Josh 13:31 and half Gilead, and Ashtaroth, and Edrei, the cities of the kingdom of Og in Bashan, were for the children of Machir the son of Manasseh, even for the half of the children of Machir according to their families. Josh 13:32 These are the inheritances which Moses distributed in the plains of Moab, beyond the Jordan at Jericho, eastward. Josh 13:33 But unto the tribe of Levi Moses gave no inheritance: Jehovah, the God of Israel, is their inheritance, as he spake unto them. Josh 14:1 And these are the inheritances which the children of Israel took in the land of Canaan, which Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun, and the heads of the fathers’ houses of the tribes of the children of Israel, distributed unto them, Josh 14:2 by the lot of their inheritance, as Jehovah commanded by Moses, for the nine tribes, and for the half-tribe. Josh 14:3 For Moses had given the inheritance of the two tribes and the half-tribe beyond the Jordan: but unto the Levites he gave no inheritance among them. Josh 14:4 For the children of Joseph were two tribes, Manasseh and Ephraim: and they gave no portion unto the Levites in the land, save cities to dwell in, with the suburbs thereof for their cattle and for their substance. Josh 14:5 As Jehovah commanded Moses, so the children of Israel did; and they divided the land.
Josh 14:6 Then the children of Judah drew nigh unto Joshua in Gilgal: and Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite said unto him, Thou knowest the thing that Jehovah spake unto Moses the man of God concerning me and concerning thee in Kadesh-barnea. Josh 14:7 Forty years old was I when Moses the servant of Jehovah sent me from Kadesh-barnea to spy out the land; and I brought him word again as it was in my heart. Josh 14:8 Nevertheless my brethren that went up with me made the heart of the people melt; but I wholly followed Jehovah my God. Josh 14:9 And Moses sware on that day, saying, Surely the land whereon thy foot hath trodden shall be an inheritance to thee and to thy children for ever, because thou hast wholly followed Jehovah my God. Josh 14:10 And now, behold, Jehovah hath kept me alive, as he spake, these forty and five years, from the time that Jehovah spake this word unto Moses, while Israel walked in the wilderness: and now, lo, I am this day fourscore and five years old. Josh 14:11 As yet I am as strong this day as I was in the day that Moses sent me: as my strength was then, even so is my strength now, for war, and to go out and to come in.
Josh 14:12 Now therefore give me this hill-country, whereof Jehovah spake in that day; for thou heardest in that day how the Anakim were there, and cities great and fortified: it may be that Jehovah will be with me, and I shall drive them out, as Jehovah spake. Josh 14:13 And Joshua blessed him; and he gave Hebron unto Caleb the son of Jephunneh for an inheritance. Josh 14:14 Therefore Hebron became the inheritance of Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite unto this day; because that he wholly followed Jehovah, the God of Israel. Josh 14:15 Now the name of Hebron beforetime was Kiriath-arba; which Arba was the greatest man among the Anakim. And the land had rest from war. Josh 15:1 And the lot for the tribe of the children of Judah according to their families was unto the border of Edom, even to the wilderness of Zin southward, at the uttermost part of the south. Josh 15:2 And their south border was from the uttermost part of the Salt Sea, from the bay that looketh southward; Josh 15:3 and it went out southward of the ascent of Akrabbim, and passed along to Zin, and went up by the south of Kadesh-barnea, and passed along by Hezron, and went up to Addar, and turned about to Karka; Josh 15:4 and it passed along to Azmon, and went out at the brook of Egypt; and the goings out of the border were at the sea: this shall be your south border. Josh 15:5 And the east border was the Salt Sea, even unto the end of the Jordan. And the border of the north quarter was from the bay of the sea at the end of the Jordan; Josh 15:6 and the border went up to Beth-hoglah, and passed along by the north of Beth-arabah; and the border went up to the stone of Bohan the son of Reuben; Josh 15:7 and the border went up to Debir from the valley of Achor, and so northward, looking toward Gilgal, that is over against the ascent of Adummim, which is on the south side of the river; and the border passed along to the waters of En-shemesh, and the goings out thereof were at En-rogel; Josh 15:8 and the border went up by the valley of the son of Hinnom unto the side of the Jebusite southward (the same is Jerusalem); and the border went up to the top of the mountain that lieth before the valley of Hinnom westward, which is at the uttermost part of the vale of Rephaim northward; Josh 15:9 and the border extended from the top of the mountain unto the fountain of the waters of Nephtoah, and went out to the cities of mount Ephron; and the border extended to Baalah (the same is Kiriath-jearim); Josh 15:10 and the border turned about from Baalah westward unto mount Seir, and passed along unto the side of mount Jearim on the north (the same is Chesalon), and went down to Beth-shemesh, and passed along by Timnah; Josh 15:11 and the border went out unto the side of Ekron northward; and the border extended to Shikkeron, and passed along to mount Baalah, and went out at Jabneel; and the goings out of the border were at the sea. Josh 15:12 And the west border was to the great sea, and the border thereof. This is the border of the children of Judah round about according to their families. Josh 15:13 And unto Caleb the son of Jephunneh he gave a portion among the children of Judah, according to the commandment of Jehovah to Joshua, even Kiriath-arba, which Arba was the father of Anak (the same is Hebron). Josh 15:14 And Caleb drove out thence the three sons of Anak: Sheshai, and Ahiman, and Talmai, the children of Anak.
