Joshua 14:11 – 15:11

14:11 Today I am still as strong as I was on the day Moses sent me out; as my strength was then, so my strength is now, for battle and for going out and coming in.
14:12 Now therefore give me this hill country, of which Jehovah spoke on that day, for you heard on that day that the Anakim were there with great fortified cities. It may be that Jehovah will be with me, and I will dispossess them, as Jehovah said.
14:13 So Joshua blessed him; and he gave Hebron to Caleb the son of Jephunneh as an inheritance.
14:14 Therefore Hebron has become the inheritance of Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite to this day because he fully followed Jehovah the God of Israel.
14:15 And the name of Hebron was formerly Kiriath-arba. (This Arba was the greatest man among the Anakim.) And the land had rest from war.
15:1 And the lot for the tribe of the children of Judah according to their families was unto the border of Edom, to the wilderness of Zin at the south; this was the southern extreme.
15:2 And their southern border was from the end of the Salt Sea, from the tongue-shaped bay that faces south;
15:3 And it went southward to the ascent of Akrabbim, and passed on to Zin, and went up south of Kadesh-barnea, and passed on to Hezron, and went up to Addar, and went around Karka,
15:4 And passed on to Azmon, and went out to the brook of Egypt; and the end of the border was at the sea. This shall be your southern border.
15:5 And the eastern border was the Salt Sea to the end of the Jordan. And the border on the northern side was from the bay of the sea at the end of the Jordan.
15:6 And the border went up to Beth-hoglah, and passed on to the north of Beth-arabah; and the border went up to the stone of Bohan the son of Reuben;
15:7 And the border went up to Debir from the Valley of Achor, and turned northward toward Gilgal, which is opposite the ascent of Adummim, which is south of the river valley; and the border passed on to the waters of En-shemesh; and its end was at En-rogel;
15:8 Then the border went up by the Valley of Ben-hinnom to the south of the Jebusite slope (this is Jerusalem); and the border went to the top of the mountain that is before the Valley of Hinnom on the west, which is the northern end of the Valley of Rephaim;
15:9 And the border turned from the top of the mountain to the spring of the waters of Nephtoah and went to the cities of Mount Ephron; then the border turned toward Baalah (this is Kiriath-jearim);
15:10 And the border went around west of Baalah to Mount Seir, and passed by the northern slope of Mount Jearim (this is Chesalon), and went down to Beth-shemesh, and passed on to Timnah;
15:11 And the border went to the slope of Ekron northward; and the border turned toward Shikkeron, and passed by Mount Baalah, and went to Jabneel; and the end of the border was at the sea.

Joshua 13:24 – 14:10

13:24 And Moses gave an inheritance to the tribe of Gad, to the children of Gad, according to their families.
13:25 And for them the border was Jazer and all the cities of Gilead, and half the land of the children of Ammon to Aroer, which is before Rabbah;
13:26 And from Heshbon to Ramath-mizpeh and Betonim; and from Mahanaim to the border of Debir;
13:27 And in the valley Beth-haram and Beth-nimrah and Succoth and Zaphon, the rest of the kingdom of Sihon the king of Heshbon; the Jordan and its border to the end of the Sea of Chinnereth, across the Jordan on the east.
13:28 This is the inheritance of the children of Gad according to their families, the cities with their villages.
13:29 And Moses gave an inheritance to the half-tribe of Manasseh; and it was for the half-tribe of the children of Manasseh according to their families.
13:30 And their border was from Mahanaim and all Bashan, all the kingdom of Og the king of Bashan, and all the tent villages of Jair, which are in Bashan, sixty cities;
13:31 And half of Gilead, and Ashtaroth and Edrei, cities of the kingdom of Og in Bashan, were for the children of Machir the son of Manasseh, for half of the children of Machir, according to their families.
13:32 These are what Moses gave as inheritances in the plains of Moab across the Jordan at Jericho to the east.
13:33 But to the tribe of Levi Moses did not give an inheritance; Jehovah the God of Israel is their inheritance, as He had spoken to them.

14:1 And these are what the children of Israel received as inheritances in the land of Canaan, which Eleazar the priest and Joshua the son of Nun and the heads of the fathers’ houses of the tribes of the children of Israel gave to them as inheritances,
14:2 By the lot of their inheritance, as Jehovah commanded through Moses for the nine tribes and the half-tribe.
14:3 For Moses had given the inheritance of the two tribes and the half-tribe across the Jordan;
but to the Levites he did not give an inheritance among them.
14:4 For the children of Joseph were two tribes, Manasseh and Ephraim; and they gave no portion to the Levites in the land, but only cities to dwell in with their pasture lands for their cattle and their substance.
14:5 As Jehovah had commanded Moses, so the children of Israel did; thus they divided the land.
14:6 Then the children of Judah approached Joshua in Gilgal; and Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite said to him, You know the word that Jehovah spoke to Moses the man of God concerning me and concerning you in Kadesh-barnea.
14:7 I was forty years old when Moses the servant of Jehovah sent me out from Kadesh-barnea to spy out the land; and I returned such a word to him as was genuinely upon my heart.
14:8 However my brothers who went up with me made the people’s heart melt, but I fully followed Jehovah my God.
14:9 And Moses swore on that day, saying, Surely the land on which your foot has trodden will be an inheritance to you and to your children forever, for you have fully followed Jehovah my God.
14:10 And now, look, Jehovah has kept me alive, as He said, for these forty-five years, since the time Jehovah spoke this word to Moses while Israel walked through the wilderness. And now, look, today I am eighty-five years old.

