Joshua 13

vihoshua zaqen ba bayyamim vayyomer Adonai elayw attah zaqantah bata vayyamim veha'arets nisharah harbeh-me'od lerishtah

Joshua was now old, advanced in years. GOD said to him, “You have grown old, you are advanced in years; and very much of the land still remains to be taken possession of.

zot ha'arets hannisharet kol-gelilot happelishtim vekhol-haggeshuri

This is the territory that remains: all the districts of the Philistines and all [those of] the Geshurites,

min-hashikhor asher al-pene mitsrayim ve'ad gevul eqron tsafonah lakkena'ani tekhashev khameshet sarne felishtim ha'azzati veha'ashdodi ha'eshqeloni haggitti veha'eqroni veha'avvim

from the Shihor, which is close to Egypt, to the territory of Ekron on the north, are accounted Canaanite, namely, those of the five lords of the Philistines—the Gazites, the Ashdodites, the Ashkelonites, the Gittites, and the Ekronites—and those of the Avvim

mitteman kol-erets hakkena'ani ume'arah asher latsidonim ad-afeqah ad gevul ha'emori

on the south; further, all the Canaanite country from Mearah of the Sidonians to Aphek at the Amorite border

veha'arets haggivli vekhol-hallevanon mizrakh hashemesh mibba'al gad takhat har-khermon ad levo khamat

and the land of the Gebalites, with the whole [Valley of the] Lebanon, from Baal-gad at the foot of Mount Hermon to Lebo-hamath on the east,

kol-yosheve hahar min-hallevanon ad-misrefot mayim kol-tsidonim anokhi orishem mippene bene yisra'el raq happileha leyisra'el benakhalah ka'asher tsivvitikha

with all the inhabitants of the hill country from the [Valley of the] Lebanon to Misrephoth-maim, namely, all the Sidonians. I Myself will dispossess those nations for the Israelites; you have only to apportion their lands by lot among Israel, as I have commanded you.

ve'attah khalleq et-ha'arets hazzot benakhalah letishat hashevatim vakhatsi hashevet hamenasheh

Therefore, divide this territory into hereditary portions for the nine tribes and the half-tribe of Manasseh.”

immo haruveni vehaggadi laqekhu nakhalatam asher natan lahem mosheh be'ever hayyarden mizrakhah ka'asher natan lahem mosheh eved Adonai

Now the Reubenites and the Gadites, along with the other half-tribe, had already received the shares that Moses assigned to them on the east side of the Jordan—as assigned to them by Moses the servant of GOD:

me'aro'er asher al-sefat-nakhal arnon veha'ir asher betokh-hannakhal vekhol-hammishor medeva ad-divon

from Aroer on the edge of the Wadi Arnon and the town in the middle of the wadi, the entire Tableland [from] Medeba to Dibon,

vekhol are sikhon melekh ha'emori asher malakh bekheshbon ad-gevul bene ammon

embracing all the towns of King Sihon of the Amorites, who had reigned in Heshbon, up to the border of the Ammonites;

vehaggilad ugevul haggeshuri vehamma'akhati vekhol har khermon vekhol-habbashan ad-salkhah

further, Gilead, the territories of the Geshurites and the Maacathites, and all of Mount Hermon, and the whole of Bashan up to Salcah—

kol-mamlekhut og babbashan asher-malakh be'ashtarot uve'edre'i hu nishar miyyeter harefa'im vayyakkem mosheh vayyorishem

the entire kingdom of Og, who had reigned over Bashan at Ashtaroth and at Edrei. (He was the last of the remaining Rephaim.) These were defeated and dispossessed by Moses;

velo horishu bene yisra'el et-haggeshuri ve'et-hamma'akhati vayyeshev geshur uma'akhat beqerev yisra'el ad hayyom hazzeh

but the Israelites failed to dispossess the Geshurites and the Maacathites, and Geshur and Maacath remain among Israel to this day.

raq leshevet hallevi lo natan nakhalah ishe Adonai elohe yisra'el hu nakhalato ka'asher dibber-lo

No hereditary portion, however, was assigned to the tribe of Levi, their portion being the fire offerings of the ETERNAL, the God of Israel, as [God] spoke concerning them.