Josh 15:15 And he went up thence against the inhabitants of Debir: now the name of Debir beforetime was Kiriath-sepher. Josh 15:16 And Caleb said, He that smiteth Kiriath-sepher, and taketh it, to him will I give Achsah my daughter to wife. Josh 15:17 And Othniel the son of Kenaz, the brother of Caleb, took it: and he gave him Achsah his daughter to wife. Josh 15:18 And it came to pass, when she came unto him, that she moved him to ask of her father a field: and she alighted from off her ass; and Caleb said, What wouldest thou? Josh 15:19 And she said, Give me a blessing; for that thou hast set me in the land of the South, give me also springs of water. And he gave her the upper springs and the nether springs. Josh 15:20 This is the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Judah according to their families. Josh 15:21 And the uttermost cities of the tribe of the children of Judah toward the border of Edom in the South were Kabzeel, and Eder, and Jagur, Josh 15:22 and Kinah, and Dimonah, and Adadah, Josh 15:23 and Kedesh, and Hazor, and Ithnan, Josh 15:24 Ziph, and Telem, and Bealoth, Josh 15:25 and Hazor-hadattah, and Kerioth-hezron (the same is Hazor), Josh 15:26 Amam, and Shema, and Moladah, Josh 15:27 and Hazar-gaddah, and Heshmon, and Beth-pelet, Josh 15:28 and Hazar-shual, and Beer-sheba, and Biziothiah, Josh 15:29 Baalah, and Iim, and Ezem, Josh 15:30 and Eltolad, and Chesil, and Hormah, Josh 15:31 and Ziklag, and Madmannah, and Sansannah, Josh 15:32 and Lebaoth, and Shilhim, and Ain, and Rimmon: all the cities are twenty and nine, with their villages. Josh 15:33 In the lowland, Eshtaol, and Zorah, and Ashnah, Josh 15:34 and Zanoah, and En-gannim, Tappuah, and Enam, Josh 15:35 Jarmuth, and Adullam, Socoh, and Azekah, Josh 15:36 and Shaaraim, and Adithaim, and Gederah, and Gederothaim; fourteen cities with their villages. Josh 15:37 Zenan, and Hadashah, and Migdal-gad, Josh 15:38 and Dilean, and Mizpeh, and Joktheel, Josh 15:39 Lachish, and Bozkath, and Eglon, Josh 15:40 and Cabbon, and Lahmam, and Chitlish, Josh 15:41 and Gederoth, Beth-dagon, and Naamah, and Makkedah; sixteen cities with their villages. Josh 15:42 Libnah, and Ether, and Ashan, Josh 15:43 and Iphtah, and Ashnah, and Nezib, Josh 15:44 and Keilah, and Achzib, and Mareshah; nine cities with their villages. Josh 15:45 Ekron, with its towns and its villages; Josh 15:46 from Ekron even unto the sea, all that were by the side of Ashdod, with their villages.
