<< Joshua 13 >>
GOD'S WORD ® Translation
 

17It included Heshbon and all its cities on the plateau, Dibon, Bamoth Baal, Beth Baal Meon, 18Jahaz, Kedemoth, Mephaath, 19Kiriathaim, Sibmah, Zereth Shahar on the mountain in the valley, 20Beth Peor, the slopes of Pisgah, and Beth Jeshimoth. 21It also included all the cities of the plateau, the whole kingdom of King Sihon of the Amorites, who ruled in Heshbon. Moses defeated him and Midian's leaders-Evi, Rekem, Zur, Hur, and Reba. They were princes of Sihon, who lived in that country. 22Along with these leaders, the people of Israel also killed Balaam, son of Beor, who used black magic. 23The border of Reuben's territory was the Jordan River. This was Reuben's inheritance for its families. It included cities with their villages.

24Moses gave some land as an inheritance to the tribe of Gad for its families. 25Their territory included Jazer, all the cities of Gilead, and half of Ammon as far as Aroer, which is by Rabbah. 26It extended from Heshbon to Ramath Mizpeh and Betonim, and from Mahanaim as far as the border of Lidbir. 27In the Jordan Valley it included Beth Haram, Beth Nimrah, Succoth, and Zaphon, the rest of the kingdom of King Sihon of Heshbon. The Jordan River served as its western border, extending to the end of the Sea of Galilee. 28This was Gad's inheritance for its families. It included cities with their villages.

29Moses gave some land as an inheritance to half of the tribe of Manasseh. It was only for the families of that half of the tribe. 30Their territory extended from Mahanaim and included all of Bashan (the whole kingdom of King Og of Bashan) and all 60 settlements of Jair that were in Bashan. 31It also included half of Gilead with Ashtaroth and Edrei, the royal cities of Og in Bashan. They were given to half the families of Machir, son of Manasseh, [for their inheritance].

32This is the land that Moses distributed on Moab's plains, east of the Jordan River near Jericho. 33Moses did not give any land as an inheritance to the tribe of Levi. The LORD God of Israel is what they inherited, as he had promised them.
