1Now Joshua was old [and] advanced in years, and the LORD said to him, “You have become old [and] advanced in years, but very much of the land remains to be possessed. 1וִיהוֹשֻׁ֣עַ זָקֵ֔ן בָּ֖א בַּיָּמִ֑ים וַיֹּ֨אמֶר יְהוָ֜ה אֵלָ֗יו אַתָּ֤ה זָקַ֙נְתָּה֙ בָּ֣אתָ בַיָּמִ֔ים וְהָאָ֛רֶץ נִשְׁאֲרָ֥ה הַרְבֵּֽה־ מְאֹ֖ד לְרִשְׁתָּֽהּ׃
2This is the land that remains: All the territory of the Philistines and the Geshurites, 2זֹ֥את הָאָ֖רֶץ הַנִּשְׁאָ֑רֶת כָּל־ גְּלִיל֥וֹת הַפְּלִשְׁתִּ֖ים וְכָל־ הַגְּשׁוּרִֽי׃
3from the Shihor east of Egypt to the territory of Ekron on the north (considered to be Canaanite [territory])— that of the five Philistine rulers of Gaza, Ashdod, Ashkelon, Gath, and Ekron, as well as the Avvites; 3מִֽן־ הַשִּׁיח֞וֹר אֲשֶׁ֣ר ׀ עַל־ פְּנֵ֣י מִצְרַ֗יִם וְעַ֨ד גְּב֤וּל עֶקְרוֹן֙ צָפ֔וֹנָה לַֽכְּנַעֲנִ֖י תֵּחָשֵׁ֑ב חֲמֵ֣שֶׁת ׀ סַרְנֵ֣י פְלִשְׁתִּ֗ים הָעַזָּתִ֤י וְהָאַשְׁדּוֹדִי֙ הָאֶשְׁקְלוֹנִ֣י הַגִּתִּ֔י וְהָעֶקְרוֹנִ֖י וְהָעַוִּֽים׃
4to the south, all the land of the Canaanites, from Mearah of the Sidonians to Aphek, as far as the border of the Amorites; 4מִתֵּימָ֞ן כָּל־ אֶ֣רֶץ הַֽכְּנַעֲנִ֗י וּמְעָרָ֛ה אֲשֶׁ֥ר לַצִּידֹנִ֖ים עַד־ אֲפֵ֑קָה עַ֖ד גְּב֥וּל הָאֱמֹרִֽי׃
5the land of the Gebalites; and all Lebanon east from Baal-gad below Mount Hermon to Lebo-hamath. 5וְהָאָ֣רֶץ הַגִּבְלִ֗י וְכָל־ הַלְּבָנוֹן֙ מִזְרַ֣ח הַשֶּׁ֔מֶשׁ מִבַּ֣עַל גָּ֔ד תַּ֖חַת הַר־ חֶרְמ֑וֹן עַ֖ד לְב֥וֹא חֲמָֽת׃
6All the inhabitants of the hill country from Lebanon to Misrephoth-maim— all the Sidonians— I Myself will drive out before the Israelites. Be sure to divide it by lot as an inheritance to Israel, as I have commanded you. 6כָּל־ יֹשְׁבֵ֣י הָ֠הָר מִֽן־ הַלְּבָנ֞וֹן עַד־ מִשְׂרְפֹ֥ת מַ֙יִם֙ כָּל־ צִ֣ידֹנִ֔ים אָֽנֹכִי֙ אוֹרִישֵׁ֔ם מִפְּנֵ֖י בְּנֵ֣י יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל רַ֠ק הַפִּלֶ֤הָ לְיִשְׂרָאֵל֙ בְּֽנַחֲלָ֔ה כַּאֲשֶׁ֖ר צִוִּיתִֽיךָ׃
7Now therefore divide this land as an inheritance to the nine tribes and the half-tribe of Manasseh.” 7וְעַתָּ֗ה חַלֵּ֞ק אֶת־ הָאָ֧רֶץ הַזֹּ֛את בְּנַחֲלָ֖ה לְתִשְׁעַ֣ת הַשְּׁבָטִ֑ים וַחֲצִ֖י הַשֵּׁ֥בֶט הַֽמְנַשֶּֽׁה׃