Josh 15:47 Ashdod, its towns and its villages; Gaza, its towns and its villages; unto the brook of Egypt, and the great sea, and the border thereof. Josh 15:48 And in the hill-country, Shamir, and Jattir, and Socoh, Josh 15:49 and Dannah, and Kiriath-sannah (the same is Debir), Josh 15:50 and Anab, and Eshtemoh, and Anim, Josh 15:51 and Goshen, and Holon, and Giloh; eleven cities with their villages. Josh 15:52 Arab, and Dumah, and Eshan, Josh 15:53 and Janim, and Beth-tappuah, and Aphekah, Josh 15:54 and Humtah, and Kiriath-arba (the same is Hebron), and Zior; nine cities with their villages. Josh 15:55 Maon, Carmel, and Ziph, and Jutah, Josh 15:56 and Jezreel, and Jokdeam, and Zanoah, Josh 15:57 Kain, Gibeah, and Timnah; ten cities with their villages. Josh 15:58 Halhul, Beth-zur, and Gedor, Josh 15:59 and Maarath, and Beth-anoth, and Eltekon; six cities with their villages. Josh 15:60 Kiriath-baal (the same is Kiriath-jearim), and Rabbah; two cities with their villages. Josh 15:61 In the wilderness, Beth-arabah, Middin, and Secacah, Josh 15:62 and Nibshan, and the City of Salt, and En-gedi; six cities with their villages.
Josh 15:63 And as for the Jebusites, the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the children of Judah could not drive them out: but the Jebusites dwell with the children of Judah at Jerusalem unto this day. Josh 16:1 And the lot came out for the children of Joseph from the Jordan at Jericho, at the waters of Jericho on the east, even the wilderness, going up from Jericho through the hill-country to Beth-el; Josh 16:2 and it went out from Beth-el to Luz, and passed along unto the border of the Archites to Ataroth; Josh 16:3 and it went down westward to the border of the Japhletites, unto the border of Beth-horon the nether, even unto Gezer; and the goings out thereof were at the sea. Josh 16:4 And the children of Joseph, Manasseh and Ephraim, took their inheritance. Josh 16:5 And the border of the children of Ephraim according to their families was thus: the border of their inheritance eastward was Ataroth-addar, unto Beth-horon the upper; Josh 16:6 and the border went out westward at Michmethath on the north; and the border turned about eastward unto Taanath-shiloh, and passed along it on the east of Janoah; Josh 16:7 and it went down from Janoah to Ataroth, and to Naarah, and reached unto Jericho, and went out at the Jordan.
Josh 16:8 From Tappuah the border went along westward to the brook of Kanah; and the goings out thereof were at the sea. This is the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Ephraim according to their families; Josh 16:9 together with the cities which were set apart for the children of Ephraim in the midst of the inheritance of the children of Manasseh, all the cities with their villages. Josh 16:10 And they drove not out the Canaanites that dwelt in Gezer: but the Canaanites dwell in the midst of Ephraim unto this day, and are become servants to do taskwork. Josh 17:1 And this was the lot for the tribe of Manasseh; for he was the first-born of Joseph. As for Machir the first-born of Manasseh, the father of Gilead, because he was a man of war, therefore he had Gilead and Bashan. Josh 17:2 So the lot was for the rest of the children of Manasseh according to their families: for the children of Abiezer, and for the children of Helek, and for the children of Asriel, and for the children of Shechem, and for the children of Hepher, and for the children of Shemida: these were the male children of Manasseh the son of Joseph according to their families.
