] a lover [0157] of David [01732].
39 And it came to pass at the end [07093] of three [07969] years [08141], that two [08147] of the servants [05650] of Shimei [08096] ran away [01272] unto Achish [0397] son [01121] of Maachah [04601] king [04428] of Gath [01661]. And they told [05046] Shimei [08096], saying [0559], Behold, thy servants [05650] be in Gath [01661].
1 Now after this [0310] it came to pass, that David [01732] smote [05221] the Philistines [06430], and subdued [03665] them, and took [03947] Gath [01661] and her towns [01323] out of the hand [03027] of the Philistines [06430].
7 And when the men [0582] of Ashdod [0795] saw [07200] that it was so, they said [0559], The ark [0727] of the God [0430] of Israel [03478] shall not abide [03427] with us: for his hand [03027] is sore [07185] upon us, and upon Dagon [01712] our god [0430].
8 They sent [07971] therefore and gathered [0622] all the lords [05633] of the Philistines [06430] unto them, and said [0559], What shall we do [06213] with the ark [0727] of the God [0430] of Israel [03478]? And they answered [0559], Let the ark [0727] of the God [0430] of Israel [03478] be carried about [05437] unto Gath [01661]. And they carried [05437] the ark [0727] of the God [0430] of Israel [03478] about [05437] thither.
9 And it was so, that, after [0310] they had carried it about [05437], the hand [03027] of the LORD [03068] was against the city [05892] with a very [03966] great [01419] destruction [04103]: and he smote [05221] the men [0582] of the city [05892], both small [06996] and great [01419], and they had emerods [02914] [06076] in their secret parts [08368].
10 Therefore they sent [07971] the ark [0727] of God [0430] to Ekron [06138]. And it came to pass, as the ark [0727] of God [0430] came [0935] to Ekron [06138], that the Ekronites [06139] cried out [02199], saying [0559], They have brought about [05437] the ark [0727] of the God [0430] of Israel [03478] to us, to slay [04191] us and our people [05971].
5 And there was war [04421] again with the Philistines [06430]; and Elhanan [0445] the son [01121] of Jair [03265] slew [05221] Lahmi [03902] the brother [0251] of Goliath [01555] the Gittite [01663], whose spear [02595] staff [06086] was like a weaver's [0707] beam [04500].
19 And there was again a battle [04421] in Gob [01359] with the Philistines [06430], where Elhanan [0445] the son [01121] of Jaareoregim [03296], a Bethlehemite [01022], slew [05221] the brother of Goliath [01555] the Gittite [01663], the staff [06086] of whose spear [02595] was like a weaver's [0707] beam [04500].
23 And as he talked [01696] with them, behold, there came up [05927] the champion [0376] [01143], the Philistine [06430] of Gath [01661], Goliath [01555] by name [08034], out of the armies [04634] [04630] of the Philistines [06430], and spake [01696] according to the same [0428] words [01697]: and David [01732] heard [08085] them.
4 And there went out [03318] a champion [0376] [01143] out of the camp [04264] of the Philistines [06430], named [08034] Goliath [01555], of Gath [01661], whose height [01363] was six [08337] cubits [0520] and a span [02239].
22 There was none of the Anakims [06062] left [03498] in the land [0776] of the children [01121] of Israel [03478]: only in Gaza [05804], in Gath [01661], and in Ashdod [0795], there remained [07604].
17 And these are the golden [02091] emerods [02914] which the Philistines [06430] returned [07725] for a trespass offering [0817] unto the LORD [03068]; for Ashdod [0795] one [0259], for Gaza [05804] one [0259], for Askelon [0831] one [0259], for Gath [01661] one [0259], for Ekron [06138] one [0259];
19 And the Spirit [07307] of the LORD [03068] came [06743] upon him, and he went down [03381] to Ashkelon [0831], and slew [05221] thirty [07970] men [0376] of them, and took [03947] their spoil [02488], and gave [05414] change [02487] of garments unto them which expounded [05046] the riddle [02420]. And his anger [0639] was kindled [02734], and he went up [05927] to his father's [01] house [01004].
8 Now the children [01121] of Judah [03063] had fought [03898] against Jerusalem [03389], and had taken [03920] it, and smitten [05221] it with the edge [06310] of the sword [02719], and set [07971] the city [05892] on fire [0784].
9 And afterward [0310] the children [01121] of Judah [03063] went down [03381] to fight [03898] against the Canaanites [03669], that dwelt [03427] in the mountain [02022], and in the south [05045], and in the valley [08219].
