Allotments East of the Jordan

Joshua 13:8-33

13
Chapter 13
8 With him the Reubenites and the Gadites took their inheritance, which Moses had given them beyond the Jordan to the east, just as Moses the servant of the LORD had given them. 9 from Maharayim that is on the edge of the Wadi Arnon, and the city that is in the middle of the wadi, and all the plain from Dibon as far as Dibon. 10 and all the cities of Sihon king of the Amorites, who reigned in Heshbon, as far as the border of the Ammonites. 11 and Gilead and the border of the Geshurites and the Maacathites and all Mount Hermon and all Bashan as far as Salchah. 12 all the kingdoms of Og in Bashan, who reigned in Ashtaroth and in Edrei—he was of the remnant of the Rephaim—and Moses struck them and possessed it. 13 The sons of Israel did not dispossess the Geshurite and the Maacathite, and Geshur and Maacath dwelt in the midst of Israel until this day. 14 He did not give an inheritance to the tribe of Levi only; the fire of the LORD God of Israel is its inheritance, just as he spoke to them. 15 Moses gave to the tribe of the sons of Reuben according to their clans. 16 Their border was from Aroer, which is on the edge of the Arnon Valley, and the city that is in the middle of the valley, and all the plain by Medeba. 17 Heshbon and all its cities that are in the plain: Dibon, Bamoth-baal, and Beth-baal-meon. 18 and Jahzah and Kedemoth and Mephaath 19 and Kiriathaim and Sibmah and Zereth Shahar in the hill country of the valley 20 and Beth-peor and the slopes of Pisgah and Beth the Desolations 21 and all the cities of the tableland and all the kingdoms of Sihon king of the Amorites who reigned in Heshbon, whom Moses struck, and the princes of Midian, Evi and Rekem and Zur and Hur and Reba, the chieftains of Sihon, the ones dwelling in the land. 22 The Israelites killed Balaam son of Beor the diviner with the sword among those they slew. 23 The boundary of the sons of Reuben was the Jordan. This boundary was the inheritance of the sons of Reuben according to their clans—the cities and their courtyards. 24 Moses gave to the tribe of Gad, to the sons of Gad, according to their clans. 25 And it was to them the boundary Jaazer and all the cities of Gilead and half the land of the sons of Ammon as far as Aroer, which is upon the face of Rabbah. 26 and Mahanaim until Ramath Hammitzpeh and Betonim and from Mahanaim until the boundary of Lo Debar. 27 and in the valley, Beth Haram and Beth Nimrah and Succoth and Zaphon, the remainder of the kingdoms of Sihon king of Heshbon, the Jordan and its border to the edge of the Sea of Chinnereth across the Jordan eastward. 28 This is the inheritance of the sons of Gad according to their families: the cities and their villages. 29 And Moses gave to half the tribe of Manasseh, and it was to half the tribe of the sons of Manasseh according to their clans. 30 And their border was from the camps, all of Bashan, all the kingdoms of Og king of Bashan, and all the villages of Jair which were in Bashan, sixty cities. 31 and half of Gilead and Ashtaroth and Edrei, cities of the kingdoms of Og in Bashan, to the sons of Machir son of Manasseh, to half of the sons of Machir according to their families. 32 These are those which Moses inherited in the Plains of Moab across the Jordan from Jericho eastward. 33 Moses gave no inheritance to the tribe of Levi; the LORD God of Israel is their inheritance, just as he said to them.