Josh 17:3 But Zelophehad, the son of Hepher, the son of Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, had no sons, but daughters: and these are the names of his daughters: Mahlah, and Noah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Tirzah. Josh 17:4 And they came near before Eleazar the priest, and before Joshua the son of Nun, and before the princes, saying, Jehovah commanded Moses to give us an inheritance among our brethren: therefore according to the commandment of Jehovah he gave them an inheritance among the brethren of their father. Josh 17:5 And there fell ten parts to Manasseh, besides the land of Gilead and Bashan, which is beyond the Jordan; Josh 17:6 because the daughters of Manasseh had an inheritance among his sons. And the land of Gilead belonged unto the rest of the sons of Manasseh. Josh 17:7 And the border of Manasseh was from Asher to Michmethath, which is before Shechem; and the border went along to the right hand, unto the inhabitants of En-tappuah. Josh 17:8 The land of Tappuah belonged to Manasseh; but Tappuah on the border of Manasseh belonged to the children of Ephraim. Josh 17:9 And the border went down unto the brook of Kanah, southward of the brook: these cities belonged to Ephraim among the cities of Manasseh: and the border of Manasseh was on the north side of the brook, and the goings out thereof were at the sea: Josh 17:10 southward it was Ephraim’s, and northward it was Manasseh’s, and the sea was his border; and they reached to Asher on the north, and to Issachar on the east. Josh 17:11 And Manasseh had in Issachar and in Asher Beth-shean and its towns, and Ibleam and its towns, and the inhabitants of Dor and its towns, and the inhabitants of En-dor and its towns, and the inhabitants of Taanach and its towns, and the inhabitants of Megiddo and its towns, even the three heights. Josh 17:12 Yet the children of Manasseh could not drive out the inhabitants of those cities; but the Canaanites would dwell in that land. Josh 17:13 And it came to pass, when the children of Israel were waxed strong, that they put the Canaanites to taskwork, and did not utterly drive them out. Josh 17:14 And the children of Joseph spake unto Joshua, saying, Why hast thou given me but one lot and one part for an inheritance, seeing I am a great people, forasmuch as hitherto Jehovah hath blessed me? Josh 17:15 And Joshua said unto them, If thou be a great people, get thee up to the forest, and cut down for thyself there in the land of the Perizzites and of the Rephaim; since the hill-country of Ephraim is too narrow for thee.
Josh 17:16 And the children of Joseph said, The hill-country is not enough for us: and all the Canaanites that dwell in the land of the valley have chariots of iron, both they who are in Beth-shean and its towns, and they who are in the valley of Jezreel. Josh 17:17 And Joshua spake unto the house of Joseph, even to Ephraim and to Manasseh, saying, Thou art a great people, and hast great power; thou shalt not have one lot only: Josh 17:18 but the hill-country shall be thine; for though it is a forest, thou shalt cut it down, and the goings out thereof shall be thine; for thou shalt drive out the Canaanites, though they have chariots of iron, and though they are strong. Josh 18:1 And the whole congregation of the children of Israel assembled themselves together at Shiloh, and set up the tent of meeting there: and the land was subdued before them. Josh 18:2 And there remained among the children of Israel seven tribes, which had not yet divided their inheritance. Josh 18:3 And Joshua said unto the children of Israel, How long are ye slack to go in to possess the land, which Jehovah, the God of your fathers, hath given you?
Josh 18:4 Appoint for you three men of each tribe: and I will send them, and they shall arise, and walk through the land, and describe it according to their inheritance; and they shall come unto me. Josh 18:5 And they shall divide it into seven portions: Judah shall abide in his border on the south, and the house of Joseph shall abide in their border on the north. Josh 18:6 And ye shall describe the land into seven portions, and bring the description hither to me; and I will cast lots for you here before Jehovah our God. Josh 18:7 For the Levites have no portion among you; for the priesthood of Jehovah is their inheritance: and Gad and Reuben and the half-tribe of Manasseh have received their inheritance beyond the Jordan eastward, which Moses the servant of Jehovah gave them. Josh 18:8 And the men arose, and went: and Joshua charged them that went to describe the land, saying, Go and walk through the land, and describe it, and come again to me; and I will cast lots for you here before Jehovah in Shiloh. Josh 18:9 And the men went and passed through the land, and described it by cities into seven portions in a book; and they came to Joshua unto the camp at Shiloh.