1 In the year [08141] that Tartan [08661] came [0935] unto Ashdod [0795], (when Sargon [05623] the king [04428] of Assyria [0804] sent [07971] him,) and fought [03898] against Ashdod [0795], and took [03920] it;
6 And he went forth [03318] and warred [03898] against the Philistines [06430], and brake down [06555] the wall [02346] of Gath [01661], and the wall [02346] of Jabneh [02996], and the wall [02346] of Ashdod [0795], and built [01129] cities [05892] about Ashdod [0795], and among the Philistines [06430].
1 And the Philistines [06430] took [03947] the ark [0727] of God [0430], and brought [0935] it from Ebenezer [072] unto Ashdod [0795].
46 From Ekron [06138] even unto the sea [03220], all that lay near [03027] Ashdod [0795], with their villages [02691]:
47 Ashdod [0795] with her towns [01323] and her villages [02691], Gaza [05804] with her towns [01323] and her villages [02691], unto the river [05158] of Egypt [04714], and the great [01419] [01366] sea [03220], and the border [01366] thereof:
18 Also Judah [03063] took [03920] Gaza [05804] with the coast [01366] thereof, and Askelon [0831] with the coast [01366] thereof, and Ekron [06138] with the coast [01366] thereof.
47 Ashdod [0795] with her towns [01323] and her villages [02691], Gaza [05804] with her towns [01323] and her villages [02691], unto the river [05158] of Egypt [04714], and the great [01419] [01366] sea [03220], and the border [01366] thereof:
9 And Achish [0397] answered [06030] and said [0559] to David [01732], I know [03045] that thou art good [02896] in my sight [05869], as an angel [04397] of God [0430]: notwithstanding the princes [08269] of the Philistines [06430] have said [0559], He shall not go up [05927] with us to the battle [04421].
4 And the princes [08269] of the Philistines [06430] were wroth [07107] with him; and the princes [08269] of the Philistines [06430] said [0559] unto him, Make [07725] this fellow [0376] return [07725], that he may go again [07725] to his place [04725] which thou hast appointed [06485] him, and let him not go down [03381] with us to battle [04421], lest in the battle [04421] he be an adversary [07854] to us: for wherewith should he reconcile [07521] himself unto his master [0113]? should it not be with the heads [07218] of these men [0582]?
6 Then Achish [0397] called [07121] David [01732], and said [0559] unto him, Surely, as the LORD [03068] liveth [02416], thou hast been upright [03477], and thy going out [03318] and thy coming in [0935] with me in the host [04264] is good [02896] in my sight [05869]: for I have not found [04672] evil [07451] in thee since the day [03117] of thy coming [0935] unto me unto this day [03117]: nevertheless the lords [05633] favour [02896] thee not [05869].
8 They sent [07971] therefore and gathered [0622] all the lords [05633] of the Philistines [06430] unto them, and said [0559], What shall we do [06213] with the ark [0727] of the God [0430] of Israel [03478]? And they answered [0559], Let the ark [0727] of the God [0430] of Israel [03478] be carried about [05437] unto Gath [01661]. And they carried [05437] the ark [0727] of the God [0430] of Israel [03478] about [05437] thither.
5 And the lords [05633] of the Philistines [06430] came up [05927] unto her, and said [0559] unto her, Entice [06601] him, and see [07200] wherein his great [01419] strength [03581] lieth, and by what means we may prevail [03201] against him, that we may bind [0631] him to afflict [06031] him: and we will give [05414] thee every one [0376] of us eleven hundred [0505] [03967] pieces of silver [03701].
3 Namely, five [02568] lords [05633] of the Philistines [06430], and all the Canaanites [03669], and the Sidonians [06722], and the Hivites [02340] that dwelt [03427] in mount [02022] Lebanon [03844], from mount [02022] Baalhermon [01179] unto the entering in [0935] of Hamath [02574].
23 And the Avims [05761] which dwelt [03427] in Hazerim [02699], even unto Azzah [05804], the Caphtorims [03732], which came forth [03318] out of Caphtor [03731], destroyed [08045] them, and dwelt [03427] in their stead.)
14 And Pathrusim [06625], and Casluhim [03695], (out of whom came [03318] Philistim [06430],) and Caphtorim [03732].
18 Also Judah [03063] took [03920] Gaza [05804] with the coast [01366] thereof, and Askelon [0831] with the coast [01366] thereof, and Ekron [06138] with the coast [01366] thereof.
43 And Elon [0356], and Thimnathah [08553], and Ekron [06138],
45 Ekron [06138], with her towns [01323] and her villages [02691]:
11 And the border [01366] went out [03318] unto the side [03802] of Ekron [06138] northward [06828]: and the border [01366] was drawn [08388] to Shicron [07942], and passed along [05674] to mount [02022] Baalah [01173], and went out [03318] unto Jabneel [02995]; and the goings out [08444] of the border [01366] were at the sea [03220].
