New Living Translation

Joshua 13:8-16 New Living Translation (NLT)

8. Half the tribe of Manasseh and the tribes of Reuben and Gad had already received their grants of land on the east side of the Jordan, for Moses, the servant of the lord, had previously assigned this land to them.

9. Their territory extended from Aroer on the edge of the Arnon Gorge (including the town in the middle of the gorge) to the plain beyond Medeba, as far as Dibon.

10. It also included all the towns of King Sihon of the Amorites, who had reigned in Heshbon, and extended as far as the borders of Ammon.

11. It included Gilead, the territory of the kingdoms of Geshur and Maacah, all of Mount Hermon, all of Bashan as far as Salecah,

12. and all the territory of King Og of Bashan, who had reigned in Ashtaroth and Edrei. King Og was the last of the Rephaites, for Moses had attacked them and driven them out.

13. But the Israelites failed to drive out the people of Geshur and Maacah, so they continue to live among the Israelites to this day.

14. Moses did not assign any allotment of land to the tribe of Levi. Instead, as the lord had promised them, their allotment came from the offerings burned on the altar to the lord, the God of Israel.

15. Moses had assigned the following area to the clans of the tribe of Reuben.

16. Their territory extended from Aroer on the edge of the Arnon Gorge (including the town in the middle of the gorge) to the plain beyond Medeba.