Josh 18:10 And Joshua cast lots for them in Shiloh before Jehovah: and there Joshua divided the land unto the children of Israel according to their divisions. Josh 18:11 And the lot of the tribe of the children of Benjamin came up according to their families: and the border of their lot went out between the children of Judah and the children of Joseph. Josh 18:12 And their border on the north quarter was from the Jordan; and the border went up to the side of Jericho on the north, and went up through the hill-country westward; and the goings out thereof were at the wilderness of Beth-aven. Josh 18:13 And the border passed along from thence to Luz, to the side of Luz (the same is Beth-el), southward; and the border went down to Ataroth-addar, by the mountain that lieth on the south of Beth-horon the nether. Josh 18:14 And the border extended thence, and turned about on the west quarter southward, from the mountain that lieth before Beth-horon southward; and the goings out thereof were at Kiriath-baal (the same is Kiriath-jearim), a city of the children of Judah: this was the west quarter. Josh 18:15 And the south quarter was from the uttermost part of Kiriath-jearim; and the border went out westward, and went out to the fountain of the waters of Nephtoah; Josh 18:16 and the border went down to the uttermost part of the mountain that lieth before the valley of the son of Hinnom, which is in the vale of Rephaim northward; and it went down to the valley of Hinnom, to the side of the Jebusite southward, and went down to En-rogel; Josh 18:17 and it extended northward, and went out at En-shemesh, and went out to Geliloth, which is over against the ascent of Adummim; and it went down to the stone of Bohan the son of Reuben; Josh 18:18 and it passed along to the side over against the Arabah northward, and went down unto the Arabah; Josh 18:19 and the border passed along to the side of Beth-hoglah northward; and the goings out of the border were at the north bay of the Salt Sea, at the south end of the Jordan: this was the south border. Josh 18:20 And the Jordan was the border of it on the east quarter. This was the inheritance of the children of Benjamin, by the borders thereof round about, according to their families. Josh 18:21 Now the cities of the tribe of the children of Benjamin according to their families were Jericho, and Beth-hoglah, and Emek-keziz, Josh 18:22 and Beth-arabah, and Zemaraim, and Beth-el, Josh 18:23 and Avvim, and Parah, and Ophrah, Josh 18:24 and Chephar-ammoni, and Ophni, and Geba; twelve cities with their villages: Josh 18:25 Gibeon, and Ramah, and Beeroth, Josh 18:26 and Mizpeh, and Chephirah, and Mozah, Josh 18:27 and Rekem, and Irpeel, and Taralah, Josh 18:28 and Zelah, Eleph, and the Jebusite (the same is Jerusalem), Gibeath, and Kiriath; fourteen cities with their villages. This is the inheritance of the children of Benjamin according to their families. Josh 19:1 And the second lot came out for Simeon, even for the tribe of the children of Simeon according to their families: and their inheritance was in the midst of the inheritance of the children of Judah. Josh 19:2 And they had for their inheritance Beer-sheba, or Sheba, and Moladah, Josh 19:3 and Hazar-shual, and Balah, and Ezem, Josh 19:4 and Eltolad, and Bethul, and Hormah, Josh 19:5 and Ziklag, and Beth-marcaboth, and Hazar-susah, Josh 19:6 and Beth-lebaoth, and Sharuhen; thirteen cities with their villages: Josh 19:7 Ain, Rimmon, and Ether, and Ashan; four cities with their villages: Josh 19:8 and all the villages that were round about these cities to Baalath-beer, Ramah of the South. This is the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Simeon according to their families.
Josh 19:9 Out of the part of the children of Judah was the inheritance of the children of Simeon; for the portion of the children of Judah was too much for them: therefore the children of Simeon had inheritance in the midst of their inheritance. Josh 19:10 And the third lot came up for the children of Zebulun according to their families. And the border of their inheritance was unto Sarid; Josh 19:11 and their border went up westward, even to Maralah, and reached to Dabbesheth; and it reached to the brook that is before Jokneam; Josh 19:12 and it turned from Sarid eastward toward the sunrising unto the border of Chisloth-tabor; and it went out to Daberath, and went up to Japhia; Josh 19:13 and from thence it passed along eastward to Gath-hepher, to Eth-kazin; and it went out at Rimmon which stretcheth unto Neah; Josh 19:14 and the border turned about it on the north to Hannathon; and the goings out thereof were at the valley of Iphtah-el; Josh 19:15 and Kattath, and Nahalal, and Shimron, and Idalah, and Bethlehem: twelve cities with their villages. Josh 19:16 This is the inheritance of the children of Zebulun according to their families, these cities with their villages.
