¹These are the inheritances which the children of Israel took in the land of Canaan, which Eleazar the priest, Joshua the son of Nun, and the heads of the fathers’ houses of the tribes of the children of Israel, distributed to them,

KJVAnd these are the countries which the children^H1121 of Israel^H3478 inherited^H5157^(H8804) in the land^H776 of Canaan^H3667, which Eleazar^H499 the priest^H3548, and Joshua^H3091 the son^H1121 of Nun^H5126, and the heads^H7218 of the fathers^H1 of the tribes^H4294 of the children^H1121 of Israel^H3478, distributed for inheritance^H5157^(H8765) to them.

² by the lot of their inheritance, as Yahweh commanded by Moses, for the nine tribes, and for the half-tribe.

KJVBy lot^H1486 was their inheritance^H5159, as the LORD^H3068 commanded^H6680^(H8765) by the hand^H3027 of Moses^H4872, for the nine^H8672 tribes^H4294, and for the half^H2677 tribe^H4294.

³ For Moses had given the inheritance of the two tribes and the half-tribe beyond the Jordan; but to the Levites he gave no inheritance among them.

KJVFor Moses^H4872 had given^H5414^(H8804) the inheritance^H5159 of two^H8147 tribes^H4294 and an half^H2677 tribe^H4294 on the other side^H5676 Jordan^H3383: but unto the Levites^H3881 he gave^H5414^(H8804) none inheritance^H5159 among^H8432 them.

⁴ For the children of Joseph were two tribes, Manasseh and Ephraim. They gave no portion to the Levites in the land, except cities to dwell in, with their pasture lands for their livestock and for their property.

KJVFor the children^H1121 of Joseph^H3130 were two^H8147 tribes^H4294, Manasseh^H4519 and Ephraim^H669: therefore they gave^H5414^(H8804) no part^H2506 unto the Levites^H3881 in the land^H776, save cities^H5892 to dwell^H3427^(H8800) in, with their suburbs^H4054 for their cattle^H4735 and for their substance^H7075.

⁵ The children of Israel did as Yahweh commanded Moses, and they divided the land.

KJVAs the LORD^H3068 commanded^H6680^(H8765) Moses^H4872, so the children^H1121 of Israel^H3478 did^H6213^(H8804), and they divided^H2505^(H8799) the land^H776.

⁶ Then the children of Judah came near to Joshua in Gilgal. Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite said to him, “You know the thing that Yahweh spoke to Moses the man of God concerning me and concerning you in Kadesh Barnea.

KJVThen the children^H1121 of Judah^H3063 came^H5066^(H8799) unto Joshua^H3091 in Gilgal^H1537: and Caleb^H3612 the son^H1121 of Jephunneh^H3312 the Kenezite^H7074 said^H559^(H8799) unto him, Thou knowest^H3045^(H8804) the thing^H1697 that the LORD^H3068 said^H1696^(H8765) unto Moses^H4872 the man^H376 of God^H430 concerning me^H182 and thee^H182 in Kadeshbarnea^H6947.

⁷ I was forty years old when Moses the servant of Yahweh sent me from Kadesh Barnea to spy out the land. I brought him word again as it was in my heart.

KJVForty^H705 years^H8141 old^H1121 was I when Moses^H4872 the servant^H5650 of the LORD^H3068 sent^H7971^(H8800) me from Kadeshbarnea^H6947 to espy out^H7270^(H8763) the land^H776; and I brought^H7725 him word^H1697 again^H7725^(H8686) as it was in mine heart^H3824.

⁸ Nevertheless, my brothers who went up with me made the heart of the people melt; but I wholly followed Yahweh my God.

KJVNevertheless my brethren^H251 that went up^H5927^(H8804) with me made the heart^H3820 of the people^H5971 melt^H4529^(H8689): but I wholly^H4390^(H8765) followed^H310 the LORD^H3068 my God^H430.

⁹ Moses swore on that day, saying, ‘Surely the land where you walked shall be an inheritance to you and to your children forever, because you have wholly followed Yahweh my God.’

