Joshua 13:5-15

5 eiusque confinia Libani quoque regio contra orientem a Baalgad sub monte Hermon donec ingrediaris Emath

6 omnium qui habitant in monte a Libano usque ad aquas Masrefoth universique Sidonii ego sum qui delebo eos a facie filiorum Israhel veniat ergo in parte hereditatis Israhel sicut praecepi tibi

7 et nunc divide terram in possessionem novem tribubus et dimidiae tribui Manasse

8 cum qua Ruben et Gad possederunt terram quam tradidit eis Moses famulus Domini trans fluenta Iordanis ad orientalem plagam

9 ab Aroer quae sita est in ripa torrentis Arnon et in vallis medio universaque campestria Medaba usque Dibon

10 et cunctas civitates Seon regis Amorrei qui regnavit in Esebon usque ad terminos filiorum Ammon

11 et Galaad ac terminum Gesuri et Machathi omnemque montem Hermon et universam Basan usque Saleca

12 omne regnum Og in Basan qui regnavit in Astharoth et Edraim ipse fuit de reliquiis Rafaim percussitque eos Moses atque delevit

13 nolueruntque disperdere filii Israhel Gesuri et Machathi et habitaverunt in medio Israhel usque in praesentem diem

14 tribui autem Levi non dedit possessionem sed sacrificia et victimae Domini Dei Israhel ipsa est eius hereditas sicut locutus est illi

15 dedit ergo Moses possessionem tribui filiorum Ruben iuxta cognationes suas

Joshua 13:5-15 Meaning and Commentary

\\INTRODUCTION JOSHUA 13\\

In this chapter Joshua is informed by the Lord, or put in mind, that
part of the land of Canaan remained unconquered, and which it was; and
is directed to divide the whole land among the nine tribes, and the
half tribe of Manasseh, Jos 13:1-9; and since the two tribes of Reuben
and Gad, and the other half tribe of Manasseh, had received their
inheritance on the other side Jordan, Jos 13:8; that is described in
general, Jos 13:9-14; and, then the particular portion of Reuben,
Jos 13:15-23; and of Gad, Jos 13:24-28; and of the half tribe of
Manasseh, Jos 13:29-33.
