13  A ka koroheketia a Hohua, kua maha ona ra; na ka mea a Ihowa ki a ia, Kua koroheketia koe, kua maha ou ra, a he nui atu te whenua e toe ana, kahore ano i tangohia.

Ko te whenua tenei e toe ana: ko nga wahi o nga Pirihitini, ko nga Kehuri katoa;

O Hihoro mai ano, i te ritenga atu o Ihipa a tae noa ki nga rohe o Ekerona whaka te raki, e kiia nei no nga Kanaani; e rima nga wahi ariki o nga Pirihitini; ko nga Kahati, ko nga Aharori, ko nga Ahakeroni, ko nga Kiti, ko nga Ekeroni; me nga Awim i,

Ki te tonga; ko te whenua katoa o nga Kanaani, me Meara i te taha o nga Hironi tae noa ki Apeke, ki nga rohe o nga Amori:

Me te whenua o nga Kipiri, me Repanona katoa whaka te rawhiti atu o Paarakara i raro iho o Maunga Heremona tae noa ki te haerenga atu ki Hamata:

Ko nga tangata katoa o te whenua pukepuke, o Repanona tae noa ki Mihirepoto Maimi, me nga Hironi katoa; ka peia ratou e ahau i te aroaro o nga tama a Iharaira: mau ia e wehe a reira hei kainga tupu mo Iharaira, me pera me taku i whakahau ai ki a koe.

Na reira wehewehea tenei whenua hei kainga tupu mo nga iwi e iwa, ratou ko tetahi taanga o te iwi o Manahi.

I whiwhi tahi ratou ko nga Reupeni, ko nga Kari ki to ratou wahi, i hoatu ra ki a ratou e Mohi ki tawahi o Horano whaka te rawhiti, ara ko ta Mohi, ko ta te pononga a Ihowa i hoatu ai ki a ratou;

O Aroere atu i te taha o te awaawa o Aranona, me te pa i waenganui o te awaawa, me te mania katoa o Merepa tae noa ki Ripono;

10 Me nga pa katoa o Hihona kingi o nga Amori, i kingi ra ki Hehepona, tae noa ki te rohe ki nga tama a Amona;

11 Me Kireara, me te rohe ki nga Kehuri, ki nga Maakati, me Maunga Heremona katoa, me Pahana katoa, tae noa ki Hareka;

12 Te kingitanga katoa o Oka i Pahana; i kingi hoki ia ki Ahataroto, ki Eterei, he toenga ia no nga oranga o nga Repaima; i patua hoki enei e Mohi, a peia atu ana.

13 Ko nga Kehuri ia me nga Maakati kihai i peia e nga tama a Iharaira: engari i noho nga Kehuri ratou ko nga Maakati i waenganui o Iharaira a taea noatia tenei ra.

14 Ko te iwi anake o Riwai, kihai i hoatu e ia he kainga tupu; ko nga whakahere ahi a Ihowa, a te Atua o Iharaira, te wahi tupu mo ratou, ko tana hoki i korero ai ki a ia.

15 A rite tonu ki o ratou hapu ta Mohi i hoatu ai ki te iwi o nga tama a Reupena.

16 A ko te rohe ki a ratou kei Aroere, kei te taha o te awaawa o Aranona, kei te pa hoki i waenganui o te awaawa me te mania katoa i Merepa;

17 Ko Hehepona me o reira pa katoa i te mania; ko Ripono, me Pamotopaara, me Petepaara Meono,

18 Ko Iahata hoki, me Keremoto, me Mepaata,

19 Me Kiriataima, me Hipima, me Terete Hahara i te maunga o taua raorao,

20 Me Petepeoro, me Aharoto Pihika, me Peteiehimoto,

21 Me nga pa katoa o te mania, me te kingitanga katoa o Hihona, o te kingi o nga Amori, i kingi nei ki Hehepona, i patua ngatahitia nei e Mohi me nga ariki o Miriana, me Ewi, ratou ko Rekeme, ko Turu, ko Huru, ko Repa; na Hihona ena ariki, a i noho ki taua whenua.

