Land Still to Be Conquered

1 Now Joshua was old and advanced in years, and the Lord said to him, “You are old and advanced in years, and there remains yet very much land to possess. (De 31:3; Jos 14:10; Jos 23:1) 2 This is the land that yet remains: all the regions of the Philistines, and all those of the Geshurites (Jud 3:1; Joe 3:4) 3 (from the Shihor, which is east of Egypt, northward to the boundary of Ekron, it is counted as Canaanite; there are five rulers of the Philistines, those of Gaza, Ashdod, Ashkelon, Gath, and Ekron), and those of the Avvim, (De 2:23; Jud 3:3; 1Ch 13:5; Jer 2:18)

De 2:23Jud 3:31Ch 13:5Jer 2:18

4 in the south, all the land of the Canaanites, and Mearah that belongs to the Sidonians, to Aphek, to the boundary of the Amorites, (Jud 1:34) 5 and the land of the Gebalites, and all Lebanon, toward the sunrise, from Baal-gad below Mount Hermon to Lebo-hamath, (Nu 34:8; Jos 11:17; Jos 12:7; 1Ki 5:18; Ps 83:7; Eze 27:9)

Nu 34:8Jos 11:17Jos 12:71Ki 5:18Ps 83:7Eze 27:9

6 all the inhabitants of the hill country from Lebanon to Misrephoth-maim, even all the Sidonians. I myself will drive them out from before the people of Israel. Only allot the land to Israel for an inheritance, as I have commanded you. (Nu 34:2; Jos 11:8; Jos 23:4; Jos 23:13; Jud 2:21)

Nu 34:2Jos 11:8Jos 23:4Jos 23:13Jud 2:21

7 Now therefore divide this land for an inheritance to the nine tribes and half the tribe of Manasseh.” (Jos 14:1)

The Inheritance East of the Jordan

8 With the other half of the tribe of Manasseh^[1] the Reubenites and the Gadites received their inheritance, which Moses gave them, beyond the Jordan eastward, as Moses the servant of the Lord gave them: (Nu 32:33; Jos 12:6) 9 from Aroer, which is on the edge of the Valley of the Arnon, and the city that is in the middle of the valley, and all the tableland of Medeba as far as Dibon; (Nu 21:30; De 2:36; Jos 13:16) 10 and all the cities of Sihon king of the Amorites, who reigned in Heshbon, as far as the boundary of the Ammonites; (Nu 21:24) 11 and Gilead, and the region of the Geshurites and Maacathites, and all Mount Hermon, and all Bashan to Salecah; (De 3:14) 12 all the kingdom of Og in Bashan, who reigned in Ashtaroth and in Edrei (he alone was left of the remnant of the Rephaim); these Moses had struck and driven out. (Nu 21:24; Nu 21:35; Jos 13:11) 13 Yet the people of Israel did not drive out the Geshurites or the Maacathites, but Geshur and Maacath dwell in the midst of Israel to this day. (Jos 13:11) 14 To the tribe of Levi alone Moses gave no inheritance. The offerings by fire to the Lord God of Israel are their inheritance, as he said to him. (Nu 18:20; Jos 14:3) 15 And Moses gave an inheritance to the tribe of the people of Reuben according to their clans. 16 So their territory was from Aroer, which is on the edge of the Valley of the Arnon, and the city that is in the middle of the valley, and all the tableland by Medeba; (Nu 21:30; Jos 13:9) 17 with Heshbon, and all its cities that are in the tableland; Dibon, and Bamoth-baal, and Beth-baal-meon, (Jos 13:16) 18 and Jahaz, and Kedemoth, and Mephaath, (Nu 21:23) 19 and Kiriathaim, and Sibmah, and Zereth-shahar on the hill of the valley, (Nu 32:37) 20 and Beth-peor, and the slopes of Pisgah, and Beth-jeshimoth, (De 4:46; Jos 12:3) 21 that is, all the cities of the tableland, and all the kingdom of Sihon king of the Amorites, who reigned in Heshbon, whom Moses defeated with the leaders of Midian, Evi and Rekem and Zur and Hur and Reba, the princes of Sihon, who lived in the land. (Nu 21:24; Nu 31:8; De 3:10) 22 Balaam also, the son of Beor, the one who practiced divination, was killed with the sword by the people of Israel among the rest of their slain. (Jos 13:21) 23 And the border of the people of Reuben was the Jordan as a boundary. This was the inheritance of the people of Reuben, according to their clans with their cities and villages. 24 Moses gave an inheritance also to the tribe of Gad, to the people of Gad, according to their clans. 25 Their territory was Jazer, and all the cities of Gilead, and half the land of the Ammonites, to Aroer, which is east of Rabbah, (Nu 32:34; De 3:11; 2Sa 11:1; 2Sa 12:26)

