013:004 on the south; all the land of the Canaanites, and Mearah
that belongs to the Sidonians, to Aphek, to the border
of the Amorites;
013:005 and the land of the Gebalites, and all Lebanon, toward the sunrise,
from Baal Gad under Mount Hermon to the entrance of Hamath;
013:006 all 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.
013:007 Now therefore divide this land for an inheritance to the nine tribes,
and the half-tribe of Manasseh.
013:008 With 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:
013:009 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 to Dibon;
013:010 and all the cities of Sihon king of the Amorites, who reigned
in Heshbon, to the border of the children of Ammon;
013:011 and Gilead, and the border of the Geshurites and Maacathites,
and all Mount Hermon, and all Bashan to Salecah;
013:012 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 strike, and drove them out.
013:013 Nevertheless 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.
013:014 Only 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.
013:015 Moses gave to the tribe of the children of Reuben according
to their families.
013:016 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;
013:017 Heshbon, and all its cities that are in the plain; Dibon,
and Bamoth Baal, and Beth Baal Meon,
013:018 and Jahaz, and Kedemoth, and Mephaath,
013:019 and Kiriathaim, and Sibmah, and Zereth Shahar in the mount
of the valley,
013:020 and Beth Peor, and the slopes of Pisgah, and Beth Jeshimoth,
013:021 and 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.
013:022 Balaam also the son of Beor, the soothsayer, did the children
of Israel kill with the sword among the rest of their slain.