22 I patua ano hoki e nga tama a Iharaira ki te hoari a Paraama tama a Peoro, te tohunga maori, i roto i era atu o to ratou parekura.

23 A ko te rohe ki nga tama a Reupena ko Horano, me tona rohe ano. Ko te wahi tuturu tenei i nga tama a Reupena, i o ratou hapu, nga pa me nga kainga o aua pa.

24 A i hoatu ano e Mohi he wahi ki te iwi o Kara, ki nga tama a Kara, he mea whakarite ki o ratou hapu.

25 A ko te rohe ki a ratou ko Iatere, me nga pa katoa o Kireara, me te hawhe o te whenua o nga tama a Amona, a tae noa ki Aroere ki te ritenga atu o Rapa:

26 I Hehepona hoki a tae noa ki Ramata Mihipe, ki Petonimi; i Mahanaima a tae noa ki te rohe o Repiri:

27 A i te raorao, ko Petearama, ko Petenimira, ko Hukota, ko Tawhono, a ko te toenga atu o te kingitanga o Hihona, o te kingi o Hehepona, ko Horano me tona rohe tae noa ki te pito o te moana o Kinereta, i tawahi o Horano, whaka te rawhiti.

28 Ko te wahi tupu tenei i nga tama a Kara, i o ratou hapu, ko nga pa me nga kainga o aua pa.

29 A i hoatu e Mohi he wahi tuturu ki tetahi taanga o te iwi o Manahi: a ka riro i tetahi taanga o te iwi o nga tama a Manahi, he mea whakarite ki o ratou hapu.

30 A no Mahanaima atu te rohe ki a ratou, ko Pahana katoa, me te kingitanga katoa o Oka, o te kingi o Pahana, me nga pa katoa o Haira, era i Pahana ra, e ono tekau nga pa:

31 Ko tetahi hawhe o Kireara, me Ahataroto, me Eterei, ko nga pa o te kingitanga o Oka i Pahana, i riro era i nga tama a Makiri, a te tama a Manahi, ara i tetahi taanga o nga tama a Makiri, he mea whakarite ki o ratou hapu.

32 Ko enei nga wahi i hoatu ai e Mohi hei kainga tupu i nga mania o Moapa i tawahi o Horano whaka te rawhiti, i te wahi e anga ana ki Heriko.

33 Otiia kihai i hoatu e Mohi he wahi tupu ki te iwi o Riwai: ko Ihowa, ko te Atua o Iharaira, ko ia hei wahi tupu mo ratou; ko tana hoki tena i korero ai.

Land Still to Be Taken

13 When Joshua had grown old,(A) the Lord said to him, “You are now very old, and there are still very large areas of land to be taken over.

“This is the land that remains: all the regions of the Philistines(B) and Geshurites,(C) from the Shihor River(D) on the east of Egypt to the territory of Ekron(E) on the north, all of it counted as Canaanite though held by the five Philistine rulers(F) in Gaza, Ashdod,(G) Ashkelon,(H) Gath and Ekron; the territory of the Avvites(I) on the south; all the land of the Canaanites, from Arah of the Sidonians as far as Aphek(J) and the border of the Amorites;(K) the area of Byblos;(L) and all Lebanon(M) to the east, from Baal Gad below Mount Hermon(N) to Lebo Hamath.(O)

“As for all the inhabitants of the mountain regions from Lebanon to Misrephoth Maim,(P) that is, all the Sidonians, I myself will drive them out(Q) before the Israelites. Be sure to allocate this land to Israel for an inheritance, as I have instructed you,(R) and divide it as an inheritance(S) among the nine tribes and half of the tribe of Manasseh.”