5 And the border [01366] shall fetch a compass [05437] from Azmon [06111] unto the river [05158] of Egypt [04714], and the goings out [08444] of it shall be at the sea [03220].
47 Ashdod [0795] with her towns [01323] and her villages [02691], Gaza [05804] with her towns [01323] and her villages [02691], unto the river [05158] of Egypt [04714], and the great [01419] [01366] sea [03220], and the border [01366] thereof:
4 From thence it passed [05674] toward Azmon [06111], and went out [03318] unto the river [05158] of Egypt [04714]; and the goings out [08444] of that coast [01366] were at the sea [03220]: this shall be your south [05045] coast [01366].
22 And Pharaoh [06547] charged [06680] all his people [05971], saying [0559], Every son [01121] that is born [03209] ye shall cast [07993] into the river [02975], and every daughter [01323] ye shall save alive [02421].
3 And, behold, seven [07651] other [0312] kine [06510] came up [05927] after them [0310] out of the river [02975], ill [07451] favoured [04758] and leanfleshed [01851] [01320]; and stood [05975] by [0681] the other kine [06510] upon the brink [08193] of the river [02975].
1 And it came to pass at the end [07093] of two full [03117] years [08141], that Pharaoh [06547] dreamed [02492]: and, behold, he stood [05975] by the river [02975].
8 And David [01732] and his men [0582] went up [05927], and invaded [06584] the Geshurites [01651], and the Gezrites [01511], and the Amalekites [06003]: for those [02007] nations were of old [05769] the inhabitants [03427] of the land [0776], as thou goest [0935] to Shur [07793], even unto the land [0776] of Egypt [04714].
14 Jair [02971] the son [01121] of Manasseh [04519] took [03947] all the country [02256] of Argob [0709] unto the coasts [01366] of Geshuri [01651] and Maachathi [04602]; and called [07121] them after his own name [08034], Bashanhavothjair [01316] [02334], unto this day [03117].
5 And reigned [04910] in mount [02022] Hermon [02768], and in Salcah [05548], and in all Bashan [01316], unto the border [01366] of the Geshurites [01651] and the Maachathites [04602], and half [02677] Gilead [01568], the border [01366] of Sihon [05511] king [04428] of Heshbon [02809].
13 Nevertheless the children [01121] of Israel [03478] expelled [03423] not the Geshurites [01651], nor the Maachathites [04602]: but the Geshurites [01650] and the Maachathites [04601] dwell [03427] among [07130] the Israelites [03478] until this day [03117].
11 And Gilead [01568], and the border [01366] of the Geshurites [01651] and Maachathites [04602], and all mount [02022] Hermon [02768], and all Bashan [01316] unto Salcah [05548];
3 From Sihor [07883], which is before [06440] Egypt [04714], even unto the borders [01366] of Ekron [06138] northward [06828], which is counted [02803] to the Canaanite [03669]: five [02568] lords [05633] of the Philistines [06430]; the Gazathites [05841], and the Ashdothites [0796], the Eshkalonites [0832], the Gittites [01663], and the Ekronites [06139]; also the Avites [05761]:
2 This is the land [0776] that yet remaineth [07604]: all the borders [01552] of the Philistines [06430], and all Geshuri [01651],
3 From Sihor [07883], which is before [06440] Egypt [04714], even unto the borders [01366] of Ekron [06138] northward [06828], which is counted [02803] to the Canaanite [03669]: five [02568] lords [05633] of the Philistines [06430]; the Gazathites [05841], and the Ashdothites [0796], the Eshkalonites [0832], the Gittites [01663], and the Ekronites [06139]; also the Avites [05761]:
4 From the south [08486], all the land [0776] of the Canaanites [03669], and Mearah [04632] that is beside the Sidonians [06722], unto Aphek [0663], to the borders [01366] of the Amorites [0567]:
2 This is the land [0776] that yet remaineth [07604]: all the borders [01552] of the Philistines [06430], and all Geshuri [01651],
3 From Sihor [07883], which is before [06440] Egypt [04714], even unto the borders [01366] of Ekron [06138] northward [06828], which is counted [02803] to the Canaanite [03669]: five [02568] lords [05633] of the Philistines [06430]; the Gazathites [05841], and the Ashdothites [0796], the Eshkalonites [0832], the Gittites [01663], and the Ekronites [06139]; also the Avites [05761]:
4 From the south [08486], all the land [0776] of the Canaanites [03669], and Mearah [04632] that is beside the Sidonians [06722], unto Aphek [0663], to the borders [01366] of the Amorites [0567]:
5 And the land [0776] of the Giblites [01382], and all Lebanon [03844], toward the sunrising [04217] [08121], from Baalgad [01171] under mount [02022] Hermon [02768] unto the entering [0935] into Hamath [02574].
