1 Now I AM is Salvation (Joshua) was old
and stricken in years; and I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) said to him: You are old
and stricken in years, and there remains yet very much land to be possessed.
2 This is the land that yet remains: all
the territory of the Immigrants (Philistines) and all From the Bridge (Geshuri),
3 From the river Dark (Sihor), which borders
Double Straights (Egypt), to the borders of Torn Up by the Roots (Ekron) northward,
which is counted to the Humbled Ones (Canaanite): five lords of the Immigrants
(Philistines); The Strong Ones (Gazathites), The Powerful Ones (Ashdothites), Those
of the Cluster (Eshkalonites), Those Belonging to Winepress (Gath - Gittites),
those Torn Up by the Roots (Ekronites); and also the Perverters (Avites):
4 From the south, all the land of the Humbled
Ones (Canaanites), and Cave (Mearah) that is beside the Hunter/Fishers
(Sidonians) to Enclosure (Aphek), to the borders of The Talkers, Sayers
(Amorite):
5 The land of the Stone-Squarers
(Giblites), and all of Whiteness (Lebanon), toward the sunrise, from Lord of
Fortune (Baalgad) under Mount Sanctuary (Hermon) to the entering into Fortress
(Hamath).
6 All the inhabitants of the hill country
from Whiteness (Lebanon) to Burnings of Water (Misrephothmaim), and all the Hunter/Fishers
(Sidonians), those I will drive out from before the children of God Prevails
(Israel): divide it by lot to the children of God Prevails (Israelites) for an
inheritance, as I have commanded you.
7 Now, therefore, divide this land for an
inheritance to the nine tribes, and the half tribe of Causing to Forget
(Manasseh),
8 With whom the Tribe of Behold a Son (Reuben)
and the Tribe of Troop (Gadites) have received their inheritance, which the Tribe
of Troop (Gadites) gave them, beyond The Descender (Jordan) eastward, as Tribe
of Troop (Gadites) the servants of I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) gave to them;
9 From Ruins (Aroer), that is on the bank
of the river Rushing Stream (Arnon), the city that is in the midst of the
river, and all the plain of Water of Rest (Medeba) to Wasting (Dibon);
10 All the cities of Warrior (Sihon) king
of The Talkers, Sayers (Amorite), which reigned in Stronghold (Heshbon), to the
border of the children of Tribal (Ammon);
11 And Rocky Region (Gilead), and the territory
of the tribe of From the Bridge (Geshurites) and Oppression (Maachathites), and
all Mount Sanctuary (Hermon), and all Fruitful (Bashan) to Migration (Salchah);
12 All the kingdom of Long-Necked (Og) in
Fruitful (Bashan), which reigned in Queen of Heaven (Ashteroth) and in Goodly
Pasture (Edrei), who remained of the remnant of the giants: these the Tribe of
Troop (Gadites) smote, and cast them out.
13 Nevertheless the children of God
Prevails (Israel) expelled not the tribe of From the Bridge (Geshurites), nor
the tribe of Oppression (Maachathites): but the children of From the Bridge
(Geshurites) and those of Oppression (Maachathites) dwell among the God
Prevails (Israelites) until this day.
14 Only to the tribes of Joined To (Levi)
he gave no inheritance; the sacrifices of I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) God of God
Prevails (Israel) made by fire are their inheritance, as He said to them.
15 And the Tribe of Troop (Gadites) gave to
the tribe of the children of Behold a Son (Behold a Son (Reuben)) inheritance
according to their families.
16 Their border was from Ruins (Aroer), which
is on the bank of the river Rushing Stream (Arnon), and the city that is in the
midst of the river, and all the plain by Water of Rest (Medeba);
17 Stronghold (Heshbon), and all her
cities that are in the plain; Wasting (Dibon), and High Place of the Great High
Place (Bamothbaal), and Hide Out of the Great High Place (Bethbaalmeon),
18 Along with Trodden Down (Jahaza), Eastern
(Kedemoth), Splendor Height (Mephaath),
19 Double City (Kirjathaim), Fragrance
(Sibmah), Splendor of the Dawn (Zarethshahar) in the mount of the valley,
20 House of Cleft (Bethpeor), Springs
Pouring Out of the Mountain (Ashdothpisgah), and House of the Desolation
(Bethjeshimoth),
21 And all the cities of the plain, and
all the kingdom of Warrior (Sihon) king of The Talkers, Sayers (Amorite), which
reigned in Stronghold (Heshbon), whom Tribe of Troop (Gadites) smote with the
princes of Strife (Midian), My Desire (Evi), and Variegation (Rekem), and Rock
(Zur), and Cavern (Hur), and Four (Reba), which were dukes of Warrior (Sihon),
dwelling in the country.
22 The children of God Prevails (Israel)
slayed Not of the People (Balaam) the son of Burning (Beor), the soothsayer,
with the sword. He was among them that were slain by them.
23 So the border of the children of Behold
a Son (Reuben) was The Descender (Jordan), and the border thereof. This was the
inheritance of the children of Behold a Son (Reuben) after their families, the
cities, and the villages thereof.
24 The Tribe of Troop (Gadites) gave an inheritance
to the tribe of Troop (Gad), even to the children of Troop (Gad) according to
their families.
25 Their territory was Helped (Jazer),
and all the cities of Rocky Region (Gilead), and half the land of the children
of Tribal (Ammon), to Ruins (Aroer) that is before Great (Rabbah);
26 And from Stronghold (Heshbon) to High
Place of the Watch Tower (Ramathmizpeh), Pistachio Nuts (Betonim); and from Two
Camps (Mahanaim) to the border of Sanctuary (Debir);
27 In the valley, Place of the Height
(Betharam), and House of the Leopard (Bethnimrah), and House of the Leopard
(Bethnimrah), and North (Zaphon), the rest of the kingdom of Warrior (Sihon)
king of Stronghold (Heshbon), The Descender (Jordan) and his border, and to the
edge of the sea of Harps (Chinnereth) on the other side The Descender (Jordan)
eastward.
28 This is the inheritance of the children
of Troop (Gad) after their families, the cities, and their villages.
29 And the Tribe of Troop (Gadites) gave an
inheritance to the half-tribe of Causing to Forget (Manasseh): and this was the
possession of the half-tribe of the children of Causing to Forget (Manasseh) by
their families.
30 Their territory was from Two Camps
(Mahanaim), all Fruitful (Bashan), all the kingdom of Long-Necked (Og) king of Fruitful
(Bashan), and all the towns of He Enlightens (Jair), which are in Fruitful (Bashan),
sixty cities:
31 A half of Rocky Region (Gilead), Queen
of Heaven (Ashteroth), and Goodly Pasture (Edrei). These cities of the kingdom
of Og in Fruitful (Bashan), were pertaining to the children of Sold (Machir)
the son of Causing to Forget (Manasseh), to one-half of the children of Sold
(Machir) by their families.
32 These are the countries which the Tribe
of Troop (Gadites) distributed for inheritance in the plains of Of His Father
(Moab), on the other side The Descender (Jordan), by Its Moon (Jericho),
eastward.
33 But to the tribe of Joined To (Levi) Tribe
of Troop (Gadites) gave not any inheritance: I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) God of God
Prevails (Israel) was their inheritance, as He said to them.
