The Old Testament of the
King James Version of the Bible
10:1 Now it came to pass, when Adonizedec
king of Jerusalem had heard
how Joshua had taken Ai, and had utterly
destroyed it; as he had done
to Jericho and her king, so he had done to
Ai and her king; and how
the inhabitants of Gibeon had made peace
with Israel, and were among
them; 10:2 That they feared greatly, because
Gibeon was a great city,
as one of the royal cities, and because it
was greater than Ai, and
all the men thereof were mighty.
10:3 Wherefore Adonizedec king of Jerusalem,
sent unto Hoham king of
Hebron, and unto Piram king of Jarmuth, and
unto Japhia king of
Lachish, and unto Debir king of Eglon,
saying, 10:4 Come up unto me,
and help me, that we may smite Gibeon: for
it hath made peace with
Joshua and with the children of Israel.
10:5 Therefore the five kings of the
Amorites, the king of Jerusalem,
the king of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth, the
king of Lachish, the king
of Eglon, gathered themselves together, and
went up, they and all
their hosts, and encamped before Gibeon, and
made war against it.
10:6 And the men of Gibeon sent unto Joshua
to the camp to Gilgal,
saying, Slack not thy hand from thy
servants; come up to us quickly,
and save us, and help us: for all the kings
of the Amorites that dwell
in the mountains are gathered together
against us.
10:7 So Joshua ascended from Gilgal, he, and
all the people of war
with him, and all the mighty men of valour.
10:8 And the LORD said unto Joshua, Fear
them not: for I have
delivered them into thine hand; there shall
not a man of them stand
before thee.
10:9 Joshua therefore came unto them
suddenly, and went up from Gilgal
all night.
10:10 And the LORD discomfited them before
Israel, and slew them with
a great slaughter at Gibeon, and chased them
along the way that goeth
up to Bethhoron, and smote them to Azekah,
and unto Makkedah.
10:11 And it came to pass, as they fled from
before Israel, and were
in the going down to Bethhoron, that the
LORD cast down great stones
from heaven upon them unto Azekah, and they
died: they were more which
died with hailstones than they whom the
children of Israel slew with
the sword.
10:12 Then spake Joshua to the LORD in the
day when the LORD delivered
up the Amorites before the children of
Israel, and he said in the
sight of Israel, Sun, stand thou still upon
Gibeon; and thou, Moon, in
the valley of Ajalon.
10:13 And the sun stood still, and the moon
stayed, until the people
had avenged themselves upon their enemies.
Is not this written in the
book of Jasher? So the sun stood still in
the midst of heaven, and
hasted not to go down about a whole day.
10:14 And there was no day like that before
it or after it, that the
LORD hearkened unto the voice of a man: for
the LORD fought for
Israel.
10:15 And Joshua returned, and all Israel
with him, unto the camp to
Gilgal.
10:16 But these five kings fled, and hid
themselves in a cave at
Makkedah.
10:17 And it was told Joshua, saying, The
five kings are found hid in
a cave at Makkedah.
10:18 And Joshua said, Roll great stones
upon the mouth of the cave,
and set men by it for to keep them: 10:19
And stay ye not, but pursue
after your enemies, and smite the hindmost
of them; suffer them not to
enter into their cities: for the LORD your
God hath delivered them
into your hand.
10:20 And it came to pass, when Joshua and
the children of Israel had
made an end of slaying them with a very
great slaughter, till they
were consumed, that the rest which remained
of them entered into
fenced cities.
10:21 And all the people returned to the
camp to Joshua at Makkedah in
peace: none moved his tongue against any of
the children of Israel.
10:22 Then said Joshua, Open the mouth of
the cave, and bring out
those five kings unto me out of the cave.
10:23 And they did so, and brought forth
those five kings unto him out
of the cave, the king of Jerusalem, the king
of Hebron, the king of
Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, and the king
of Eglon.
10:24 And it came to pass, when they brought
out those kings unto
Joshua, that Joshua called for all the men
of Israel, and said unto
the captains of the men of war which went
with him, Come near, put
your feet upon the necks of these kings. And
they came near, and put
their feet upon the necks of them.
10:25 And Joshua said unto them, Fear not,
nor be dismayed, be strong
and of good courage: for thus shall the LORD
do to all your enemies
against whom ye fight.
10:26 And afterward Joshua smote them, and
slew them, and hanged them
on five trees: and they were hanging upon
the trees until the evening.
