1 When Joshua was very old, the Lord said to him, “Joshua, you have grown old, but there is still much land for you to take.
2 This is what is left: the regions of Geshur and of the Philistines;
3 the area from the Shihor River at the border of Egypt to Ekron in the north, which belongs to the Canaanites; the five Philistine leaders at Gaza, Ashdod, Ashkelon, Gath, and Ekron; the Avvites,
4 who live south of the Canaanite land;
5 the Gebalites, and the area of Lebanon east of Baal Gad below Mount Hermon to Lebo Hamath.
6 “The Sidonians are living in the hill country from Lebanon to Misrephoth Maim, but I will force all of them out ahead of the Israelites. Be sure to remember this land when you divide the land among the Israelites, as I told you.
7 “Now divide the land among the nine tribes and West Manasseh.”
