يَشُوع 13

١ 1 وَشَاخَ يَشُوعُ. تَقَدَّمَ فِي ٱلْأَيَّامِ. فَقَالَ لَهُ ٱلرَّبُّ: «أَنْتَ قَدْ شِخْتَ. تَقَدَّمْتَ فِي ٱلْأَيَّامِ. وَقَدْ بَقِيَتْ أَرْضٌ كَثِيرَةٌ جِدًّا لِلِٱمْتِلَاكِ.

Now Joshua was very old when Yahweh said to him, “You are very old, but there is still very much land to capture.

٢ 2 هَذِهِ هِيَ ٱلْأَرْضُ ٱلْبَاقِيَةُ: كُلُّ دَائِرَةِ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ، وَكُلُّ ٱلْجَشُورِيِّينَ

This is the land that still remains: All the regions of the Philistines, and all those of the Geshurites,

٣ 3 مِنَ ٱلشِّيحُورِ ٱلَّذِي هُوَ أَمَامَ مِصْرَ إِلَى تُخْمِ عَقْرُونَ شِمَالًا تُحْسَبُ لِلْكَنْعَانِيِّينَ أَقْطَابِ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ ٱلْخَمْسَةِ: ٱلْغَزِّيِّ وَٱلْأَشْدُودِيِّ وَٱلْأَشْقَلُونِيِّ وَٱلْجَتِّيِّ وَٱلْعَقْرُونِيِّ، وَٱلْعَوِيِّينَ.

from Shihor, which is east of Egypt, and northward to the border of Ekron, which is considered property of the Canaanites; the five rulers of the Philistines, those of Gaza, Ashdod, Ashkelon, Gath, and Ekron—the territory of the Avvites.

٤ 4 مِنَ ٱلتَّيْمَنِ كُلُّ أَرْضِ ٱلْكَنْعَانِيِّينَ، وَمَغَارَةُ ٱلَّتِي لِلصِّيدُونِيِّينَ إِلَى أَفِيقَ إِلَى تُخْمِ ٱلْأَمُورِيِّينَ.

In the south (the territory of the Avvites); all the lands of the Canaanites, from Arah that belongs to the Sidonians, as far as Aphek which is on the border of the Amorites;

٥ 5 وَأَرْضُ ٱلْجِبْلِيِّينَ، وَكُلُّ لُبْنَانَ نَحْوَ شُرُوقِ ٱلشَّمْسِ، مِنْ بَعْلِ جَادَ تَحْتَ جَبَلِ حَرْمُونَ إِلَى مَدْخَلِ حَمَاةَ.

the land of the Gebalites, all of Lebanon toward the east, from Baal Gad below Mount Hermon to Lebo Hamath.

٦ 6 جَمِيعُ سُكَّانِ ٱلْجَبَلِ مِنْ لُبْنَانَ إِلَى مِسْرَفُوتِ مَايِمَ، جَمِيعُ ٱلصِّيدُونِيِّينَ. أَنَا أَطْرُدُهُمْ مِنْ أَمَامِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ. إِنَّمَا ٱقْسِمْهَا بِٱلْقُرْعَةِ لإِسْرَائِيلَ مُلْكًا كَمَا أَمَرْتُكَ.

Also, all the inhabitants of the hill country from Lebanon as far as Misrephoth Maim, including all the people of Sidon. I will drive them out before the army of Israel. Be sure to assign the land to Israel as an inheritance, as I commanded you.

٧ 7 وَٱلْآنَ ٱقْسِمْ هَذِهِ ٱلْأَرْضَ مُلْكًا لِلتِّسْعَةِ ٱلْأَسْبَاطِ وَنِصْفِ سِبْطِ مَنَسَّى».

Divide this land as an inheritance to the nine tribes and to the half tribe of Manasseh.”

٨ 8 مَعَهُمْ أَخَذَ ٱلرَّأُوبَيْنِيُّونَ وَٱلْجَادِيُّونَ مُلْكَهُمْ ٱلَّذِي أَعْطَاهُمْ مُوسَى فِي عَبْرِ ٱلْأُرْدُنِّ نَحْوَ ٱلشُّرُوقِ، كَمَا أَعْطَاهُمْ مُوسَى عَبْدُ ٱلرَّبِّ.

With the other half of the tribe of Manasseh, the Reubenites and the Gadites had received their inheritance that Moses gave them on the east side of the Jordan,

٩ 9 مِنْ عَرُوعِيرَ ٱلَّتِي عَلَى حَافَةِ وَادِي أَرْنُونَ وَٱلْمَدِينَةِ ٱلَّتِي فِي وَسَطِ ٱلْوَادِي، وَكُلَّ سَهْلِ مِيَدَبَا إِلَى دِيبُونَ،

from Aroer, which is on the edge of the Arnon river gorge (including the city that is in the middle of the gorge), to all the plateau of Medeba as far as Dibon;

١٠ 10 وَجَمِيعَ مُدُنِ سِيحُونَ مَلِكِ ٱلْأَمُورِيِّينَ ٱلَّذِي مَلَكَ فِي حَشْبُونَ إِلَى تُخْمِ بَنِي عَمُّونَ

all the cities of Sihon, king of the Amorites, who ruled in Heshbon, to the border of the Ammonites;