10:27 And it came to pass at the time of the
going down of the sun,
that Joshua commanded, and they took them
down off the trees, and cast
them into the cave wherein they had been
hid, and laid great stones in
the cave's mouth, which remain until this
very day.
10:28 And that day Joshua took Makkedah, and
smote it with the edge of
the sword, and the king thereof he utterly
destroyed, them, and all
the souls that were therein; he let none
remain: and he did to the
king of Makkedah as he did unto the king of
Jericho.
10:29 Then Joshua passed from Makkedah, and
all Israel with him, unto
Libnah, and fought against Libnah: 10:30 And
the LORD delivered it
also, and the king thereof, into the hand of
Israel; and he smote it
with the edge of the sword, and all the
souls that were therein; he
let none remain in it; but did unto the king
thereof as he did unto
the king of Jericho.
10:31 And Joshua passed from Libnah, and all
Israel with him, unto
Lachish, and encamped against it, and fought
against it: 10:32 And the
LORD delivered Lachish into the hand of
Israel, which took it on the
second day, and smote it with the edge of
the sword, and all the souls
that were therein, according to all that he
had done to Libnah.
10:33 Then Horam king of Gezer came up to
help Lachish; and Joshua
smote him and his people, until he had left
him none remaining.
10:34 And from Lachish Joshua passed unto
Eglon, and all Israel with
him; and they encamped against it, and
fought against it: 10:35 And
they took it on that day, and smote it with
the edge of the sword, and
all the souls that were therein he utterly
destroyed that day,
according to all that he had done to
Lachish.
10:36 And Joshua went up from Eglon, and all
Israel with him, unto
Hebron; and they fought against it: 10:37
And they took it, and smote
it with the edge of the sword, and the king
thereof, and all the
cities thereof, and all the souls that were
therein; he left none
remaining, according to all that he had done
to Eglon; but destroyed
it utterly, and all the souls that were
therein.
10:38 And Joshua returned, and all Israel
with him, to Debir; and
fought against it: 10:39 And he took it, and
the king thereof, and all
the cities thereof; and they smote them with
the edge of the sword,
and utterly destroyed all the souls that
were therein; he left none
remaining: as he had done to Hebron, so he
did to Debir, and to the
king thereof; as he had done also to Libnah,
and to her king.
10:40 So Joshua smote all the country of the
hills, and of the south,
and of the vale, and of the springs, and all
their kings: he left none
remaining, but utterly destroyed all that
breathed, as the LORD God of
Israel commanded.
10:41 And Joshua smote them from
Kadeshbarnea even unto Gaza, and all
the country of Goshen, even unto Gibeon.
10:42 And all these kings and their land did
Joshua take at one time,
because the LORD God of Israel fought for
Israel.
10:43 And Joshua returned, and all Israel
with him, unto the camp to
Gilgal.
11:1 And it came to pass, when Jabin king of
Hazor had heard those
things, that he sent to Jobab king of Madon,
and to the king of
Shimron, and to the king of Achshaph, 11:2
And to the kings that were
on the north of the mountains, and of the
plains south of Chinneroth,
and in the valley, and in the borders of Dor
on the west, 11:3 And to
the Canaanite on the east and on the west,
and to the Amorite, and the
Hittite, and the Perizzite, and the Jebusite
in the mountains, and to
the Hivite under Hermon in the land of
Mizpeh.
11:4 And they went out, they and all their
hosts with them, much
people, even as the sand that is upon the
sea shore in multitude, with
horses and chariots very many.
11:5 And when all these kings were met
together, they came and pitched
together at the waters of Merom, to fight
against Israel.
11:6 And the LORD said unto Joshua, Be not
afraid because of them: for
to morrow about this time will I deliver
them up all slain before
Israel: thou shalt hough their horses, and
burn their chariots with
fire.
11:7 So Joshua came, and all the people of
war with him, against them
by the waters of Merom suddenly; and they
fell upon them.
11:8 And the LORD delivered them into the
hand of Israel, who smote
them, and chased them unto great Zidon, and
unto Misrephothmaim, and
unto the valley of Mizpeh eastward; and they
smote them, until they
left them none remaining.
11:9 And Joshua did unto them as the LORD
bade him: he houghed their
horses, and burnt their chariots with fire.
11:10 And Joshua at that time turned back,
and took Hazor, and smote
the king thereof with the sword: for Hazor
beforetime was the head of
all those kingdoms.
11:11 And they smote all the souls that were
therein with the edge of
the sword, utterly destroying them: there
was not any left to breathe:
and he burnt Hazor with fire.