Nu 32:34De 3:112Sa 11:12Sa 12:26

26 and from Heshbon to Ramath-mizpeh and Betonim, and from Mahanaim to the territory of Debir,^[2] (Ge 32:2; 2Sa 2:8; 2Sa 2:12; 2Sa 17:24)

Ge 32:22Sa 2:82Sa 2:122Sa 17:24

27 and in the valley Beth-haram, Beth-nimrah, Succoth, and Zaphon, the rest of the kingdom of Sihon king of Heshbon, having the Jordan as a boundary, to the lower end of the Sea of Chinnereth, eastward beyond the Jordan. (Ge 33:17; Jos 11:2) 28 This is the inheritance of the people of Gad according to their clans, with their cities and villages. 29 And Moses gave an inheritance to the half-tribe of Manasseh. It was allotted to the half-tribe of the people of Manasseh according to their clans. 30 Their region extended from Mahanaim, through all Bashan, the whole kingdom of Og king of Bashan, and all the towns of Jair, which are in Bashan, sixty cities, (Nu 32:41; De 3:14; Jos 13:26; 1Ch 2:23)

Nu 32:41De 3:14Jos 13:261Ch 2:23

31 and half Gilead, and Ashtaroth, and Edrei, the cities of the kingdom of Og in Bashan. These were allotted to the people of Machir the son of Manasseh for the half of the people of Machir according to their clans. (Nu 32:39; Jos 12:4; Jos 17:1) 32 These are the inheritances that Moses distributed in the plains of Moab, beyond the Jordan east of Jericho. (Nu 22:1) 33 But to the tribe of Levi Moses gave no inheritance; the Lord God of Israel is their inheritance, just as he said to them. (Nu 18:20; Jos 13:14; Jos 18:7)

Land still to be taken

1 When Joshua had grown old, the Lord said to him, ‘You are now very old, and there are still very large areas of land to be taken over. 2 ‘This is the land that remains: ‘all the regions of the Philistines and Geshurites, 3 from the River Shihor on the east of Egypt to the territory of Ekron on the north, all of it counted as Canaanite though held by the five Philistine rulers in Gaza, Ashdod, Ashkelon, Gath and Ekron; the territory of the Avvites 4 on the south; all the land of the Canaanites, from Arah of the Sidonians as far as Aphek and the border of the Amorites; 5 the area of Byblos; and all Lebanon to the east, from Baal Gad below Mount Hermon to Lebo Hamath. 6 ‘As for all the inhabitants of the mountain regions from Lebanon to Misrephoth Maim, that is, all the Sidonians, I myself will drive them out before the Israelites. Be sure to allocate this land to Israel for an inheritance, as I have instructed you, 7 and divide it as an inheritance among the nine tribes and half of the tribe of Manasseh.’

