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.