6 All the inhabitants [03427] of the hill country [02022] from Lebanon [03844] unto Misrephothmaim [04956], and all the Sidonians [06722], them will I drive out [03423] from before [06440] the children [01121] of Israel [03478]: only divide thou it by lot [05307] unto the Israelites [03478] for an inheritance [05159], as I have commanded [06680] thee.
1 And it came to pass a long [07227] time [03117] after [0310] that the LORD [03068] had given rest [05117] unto Israel [03478] from all their enemies [0341] round about [05439], that Joshua [03091] waxed old [02204] and stricken [0935] in age [03117].
11 Now Abraham [085] and Sarah [08283] were old [02205] and well stricken [0935] in age [03117]; and it ceased [02308] to be with Sarah [08283] after the manner [0734] of women [0802].
1 And Abraham [085] was old [02204], and well stricken [0935] in age [03117]: and the LORD [03068] had blessed [01288] Abraham [085] in all things.
6 All the inhabitants [03427] of the hill country [02022] from Lebanon [03844] unto Misrephothmaim [04956], and all the Sidonians [06722], them will I drive out [03423] from before [06440] the children [01121] of Israel [03478]: only divide thou it by lot [05307] unto the Israelites [03478] for an inheritance [05159], as I have commanded [06680] thee.
1 Now Joshua [03091] was old [02204] and stricken [0935] in years [03117]; and the LORD [03068] said [0559] unto him, Thou art old [02204] and stricken [0935] in years [03117], and there remaineth [07604] yet very [03966] much [07235] land [0776] to be possessed [03423].
2 This is the land [0776] that yet remaineth [07604]: all the borders [01552] of the Philistines [06430], and all Geshuri [01651],
3 From Sihor [07883], which is before [06440] Egypt [04714], even unto the borders [01366] of Ekron [06138] northward [06828], which is counted [02803] to the Canaanite [03669]: five [02568] lords [05633] of the Philistines [06430]; the Gazathites [05841], and the Ashdothites [0796], the Eshkalonites [0832], the Gittites [01663], and the Ekronites [06139]; also the Avites [05761]:
4 From the south [08486], all the land [0776] of the Canaanites [03669], and Mearah [04632] that is beside the Sidonians [06722], unto Aphek [0663], to the borders [01366] of the Amorites [0567]:
5 And the land [0776] of the Giblites [01382], and all Lebanon [03844], toward the sunrising [04217] [08121], from Baalgad [01171] under mount [02022] Hermon [02768] unto the entering [0935] into Hamath [02574].
6 All the inhabitants [03427] of the hill country [02022] from Lebanon [03844] unto Misrephothmaim [04956], and all the Sidonians [06722], them will I drive out [03423] from before [06440] the children [01121] of Israel [03478]: only divide thou it by lot [05307] unto the Israelites [03478] for an inheritance [05159], as I have commanded [06680] thee.
7 Now therefore divide [02505] this land [0776] for an inheritance [05159] unto the nine [08672] tribes [07626], and the half [02677] tribe [07626] of Manasseh [04519],
1 Now Joshua [03091] was old [02204] and stricken [0935] in years [03117]; and the LORD [03068] said [0559] unto him, Thou art old [02204] and stricken [0935] in years [03117], and there remaineth [07604] yet very [03966] much [07235] land [0776] to be possessed [03423].
1 Now Joshua [03091] was old [02204] and stricken [0935] in years [03117]; and the LORD [03068] said [0559] unto him, Thou art old [02204] and stricken [0935] in years [03117], and there remaineth [07604] yet very [03966] much [07235] land [0776] to be possessed [03423].
2 This is the land [0776] that yet remaineth [07604]: all the borders [01552] of the Philistines [06430], and all Geshuri [01651],

6 All the inhabitants [03427] of the hill country [02022] from Lebanon [03844] unto Misrephothmaim [04956], and all the Sidonians [06722], them will I drive out [03423] from before [06440] the children [01121] of Israel [03478]: only divide thou it by lot [05307] unto the Israelites [03478] for an inheritance [05159], as I have commanded [06680] thee.
7 Now therefore divide [02505] this land [0776] for an inheritance [05159] unto the nine [08672] tribes [07626], and the half [02677] tribe [07626] of Manasseh [04519],