Division of the land east of the Jordan

8 The other half of Manasseh,^[1] 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 it to them. 9 It extended from Aroer on the rim of the Arnon Gorge, and from the town in the middle of the gorge, and included the whole plateau of Medeba as far as Dibon, 10 and all the towns of Sihon king of the Amorites, who ruled in Heshbon, out to the border of the Ammonites. 11 It also included Gilead, the territory of the people of Geshur and Maakah, all of Mount Hermon and all Bashan as far as Salekah – 12 that is, the whole kingdom of Og in Bashan, who had reigned in Ashtaroth and Edrei. (He was the last of the Rephaites.) Moses had defeated them and taken over their land. 13 But the Israelites did not drive out the people of Geshur and Maakah, so they continue to live among the Israelites to this day. 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. 15 This is what Moses had given to the tribe of Reuben, according to its clans: 16 The territory from Aroer on the rim of the Arnon Gorge, and from the town in the middle of the gorge, and the whole plateau past Medeba 17 to Heshbon and all its towns on the plateau, including Dibon, Bamoth Baal, Beth Baal Meon, 18 Jahaz, Kedemoth, Mephaath, 19 Kiriathaim, Sibmah, Zereth Shahar on the hill in the valley, 20 Beth Peor, the slopes of Pisgah, and Beth Jeshimoth – 21 all the towns on the plateau and the entire realm of Sihon king of the Amorites, who ruled at Heshbon. Moses had defeated him and the Midianite chiefs, Evi, Rekem, Zur, Hur and Reba – 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, who practised divination. 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. 24 This is what Moses had given to the tribe of Gad, according to its clans: 25 The territory of Jazer, all the towns of Gilead and half the Ammonite country as far as Aroer, near Rabbah; 26 and from Heshbon to Ramath Mizpah and Betonim, and from Mahanaim to the territory of Debir; 27 and in the valley, Beth Haram, Beth Nimrah, Sukkoth and Zaphon 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^[2]). 28 These towns and their villages were the inheritance of the Gadites, 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 and including all of Bashan, the entire realm of Og king of Bashan – all the settlements of Jair in Bashan, sixty towns, 31 half of Gilead, and Ashtaroth and Edrei (the royal cities of Og in Bashan). This was for the descendants of Makir son of Manasseh – for half of the sons of Makir, according to their clans. 32 This is the inheritance Moses had given when he was in the plains of Moab across the Jordan east of Jericho. 33 But to the tribe of Levi, Moses had given no inheritance; the Lord, the God of Israel, is their inheritance, as he promised them.

The land that remained to be taken over

1 Joshua was now very old. The LORD said to him, ‘You are very old. And there are still very large areas of land that have not yet been taken over. 2 ‘Here is the land that remains to be taken over. ‘It includes all the areas of Philistia and Geshur. 3 Those areas begin at the River Shihor in the eastern part of Egypt. They go to the territory of Ekron in the north. All that land is considered Canaanite even though it is controlled by five Philistine rulers. They rule over Gaza, Ashdod, Ashkelon, Gath and Ekron. The Avvites 4 live south of them. The rest of the land of Canaan that remains to be taken over reaches from Arah all the way to Aphek. Arah belongs to the people of Sidon. The land that remains to be taken reaches the border of Amorite territory. 5 It includes the area of Byblos. It also includes all of Lebanon to the east. It reaches from Baal Gad below Mount Hermon all the way to Lebo Hamath. 6 ‘I myself will drive out all the people who live in the mountain areas. Those areas reach from Lebanon to Misrephoth Maim. They include the area where all the people of Sidon live. I myself will drive out those people to make room for the Israelites. Make sure you set that land apart for Israel. Give it to them as their share, just as I have instructed you. 7 Divide it up among the nine tribes and half of the tribe of Manasseh. Give each tribe its share.’

