Joshua 13:2 - Forerunner Commentary

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.”

The Land Divided East of the Jordan

American Standard Version
This is the land that yet remaineth: all the regions of the Philistines, and all the Geshurites;

Amplified® Bible
This is the land that remains: all the regions of the Philistines and all those of the Geshurites:

Contemporary English Version
First, there is the Canaanite territory that starts at the Shihor River just east of Egypt and goes north to Ekron. The southern part of this region belongs to the Avvites and the Geshurites, and the land around Gaza, Ashdod, Ashkelon, Gath, and Ekron belongs to the five Philistine rulers. The other Canaanite territory is in the north. Its northern border starts at the town of Arah, which belongs to the Sidonians. From there, it goes to Aphek, then along the Amorite border to Hamath Pass. The eastern border starts at Hamath Pass and goes south to Baal-Gad at the foot of Mount Hermon, and its southern boundary runs west from there to Misrephoth-Maim. This northern region includes the Lebanon Mountains and the land that belongs to the Gebalites and the Sidonians who live in the hill country from the Lebanon Mountains to Misrephoth-Maim. With my help, Israel will capture these Canaanite territories and force out the people who live there. But you must divide up the land from the Jordan River to the Mediterranean Sea among the nine tribes and the half of Manasseh that don't have any land yet. Then each tribe will have its own land.