11:12 And all the cities of those kings, and
all the kings of them,
did Joshua take, and smote them with the
edge of the sword, and he
utterly destroyed them, as Moses the servant
of the LORD commanded.
11:13 But as for the cities that stood still
in their strength, Israel
burned none of them, save Hazor only; that
did Joshua burn.
11:14 And all the spoil of these cities, and
the cattle, the children
of Israel took for a prey unto themselves;
but every man they smote
with the edge of the sword, until they had
destroyed them, neither
left they any to breathe.
11:15 As the LORD commanded Moses his
servant, so did Moses command
Joshua, and so did Joshua; he left nothing
undone of all that the LORD
commanded Moses.
11:16 So Joshua took all that land, the
hills, and all the south
country, and all the land of Goshen, and the
valley, and the plain,
and the mountain of Israel, and the valley
of the same; 11:17 Even
from the mount Halak, that goeth up to Seir,
even unto Baalgad in the
valley of Lebanon under mount Hermon: and
all their kings he took, and
smote them, and slew them.
11:18 Joshua made war a long time with all
those kings.
11:19 There was not a city that made peace
with the children of
Israel, save the Hivites the inhabitants of
Gibeon: all other they
took in battle.
11:20 For it was of the LORD to harden their
hearts, that they should
come against Israel in battle, that he might
destroy them utterly, and
that they might have no favour, but that he
might destroy them, as the
LORD commanded Moses.
11:21 And at that time came Joshua, and cut
off the Anakims from the
mountains, from Hebron, from Debir, from
Anab, and from all the
mountains of Judah, and from all the
mountains of Israel: Joshua
destroyed them utterly with their cities.
11:22 There was none of the Anakims left in
the land of the children
of Israel: only in Gaza, in Gath, and in
Ashdod, there remained.
11:23 So Joshua took the whole land,
according to all that the LORD
said unto Moses; and Joshua gave it for an
inheritance unto Israel
according to their divisions by their
tribes. And the land rested from
war.
12:1 Now these are the kings of the land,
which the children of Israel
smote, and possessed their land on the other
side Jordan toward the
rising of the sun, from the river Arnon unto
mount Hermon, and all the
plain on the east: 12:2 Sihon king of the
Amorites, who dwelt in
Heshbon, and ruled from Aroer, which is upon
the bank of the river
Arnon, and from the middle of the river, and
from half Gilead, even
unto the river Jabbok, which is the border
of the children of Ammon;
12:3 And from the plain to the sea of
Chinneroth on the east, and unto
the sea of the plain, even the salt sea on
the east, the way to
Bethjeshimoth; and from the south, under
Ashdothpisgah: 12:4 And the
coast of Og king of Bashan, which was of the
remnant of the giants,
that dwelt at Ashtaroth and at Edrei, 12:5
And reigned in mount
Hermon, and in Salcah, and in all Bashan,
unto the border of the
Geshurites and the Maachathites, and half
Gilead, the border of Sihon
king of Heshbon.
12:6 Them did Moses the servant of the LORD
and the children of Israel
smite: and Moses the servant of the LORD
gave it for a possession unto
the Reubenites, and the Gadites, and the
half tribe of Manasseh.
12:7 And these are the kings of the country
which Joshua and the
children of Israel smote on this side Jordan
on the west, from Baalgad
in the valley of Lebanon even unto the mount
Halak, that goeth up to
Seir; which Joshua gave unto the tribes of
Israel for a possession
according to their divisions; 12:8 In the
mountains, and in the
valleys, and in the plains, and in the
springs, and in the wilderness,
and in the south country; the Hittites, the
Amorites, and the
Canaanites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and
the Jebusites: 12:9 The
king of Jericho, one; the king of Ai, which
is beside Bethel, one;
12:10 The king of Jerusalem, one; the king
of Hebron, one; 12:11 The
king of Jarmuth, one; the king of Lachish,
one; 12:12 The king of
Eglon, one; the king of Gezer, one; 12:13
The king of Debir, one; the
king of Geder, one; 12:14 The king of
Hormah, one; the king of Arad,
one; 12:15 The king of Libnah, one; the king
of Adullam, one; 12:16
The king of Makkedah, one; the king of
Bethel, one; 12:17 The king of
Tappuah, one; the king of Hepher, one; 12:18
The king of Aphek, one;
the king of Lasharon, one; 12:19 The king of
Madon, one; the king of
Hazor, one; 12:20 The king of Shimronmeron,
one; the king of Achshaph,
one; 12:21 The king of Taanach, one; the
king of Megiddo, one; 12:22
The king of Kedesh, one; the king of Jokneam
of Carmel, one; 12:23 The
king of Dor in the coast of Dor, one; the
king of the nations of
Gilgal, one; 12:24 The king of Tirzah, one:
all the kings thirty and
one.
