1Sendo Josué já velho, de idade bastante avançada, o SENHOR lhe disse: “Você já está velho, e ainda há muita terra para ser conquistada.2“Esta é a terra que resta: “todas as regiões dos filisteus e dos gesuritas;3desde o rio Sior, próximo ao Egito, até o território de Ecrom, ao norte, todo esse território considerado cananeu. Abrange a região dos aveus, isto é, dos cinco chefes filisteus, governantes de Gaza, de Asdode, de Ascalom, de Gate e de Ecrom.4Resta ainda, desde o sul, toda a terra dos cananeus, desde Ara dos sidônios até Afeque, a região dos amorreus,5a dos gibleus e todo o Líbano, para o leste, desde Baal-Gade, ao pé do monte Hermom, até Lebo-Hamate.6“Todos os habitantes das montanhas, desde o Líbano até Misrefote-Maim, isto é, todos os sidônios; eu mesmo os expulsarei da presença dos israelitas. Você, porém, distribuirá essa terra a Israel por herança, como ordenei,7repartindo-a agora entre as nove tribos e a metade da tribo de Manassés”.
A Divisão das Terras a Leste do Jordão
8Com a outra metade da tribo de Manassés, as tribos de Rúben e de Gade já haviam recebido a herança a leste do Jordão, conforme Moisés, servo do SENHOR, lhes tinha designado.9Esse território se estendia de Aroer, na margem do ribeiro do Arnom, e da cidade situada no meio do vale desse ribeiro, incluindo todo o planalto de Medeba até Dibom,10e todas as cidades de Seom, rei dos amorreus, que governava em Hesbom, e prosseguia até a fronteira dos amonitas.11Também incluía Gileade, o território dos gesuritas e maacatitas, toda a região do monte Hermom e toda a Basã até Salcá,12isto é, todo o reino de Ogue, em Basã, que tinha reinado em Asterote e Edrei, um dos últimos refains sobreviventes. Moisés os tinha derrotado e tomado as suas terras.13Mas os israelitas não expulsaram os gesuritas e maacatitas, de modo que até hoje continuam a viver no meio deles.14Mas à tribo de Levi não deu herança alguma, visto que as ofertas preparadas no fogo ao SENHOR, o Deus de Israel, são a herança deles, como já lhes dissera.15À tribo de Rúben, clã por clã, Moisés dera o seguinte território:16Desde Aroer, na margem do ribeiro do Arnom, e desde a cidade situada no meio do vale desse ribeiro e todo o planalto depois de Medeba17até Hesbom e todas as suas cidades no planalto, inclusive Dibom, Bamote-Baal, Bete-Baal-Meom,18Jaza, Quedemote, Mefaate,19Quiriataim, Sibma, Zerete-Saar, na encosta do vale,20Bete-Peor, as encostas do Pisga, e Bete-Jesimote:21todas as cidades do planalto e todo o domínio de Seom, rei dos amorreus, que governava em Hesbom. Moisés o tinha derrotado, bem como aos líderes midianitas Evi, Requém, Zur, Hur e Reba, aliados de Seom, que viviam naquela terra.22Além dos que foram mortos na guerra, os israelitas mataram à espada Balaão, filho de Beor, que praticava adivinhação.23A fronteira da tribo de Rúben era a margem do Jordão. Essas cidades e os seus povoados foram a herança de Rúben, clã por clã.24À tribo de Gade, clã por clã, Moisés dera o seguinte território:25O território de Jazar, todas as cidades de Gileade e metade do território amonita até Aroer, perto de Rabá.26Estendia-se desde Hesbom até Ramate-Mispá e Betonim, e desde Maanaim até o território de Debir.27No vale do Jordão incluía Bete-Arã, Bete-Ninra, Sucote e Zafom; o restante do domínio de Seom, rei de Hesbom. (Abrangia a margem leste do Jordão até o mar de Quinerete.)28Essa região com suas cidades e povoados foram a herança de Gade, clã por clã.29À metade da tribo de Manassés, isto é, à metade dos descendentes de Manassés, clã por clã, Moisés dera o seguinte território:30O seu território se estendia desde Maanaim e incluía toda a região de Basã, todo o domínio de Ogue, rei de Basã: todos os povoados de Jair em Basã, sessenta cidades;31metade de Gileade, e Asterote e Edrei, cidades do reino de Ogue, em Basã. Esse foi o território destinado à metade dos descendentes de Maquir, filho de Manassés, clã por clã.32Essa foi a herança que Moisés lhes deu quando estava na planície de Moabe, do outro lado do Jordão, a leste de Jericó.33Mas à tribo de Levi Moisés não deu herança alguma; o SENHOR, o Deus de Israel, é a herança deles, como já lhes dissera.

Land Still to Be Conquered
1Now 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.2This is the land that yet remains: all the regions of the Philistines, and all those of the Geshurites3(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,4in the south, all the land of the Canaanites, and Mearah that belongs to the Sidonians, to Aphek, to the boundary of the Amorites,5and the land of the Gebalites, and all Lebanon, toward the sunrise, from Baal-gad below Mount Hermon to Lebo-hamath,6all 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.7Now therefore divide this land for an inheritance to the nine tribes and half the tribe of Manasseh.”
The Inheritance East of the Jordan
8With the other half of the tribe of Manasseh* 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:9from 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;10and all the cities of Sihon king of the Amorites, who reigned in Heshbon, as far as the boundary of the Ammonites;11and Gilead, and the region of the Geshurites and Maacathites, and all Mount Hermon, and all Bashan to Salecah;12all 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.13Yet 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.14To 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.15And Moses gave an inheritance to the tribe of the people of Reuben according to their clans.16So 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;17with Heshbon, and all its cities that are in the tableland; Dibon, and Bamoth-baal, and Beth-baal-meon,18and Jahaz, and Kedemoth, and Mephaath,19and Kiriathaim, and Sibmah, and Zereth-shahar on the hill of the valley,20and Beth-peor, and the slopes of Pisgah, and Beth-jeshimoth,21that 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.22Balaam 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.23And 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.24Moses gave an inheritance also to the tribe of Gad, to the people of Gad, according to their clans.25Their territory was Jazer, and all the cities of Gilead, and half the land of the Ammonites, to Aroer, which is east of Rabbah,26and from Heshbon to Ramath-mizpeh and Betonim, and from Mahanaim to the territory of Debir,*27and 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.28This is the inheritance of the people of Gad according to their clans, with their cities and villages.29And 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.30Their 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,31and 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.32These are the inheritances that Moses distributed in the plains of Moab, beyond the Jordan east of Jericho.33But to the tribe of Levi Moses gave no inheritance; the Lord God of Israel is their inheritance, just as he said to them.
