Joshua 13:2

Remaining Land to Be Conquered

1 Now Joshua ^awas old, advanced in years. And the Lord said to him: “You are old, advanced in years, and there remains very much land yet to be possessed.

2 ^aThis is the land that yet remains: ^ball the territory of the Philistines and all ^cthat of the Geshurites,

3 ^afrom Sihor, which is east of Egypt, as far as the border of Ekron northward (which is counted as Canaanite); the ^bfive lords of the Philistines—the Gazites, the Ashdodites, the Ashkelonites, the Gittites, and the Ekronites; also ^cthe Avites;

4 from the south, all the land of the Canaanites, and Mearah that belongs to the Sidonians ^aas far as Aphek, to the border of ^bthe Amorites;

5 the land of ^athe Gebalites, and all Lebanon, toward the sunrise, ^bfrom Baal Gad below Mount Hermon as far as the entrance to Hamath;

6 all the inhabitants of the mountains from Lebanon as far as ^athe Brook Misrephoth, and all the Sidonians—them ^bI will drive out from before the children of Israel; only ^cdivide it by lot to Israel as an inheritance, as I have commanded you.

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