١١ 11 وَجِلْعَادَ وَتُخُومَ ٱلْجَشُورِيِّينَ وَٱلْمَعْكِيِّينَ، وَكُلَّ جَبَلِ حَرْمُونَ، وَكُلَّ بَاشَانَ إِلَى سَلْخَةَ،

Gilead, and the region of the Geshurites and Maacathites, all of Mount Hermon, all Bashan to Salekah;

١٢ 12 كُلَّ مَمْلَكَةِ عُوجٍ فِي بَاشَانَ ٱلَّذِي مَلَكَ فِي عَشْتَارُوثَ وَفِي إِذْرَعِيَ. هُوَ بَقِيَ مِنْ بَقِيَّةِ ٱلرَّفَائِيِّينَ، وَضَرَبَهُمْ مُوسَى وَطَرَدَهُمْ.

all the kingdom of Og in Bashan, who reigned in Ashtaroth and Edrei—these are what was left of the remnant of the Rephaim—Moses struck them and drove them out.

١٣ 13 وَلَمْ يَطْرُدْ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ ٱلْجَشُورِيِّينَ وَٱلْمَعْكِيِّينَ، فَسَكَنَ ٱلْجَشُورِيُّ وَٱلْمَعْكِيُّ فِي وَسَطِ إِسْرَائِيلَ إِلَى هَذَا ٱلْيَوْمِ.

But the people of Israel did not drive out the Geshurites or the Maacathites. Instead, Geshur and Maacath live among Israel to this day.

١٤ 14 لَكِنْ لِسِبْطِ لَاوِي لَمْ يُعْطِ نَصِيبًا. وَقَائِدُ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِ إِسْرَائِيلَ هِيَ نَصِيبُهُ كَمَا كَلَّمَهُ.

To the tribe of Levi alone Moses gave no inheritance. The offerings of Yahweh, the God of Israel, made by fire, are their inheritance, as God said to Moses.

١٥ 15 وَأَعْطَى مُوسَى سِبْطَ بَنِي رَأُوبَيْنَ حَسَبَ عَشَائِرِهِمْ:

Moses gave an inheritance to the tribe of Reuben, clan by clan.

١٦ 16 فَكَانَ تُخْمُهُمْ مِنْ عَرُوعِيرَ ٱلَّتِي عَلَى حَافَةِ وَادِي أَرْنُونَ وَٱلْمَدِينَةِ ٱلَّتِي فِي وَسَطِ ٱلْوَادِي، وَكُلَّ ٱلسَّهْلِ عِنْدَ مَيْدَبَا.

Their territory was from Aroer, on the edge of the Arnon River gorge, and the city that is in the middle of the valley, and all the plateau by Medeba.

١٧ 17 حَشْبُونَ وَجَمِيعَ مُدُنِهَا ٱلَّتِي فِي ٱلسَّهْلِ، وَدِيبُونَ وَبَامُوتَ بَعْلٍ وَبَيْتَ بَعْلِ مَعُونَ،

Reuben also received Heshbon and all its cities that are in the plateau, Dibon, and Bamoth Baal, and Beth Baal Meon,

١٨ 18 وَيَهْصَةَ وَقَدِيمُوتَ وَمَيْفَعَةَ،

and Jahaz, and Kedemoth, and Mephaath,

١٩ 19 وَقَرْيَتَايِمَ وَسِبْمَةَ وَصَارَثَ ٱلشَّحْرِ فِي جَبَلِ ٱلْوَادِي،

and Kiriathaim, and Sibmah, and Zereth Shahar on the hill of the valley.

٢٠ 20 وَبَيْتَ فَغُورَ وَسُفُوحَ ٱلْفِسْجَةِ وَبَيْتَ يَشِيمُوتَ

Reuben also received Beth Peor, the slopes of Pisgah, Beth Jeshimoth,

٢١ 21 وَكُلَّ مُدُنِ ٱلسَّهْلِ، وَكُلَّ مَمْلَكَةِ سِيحُونَ مَلِكِ ٱلْأَمُورِيِّينَ ٱلَّذِي مَلَكَ فِي حَشْبُونَ، ٱلَّذِي ضَرَبَهُ مُوسَى مَعَ رُؤَسَاءِ مِدْيَانَ: أَوِىَ وَرَاقَمَ وَصُورَ وَحُورَ وَرَابَعَ، أُمَرَاءِ سِيحُونَ سَاكِنِي ٱلْأَرْضِ.

all the cities of the plateau, and all the kingdom of Sihon king of the Amorites, who had reigned in Heshbon, whom Moses had defeated together with the leaders of Midian, Evi, Rekem, Zur, Hur and Reba, the princes of Sihon, who had lived in the land.

٢٢ 22 وَبَلْعَامُ بْنُ بَعُورَ ٱلْعَرَّافُ قَتَلَهُ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ بِٱلسَّيْفِ مَعَ قَتْلَاهُمْ.

