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.”
The Land Divided East of the Jordan
8 With the other half-tribe the Reubenites and the Gadites received their inheritance, awhich Moses had given them, bbeyond the Jordan eastward, as Moses the servant of the Lord had given them:
9 from Aroer which is on the bank of the River Arnon, and the town that is in the midst of the ravine, aand all the plain of Medeba as far as Dibon;
10 aall the cities of Sihon king of the Amorites, who reigned in Heshbon, as far as the border of the children of Ammon;
11 aGilead, and the border of the Geshurites and Maachathites, all Mount Hermon, and all Bashan as far as Salcah;
12 all the kingdom of Og in Bashan, who reigned in Ashtaroth and Edrei, who remained of athe remnant of the giants; bfor Moses had defeated and cast out these.
13 Nevertheless the children of Israel adid not drive out the Geshurites or the Maachathites, but the Geshurites and the Maachathites dwell among the Israelites until this day.
14 aOnly to the tribe of Levi he had given1 no inheritance; the sacrifices of the Lord God of Israel made by fire are their inheritance, bas He said to them.
The Land of Reuben
15 aAnd Moses had given to the tribe of the children of Reuben an inheritance according to their families.
