Now Joshua was old and advanced in years;

and the LORD said to him,

"You are old and advanced in years,

and very much of the land still remains to be possessed.

This is the land that still remains:

all the regions of the Philistines,

and all those of the Geshurites

(from the Shihor, which is east of Egypt, northward to the boundary of Ekron,it is reckoned as Canaanite; there are five rulers of the Philistines, those of Gaza, Ashdod, Ashkelon, Gath, and Ekron),

and those of the Avvim,

in the south, all the land of the Canaanites,

and Mearah that belongs to the Sidonians,

to Aphek, to the boundary of the Amorites,

and the land of the Gebalites, and all Lebanon,

toward the east, from Baal-gad below Mount Hermon to Lebo-hamath,

all the inhabitants of the hill country from Lebanon to Misrephoth-maim,

even all the Sidonians.

I will myself drive them out from before the Israelites;

only allot the land to Israel for an inheritance, as I have commanded you.

Now therefore divide this land for an inheritance

to the nine tribes and the half-tribe of Manasseh."