Land for the tribes east of the River Jordan

8 The other half of Manasseh’s tribe had already received the share of land Moses had given them. Their share was east of the River Jordan. The tribes of Reuben and Gad had already received their share too. Moses, the servant of the LORD, had given it to them. 9 That land starts at Aroer on the rim of the River Arnon valley. It includes the town in the middle of the valley. It includes the high plains of Medeba all the way to Dibon. 10 It also includes all the towns of Sihon, the king of the Amorites. He had ruled in Heshbon. That area reaches to the border of Ammon. 11 It also includes Gilead. It includes the territory of Geshur and Maakah. It includes Mount Hermon and the whole land of Bashan all the way to Salekah. 12 So it includes the entire kingdom of Og in Bashan. Og had ruled in Ashtaroth and Edrei. He was the last of the Rephaites. Moses had won the battle over Sihon and Og. He had taken over their land. 13 But the Israelites didn’t drive out the people of Geshur and Maakah. So they continue to live among the Israelites to this day. 14 Moses hadn’t given any share of the land to the tribe of Levi. That’s because the food offerings are their share. Those offerings are presented to the LORD, the God of Israel. Moses gave the Levites what he had promised them. 15 Here is what Moses had given to the tribe of Reuben, according to its family groups. 16 Their territory starts at Aroer on the rim of the River Arnon valley. It includes the town in the middle of the valley. It includes all of the high plains near Medeba. 17 It includes Heshbon and all its towns on those plains. Those towns include Dibon, Bamoth Baal, Beth Baal Meon, 18 Jahaz, Kedemoth and Mephaath. 19 They include Kiriathaim, Sibmah and Zereth Shahar on the hill in the valley. 20 They also include Beth Peor, Beth Jeshimoth and the slopes of Pisgah. 21 All those towns are on the high plains. The territory includes the whole kingdom of Sihon, the king of the Amorites. He had ruled in Heshbon. Moses had won the battle over him and over the chiefs of Midian. Those chiefs were Evi, Rekem, Zur, Hur and Reba. They were princes who helped Sihon fight against Israel. They lived in that country. 22 The Israelites killed many of them in battle. They also killed Balaam with their swords. He was the son of Beor. Balaam had used evil magic to find out what was going to happen. 23 The border of the tribe of Reuben was the bank of the River Jordan. All those towns and their villages were given to the tribe of Reuben as their very own. Each family group received its share. 24 Here is what Moses had given to the tribe of Gad, according to its family groups. 25 Their territory includes Jazer and all the towns of Gilead. It includes half of the country of Ammon all the way to Aroer, which was near Rabbah. 26 Their territory reaches from Heshbon to Ramath Mizpah and Betonim. It reaches from Mahanaim to the territory of Debir. 27 In the valley their land includes Beth Haram, Beth Nimrah, Sukkoth and Zaphon. It also includes the rest of the kingdom of Sihon. He was the king of Heshbon. His kingdom included the east side of the River Jordan. It reached up to the south end of the Sea of Galilee. 28 All those towns and their villages were given to the tribe of Gad as their very own. Each family group received its share. 29 Here is what Moses had given to half of the tribe of Manasseh, according to its family groups. It’s what Moses had given to half of Manasseh’s family line. 30 Their territory starts at Mahanaim. It includes the whole land of Bashan. That was the entire kingdom of Og, the king of Bashan. Manasseh’s territory includes all the 60 towns of Jair in Bashan. 31 It includes half of the land of Gilead. It also includes Ashtaroth and Edrei. They were the royal cities of Og in Bashan. That land was given to half of the family line of Makir. He was the son of Manasseh. Each family group received its share. 32 Those were the shares of land Moses had given the eastern tribes when he was in the plains of Moab. The plains are across the River Jordan east of Jericho. 33 But Moses hadn’t given any share to the tribe of Levi. The LORD, the God of Israel, is their share. Moses gave the Levites what he had promised them.

