Land Still to Be Conquered
1 Now Joshua
1was 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
2to possess.
2
3This is the land that yet remains: all the
4regions of the Philistines, and all those of the Geshurites
3
(from the
5Shihor, which is east of Egypt, northward to the boundary of Ekron, it is counted as Canaanite;
6there are five rulers of the Philistines, those of Gaza, Ashdod, Ashkelon, Gath, and Ekron), and those of
7the Avvim,
4
in the south, all the land of the Canaanites, and Mearah that belongs to the Sidonians, to Aphek, to the boundary of
8the Amorites,
5
and the land of the
9Gebalites, and all Lebanon, toward the sunrise, from
10Baal-gad below Mount Hermon to
11Lebo-hamath,
6
all the inhabitants of the hill country from Lebanon to
12Misrephoth-maim, even all the Sidonians. I myself will drive
13them out from before the people of Israel. Only
14allot the land to Israel
15for an inheritance, as I have commanded you.
7
Now therefore
16divide this land for an inheritance to the nine tribes and half the tribe of Manasseh."