13:1 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.
13:2 This is the land that yet remaineth:
all the borders of the
Philistines, and all Geshuri, 13:3 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: 13:4 From the south, all the
land of the Canaanites, and
Mearah that is beside the Sidonians unto
Aphek, to the borders of the
Amorites: 13:5 And the land of the Giblites,
and all Lebanon, toward
the sunrising, from Baalgad under mount
Hermon unto the entering into
Hamath.
13:6 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.
13:7 Now therefore divide this land for an
inheritance unto the nine
tribes, and the half tribe of Manasseh, 13:8
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; 13:9 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; 13:10 And all the cities
of Sihon king of the
Amorites, which reigned in Heshbon, unto the
border of the children of
Ammon; 13:11 And Gilead, and the border of
the Geshurites and
Maachathites, and all mount Hermon, and all
Bashan unto Salcah; 13:12
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.
13:13 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.
13:14 Only unto the tribes 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.
13:15 And Moses gave unto the tribe of the
children of Reuben
inheritance according to their families.
13:16 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; 13:17 Heshbon, and all her
cities that are in the
plain; Dibon, and Bamothbaal, and
Bethbaalmeon, 13:18 And Jahaza, and
Kedemoth, and Mephaath, 13:19 And
Kirjathaim, and Sibmah, and
Zarethshahar in the mount of the valley,
13:20 And Bethpeor, and
Ashdothpisgah, and Bethjeshimoth, 13:21 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.
13:22 Balaam also the son of Beor, the
soothsayer, did the children of
Israel slay with the sword among them that
were slain by them.
13:23 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.
13:24 And Moses gave inheritance unto the
tribe of Gad, even unto the
children of Gad according to their families.
13:25 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; 13:26 And from Heshbon unto
Ramathmizpeh, and Betonim; and
from Mahanaim unto the border of Debir;
13:27 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.
13:28 This is the inheritance of the
children of Gad after their
families, the cities, and their villages.
13:29 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.
13:30 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: 13:31 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.
13:32 These are the countries which Moses
did distribute for
inheritance in the plains of Moab, on the
other side Jordan, by
Jericho, eastward.
13:33 But unto the tribe of Levi Moses gave
not any inheritance: the
LORD God of Israel was their inheritance, as
he said unto them.
14:1 And these are the countries which the
children of Israel
inherited in the land of Canaan, 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.
14:2 By lot was their inheritance, as the
LORD commanded by the hand
of Moses, for the nine tribes, and for the
half tribe.
14:3 For Moses had given the inheritance of
two tribes and an half
tribe on the other side Jordan: but unto the
Levites he gave none
inheritance among them.
14:4 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.
14:5 As the LORD commanded Moses, so the
children of Israel did, and
they divided the land.
14:6 Then 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 the man
of God concerning me and
thee in Kadeshbarnea.
14:7 Forty years old was I when Moses the
servant of the LORD sent me
from Kadeshbarnea to espy out the land; and
I brought him word again
as it was in mine heart.
14:8 Nevertheless my brethren that went up
with me made the heart of
the people melt: but I wholly followed the
LORD my God.
14:9 And Moses sware on that day, saying,
Surely the land whereon thy
feet have trodden shall be thine
inheritance, and thy children's for
ever, because thou hast wholly followed the
LORD my God.
14:10 And now, behold, the LORD hath kept me
alive, as he said, these
forty and five years, even since the LORD
spake this word unto Moses,
while the children of Israel wandered in the
wilderness: and now, lo,
I am this day fourscore and five years old.
14:11 As yet I am as strong this day as I
was in the day that Moses
sent me: as my strength was then, even so is
my strength now, for war,
both to go out, and to come in.
14:12 Now therefore give me this mountain,
whereof the LORD spake in
that day; for thou heardest in that day how
the Anakims were there,
and that the cities were great and fenced:
if so be the LORD will be
with me, then I shall be able to drive them
out, as the LORD said.
14:13 And Joshua blessed him, and gave unto
Caleb the son of Jephunneh
Hebron for an inheritance.
14:14 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.
14:15 And the name of Hebron before was
Kirjatharba; which Arba was a
great man among the Anakims. And the land
had rest from war.
15:1 This then was the lot of the tribe of
the children of Judah by
their families; even to the border of Edom
the wilderness of Zin
southward was the uttermost part of the
south coast.
