Chapter 13

1Yehoshua was now old, advanced in years. Hashem said to him, “You have grown old, you are advanced in years; and very much of the land still remains to be taken possession of.

8Now the Reubenites and the Gadites, along with the other half-tribe, had already received the shares which Moshe assigned to them on the east side of the Yarden—as assigned to them by Moshe the servant of Hashem:

11further, Gilad, the territories of the Geshurites and the Maacathites, and all of Mount Chermon, and the whole of Bashan up to Salcah

12the entire kingdom of Og, who had reigned over Bashan at Ashtaroth and at Edrei. (He was the last of the remaining Rephaim.) These were defeated and dispossessed by Moshe;

KOL-mam-le-KHOT OG ba-ba-SHAN a-SHER-ma-LAKH b'-aSH-ta-ROT u-v'-e-d'-RE-ee, HU nish-AR mi-YE-ter ha-RE-fa-EEM, va-YA-khem MO-she va-YO-ri-SHEM.

13but the Israelites failed to dispossess the Geshurites and the Maacathites, and Geshur and Maacath remain among Yisrael to this day.

14No hereditary portion, however, was assigned to the tribe of Levi, their portion being the fire offerings of Hashem, the God of Yisrael, as He spoke concerning them.

RAK l'-she-VET ha-LE-vee lo na-TAN na-KHA-lah, i-SHEI a-do-NAI e-lo-HEI yis-ra-AYL, HU na-KHA-la-TO ka-a-SHER di-BER-lo.

15And so Moshe assigned [the following] to the tribe of the Reubenites, for their various clans,

22Together with the others that they slew, the Israelites put Balaam son of Beor, the augur, to the sword.)

23The boundary of the Reubenites was the edge of the Yarden. That was the portion of the Reubenites for their various clans—those towns with their villages.

24To the tribe of Gad, for the various Gadite clans, Moshe assigned [the following],

27and in the Valley, Beth-haram, Beth-nimrah, Succoth, and Zaphon—the rest of the kingdom of Sihon, the king of Heshbon—down to the edge of the Yarden and up to the tip of the Sea of Chinnereth on the east side of the Yarden.

29And to the half-tribe of Menashe Moshe assigned [the following], so that it went to the half-tribe of Menashe, for its various clans,

30and became their territory: Mahanaim, all of Bashan, the entire kingdom of Og, king of Bashan, and all of Havvoth-jair in Bashan, sixty towns;

31and part of Gilad, and Ashtaroth and Edrei, the royal cities of Og in Bashan, were assigned to the descendants of Machir son of Menashe—to a part of the descendants of Machir—for their various clans.

32Those, then, were the portions that Moshe assigned in the steppes of Moab, on the east side of the Yarden.

33But no portion was assigned by Moshe to the tribe of Levi; Hashem, the God of Yisrael, is their portion, as He spoke concerning them.
