11 And Gilead, and the border of the Geshu

rites and Maachathites, and all mount Hermon,

and all Bashan unto Salcah;

12 All the kingdom of Og in Bashan, which reigned in Ashtaroth and in Edrei, who remained of the remnant of the giants. For these did Moses smite, and cast them out.

13 Nevertheless, the children of Israel expelled not the Geshurites, nor the Maachathites: but the Geshurites and the Maachathites dwell among the Israelites until this day.

14 Only unto the tribe of Levi he gave none inheritance; the sacrifices of the LORD God of Israel made by fire are their inheritance, as he said unto them.

15 T And Moses gave unto the tribe of the children of Reuben inheritance according to their families.

15 And their coast was from Aroer that is on the bank of the river Arnon, and the city that is in the midst of the river, and all the plain by Medeba:

17 Heshbon, and all her cities that are in the plain; Dibon, and Bamoth-baal, and Beth-baalmeon,

18 And Jahaza, and Kedemoth, and Mephaath, 19 And Kirjathaim, and Sibinah, and Zarethshahar in the mount of the valley,

20 And Beth-peor, and Ashdoili-pisgah, and Beth-jeshimoth,

32 These are the countries which Moses did distribute for inheritance in the plains of Moab, on the other side Jordan by Jericho eastward. 33 But unto the tribe of Levi, Moses gave not any inheritance: the LORD God of Israel was their inheritance, as he said unto them. CHAP. XIV.

Nine tribes and a half inherit by lot.

AND these are the countries which the chil

dren of Israel inherited in the land of Ca naan, which Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun, and the heads of the fathers of the tribes of the children of Israel distributed for inheritance to them.

2 By lot was their inheritance, as the LORD com. manded by the hand of Moses, for the nine tribes, and for the half-tribe.

3 For Moses had given the inheritance of two tribes and a half-tribe on the other side Jordan: but unto the Levites he gave none inheritance among them.

4 For the children of Joseph were two tribes, Manasseh and Ephraim: therefore they gave no part unto the Levites in the land, save cities to dwell in, with their suburbs for their cattle, and for their substance.

5 As the LORD commanded Moses, so the chil dren of Israel did, and they divided the land. 61Then the children of Judah came unto Joshua in Gilgal: and Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenezite said unto him, Thou knowest the thing that the LORD said unto Moses tne man of God concerning me and thee in Kadesh-barnea. 7 Forty years old was I when Moses the servant of the LORD sent me from Kadesh-barnea to espy out the land; and I brought him word again as it was in my heart.

13 And Joshua blessed him, and gave unto Caleb the son of Jephunneh, Hebron for an inheritance. 14 Hebron therefore became the inheritance of Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenezite unto this day; because that he wholly followed the LORD God of Israel.

15 And the name of Hebron before was Kirjatharba; which Arba was a great man among the Anakims. And the land had rest from war. CHAP. XV.

Borders of the lot of Judah.

THIS then was the lot of the tribe of the chil-
dren of Judah by their families; even to the
border of Edom, the wilderness of Zin southward
was the uttermost part of the south coast.
2 And their south border was from the shore of
the salt sca, from the bay that looketh southward:
3 And it went out to the south side to Maaleh-
acrabbim, and passed along to Zin, and ascend-
ed up on the south side unto Kadeshi-barnea, and
passed along to Hezron, and went up to Adar,
and fetched a compass to Karkaa.

4 From thence it passed toward Azmon, and
went out unto the river of Egypt; and the goings
out of that coast were at the sea: this shall be
your south coast.

5 And the east border was the salt sea, even unto the end of Jordan: and their border in the north quarter was from the bay of the sea, at the uttermost part of Jordan:

6 And the border went up to Beth-hogla, and passed along by the north of Beth-arabah; and the border went up to the stone of Bohan the son of Reuben:

7 And the border went up toward Debir from the valley of Achor, and so northward looking toward Gilgal, that is before the going up to Adummim, which is on the south side of the river: and the border passed toward the waters of En-shemesh, and the goings out thereof were at En-rogel: 8 And the border went up by the valley of the son of Hinnom, unto the south side of the Jebu site; the same is Jerusalem: and the border went up to the top of the mountain that lieth before the valley of Hinnom westward, which is at the end of the valley of the giants northward:

17 And Othniel the son of Kenaz, the brother of Caleb, took it: and he gave him Achsah his daughter to wife.

18 And it came to pass, as she came unto him, that she moved him to ask of her father a field. And she lighted off her ass; and Caleb said unto her, What wouldest thou?

19 Who answered, Give me a blessing; for thou hast given me a south land, give me also springa of water. And he gave her the upper springs and the nether springs.

20 This is the inheritance of the tribe of the

children of Judah according to their families.
21 And the uttermost cities of the tribe of the
children of Judah toward the coast of Edom
southward were Kabzeel, and Eder, and Jagur,
22 And Kinah, and Dimonah, and Adadah,
23 And Kedesh, and Hazor, and Ithnan,

12 And the west border was to the great sea, and the coast thereof: this is the coast of the children of Judah round about, according to their families. 13 ¶ And unto Caleb the son of Jephunneh he gave a part among the children of Judah, according to the commandment of the LORD to Joshua, even the city of Arba the father of Anak, which city is Hebron.

14 And Caleb drove thence the three sons of Anak, Sheshai, and Ahiman, and Talmai, the children of Anak.

Manasseh also was on the north side of the river,
and the out-goings of it were at the sea:
10 Southward it was Ephraim's, and north-
ward it was Manasseh's, and the sea is his bor-
der; and they met together in Asher on the
north, and in Issachar on the east.

and the inhabitants of Megiddo and her towns,

4 So the children of Joseph, Manasseh and Ephraim, took their inheritance.

5 And the border of the children of Ephraim according to their families was thus: even the border of their inheritance on the east side was Ataroth-adar, unto Beth-horon the upper;

6 And the border went out toward the sea to Michmethah on the north side; and the border went about eastward unto Taanath-shiloh, and passed by it on the east to Janohah;

12 Yet the children of Manasseh could not drive out the inhabitants of those cities; but the Canaanites would dwell in that land.

13 Yet it came to pass, when the children of Is rael were waxen strong, that they put the Canaanites to tribute; but did not utterly drive them out. 14 And the children of Joseph spake unto Joshua, saying, Why hast thou given me but one lot and one portion to inherit, seeing I am a 7 And it went down from Janohah to Ataroth, great people, forasmuch as the LORD hath blessand to Naarath, and came to Jericho, and went ed me hitherto ? out at Jordan.

48 This is the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Dan according to their families, these cities with their villages.