JOSHUA 13:1-23

13:1 Now Joshua was old and advanced in age; and Jehovah said to him, You are old and advanced in age, and very much of the land remains to be possessed.
13:2 This is the land that remains: all the regions of the Philistines and all that of the Geshurites,
13:3 From the Shihor, which is before Egypt, unto the border of Ekron on the north (this is considered to be Canaanite), with five lords of the Philistines: the Gazite and the Ashdodite, the Ashkelonite, the Gittite, and the Ekronite; and that of the Avvim
13:4 In the south; all the land of the Canaanites, and Mearah, which belongs to the Sidonians, unto Aphek at the border of the Amorites;
13:5 And the land of the Gebalites and all Lebanon toward the rising of the sun, from Baal-gad under Mount Hermon to the entrance of Hamath;
13:6 All the inhabitants of the hill country from Lebanon to Misrephoth-maim, all the Sidonians. I Myself will drive them out before the children of Israel; nevertheless allot it to Israel as an inheritance as I have commanded you.
13:7 And now divide this land as an inheritance to the nine tribes and the half-tribe of Manasseh.
13:8 With the other half-tribe of Manasseh the Reubenites and the Gadites received their inheritance, which Moses gave to them across the Jordan on the east, as Moses the servant of Jehovah gave to them:
13:9 From Aroer, which is on the edge of the river Arnon, and from the city, which is in the middle of the river valley, and all the tableland from Medeba to Dibon;
13:10 And all the cities of Sihon the king of the Amorites, who reigned in Heshbon, unto the border of the children of Ammon;
13:11 And Gilead with the territory of the Geshurites and the Maacathites, and all Mount Hermon and all Bashan unto Salecah;
13:12 All the kingdom of Og in Bashan, who reigned in Ashtaroth and in Edrei (he was left of the remnant of the Rephaim); and Moses struck them and dispossessed them.
13:13 Yet the children of Israel did not dispossess the Geshurites and the Maacathites, but Geshur and Maacath dwell in the midst of Israel to this day.
13:14 However to the tribe of Levi he did not give an inheritance; the offerings of Jehovah the God of Israel by fire are their inheritance, as He had spoken to him.
13:15 And Moses gave an inheritance to the tribe of the children of Reuben according to their families.
13:16 And for them the border was from Aroer, which is on the edge of the river Arnon, and from the city, which is in the middle of the river valley, and all the tableland by Medeba;
13:17 Heshbon and all its cities which are in the tableland: Dibon and Bamoth-baal and Beth-baal-meon
13:18 And Jahaz and Kedemoth and Mephaath
13:19 And Kiriathaim and Sibmah and Zereth-shahar on the mountain of the valley
13:20 And Beth-peor and the slopes of Pisgah and Beth-jeshimoth;
13:21 That is, all the cities of the tableland and all the kingdom of Sihon the king of the Amorites, who reigned in Heshbon and whom Moses struck with the leaders of Midian: Evi and Rekem and Zur and Hur and Reba, the princes of Sihon who inhabited the land.
13:22 And Balaam the son of Beor, who practiced divination, the children of Israel slew with the sword with those of them who were already slain.
13:23 And the border of the children of Reuben was the Jordan and its border. This is the inheritance of the children of Reuben according to their families, the cities with their villages.

