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.
