13 Now the years had passed and Yehoshua had grown old, and Yahweh said to him, “You’re old now and there’s still a lot of land that needs to be captured. 2 This is the remaining land: all the territories of the Philistines, and all of the Geshurites, 3 from Shihor (east of Egypt) and as far as the border of Ekron to the north (it’s considered to be Canaanite), the five rulers of the Philistines (in Gaza, Ashdod, Ashkelon, Gat, and Ekron), and the Avvites. 4 In the south: all the land of the Canaanites, and a Mearah that belongs to the Sidonians, as far as Afek, as far as the border of the Amorites, 5 plus the land of the Gebalites, all Lebanon towards the east, from Baal-Gad below Mt. Hermon as far as Lebo-Hamath. 6 I myself will drive out all those who live in the hill country from Lebanon as far as Misrefot-Maim, and all the Sidonians. Make sure that it’s given to the Israelis as an inheritance, just as I instructed you.[ref] 7 All that land should be divided up as an inheritance for the nine tribes plus half of the half-tribe of Menashsheh.