15:2 And their south border was from the
shore of the salt sea, from
the bay that looketh southward: 15:3 And it
went out to the south side
to Maalehacrabbim, and passed along to Zin,
and ascended up on the
south side unto Kadeshbarnea, and passed
along to Hezron, and went up
to Adar, and fetched a compass to Karkaa:
15:4 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.
15:5 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: 15:6 And the
border went up to
Bethhogla, and passed along by the north of
Betharabah; and the border
went up to the stone of Bohan the son of
Reuben: 15:7 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 Enshemesh, and the goings out
thereof were at Enrogel: 15:8
And the border went up by the valley of the
son of Hinnom unto the
south side of the Jebusite; 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:
15:9 And the border was drawn from the top
of the hill unto the
fountain of the water of Nephtoah, and went
out to the cities of mount
Ephron; and the border was drawn to Baalah,
which is Kirjathjearim:
15:10 And the border compassed from Baalah
westward unto mount Seir,
and passed along unto the side of mount
Jearim, which is Chesalon, on
the north side, and went down to
Bethshemesh, and passed on to Timnah:
15:11 And the border went out unto the side
of Ekron northward: and
the border was drawn to Shicron, and passed
along to mount Baalah, and
went out unto Jabneel; and the goings out of
the border were at the
sea.
15:12 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.
15:13 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.
15:14 And Caleb drove thence the three sons
of Anak, Sheshai, and
Ahiman, and Talmai, the children of Anak.
15:15 And he went up thence to the
inhabitants of Debir: and the name
of Debir before was Kirjathsepher.
15:16 And Caleb said, He that smiteth
Kirjathsepher, and taketh it, to
him will I give Achsah my daughter to wife.
15:17 And Othniel the son of Kenaz, the
brother of Caleb, took it: and
he gave him Achsah his daughter to wife.
15:18 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? 15:19 Who
answered, Give me a blessing;
for thou hast given me a south land; give me
also springs of water.
And he gave her the upper springs, and the
nether springs.
15:20 This is the inheritance of the tribe
of the children of Judah
according to their families.
15:21 And the uttermost cities of the tribe
of the children of Judah
toward the coast of Edom southward were
Kabzeel, and Eder, and Jagur,

and Nezib, 15:44 And Keilah,
and Achzib, and Mareshah; nine cities with
their villages: 15:45
Ekron, with her towns and her villages:
15:46 From Ekron even unto the
sea, all that lay near Ashdod, with their
villages: 15:47 Ashdod with
her towns and her villages, Gaza with her
towns and her villages, unto
the river of Egypt, and the great sea, and
the border thereof: 15:48
And in the mountains, Shamir, and Jattir,
and Socoh, 15:49 And Dannah,
and Kirjathsannah, which is Debir, 15:50 And

Secacah, 15:62 And Nibshan,
and the city of Salt, and Engedi; six cities
with their villages.
15:63 As for the Jebusites the inhabitants
of Jerusalem, the children
of Judah could not drive them out; but the
Jebusites dwell with the
children of Judah at Jerusalem unto this
day.
16:1 And the lot of the children of Joseph
fell from Jordan by
Jericho, unto the water of Jericho on the
east, to the wilderness that
goeth up from Jericho throughout mount
Bethel, 16:2 And goeth out from
Bethel to Luz, and passeth along unto the
borders of Archi to Ataroth,
16:3 And goeth down westward to the coast of
Japhleti, unto the coast
of Bethhoron the nether, and to Gezer; and
the goings out thereof are
at the sea.
16:4 So the children of Joseph, Manasseh and
Ephraim, took their
inheritance.
16:5 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 Atarothaddar, unto Bethhoron the
upper; 16:6 And the border
went out toward the sea to Michmethah on the
north side; and the
border went about eastward unto
Taanathshiloh, and passed by it on the
east to Janohah; 16:7 And it went down from
Janohah to Ataroth, and to
Naarath, and came to Jericho, and went out
at Jordan.
16:8 The border went out from Tappuah
westward unto the river Kanah;
and the goings out thereof were at the sea.
This is the inheritance of
the tribe of the children of Ephraim by
their families.
16:9 And the separate cities for the
children of Ephraim were among
the inheritance of the children of Manasseh,
all the cities with their
villages.
16:10 And they drave not out the Canaanites
that dwelt in Gezer: but
the Canaanites dwell among the Ephraimites
unto this day, and serve
under tribute.
