delivered them to Israel, who pursuing them to Great Zidon, and to Mizrephothmaim, eastward to the valley of Mizpeth, and routed them wholly. 9. So Joshua did as the Eternal commanded him. 10.Then he returned and took Hazor, and smote its king; it was formerly the head of all those kingdoms. 11. He smote all that were in it, and burnt it. 12. All those kings, with their cities, he smote, as Moses the Eternal's servant had said. 13. But they burned none of the fortified cities that were on hills, except Hazor. 14. They smote all the men of them, and took the cattle and all the spoil of them for a prey. 15. As the Eternal commanded Moses his servant, so did he command Joshua, and so did Joshua; he left nothing undone of all that the Eternal commanded Moses.

16. So Joshua took all that land, the hills and the vallies, all the south hill country, and all the land of Goshen and the plain, the mountain and the valley of Israel (where Jacob dwelt), 17. From mount Halak, which extends to Seir, even unto Balgad, in the valley of Lebanon, under mount Hermon, and he smote all their kings. 18. Having wared a long time, (even seven years,) with all those kings, 19. And taken all their cities, except Gibeon, whose inhabitants the Hivites, made peace with Israel: 20. For the Eternal abandoned the rest to the hardness of their hearts to fight against Israel, and to be utterly destroyed, having no favour shewn them, as the Eternal commanded Moses. 21. At that time. Joshua cut off the Anakims, with their cities, from the mountains, from Hebron, Debir, and Anab, and all the mountains of Judah and of Israel; 22. None of them remained in the land of the Israelites, except in Gaza, in Gath, and in Ashdod. 23. So Joshua took all the land which he attacked, according to all that the Eternal said to Moses, and gave it for an inheritance to Israel, according to the divisions of their tribes: so the land rested from war.

BOUNDS OF THE LAND NOT CONQUEred.

1

JOSHUA being now far advanced in years, the Eter nal said to him, Thou art now old, and there remains yet much land to be taken and possessed, 2. Even all the territories of the Philistines, and of the Geshurites, not yet occupied; 3. From the river Sihor, (a branch of the Nile), conterminate with Egypt, to the north border of Ekron, which was taken from the Canaanites, by the Philistine potentates; their principalities, of Gaza, Ashdod, Eshkalon, the Gitites, Ekron, and also the Avites. 4. And all the land of the Canaanites, to the south, then Canaan properly so called, with Merah of the Sidonians westward, to Apeh, the border of the Amorites: 5. And the Giblites land, and all Lebanon eastward, from BaalGad under mount Hermon, to the entrance to Hamath; 6. And all the hill country, from Lebanon to the waters of Misrephoth, and all the Sidonian nations, will I, (the Eternal) drive out before the Israelites; therefore divide thou it previously by lot.

for inheritances, as I have commanded thee, (from Jordan to the Mediterranean sea). 7. To the nine tribes, and the half of the tribe of Manasseh, 8. The other half tribe, with the Reubenites and the Gadites, having received their inheritance, which Moses the Eternal's servant gave them on the east side of Jordan, 9. From the city Aroer on the river Arnon, and all the plain of Medeba to Dibon. 10. And all the cities of Sihon the Amorite king, who reigned in Heshbon, unto the Amonites border: 11. And the region of Gilead, and the Geshurites, and Maachathites border, and all mount Hermon, and all Bashan, to Salcah: 12. And all the kingdom of Og in Bashan, who ruled over Ashtaroth and Edrei, being the only relict of the giants; these did Moses smite and cast out. 13. But the Israelites expelled not the Geshurites, and the Maachathites (of the mountains), for they continued to dwell with the Israelites. 14.To Levi's tribe, only Moses gave no inheritance, the Eternal the God of Israel's offerings and sacrifices being their inheritance, as he said to them.

15.Moses gave Reuben's tribe an inheritance sufficient for all their families, 16.From the city Aroer on the river Arnon, and all the borders of Medebah; 17. Heshbon, and all its cities in the plain, Dibon, Baamoth-Baal, Beth-Baal-Meon, 18. Jahazah, Kedemoth, Mephaath, 19. Kirjathaim, Sibmah, and Zareth-shahar, on the mount Enak, 20. Beth-Peor, Ahdoth-Pisgah, and Bethjeshimoth; 21. All the cities of the plain, all the kingdom of Sihon the Ainorite king, who reigned in Heshbon, whom Moses smote with the princes of Midian, Evi, Rekem, Zur, Hur, and Reba, dukes of Sihon, dwelling in the country. 22. The Israelites slew also Balaam the deviner with the rest.

23. And Reuben's boundaries westward were Jordan and its confines; such cities and villages Reuben possessed..

24.Gad's tribe received their inheritance also from Moses. 25.Their territory was Jazer, with the cities of Gilead, and part of the Amonites land, to Aroer; opposite to Rabah; 26. And from Heshbon, (on the south), to Ramoth-Mizpeh and Betonim, and from Machanaim to the borders of Debir, 27. And in the valley Betharam Bethniinrah, Succoth, and Zaphon, the rest of Sihon's kingdom, who dwelt in Heshbon, the confines of Jordan eastward, to the extremity of the sea of Cinneroth. 28. The Gadites possessed › this as their inheritance, with the cities and villages.

29. Moses also gave the half tribe of Manasseth an inheritance. 30. Their border was from Mahanaim, (on the south), all Og king of Bashan's kingdom, and all the towns of Jair therein, sixty cities, 31. And part of Gilead, and Ashtaroth, and Edrei, cities of the kingdom of Bashan, pertained to the half of Machir's posterity, Manasseth's offspring.

32,33.These are the places which Moses distributed when in the plains of Moab, on the east side of Jordan, opposite to Jericho.

CHAP. XIV.

THE LOTS OF INHERITANCES.

THE Israelites possessed the following places in the land of Canaan, according to the distribution of Eleazer the high-priest, and Joshua the son of Nun, and the chief fathers among the tribes. 2. The nine tribes, and the half tribe of Manasseh, received their inheritances by lot, as the Eternal commanded by Moses, 3. Who gave the other two tribes, and the half tribe, their inheritances beyond Jordan; but he gave none to the Levites.

4. Joseph's sons, Manasseh and Ephraim, became two tribes, no part of the land being given to the Levites, but cities to dwell in, with fields for their cattle. 5. The Israelites did as the Eternal commanded Moses, and so they divided the land..