8The other [half of Manasseh], along with the Reubenites and Gadites, had received the inheritance Moses had given them beyond the Jordan to the east, just as Moses the servant of the LORD had assigned to them: 8עִמּ֗וֹ הָרֽאוּבֵנִי֙ וְהַגָּדִ֔י לָקְח֖וּ נַחֲלָתָ֑ם אֲשֶׁר֩ נָתַ֨ן לָהֶ֜ם מֹשֶׁ֗ה בְּעֵ֤בֶר הַיַּרְדֵּן֙ מִזְרָ֔חָה כַּאֲשֶׁר֙ נָתַ֣ן לָהֶ֔ם מֹשֶׁ֖ה עֶ֥בֶד יְהוָֽה׃
9[The area] from Aroer on the rim of the Arnon Valley, along with the city in the middle of the valley, the whole plateau of Medeba as far as Dibon, 9מֵעֲרוֹעֵ֡ר אֲשֶׁר֩ עַל־ שְׂפַת־ נַ֨חַל אַרְנ֜וֹן וְהָעִ֨יר אֲשֶׁ֧ר בְּתוֹךְ־ הַנַּ֛חַל וְכָל־ הַמִּישֹׁ֥ר מֵידְבָ֖א עַד־ דִּיבֽוֹן׃
10and all the cities of Sihon king of the Amorites who reigned in Heshbon, as far as the border of the Ammonites; 10וְכֹ֗ל עָרֵי֙ סִיחוֹן֙ מֶ֣לֶךְ הָאֱמֹרִ֔י אֲשֶׁ֥ר מָלַ֖ךְ בְּחֶשְׁבּ֑וֹן עַד־ גְּב֖וּל בְּנֵ֥י עַמּֽוֹן׃
11also Gilead and the territory of the Geshurites and Maacathites, all of Mount Hermon, and all Bashan as far as Salecah— 11וְהַגִּלְעָ֞ד וּגְב֧וּל הַגְּשׁוּרִ֣י וְהַמַּעֲכָתִ֗י וְכֹ֨ל הַ֥ר חֶרְמ֛וֹן וְכָל־ הַבָּשָׁ֖ן עַד־ סַלְכָֽה׃
12the whole kingdom of Og in Bashan, who had reigned in Ashtaroth and Edrei and had remained as a remnant of the Rephaim. Moses struck them down and dispossessed them, 12כָּל־ מַמְלְכ֥וּת עוֹג֙ בַּבָּשָׁ֔ן אֲשֶׁר־ מָלַ֥ךְ בְּעַשְׁתָּר֖וֹת וּבְאֶדְרֶ֑עִי ה֤וּא נִשְׁאַר֙ מִיֶּ֣תֶר הָרְפָאִ֔ים וַיַּכֵּ֥ם מֹשֶׁ֖ה וַיֹּרִשֵֽׁם׃
13but the Israelites did not drive out the Geshurites or the Maacathites. So Geshur and Maacath dwell among the Israelites to this day. 13וְלֹ֤א הוֹרִ֙ישׁוּ֙ בְּנֵ֣י יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל אֶת־ הַגְּשׁוּרִ֖י וְאֶת־ הַמַּעֲכָתִ֑י וַיֵּ֨שֶׁב גְּשׁ֤וּר וּמַֽעֲכָת֙ בְּקֶ֣רֶב יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל עַ֖ד הַיּ֥וֹם הַזֶּֽה׃
14To the tribe of Levi, however, [Moses] had given no inheritance. The offerings made by fire to the LORD, the God of Israel, are their inheritance, as He promised them. 14רַ֚ק לְשֵׁ֣בֶט הַלֵּוִ֔י לֹ֥א נָתַ֖ן נַחֲלָ֑ה אִשֵּׁ֨י יְהוָ֜ה אֱלֹהֵ֤י יִשְׂרָאֵל֙ ה֣וּא נַחֲלָת֔וֹ כַּאֲשֶׁ֖ר דִּבֶּר־ לֽוֹ׃ ס
15[This is what] Moses had given to the clans of the tribe of Reuben: 15וַיִּתֵּ֣ן מֹשֶׁ֔ה לְמַטֵּ֥ה בְנֵֽי־ רְאוּבֵ֖ן לְמִשְׁפְּחֹתָֽם׃