Josh 19:17 The fourth lot came out for Issachar, even for the children of Issachar according to their families. Josh 19:18 And their border was unto Jezreel, and Chesulloth, and Shunem, Josh 19:19 and Hapharaim, and Shion, and Anaharath, Josh 19:20 and Rabbith, and Kishion, and Ebez, Josh 19:21 and Remeth, and Engannim, and En-haddah, and Beth-pazzez, Josh 19:22 and the border reached to Tabor, and Shahazumah, and Beth-shemesh; and the goings out of their border were at the Jordan: sixteen cities with their villages. Josh 19:23 This is the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Issachar according to their families, the cities with their villages. Josh 19:24 And the fifth lot came out for the tribe of the children of Asher according to their families. Josh 19:25 And their border was Helkath, and Hali, and Beten, and Achshaph, Josh 19:26 and Allammelech, and Amad, and Mishal; and it reached to Carmel westward, and to Shihor-libnath; Josh 19:27 and it turned toward the sunrising to Beth-dagon, and reached to Zebulun, and to the valley of Iphtah-el northward to Beth-emek and Neiel; and it went out to Cabul on the left hand, Josh 19:28 and Ebron, and Rehob, and Hammon, and Kanah, even unto great Sidon; Josh 19:29 and the border turned to Ramah, and to the fortified city of Tyre; and the border turned to Hosah; and the goings out thereof were at the sea by the region of Achzib; Josh 19:30 Ummah also, and Aphek, and Rehob: twenty and two cities with their villages. Josh 19:31 This is the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Asher according to their families, these cities with their villages. Josh 19:32 The sixth lot came out for the children of Naphtali, even for the children of Naphtali according to their families. Josh 19:33 And their border was from Heleph, from the oak in Zaanannim, and Adami-nekeb, and Jabneel, unto Lakkum; and the goings out thereof were at the Jordan; Josh 19:34 and the border turned westward to Aznoth-tabor, and went out from thence to Hukkok; and it reached to Zebulun on the south, and reached to Asher on the west, and to Judah at the Jordan toward the sunrising. Josh 19:35 And the fortified cities were Ziddim, Zer, and Hammath, Rakkath, and Chinnereth, Josh 19:36 and Adamah, and Ramah, and Hazor, Josh 19:37 and Kedesh, and Edrei, and En-hazor, Josh 19:38 and Iron, and Migdal-el, Horem, and Beth-anath, and Beth-shemesh; nineteen cities with their villages.
Josh 19:39 This is the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Naphtali according to their families, the cities with their villages. Josh 19:40 The seventh lot came out for the tribe of the children of Dan according to their families. Josh 19:41 And the border of their inheritance was Zorah, and Eshtaol, and Ir-shemesh, Josh 19:42 and Shaalabbin, and Aijalon, and Ithlah, Josh 19:43 and Elon, and Timnah, and Ekron, Josh 19:44 and Eltekeh, and Gibbethon, and Baalath, Josh 19:45 and Jehud, and Bene-berak, and Gath-rimmon, Josh 19:46 and Me-jarkon, and Rakkon, with the border over against Joppa. Josh 19:47 And the border of the children of Dan went out beyond them; for the children of Dan went up and fought against Leshem, and took it, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and possessed it, and dwelt therein, and called Leshem, Dan, after the name of Dan their father. Josh 19:48 This is the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Dan according to their families, these cities with their villages.
Josh 19:49 So they made an end of distributing the land for inheritance by the borders thereof; and the children of Israel gave an inheritance to Joshua the son of Nun in the midst of them: Josh 19:50 according to the commandment of Jehovah they gave him the city which he asked, even Timnath-serah in the hill-country of Ephraim; and he built the city, and dwelt therein. Josh 19:51 These are the inheritances, which Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun, and the heads of the fathers’ houses of the tribes of the children of Israel, distributed for inheritance by lot in Shiloh before Jehovah, at the door of the tent of meeting. So they made an end of dividing the land. Josh 20:1 And Jehovah spake unto Joshua, saying, Josh 20:2 Speak to the children of Israel, saying, Assign you the cities of refuge, whereof I spake unto you by Moses, Josh 20:3 that the manslayer that killeth any person unwittingly and unawares may flee thither: and they shall be unto you for a refuge from the avenger of blood. Josh 20:4 And he shall flee unto one of those cities, and shall stand at the entrance of the gate of the city, and declare his cause in the ears of the elders of that city; and they shall take him into the city unto them, and give him a place, that he may dwell among them.