King James Version

1 Now Joshua was old and stricken in years; and the LORD said unto him, Thou art old and stricken in years, and there remaineth yet very much land to be possessed. 2 This is the land that yet remaineth: all the borders of the Philistines, and all Geshuri, 3 From Sihor, which is before Egypt, even unto the borders of Ekron northward, which is counted to the Canaanite: five lords of the Philistines; the Gazathites, and the Ashdothites, the Eshkalonites, the Gittites, and the Ekronites; also the Avites: 4 From the south, all the land of the Canaanites, and Mearah that is beside the Sidonians, unto Aphek, to the borders of the Amorites: 5 And the land of the Giblites, and all Lebanon, toward the sunrising, from Baalgad under mount Hermon unto the entering into Hamath. 6 All the inhabitants of the hill country from Lebanon unto Misrephothmaim, and all the Sidonians, them will I drive out from before the children of Israel: only divide thou it by lot unto the Israelites for an inheritance, as I have commanded thee. 7 Now therefore divide this land for an inheritance unto the nine tribes, and the half tribe of Manasseh, 8 With whom the Reubenites and the Gadites have received their inheritance, which Moses gave them, beyond Jordan eastward, even as Moses the servant of the LORD gave them; 9 From Aroer, that is upon the bank of the river Arnon, and the city that is in the midst of the river, and all the plain of Medeba unto Dibon; 10 And all the cities of Sihon king of the Amorites, which reigned in Heshbon, unto the border of the children of Ammon; 11 And Gilead, and the border of the Geshurites 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 And Moses gave unto the tribe of the children of Reuben inheritance according to their families. 16 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 Bamothbaal, and Bethbaalmeon, 18 And Jahazah, and Kedemoth, and Mephaath, 19 And Kirjathaim, and Sibmah, and Zarethshahar in the mount of the valley, 20 And Bethpeor, and Ashdothpisgah, and Bethjeshimoth, 21 And all the cities of the plain, and all the kingdom of Sihon king of the Amorites, which reigned in Heshbon, whom Moses smote with the princes of Midian, Evi, and Rekem, and Zur, and Hur, and Reba, which were dukes of Sihon, dwelling in the country. 22 Balaam also the son of Beor, the soothsayer, did the children of Israel slay with the sword among them that were slain by them. 23 And the border of the children of Reuben was Jordan, and the border thereof . This was the inheritance of the children of Reuben after their families, the cities and the villages thereof. 24 And Moses gave inheritance unto the tribe of Gad, even unto the children of Gad according to their families. 25 And their coast was Jazer, and all the cities of Gilead, and half the land of the children of Ammon, unto Aroer that is before Rabbah; 26 And from Heshbon unto Ramathmizpeh, and Betonim; and from Mahanaim unto the border of Debir; 27 And in the valley, Betharam, and Bethnimrah, and Succoth, and Zaphon, the rest of the kingdom of Sihon king of Heshbon, Jordan and his border, even unto the edge of the sea of Chinnereth on the other side Jordan eastward. 28 This is the inheritance of the children of Gad after their families, the cities, and their villages. 29 And Moses gave inheritance unto the half tribe of Manasseh: and this was the possession of the half tribe of the children of Manasseh by their families. 30 And their coast was from Mahanaim, all Bashan, all the kingdom of Og king of Bashan, and all the towns of Jair, which are in Bashan, threescore cities: 31 And half Gilead, and Ashtaroth, and Edrei, cities of the kingdom of Og in Bashan, were pertaining unto the children of Machir the son of Manasseh, even to the one half of the children of Machir by their families. 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.

VERTEILUNG DES LANDES

Auftrag an Josua

1 Als Josua alt und hochbetagt war, sagte der HERR zu ihm: Du bist alt und hochbetagt, aber vom Land bleibt noch sehr viel in Besitz zu nehmen. 2 Das ist das Land, das noch übrig ist: alle Bezirke der Philister und das ganze Gebiet der Geschuriter 3 vom Schihor-Fluss östlich von Ägypten bis zum Gebiet von Ekron im Norden - es wird den Kanaanitern zugerechnet -, die fünf Philisterfürsten von Gaza, Aschdod, Aschkelon, Gat und Ekron sowie die Awiter (Jud 3:3) 4 im Süden, das ganze Land der Kanaaniter und Meara, das zu den Sidoniern gehört, bis nach Afek und bis zum Gebiet der Amoriter, 5 ferner das Land der Gibliter und der ganze Libanon gegen Sonnenaufgang, von Baal-Gad am Fuß des Hermongebirges bis nach Lebo-Hamat. 6 Alle Bewohner des Berglandes vom Libanon bis nach Misrefot-Majim, alle Sidonier werde ich selbst vor den Israeliten vertreiben. Du aber verlose das Land für Israel als Erbbesitz, wie ich es dir befohlen habe! 7 Verteil nun dieses Land als Erbbesitz an die neun Stämme und den halben Stamm Manasse!