16The territory from Aroer on the rim of the Arnon Valley, along with the city in the middle of the valley, to the whole plateau beyond Medeba, 16וַיְהִ֨י לָהֶ֜ם הַגְּב֗וּל מֵעֲרוֹעֵ֡ר אֲשֶׁר֩ עַל־ שְׂפַת־ נַ֨חַל אַרְנ֜וֹן וְהָעִ֨יר אֲשֶׁ֧ר בְּתוֹךְ־ הַנַּ֛חַל וְכָל־ הַמִּישֹׁ֖ר עַל־ מֵידְבָֽא׃
17with Heshbon and all its cities on the plateau— Dibon, Bamoth-baal, Beth-baal-meon, 17חֶשְׁבּ֥וֹן וְכָל־ עָרֶ֖יהָ אֲשֶׁ֣ר בַּמִּישֹׁ֑ר דִּיבוֹן֙ וּבָמ֣וֹת בַּ֔עַל וּבֵ֖ית בַּ֥עַל מְעֽוֹן׃
18Jahaz, Kedemoth, Mephaath, 18וְיַ֥הְצָה וּקְדֵמֹ֖ת וּמֵפָֽעַת׃
19Kiriathaim, Sibmah, Zereth-shahar on the hill in the valley, 19וְקִרְיָתַ֣יִם וְשִׂבְמָ֔ה וְצֶ֥רֶת הַשַּׁ֖חַר בְּהַ֥ר הָעֵֽמֶק׃
20Beth-peor, the slopes of Pisgah, and Beth-jeshimoth— 20וּבֵ֥ית פְּע֛וֹר וְאַשְׁדּ֥וֹת הַפִּסְגָּ֖ה וּבֵ֥ית הַיְשִׁמֽוֹת׃
21all the cities of the plateau and all the kingdom of Sihon king of the Amorites, who reigned in Heshbon [until] Moses killed him and the chiefs of Midian— Evi, Rekem, Zur, Hur, and Reba— the princes of Sihon who lived in the land. 21וְכֹל֙ עָרֵ֣י הַמִּישֹׁ֔ר וְכָֽל־ מַמְלְכ֗וּת סִיחוֹן֙ מֶ֣לֶךְ הָאֱמֹרִ֔י אֲשֶׁ֥ר מָלַ֖ךְ בְּחֶשְׁבּ֑וֹן אֲשֶׁר֩ הִכָּ֨ה מֹשֶׁ֜ה אֹת֣וֹ ׀ וְאֶת־ נְשִׂיאֵ֣י מִדְיָ֗ן אֶת־ אֱוִ֤י וְאֶת־ רֶ֙קֶם֙ וְאֶת־ צ֤וּר וְאֶת־ חוּר֙ וְאֶת־ רֶ֔בַע נְסִיכֵ֣י סִיח֔וֹן יֹשְׁבֵ֖י הָאָֽרֶץ׃
22The Israelites also killed the diviner Balaam son of Beor [ along with the others] they put to the sword. 22וְאֶת־ בִּלְעָ֥ם בֶּן־ בְּע֖וֹר הַקּוֹסֵ֑ם הָרְג֧וּ בְנֵֽי־ יִשְׂרָאֵ֛ל בַּחֶ֖רֶב אֶל־ חַלְלֵיהֶֽם׃
23And the border of the Reubenites was the bank of the Jordan. This was the inheritance of the clans of the Reubenites, including the cities and villages. 23וַיְהִ֗י גְּבוּל֙ בְּנֵ֣י רְאוּבֵ֔ן הַיַּרְדֵּ֖ן וּגְב֑וּל זֹ֣את נַחֲלַ֤ת בְּנֵֽי־ רְאוּבֵן֙ לְמִשְׁפְּחֹתָ֔ם הֶעָרִ֖ים וְחַצְרֵיהֶֽן׃ פ
24[This is what] Moses had given to the clans of the tribe of Gad: 24וַיִּתֵּ֤ן מֹשֶׁה֙ לְמַטֵּה־ גָ֔ד לִבְנֵי־ גָ֖ד לְמִשְׁפְּחֹתָֽם׃
25The territory of Jazer, all the cities of Gilead, and half the land of the Ammonites as far as Aroer, near Rabbah; 25וַיְהִ֤י לָהֶם֙ הַגְּב֔וּל יַעְזֵר֙ וְכָל־ עָרֵ֣י הַגִּלְעָ֔ד וַחֲצִ֕י אֶ֖רֶץ בְּנֵ֣י עַמּ֑וֹן עַד־ עֲרוֹעֵ֕ר אֲשֶׁ֖ר עַל־ פְּנֵ֥י רַבָּֽה׃