KJVAnd Moses^H4872 sware^H7650^(H8735) on that day^H3117, saying^H559^(H8800), Surely the land^H776 whereon thy feet^H7272 have trodden^H1869^(H8804) shall be thine inheritance^H5159, and thy children's^H1121 for^H5704 ever^H5769, because thou hast wholly^H4390^(H8765) followed^H310 the LORD^H3068 my God^H430.

¹⁰ “Now, behold, Yahweh has kept me alive, as he spoke, these forty-five years, from the time that Yahweh spoke this word to Moses, while Israel walked in the wilderness. Now, behold, I am eighty-five years old, today.

KJVAnd now, behold, the LORD^H3068 hath kept me alive^H2421^(H8689), as he said^H1696^(H8765), these forty^H705 and five^H2568 years^H8141, even since^H227 the LORD^H3068 spake^H1696^(H8765) this word^H1697 unto Moses^H4872, while the children of Israel^H3478 wandered^H1980^(H8804) in the wilderness^H4057: and now, lo, I am this day^H3117 fourscore^H8084 and five^H2568 years^H8141 old^H1121.

¹¹ As yet I am as strong today as I was in the day that Moses sent me. As my strength was then, even so is my strength now for war, to go out and to come in.

KJVAs yet I am as strong^H2389 this day^H3117 as I was in the day^H3117 that Moses^H4872 sent^H7971^(H8800) me: as my strength^H3581 was then, even so is my strength^H3581 now, for war^H4421, both to go out^H3318^(H8800), and to come in^H935^(H8800).

¹² Now therefore give me this hill country, of which Yahweh spoke in that day; for you heard in that day how the Anakim were there, and great and fortified cities. It may be that Yahweh will be with me, and I shall drive them out, as Yahweh said.”

KJVNow therefore give^H5414^(H8798) me this mountain^H2022, whereof the LORD^H3068 spake^H1696^(H8765) in that day^H3117; for thou heardest^H8085^(H8804) in that day^H3117 how the Anakims^H6062 were there, and that the cities^H5892 were great^H1419 and fenced^H1219^(H8803): if so be^H194 the LORD^H3068 will be with^H854 me, then I shall be able to drive them out^H3423^(H8689), as the LORD^H3068 said^H1696^(H8765).

¹³ Joshua blessed him; and he gave Hebron to Caleb the son of Jephunneh for an inheritance.

KJVAnd Joshua^H3091 blessed^H1288^(H8762) him, and gave^H5414^(H8799) unto Caleb^H3612 the son^H1121 of Jephunneh^H3312 Hebron^H2275 for an inheritance^H5159.

¹⁴ Therefore Hebron became the inheritance of Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite to this day, because he followed Yahweh, the God of Israel wholeheartedly.

KJVHebron^H2275 therefore became the inheritance^H5159 of Caleb^H3612 the son^H1121 of Jephunneh^H3312 the Kenezite^H7074 unto this day^H3117, because that he wholly^H4390^(H8765) followed^H310 the LORD^H3068 God^H430 of Israel^H3478.

¹⁵ Now the name of Hebron before was Kiriath Arba, after the greatest man among the Anakim. Then the land had rest from war.

KJVAnd the name^H8034 of Hebron^H2275 before^H6440 was Kirjatharba^H7153; which Arba was a great^H1419 man^H120 among the Anakims^H6062. And the land^H776 had rest^H8252^(H8804) from war^H4421.

WEB·Joshua 13

¹Now Joshua was old and well advanced in years. Yahweh said to him, “You are old and advanced in years, and there remains yet very much land to be possessed.

KJVNow Joshua^H3091 was old^H2204^(H8804) and stricken^H935^(H8804) in years^H3117; and the LORD^H3068 said^H559^(H8799) unto him, Thou art old^H2204^(H8804) and stricken^H935^(H8804) in years^H3117, and there remaineth^H7604^(H8738) yet very^H3966 much^H7235^(H8687) land^H776 to be possessed^H3423^(H8800).