Landzuteilung im Osten

8 Die andere Hälfte des Stammes Manasse und mit ihm die Rubeniter und Gaditer hatten ihren Erbbesitz schon erhalten; ihn hatte Mose ihnen jenseits des Jordan nach Osten gegeben, wie ihn Mose, der Knecht des HERRN, ihnen zugewiesen hatte, (Jos 13:15) 9 von Aroër am Rand des Arnontales und von der Stadt an, die mitten im Tal liegt, also die ganze Ebene von Medeba bis Dibon, 10 alle Städte des Amoriterkönigs Sihon, der in Heschbon herrschte, bis zum Gebiet der Ammoniter, 11 dazu Gilead und das Gebiet der Geschuriter und Maachatiter und das ganze Hermongebirge und den ganzen Baschan bis nach Salcha, 12 das ganze Reich des Og im Baschan, der in Aschtarot und Edreï herrschte. Er war vom Rest der Rafaïter übrig geblieben. Mose hatte sie geschlagen und vertrieben. 13 Aber die Israeliten vertrieben die Geschuriter und die Maachatiter nicht; so wohnen Geschuriter und Maachatiter bis zum heutigen Tag mitten in Israel. 14 Nur dem Stamm Levi gab Josua keinen Erbbesitz; der HERR, der Gott Israels, ist sein Erbteil, wie der HERR ihm gesagt hatte. (Nu 18:20; De 18:1; Jos 13:33; Jos 18:7)

Nu 18:20De 18:1Jos 13:33Jos 18:7

15 Die Zuteilung an den Stamm der Rubeniter hatte also Mose entsprechend ihren Sippen vorgenommen. (Nu 32:1) 16 Ihnen war zuteilgeworden das Gebiet von Aroër am Rand des Arnontales und von der Stadt an, die mitten im Tal liegt: die ganze Ebene bei Medeba, 17 Heschbon und alle seine Städte in der Ebene, Dibon, Bamot-Baal und Bet-Baal-Meon, 18 Jahaz, Kedemot und Mefaat, 19 Kirjatajim, Sibma und Zeret-Schahar auf dem Berg in der Talebene, 20 Bet-Pegor, die Abhänge des Pisga, Bet-Jeschimot 21 und alle Städte der Ebene, das heißt: das ganze Reich des Amoriterkönigs Sihon, der in Heschbon herrschte. Mose hatte ihn und die Vornehmen Midians geschlagen: Ewi, Rekem, Zur, Hur und Reba, die Stammesführer Sihons, die im Land wohnten. 22 Auch den Wahrsager Bileam, den Sohn Beors, hatten die Israeliten zusammen mit den anderen mit dem Schwert erschlagen. (Nu 22:5; Nu 31:8) 23 Die Grenze der Rubeniter bildete der Jordan und sein Ufergebiet. Dieses Gebiet mit seinen Städten und Gehöften ist der Erbbesitz der Rubeniter, entsprechend ihren Sippen. 24 Mose hatte auch die Zuteilung an den Stamm Gad, die Gaditer, entsprechend ihren Sippen vorgenommen. 25 Ihnen war zuteilgeworden das Gebiet von Jaser und alle Städte Gileads, das halbe Land der Ammoniter bis Aroër, das gegenüber Rabba liegt, 26 das Land von Heschbon bis Ramat-Mizpe und Betonim und von Mahanajim bis zum Gebiet von Lo-Dabar, 27 dazu in der Talebene Bet-Haram, Bet-Nimra, Sukkot und Zafon - der Rest des Reiches Sihons, des Königs von Heschbon -, ferner der Jordan und das Gebiet bis zum Ende des Sees von Kinneret jenseits des Jordan gegen Osten. 28 Dieses Gebiet mit seinen Städten und Gehöften ist der Erbbesitz der Gaditer, entsprechend ihren Sippen. 29 Mose hatte auch die Zuteilung an den halben Stamm Manasse vorgenommen und diese war auch für den halben Stamm der Manassiten nach seinen Sippen erfolgt. 30 Sein Gebiet umfasste von Mahanajim an den ganzen Baschan, das ganze Reich des Königs Og vom Baschan und alle Zeltdörfer Jaïrs im Baschan, sechzig Städte. 31 Die Hälfte von Gilead sowie Aschtarot und Edreï, die Königsstädte des Og vom Baschan, fiel den Nachkommen Machirs, des Sohnes Manasses, zu, und zwar der Hälfte der Machiriter entsprechend ihren Sippen. 32 Das sind die Gebiete, die Mose in den Steppen von Moab jenseits des Jordan östlich von Jericho als Erbbesitz verteilt hatte. 33 Dem Stamm Levi aber hatte Mose keinen Erbbesitz zugeteilt. Der HERR, der Gott Israels, ist ihr Erbteil, wie er es ihnen gesagt hatte. (Jos 13:14; Jos 18:7)