Josh 20:5 And if the avenger of blood pursue after him, then they shall not deliver up the manslayer into his hand; because he smote his neighbor unawares, and hated him not beforetime. Josh 20:6 And he shall dwell in that city, until he stand before the congregation for judgment, until the death of the high priest that shall be in those days: then shall the manslayer return, and come unto his own city, and unto his own house, unto the city from whence he fled. Josh 20:7 And they set apart Kedesh in Galilee in the hill-country of Naphtali, and Shechem in the hill-country of Ephraim, and Kiriath-arba (the same is Hebron) in the hill-country of Judah. Josh 20:8 And beyond the Jordan at Jericho eastward, they assigned Bezer in the wilderness in the plain out of the tribe of Reuben, and Ramoth in Gilead out of the tribe of Gad, and Golan in Bashan out of the tribe of Manasseh. Josh 20:9 These were the appointed cities for all the children of Israel, and for the stranger that sojourneth among them, that whosoever killeth any person unwittingly might flee thither, and not die by the hand of the avenger of blood, until he stood before the congregation.
Josh 21:1 Then came near the heads of fathers’ houses of the Levites unto Eleazar the priest, and unto Joshua the son of Nun, and unto the heads of fathers’ houses of the tribes of the children of Israel; Josh 21:2 and they spake unto them at Shiloh in the land of Canaan, saying, Jehovah commanded by Moses to give us cities to dwell in, with the suburbs thereof for our cattle. Josh 21:3 And the children of Israel gave unto the Levites out of their inheritance, according to the commandment of Jehovah, these cities with their suburbs. Josh 21:4 And the lot came out for the families of the Kohathites: and the children of Aaron the priest, who were of the Levites, had by lot out of the tribe of Judah, and out of the tribe of the Simeonites, and out of the tribe of Benjamin, thirteen cities. Josh 21:5 And the rest of the children of Kohath had by lot out of the families of the tribe of Ephraim, and out of the tribe of Dan, and out of the half-tribe of Manasseh, ten cities.

Josh 21:40 All these were the cities of the children of Merari according to their families, even the rest of the families of the Levites; and their lot was twelve cities. Josh 21:41 All the cities of the Levites in the midst of the possession of the children of Israel were forty and eight cities with their suburbs. Josh 21:42 These cities were every one with their suburbs round about them: thus it was with all these cities. Josh 21:43 So Jehovah gave unto Israel all the land which he sware to give unto their fathers; and they possessed it, and dwelt therein.
Josh 21:44 And Jehovah gave them rest round about, according to all that he sware unto their fathers: and there stood not a man of all their enemies before them; Jehovah delivered all their enemies into their hand. Josh 21:45 There failed not aught of any good thing which Jehovah had spoken unto the house of Israel; all came to pass. Josh 22:1 Then Joshua called the Reubenites, and the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh, Josh 22:2 and said unto them, Ye have kept all that Moses the servant of Jehovah commanded you, and have hearkened unto my voice in all that I commanded you: Josh 22:3 ye have not left your brethren these many days unto this day, but have kept the charge of the commandment of Jehovah your God. Josh 22:4 And now Jehovah your God hath given rest unto your brethren, as he spake unto them: therefore now turn ye, and get you unto your tents, unto the land of your possession, which Moses the servant of Jehovah gave you beyond the Jordan.
Josh 22:5 Only take diligent heed to do the commandment and the law which Moses the servant of Jehovah commanded you, to love Jehovah your God, and to walk in all his ways, and to keep his commandments, and to cleave unto him, and to serve him with all your heart and with all your soul. Josh 22:6 So Joshua blessed them, and sent them away; and they went unto their tents. Josh 22:7 Now to the one half-tribe of Manasseh Moses had given inheritance in Bashan; but unto the other half gave Joshua among their brethren beyond the Jordan westward. Moreover when Joshua sent them away unto their tents, he blessed them, Josh 22:8 and spake unto them, saying, Return with much wealth unto your tents, and with very much cattle, with silver, and with gold, and with brass, and with iron, and with very much raiment: divide the spoil of your enemies with your brethren. Josh 22:9 And the children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the half-tribe of Manasseh returned, and departed from the children of Israel out of Shiloh, which is in the land of Canaan, to go unto the land of Gilead, to the land of their possession, whereof they were possessed, according to the commandment of Jehovah by Moses.