17:1 There was also a lot for the tribe of
Manasseh; for he was the
firstborn of Joseph; to wit, for Machir the
firstborn of Manasseh, the
father of Gilead: because he was a man of
war, therefore he had Gilead
and Bashan.
17:2 There was also a lot for the rest of
the children of Manasseh by
their families; for the children of Abiezer,
and for the children of
Helek, and for the children of Asriel, and
for the children of
Shechem, and for the children of Hepher, and
for the children of
Shemida: these were the male children of
Manasseh the son of Joseph by
their families.
17:3 But Zelophehad, the son of Hepher, the
son of Gilead, the son of
Machir, the son of Manasseh, had no sons,
but daughters: and these are
the names of his daughters, Mahlah, and
Noah, Hoglah, Milcah, and
Tirzah.
17:4 And they came near before Eleazar the
priest, and before Joshua
the son of Nun, and before the princes,
saying, The LORD commanded
Moses to give us an inheritance among our
brethren. Therefore
according to the commandment of the LORD he
gave them an inheritance
among the brethren of their father.
17:5 And there fell ten portions to
Manasseh, beside the land of
Gilead and Bashan, which were on the other
side Jordan; 17:6 Because
the daughters of Manasseh had an inheritance
among his sons: and the
rest of Manasseh's sons had the land of
Gilead.
17:7 And the coast of Manasseh was from
Asher to Michmethah, that
lieth before Shechem; and the border went
along on the right hand unto
the inhabitants of Entappuah.
17:8 Now Manasseh had the land of Tappuah:
but Tappuah on the border
of Manasseh belonged to the children of
Ephraim; 17:9 And the coast
descended unto the river Kanah, southward of
the river: these cities
of Ephraim are among the cities of Manasseh:
the coast of Manasseh
also was on the north side of the river, and
the outgoings of it were
at the sea: 17:10 Southward it was
Ephraim's, and northward it was
Manasseh's, and the sea is his border; and
they met together in Asher
on the north, and in Issachar on the east.
17:11 And Manasseh had in Issachar and in
Asher Bethshean and her
towns, and Ibleam and her towns, and the
inhabitants of Dor and her
towns, and the inhabitants of Endor and her
towns, and the inhabitants
of Taanach and her towns, and the
inhabitants of Megiddo and her
towns, even three countries.
17:12 Yet the children of Manasseh could not
drive out the inhabitants
of those cities; but the Canaanites would
dwell in that land.
17:13 Yet it came to pass, when the children
of Israel were waxen
strong, that they put the Canaanites to
tribute, but did not utterly
drive them out.
17:14 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
great people, forasmuch as the LORD hath
blessed me hitherto? 17:15
And Joshua answered them, If thou be a great
people, then get thee up
to the wood country, and cut down for
thyself there in the land of the
Perizzites and of the giants, if mount
Ephraim be too narrow for thee.
17:16 And the children of Joseph said, The
hill is not enough for us:
and all the Canaanites that dwell in the
land of the valley have
chariots of iron, both they who are of
Bethshean and her towns, and
they who are of the valley of Jezreel.
17:17 And Joshua spake unto the house of
Joseph, even to Ephraim and
to Manasseh, saying, Thou art a great
people, and hast great power:
thou shalt not have one lot only: 17:18 But
the mountain shall be
thine; for it is a wood, and thou shalt cut
it down: and the outgoings
of it shall be thine: for thou shalt drive
out the Canaanites, though
they have iron chariots, and though they be
strong.
18:1 And the whole congregation of the
children of Israel assembled
together at Shiloh, and set up the
tabernacle of the congregation
there. And the land was subdued before them.
18:2 And there remained among the children
of Israel seven tribes,
which had not yet received their
inheritance.
18:3 And Joshua said unto the children of
Israel, How long are ye
slack to go to possess the land, which the
LORD God of your fathers
hath given you? 18:4 Give out from among you
three men for each
tribe: and I will send them, and they shall
rise, and go through the
land, and describe it according to the
inheritance of them; and they
shall come again to me.
18:5 And they shall divide it into seven
parts: Judah shall abide in
their coast on the south, and the house of
Joseph shall abide in their
coasts on the north.
18:6 Ye shall therefore describe the land
into seven parts, and bring
the description hither to me, that I may
cast lots for you here before
the LORD our God.
18:7 But the Levites have no part among you;
for the priesthood of the
LORD is their inheritance: and Gad, and
Reuben, and half the tribe of
Manasseh, have received their inheritance
beyond Jordan on the east,
which Moses the servant of the LORD gave
them.