JOSHUA 12:1-24

12:1 Now these are the kings of the land whom the children of Israel struck and whose land they possessed across the Jordan toward the rising of the sun from the river Arnon to Mount Hermon and all the eastern Arabah:
12:2 Sihon the king of the Amorites, who dwelt in Heshbon and ruled from Aroer, which is on the edge of the river Arnon, and from the city in the middle of the river valley, that is, half of Gilead even unto the river Jabbok, the border of the children of Ammon;
12:3 And the eastern Arabah unto the Sea of Chinneroth, even unto the eastern side of the sea of the Arabah, the Salt Sea, toward Beth-jeshimoth, that is, southward to the foot of the slopes of Pisgah;
12:4 And the territory of Og the king of Bashan, one of the remnant of the Rephaim, who dwelt in Ashtaroth and Edrei,
12:5 And ruled over Mount Hermon and Salecah and all Bashan to the border of the Geshurites and the Maacathites, that is, half of Gilead, to the border of Sihon the king of Heshbon.
12:6 Moses the servant of Jehovah and the children of Israel struck them. And Moses the servant of Jehovah gave this land as a possession to the Reubenites and the Gadites and the half-tribe of Manasseh.
12:7 And these are the kings of the land whom Joshua and the children of Israel struck across the Jordan on the west, from Baal-gad in the valley of Lebanon unto Mount Halak, which goes up to Seir; and Joshua gave this land to the tribes of Israel as a possession according to their divisions,
12:8 The land that is in the hill country and in the lowland and in the Arabah and on the slopes and in the wilderness and in the Negev — the Hittites, the Amorites, and the Canaanites; the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites.
12:9 The king of Jericho, one; / The king of Ai, which is by Bethel, one;
12:10 The king of Jerusalem, one; / The king of Hebron, one;
12:11 The king of Jarmuth, one; / The king of Lachish, one;
12:12 The king of Eglon, one; / The king of Gezer, one;
12:13 The king of Debir, one; / The king of Geder, one;
12:14 The king of Hormah, one; / The king of Arad, one;
12:15 The king of Libnah, one; / The king of Adullam, one;
12:16 The king of Makkedah, one; / The king of Bethel, one;
12:17 The king of Tappuah, one; / The king of Hepher, one;
12:18 The king of Aphek, one; / The king of Lasharon, one;
12:19 The king of Madon, one; / The king of Hazor, one;
12:20 The king of Shimron-meron, one; / The king of Achshaph, one;
12:21 The king of Taanach, one; / The king of Megiddo, one;
12:22 The king of Kedesh, one; / The king of Jokneam in Carmel, one;
12:23 The king of Dor in the highland of Dor, one; / The king of Goiim of Gilgal, one;
12:24 The king of Tirzah, one. / Thirty-one kings in all.

JOSHUA 11:1-23

11:1 And when Jabin the king of Hazor heard of this, he sent word to Jobab the king of Madon and to the king of Shimron and to the king of Achshaph
11:2 And to the kings who were on the north in the hill country and in the Arabah south of Chinneroth and in the lowland and in the highland of Dor on the west;
11:3 To the Canaanites on the east and on the west; and the Amorites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, and the Jebusites in the hill country; and the Hivites under Hermon in the land of Mizpah.
11:4 And they went out, they and all their camps with them, a people as great as the sand on the seashore in number, and very many horses and chariots.
11:5 And all these kings met together, and they came and camped together at the waters of Merom to fight with Israel.
11:6 Then Jehovah said to Joshua, Do not be afraid because of them, for tomorrow at this time I will deliver all of them up slain before Israel. You shall hamstring their horses and burn their chariots with fire.
11:7 So Joshua and all the people of war with him went against them at the waters of Merom suddenly, and they fell on them.
11:8 And Jehovah delivered them into the hand of Israel, and they struck them and pursued them to Great Sidon and to Misrephoth-maim and to the valley of Mizpeh eastward. And they struck them until no survivor was left to them.
11:9 So Joshua did to them according to what Jehovah had spoken to him; he hamstrung their horses and burned their chariots with fire.
11:10 Then Joshua returned at that time and took Hazor, and he struck its king with the sword; for Hazor had formerly been the head of all these kingdoms.
11:11 And they struck every soul that was in it with the edge of the sword, utterly destroying it; nothing that breathed was left. And he burned Hazor with fire.
11:12 And all the cities of these kings with all their kings, Joshua took; and he struck them with the edge of the sword and utterly destroyed them, as Moses the servant of Jehovah had commanded.
11:13 However as for all the cities that stood on their mounds, Israel burned none of them except Hazor alone; Joshua burned it.
11:14 And all the spoil of these cities and the cattle, the children of Israel took as their plunder; but they struck every man with the edge of the sword until they had destroyed them; they left nothing that breathed.
11:15 As Jehovah had commanded Moses His servant, so Moses commanded Joshua, and so Joshua did; he left nothing undone of all that Jehovah had commanded Moses.
11:16 So Joshua took all that land, the hill country and all the Negev and all the land of Goshen and the lowland and the Arabah and the hill country of Israel and its lowland;
11:17 From Mount Halak, which goes up to Seir, unto Baal-gad in the valley of Lebanon under Mount Hermon. And he took all their kings and struck them and put them to death.
11:18 Joshua made war with all these kings a long time.
11:19 There was not a city that made peace with the children of Israel except the Hivites, the inhabitants of Gibeon; they took all in battle.
11:20 For it was of Jehovah to harden their heart to meet Israel in battle so that He might utterly destroy them and that they might not receive mercy but be destroyed as Jehovah commanded Moses.
11:21 And Joshua went at that time and cut off the Anakim from the hill country, from Hebron, from Debir, from Anab, and from all the hill country of Judah and all the hill country of Israel; Joshua utterly destroyed them with their cities.
11:22 None of the Anakim were left in the land of the children of Israel; only in Gaza, Gath, and Ashdod did some remain.
11:23 So Joshua took the whole land according to all that Jehovah had spoken to Moses; and Joshua gave it as an inheritance to Israel according to their divisions by their tribes. And the land had rest from war.