The people of Israel also killed with the sword Balaam son of Beor, who practiced divination, among the rest of those they had killed.

٢٣ 23 وَكَانَ تُخْمُ بَنِي رَأُوبَيْنَ ٱلْأُرْدُنَّ وَتُخُومَهُ. هَذَا نَصِيبُ بَنِي رَأُوبَيْنَ حَسَبَ عَشَائِرِهِمْ، ٱلْمُدُنُ وَضِيَاعُهَا.

The border of the tribe of Reuben is the Jordan River; this is their boundary. This was the inheritance of the tribe of Reuben, given to each of their clans, with their cities and villages.

٢٤ 24 وَأَعْطَى مُوسَى لِسِبْطِ جَادَ، بَنِي جَادَ حَسَبَ عَشَائِرِهِمْ:

This is what Moses gave to the tribe of Gad, clan by clan:

٢٥ 25 فَكَانَ تُخْمُهُمْ يَعَزِيرَ وَكُلَّ مُدُنِ جِلْعَادَ وَنِصْفَ أَرْضِ بَنِي عَمُّونَ إِلَى عَرُوعِيرَ ٱلَّتِي هِيَ أَمَامَ رَبَّةَ،

Their territory was Jazer, all the cities of Gilead and half the land of the Ammonites, to Aroer, which is east of Rabbah,

٢٦ 26 وَمِنْ حَشْبُونَ إِلَى رَامَةِ ٱلْمِصْفَاةِ وَبُطُونِيمَ، وَمِنْ مَحَنَايِمَ إِلَى تُخْمِ دَبِيرَ.

from Heshbon to Ramath Mizpah and Betonim, from Mahanaim to the territory of Debir.

٢٧ 27 وَفِي ٱلْوَادِي بَيْتَ هَارَامَ، وَبَيْتَ نِمْرَةَ، وَسُكُّوتَ، وَصَافُونَ بَقِيَّةَ مَمْلَكَةِ سِيحُونَ مَلِكِ حَشْبُونَ، ٱلْأُرْدُنَّ وَتُخُومَهُ إِلَى طَرَفِ بَحْرِ كِنَّرُوتَ فِي عَبْرِ ٱلْأُرْدُنِّ نَحْوَ ٱلشُّرُوقِ.

In the valley, Moses gave them Beth Haram, Beth Nimrah, Succoth, and Zaphon, the rest of the kingdom of Sihon king of Heshbon, with the Jordan as a border, to the lower end of the Sea of Kinnereth, eastward beyond the Jordan.

٢٨ 28 هَذَا نَصِيبُ بَنِي جَادَ حَسَبَ عَشَائِرِهِمِ، ٱلْمُدُنُ وَضِيَاعُهَا.

This is the inheritance of the tribe of Gad, clan by clan, with their cities and villages.

٢٩ 29 وَأَعْطَى مُوسَى لِنِصْفِ سِبْطِ مَنَسَّى، وَكَانَ لِنِصْفِ سِبْطِ بَنِي مَنَسَّى حَسَبَ عَشَائِرِهِمْ:

Moses gave an inheritance to the half tribe of Manasseh. It was assigned to the half tribe of the people of Manasseh, clan by clan.

٣٠ 30 وَكَانَ تُخْمُهُمْ مِنْ مَحَنَايِمَ، كُلَّ بَاشَانَ، كُلَّ مَمْلَكَةِ عُوجٍ مَلِكِ بَاشَانَ، وَكُلَّ حَوُّوثِ يَائِيرَ ٱلَّتِي فِي بَاشَانَ، سِتِّينَ مَدِينَةً.

Their territory was from Mahanaim, all Bashan, all the kingdom of Og king of Bashan, and all the towns of Jair, which are in Bashan, sixty cities;

٣١ 31 وَنِصْفُ جِلْعَادَ وَعَشْتَارُوثَ وَإِذْرَعِيَ مُدُنُ مَمْلَكَةِ عُوجٍ فِي بَاشَانَ لِبَنِي مَاكِيرَ بْنِ مَنَسَّى، لِنِصْفِ بَنِي مَاكِيرَ حَسَبَ عَشَائِرِهِمْ.

half of Gilead, and Ashtaroth and Edrei (the royal cities of Og in Bashan). These were assigned to the clan of Machir son of Manasseh—half of the people of Machir, clan by clan.

٣٢ 32 فَهَذِهِ هِيَ ٱلَّتِي قَسَمَهَا مُوسَى فِي عَرَبَاتِ مُوآبَ فِي عَبْرِ أُرْدُنِّ أَرِيحَا نَحْوَ ٱلشُّرُوقِ.

This is the inheritance that Moses assigned to them on the plains of Moab, beyond the Jordan east of Jericho.

٣٣ 33 وَأَمَّا سِبْطُ لَاوِي فَلَمْ يُعْطِهِ مُوسَى نَصِيبًا. ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ هُوَ نَصِيبُهُمْ كَمَا كَلَّمَهُمْ.

Moses did not give an inheritance to the tribe of Levi. Yahweh, the God of Israel, is their inheritance, just as he said to them.