18:8 And the men arose, and went away: and
Joshua charged them that
went to describe the land, saying, Go and
walk through the land, and
describe it, and come again to me, that I
may here cast lots for you
before the LORD in Shiloh.
18:9 And the men went and passed through the
land, and described it by
cities into seven parts in a book, and came
again to Joshua to the
host at Shiloh.
18:10 And Joshua cast lots for them in
Shiloh before the LORD: and
there Joshua divided the land unto the
children of Israel according to
their divisions.
18:11 And the lot of the tribe of the
children of Benjamin came up
according to their families: and the coast
of their lot came forth
between the children of Judah and the
children of Joseph.
18:12 And their border on the north side was
from Jordan; and the
border went up to the side of Jericho on the
north side, and went up
through the mountains westward; and the
goings out thereof were at the
wilderness of Bethaven.
18:13 And the border went over from thence
toward Luz, to the side of
Luz, which is Bethel, southward; and the
border descended to
Atarothadar, near the hill that lieth on the
south side of the nether
Bethhoron.
18:14 And the border was drawn thence, and
compassed the corner of the
sea southward, from the hill that lieth
before Bethhoron southward;
and the goings out thereof were at
Kirjathbaal, which is
Kirjathjearim, a city of the children of
Judah: this was the west
quarter.
18:15 And the south quarter was from the end
of Kirjathjearim, and the
border went out on the west, and went out to
the well of waters of
Nephtoah: 18:16 And the border came down to
the end of the mountain
that lieth before the valley of the son of
Hinnom, and which is in the
valley of the giants on the north, and
descended to the valley of
Hinnom, to the side of Jebusi on the south,
and descended to Enrogel,
18:17 And was drawn from the north, and went
forth to Enshemesh, and
went forth toward Geliloth, which is over
against the going up of
Adummim, and descended to the stone of Bohan
the son of Reuben, 18:18
And passed along toward the side over
against Arabah northward, and
went down unto Arabah: 18:19 And the border
passed along to the side
of Bethhoglah northward: and the outgoings
of the border were at the
north bay of the salt sea at the south end
of Jordan: this was the
south coast.
18:20 And Jordan was the border of it on the
east side. This was the
inheritance of the children of Benjamin, by
the coasts thereof round
about, according to their families.
18:21 Now the cities of the tribe of the
children of Benjamin
according to their families were Jericho,
and Bethhoglah, and the
valley of Keziz, 18:22 And Betharabah, and
Zemaraim, and Bethel, 18:23
And Avim, and Pharah, and Ophrah, 18:24 And
Chepharhaammonai, and
Ophni, and Gaba; twelve cities with their
villages: 18:25 Gibeon, and
Ramah, and Beeroth, 18:26 And Mizpeh, and
Chephirah, and Mozah, 18:27
And Rekem, and Irpeel, and Taralah, 18:28
And Zelah, Eleph, and
Jebusi, which is Jerusalem, Gibeath, and
Kirjath; fourteen cities with
their villages. This is the inheritance of
the children of Benjamin
according to their families.
19:1 And the second lot came forth to
Simeon, even for the tribe of
the children of Simeon according to their
families: and their
inheritance was within the inheritance of
the children of Judah.
19:2 And they had in their inheritance
Beersheba, and Sheba, and
Moladah, 19:3 And Hazarshual, and Balah, and
Azem, 19:4 And Eltolad,
and Bethul, and Hormah, 19:5 And Ziklag, and
Bethmarcaboth, and
Hazarsusah, 19:6 And Bethlebaoth, and
Sharuhen; thirteen cities and
their villages: 19:7 Ain, Remmon, and Ether,
and Ashan; four cities
and their villages: 19:8 And all the
villages that were round about
these cities to Baalathbeer, Ramath of the
south. This is the
inheritance of the tribe of the children of
Simeon according to their
families.
19:9 Out of the portion of the children of
Judah was the inheritance
of the children of Simeon: for the part of
the children of Judah was
too much for them: therefore the children of
Simeon had their
inheritance within the inheritance of them.
19:10 And the third lot came up for the
children of Zebulun according
to their families: and the border of their
inheritance was unto Sarid:
19:11 And their border went up toward the
sea, and Maralah, and
reached to Dabbasheth, and reached to the
river that is before
Jokneam; 19:12 And turned from Sarid
eastward toward the sunrising
unto the border of Chislothtabor, and then
goeth out to Daberath, and
goeth up to Japhia, 19:13 And from thence
passeth on along on the east
to Gittahhepher, to Ittahkazin, and goeth
out to Remmonmethoar to
Neah; 19:14 And the border compasseth it on
the north side to
Hannathon: and the outgoings thereof are in
the valley of Jiphthahel:
19:15 And Kattath, and Nahallal, and
Shimron, and Idalah, and
Bethlehem: twelve cities with their
villages.
