Joshua 13:9 - Forerunner Commentary

Joshua 13:9

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.