Division of the Land East of the Jordan

The other half of Manasseh,[a] the Reubenites and the Gadites had received the inheritance that Moses had given them east of the Jordan, as he, the servant of the Lord, had assigned(T) it to them.(U)

It extended from Aroer(V) on the rim of the Arnon Gorge, and from the town in the middle of the gorge, and included the whole plateau(W) of Medeba as far as Dibon,(X) 10 and all the towns of Sihon king of the Amorites, who ruled in Heshbon,(Y) out to the border of the Ammonites.(Z) 11 It also included Gilead,(AA) the territory of the people of Geshur and Maakah, all of Mount Hermon and all Bashan as far as Salekah(AB) 12 that is, the whole kingdom of Og in Bashan,(AC) who had reigned in Ashtaroth(AD) and Edrei.(AE) (He was the last of the Rephaites.(AF)) Moses had defeated them and taken over their land.(AG) 13 But the Israelites did not drive out the people of Geshur(AH) and Maakah,(AI) so they continue to live among the Israelites to this day.(AJ)

14 But to the tribe of Levi he gave no inheritance, since the food offerings presented to the Lord, the God of Israel, are their inheritance, as he promised them.(AK)

15 This is what Moses had given to the tribe of Reuben, according to its clans:

16 The territory from Aroer(AL) on the rim of the Arnon Gorge, and from the town in the middle of the gorge, and the whole plateau past Medeba(AM) 17 to Heshbon and all its towns on the plateau,(AN) including Dibon,(AO) Bamoth Baal,(AP) Beth Baal Meon,(AQ) 18 Jahaz,(AR) Kedemoth,(AS) Mephaath,(AT) 19 Kiriathaim,(AU) Sibmah,(AV) Zereth Shahar on the hill in the valley, 20 Beth Peor,(AW) the slopes of Pisgah, and Beth Jeshimoth— 21 all the towns on the plateau(AX) and the entire realm of Sihon king of the Amorites, who ruled at Heshbon. Moses had defeated him and the Midianite chiefs,(AY) Evi, Rekem, Zur, Hur and Reba(AZ)—princes allied with Sihon—who lived in that country. 22 In addition to those slain in battle, the Israelites had put to the sword Balaam son of Beor,(BA) who practiced divination.(BB) 23 The boundary of the Reubenites was the bank of the Jordan. These towns and their villages were the inheritance of the Reubenites, according to their clans.(BC)

24 This is what Moses had given to the tribe of Gad, according to its clans:

25 The territory of Jazer,(BD) all the towns of Gilead(BE) and half the Ammonite country as far as Aroer, near Rabbah;(BF) 26 and from Heshbon(BG) to Ramath Mizpah and Betonim, and from Mahanaim(BH) to the territory of Debir;(BI) 27 and in the valley, Beth Haram, Beth Nimrah,(BJ) Sukkoth(BK) and Zaphon(BL) with the rest of the realm of Sihon king of Heshbon (the east side of the Jordan, the territory up to the end of the Sea of Galilee[b](BM)). 28 These towns and their villages were the inheritance of the Gadites,(BN) according to their clans.

29 This is what Moses had given to the half-tribe of Manasseh, that is, to half the family of the descendants of Manasseh, according to its clans:

30 The territory extending from Mahanaim(BO) and including all of Bashan,(BP) the entire realm of Og king of Bashan(BQ)—all the settlements of Jair(BR) in Bashan, sixty towns, 31 half of Gilead, and Ashtaroth and Edrei (the royal cities of Og in Bashan).(BS) This was for the descendants of Makir(BT) son of Manasseh—for half of the sons of Makir, according to their clans.(BU)

32 This is the inheritance Moses had given when he was in the plains of Moab(BV) across the Jordan east of Jericho.(BW) 33 But to the tribe of Levi, Moses had given no inheritance;(BX) the Lord, the God of Israel, is their inheritance,(BY) as he promised them.(BZ)