19:16 This is the inheritance of the
children of Zebulun according to
their families, these cities with their
villages.
19:17 And the fourth lot came out to
Issachar, for the children of
Issachar according to their families.
19:18 And their border was toward Jezreel,
and Chesulloth, and Shunem,
19:19 And Haphraim, and Shihon, and
Anaharath, 19:20 And Rabbith, and
Kishion, and Abez, 19:21 And Remeth, and
Engannim, and Enhaddah, and
Bethpazzez; 19:22 And the coast reacheth to
Tabor, and Shahazimah, and
Bethshemesh; and the outgoings of their
border were at Jordan: sixteen
cities with their villages.
19:23 This is the inheritance of the tribe
of the children of Issachar
according to their families, the cities and
their villages.
19:24 And the fifth lot came out for the
tribe of the children of
Asher according to their families.
19:25 And their border was Helkath, and
Hali, and Beten, and Achshaph,
19:26 And Alammelech, and Amad, and Misheal;
and reacheth to Carmel
westward, and to Shihorlibnath; 19:27 And
turneth toward the sunrising
to Bethdagon, and reacheth to Zebulun, and
to the valley of Jiphthahel
toward the north side of Bethemek, and
Neiel, and goeth out to Cabul
on the left hand, 19:28 And Hebron, and
Rehob, and Hammon, and Kanah,
even unto great Zidon; 19:29 And then the
coast turneth to Ramah, and
to the strong city Tyre; and the coast
turneth to Hosah; and the
outgoings thereof are at the sea from the
coast to Achzib: 19:30 Ummah
also, and Aphek, and Rehob: twenty and two
cities with their villages.
19:31 This is the inheritance of the tribe
of the children of Asher
according to their families, these cities
with their villages.
19:32 The sixth lot came out to the children
of Naphtali, even for the
children of Naphtali according to their
families.
19:33 And their coast was from Heleph, from
Allon to Zaanannim, and
Adami, Nekeb, and Jabneel, unto Lakum; and
the outgoings thereof were
at Jordan: 19:34 And then the coast turneth
westward to Aznothtabor,
and goeth out from thence to Hukkok, and
reacheth to Zebulun on the
south side, and reacheth to Asher on the
west side, and to Judah upon
Jordan toward the sunrising.
19:35 And the fenced cities are Ziddim, Zer,
and Hammath, Rakkath, and
Chinnereth, 19:36 And Adamah, and Ramah, and
Hazor, 19:37 And Kedesh,
and Edrei, and Enhazor, 19:38 And Iron, and
Migdalel, Horem, and
Bethanath, and Bethshemesh; nineteen cities
with their villages.
19:39 This is the inheritance of the tribe
of the children of Naphtali
according to their families, the cities and
their villages.
19:40 And the seventh lot came out for the
tribe of the children of
Dan according to their families.
19:41 And the coast of their inheritance was
Zorah, and Eshtaol, and
Irshemesh, 19:42 And Shaalabbin, and Ajalon,
and Jethlah, 19:43 And
Elon, and Thimnathah, and Ekron, 19:44 And
Eltekeh, and Gibbethon, and
Baalath, 19:45 And Jehud, and Beneberak, and
Gathrimmon, 19:46 And
Mejarkon, and Rakkon, with the border before
Japho.
19:47 And the coast of the children of Dan
went out too little for
them: therefore the children of Dan went up
to fight against Leshem,
and took it, and smote it with the edge of
the sword, and possessed
it, and dwelt therein, and called Leshem,
Dan, after the name of Dan
their father.
19:48 This is the inheritance of the tribe
of the children of Dan
according to their families, these cities
with their villages.
19:49 When they had made an end of dividing
the land for inheritance
by their coasts, the children of Israel gave
an inheritance to Joshua
the son of Nun among them: 19:50 According
to the word of the LORD
they gave him the city which he asked, even
Timnathserah in mount
Ephraim: and he built the city, and dwelt
therein.
19:51 These are the inheritances, which
Eleazar the priest, and Joshua
the son of Nun, and the heads of the fathers
of the tribes of the
children of Israel, divided for an
inheritance by lot in Shiloh before
the LORD, at the door of the tabernacle of
the congregation. So they
made an end of dividing the country. |