³ from the Shihor, which is before Egypt, even to the border of Ekron northward, which is counted as Canaanite; the five lords of the Philistines; the Gazites, and the Ashdodites, the Ashkelonites, the Gittites, and the Ekronites; also the Avvim,

KJVFrom Sihor^H7883, which is before^H6440 Egypt^H4714, even unto the borders^H1366 of Ekron^H6138 northward^H6828, which is counted^H2803^(H8735) to the Canaanite^H3669: five^H2568 lords^H5633 of the Philistines^H6430; the Gazathites^H5841, and the Ashdothites^H796, the Eshkalonites^H832, the Gittites^H1663, and the Ekronites^H6139; also the Avites^H5761:

⁴ on the south; all the land of the Canaanites, and Mearah that belongs to the Sidonians, to Aphek, to the border of the Amorites;

KJVFrom the south^H8486, all the land^H776 of the Canaanites^H3669, and Mearah^H4632 that is beside the Sidonians^H6722, unto Aphek^H663, to the borders^H1366 of the Amorites^H567:

⁵ and the land of the Gebalites, and all Lebanon, toward the sunrise, from Baal Gad under Mount Hermon to the entrance of Hamath;

KJVAnd the land^H776 of the Giblites^H1382, and all Lebanon^H3844, toward the sunrising^H4217^H8121, from Baalgad^H1171 under mount^H2022 Hermon^H2768 unto the entering^H935^(H8800) into Hamath^H2574.

⁶ all the inhabitants of the hill country from Lebanon to Misrephoth Maim, even all the Sidonians. I will drive them out from before the children of Israel. Just allocate it to Israel for an inheritance, as I have commanded you.

KJVAll the inhabitants^H3427^(H8802) of the hill country^H2022 from Lebanon^H3844 unto Misrephothmaim^H4956, and all the Sidonians^H6722, them will I drive out^H3423^(H8686) from before^H6440 the children^H1121 of Israel^H3478: only divide thou it by lot^H5307^(H8685) unto the Israelites^H3478 for an inheritance^H5159, as I have commanded^H6680^(H8765) thee.

⁷ Now therefore divide this land for an inheritance to the nine tribes and the half-tribe of Manasseh.”

KJVNow therefore divide^H2505^(H8761) this land^H776 for an inheritance^H5159 unto the nine^H8672 tribes^H7626, and the half^H2677 tribe^H7626 of Manasseh^H4519,

⁸ 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:

KJVWith whom the Reubenites^H7206 and the Gadites^H1425 have received^H3947^(H8804) their inheritance^H5159, which Moses^H4872 gave^H5414^(H8804) them, beyond^H5676 Jordan^H3383 eastward^H4217, even as Moses^H4872 the servant^H5650 of the LORD^H3068 gave^H5414^(H8804) them;

⁹ 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;

KJVFrom Aroer^H6177, that is upon the bank^H8193 of the river^H5158 Arnon^H769, and the city^H5892 that is in the midst^H8432 of the river^H5158, and all the plain^H4334 of Medeba^H4311 unto Dibon^H1769;

KJVAll the kingdom^H4468 of Og^H5747 in Bashan^H1316, which reigned^H4427^(H8804) in Ashtaroth^H6252 and in Edrei^H154, who remained^H7604^(H8738) of the remnant^H3499 of the giants^H7497: for these did Moses^H4872 smite^H5221^(H8686), and cast them out^H3423^(H8686).

¹³ Nevertheless the children of Israel didn’t drive out the Geshurites, nor the Maacathites: but Geshur and Maacath live within Israel to this day.

KJVNevertheless the children^H1121 of Israel^H3478 expelled^H3423^(H8689) not the Geshurites^H1651, nor the Maachathites^H4602: but the Geshurites^H1650 and the Maachathites^H4601 dwell^H3427^(H8799) among^H7130 the Israelites^H3478 until this day^H3117.

¹⁴ Only he gave no inheritance to the tribe of Levi. The offerings of Yahweh, the God of Israel, made by fire are his inheritance, as he spoke to him.

KJVOnly unto the tribe^H7626 of Levi^H3878 he gave^H5414^(H8804) none inheritance^H5159; the sacrifices^H801 of the LORD^H3068 God^H430 of Israel^H3478 made by fire^H801 are their inheritance^H5159, as he said^H1696^(H8765) unto them.
