Joshua 13:7-19 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

7. Therefore, divide this land as an inheritance to the nine tribes and half the tribe of Manasseh.”

8. With the other half of the tribe, the Reubenites and Gadites had received the inheritance Moses gave them beyond the Jordan to the east, just as Moses the Lord’s servant had given them:

9. From Aroer on the rim of the Arnon Valley, along with the city in the middle of the valley, all the Medeba plateau as far as Dibon,

10. and all the cities of Sihon king of the Amorites, who reigned in Heshbon, to the border of the Ammonites;

11. also Gilead and the territory of the Geshurites and Maacathites, all Mount Hermon, and all Bashan to Salecah —

12. the whole kingdom of Og in Bashan, who reigned in Ashtaroth and Edrei; he was one of the remaining Rephaim.Moses struck them down and drove them out,

13. but the Israelites did not drive out the Geshurites and Maacathites. So Geshur and Maacath live in Israel to this day.

14. He did not give any inheritance to the tribe of Levi. This was its inheritance, just as He had promised: the offerings made by fire to the Lord, the God of Israel.

15. To the tribe of the Reubenites by their clans, Moses gave

16. this as their territory:From Aroer on the rim of the Arnon Valley, along with the city in the middle of the valley, to the whole plateau as far as Medeba,

17. with Heshbon and all its cities on the plateau — Dibon, Bamoth-baal, Beth-baal-meon,

18. Jahaz, Kedemoth, Mephaath,

19. Kiriathaim, Sibmah, Zereth-shahar on the hill in the valley,