26from Heshbon to Ramath-mizpeh and Betonim, and from Mahanaim to the border of Debir; 26וּמֵחֶשְׁבּ֛וֹן עַד־ רָמַ֥ת הַמִּצְפֶּ֖ה וּבְטֹנִ֑ים וּמִֽמַּחֲנַ֖יִם עַד־ גְּב֥וּל לִדְבִֽר׃
27and in the valley, Beth-haram, Beth-nimrah, Succoth, and Zaphon, with the rest of the kingdom of Sihon king of Heshbon (the territory on the east side of the Jordan up to the edge of the Sea of Chinnereth). 27וּבָעֵ֡מֶק בֵּ֣ית הָרָם֩ וּבֵ֨ית נִמְרָ֜ה וְסֻכּ֣וֹת וְצָפ֗וֹן יֶ֚תֶר מַמְלְכ֗וּת סִיחוֹן֙ מֶ֣לֶךְ חֶשְׁבּ֔וֹן הַיַּרְדֵּ֖ן וּגְבֻ֑ל עַד־ קְצֵה֙ יָם־ כִּנֶּ֔רֶת עֵ֥בֶר הַיַּרְדֵּ֖ן מִזְרָֽחָה׃
28This was the inheritance of the clans of the Gadites, including the cities and villages. 28זֹ֛את נַחֲלַ֥ת בְּנֵי־ גָ֖ד לְמִשְׁפְּחֹתָ֑ם הֶעָרִ֖ים וְחַצְרֵיהֶֽם׃
29[This is what] Moses had given to the clans of the half-tribe of Manasseh, that is, to half the tribe of the descendants of Manasseh: 29וַיִּתֵּ֣ן מֹשֶׁ֔ה לַחֲצִ֖י שֵׁ֣בֶט מְנַשֶּׁ֑ה וַיְהִ֗י לַחֲצִ֛י מַטֵּ֥ה בְנֵֽי־ מְנַשֶּׁ֖ה לְמִשְׁפְּחוֹתָֽם׃
30The territory from Mahanaim through all Bashan— all the kingdom of Og king of Bashan, including all the towns of Jair that are in Bashan, sixty cities, 30וַיְהִ֣י גְבוּלָ֗ם מִמַּחֲנַ֨יִם כָּֽל־ הַבָּשָׁ֜ן כָּֽל־ מַמְלְכ֣וּת ׀ ע֣וֹג מֶֽלֶךְ־ הַבָּשָׁ֗ן וְכָל־ חַוֺּ֥ת יָאִ֛יר אֲשֶׁ֥ר בַּבָּשָׁ֖ן שִׁשִּׁ֥ים עִֽיר׃
31half of Gilead, also Ashtaroth and Edrei the royal cities of Og in Bashan. [All this was] for the clans of the descendants of Machir son of Manasseh, that is, half the descendants of Machir. 31וַחֲצִ֤י הַגִּלְעָד֙ וְעַשְׁתָּר֣וֹת וְאֶדְרֶ֔עִי עָרֵ֛י מַמְלְכ֥וּת ע֖וֹג בַּבָּשָׁ֑ן לִבְנֵ֤י מָכִיר֙ בֶּן־ מְנַשֶּׁ֔ה לַחֲצִ֥י בְנֵֽי־ מָכִ֖יר לְמִשְׁפְּחוֹתָֽם׃
32These {were the portions} Moses had given them on the plains of Moab beyond the Jordan, east of Jericho. 32אֵ֕לֶּה אֲשֶׁר־ נִחַ֥ל מֹשֶׁ֖ה בְּעַֽרְב֣וֹת מוֹאָ֑ב מֵעֵ֛בֶר לְיַרְדֵּ֥ן יְרִיח֖וֹ מִזְרָֽחָה׃ ס
33To the tribe of Levi, however, [Moses] had given no inheritance. The LORD, the God of Israel, is their inheritance, just as He had promised them. 33וּלְשֵׁ֙בֶט֙ הַלֵּוִ֔י לֹֽא־ נָתַ֥ן מֹשֶׁ֖ה נַחֲלָ֑ה יְהוָ֞ה אֱלֹהֵ֤י יִשְׂרָאֵל֙ ה֣וּא נַחֲלָתָ֔ם כַּאֲשֶׁ֖ר דִּבֶּ֥ר לָהֶֽם׃
