Joshua 13:1-10

1 Iosue senex provectaeque aetatis erat et dixit Dominus ad eum senuisti et longevus es terraque latissima derelicta est quae necdum est sorte divisa

2 omnis videlicet Galilea Philisthim et universa Gesuri

3 a fluvio turbido qui inrigat Aegyptum usque ad terminos Accaron contra aquilonem terra Chanaan quae in quinque regulos Philisthim dividitur Gazeos Azotios Ascalonitas Gettheos et Accaronitas

4 ad meridiem vero sunt Evei omnis terra Chanaan et Maara Sidoniorum usque Afeca et terminos Amorrei

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

Joshua 13:1-10 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.