vayyitten mosheh lematteh vene-re'uven lemishpekhotam

And so Moses assigned [the following] to the tribe of the Reubenites, for their various clans,

vayehi lahem haggevul me'aro'er asher al-sefat-nakhal arnon veha'ir asher betokh-hannakhal vekhol-hammishor al-medeva

and it became theirs: The territory from Aroer, on the edge of the Wadi Arnon and the town in the middle of the wadi, up to Medeba—the entire Tableland—

kheshbon vekhol-areha asher bammishor divon uvamot ba'al uvet ba'al me'on

Heshbon and all its towns in the Tableland: Dibon, Bamoth-baal, Beth-baal-meon,

veyahtsah uqedemot umefa'at

Jahaz, Kedemoth, Mephaath,

veqiryatayim vesivmah vetseret hashakhar behar ha'emeq

Kiriathaim, Sibmah, and Zereth-shahar in the hill of the valley,

uvet pe'or ve'ashdot happisgah uvet hayeshimot

Beth-peor, the slopes of Pisgah, and Beth-jeshimoth—

vekhol are hammishor vekhol-mamlekhut sikhon melekh ha'emori asher malakh bekheshbon asher hikkah mosheh oto ve'et-nesi'e midyan et-evi ve'et-reqem ve'et-tsur ve'et-khur ve'et-reva nesikhe sikhon yosheve ha'arets

all the towns of the Tableland and the entire kingdom of Sihon, the king of the Amorites, who had reigned in Heshbon. (For Moses defeated him and the Midianite chiefs Evi, Rekem, Zur, Hur, and Reba, who had dwelt in the land as princes of Sihon.

ve'et-bilam ben-be'or haqqosem haregu vene-yisra'el bakherev el-khallehem

Together with the others that they slew, the Israelites put Balaam son of Beor, the augur, to the sword.)

vayehi gevul bene re'uven hayyarden ugevul zot nakhalat bene-re'uven lemishpekhotam he'arim vekhatsrehen

The boundary of the Reubenites was the edge of the Jordan. That was the portion of the Reubenites for their various clans—those towns with their villages.

vayyitten mosheh lematteh-gad livne-gad lemishpekhotam

To the tribe of Gad, for the various Gadite clans, Moses assigned [the following],

vayehi lahem haggevul yazer vekhol-are haggilad vakhatsi erets bene ammon ad-aro'er asher al-pene rabbah

and it became their territory: Jazer, all the towns of Gilead, part of the country of the Ammonites up to Aroer, which is close to Rabbah,

umekheshbon ad-ramat hammitspeh uvetonim umimmakhanayim ad-gevul lidvir

and from Heshbon to Ramath-mizpeh and Betonim, and from Mahanaim to the border of Lidbir;

uva'emeq bet haram uvet nimrah vesukkot vetsafon yeter mamlekhut sikhon melekh kheshbon hayyarden ugevul ad-qetseh yam-kinneret ever hayyarden mizrakhah

and in the Valley, Beth-haram, Beth-nimrah, Succoth, and Zaphon—the rest of the kingdom of Sihon, the king of Heshbon—down to the edge of the Jordan and up to the tip of the Sea of Chinnereth on the east side of the Jordan.

zot nakhalat bene-gad lemishpekhotam he'arim vekhatsrehem

That was the portion of the Gadites, for their various clans—those towns with their villages.

vayyitten mosheh lakhatsi shevet menasheh vayehi lakhatsi matteh vene-menasheh lemishpekhotam

And to the half-tribe of Manasseh Moses assigned [the following], so that it went to the half-tribe of Manasseh, for its various clans,

vayehi gevulam mimmakhanayim kol-habbashan kol-mamlekhut og melekh-habbashan vekhol-khavvot ya'ir asher babbashan shishim ir

and became their territory: Mahanaim, all of Bashan, the entire kingdom of Og, king of Bashan, and all of Havvoth-jair in Bashan, sixty towns;

vakhatsi haggilad ve'ashtarot ve'edre'i are mamlekhut og babbashan livne makhir ben-menasheh lakhatsi vene-makhir lemishpekhotam

and part of Gilead, and Ashtaroth and Edrei, the royal cities of Og in Bashan, were assigned to the descendants of Machir son of Manasseh—to a part of the descendants of Machir—for their various clans.

elleh asher-nikhal mosheh be'arvot mo'av me'ever leyarden yerikho mizrakhah

Those, then, were the portions that Moses assigned in the steppes of Moab, on the east side of the Jordan.

uleshevet hallevi lo-natan mosheh nakhalah Adonai elohe yisra'el hu nakhalatam ka'asher dibber lahem

But no portion was assigned by Moses to the tribe of Levi; the ETERNAL, the God of Israel, is their portion—as [God] spoke concerning them.
