← Chapter 11 Jump to: Chapter 13 →

1On the east side of the Jordan, Moses and the Israelites had conquered two kings, Sihon and Og. The Israelites occupied their territory, which extended from the Arnon Valley in the south to Mount Hermon in the north, including the entire eastern desert.

2Sihon, king of the Amorites, reigned in Heshbon and ruled over the southern half of Gilead, from Aroer on the edge of the Arnon River Valley in the south to the River Jabbok in the north, which is the border of the Ammonites.

3The western area of his kingdom included the eastern desert from Lake Galilee to the Dead Sea (the Salt Sea). His territory included the area east of the Dead Sea as far as the town of Beth Jeshimoth and as far south as Mount Pisgah.

4Og, the king of Bashan, was one of the last of the race of giants. He reigned in the cities of Ashtaroth and Edrei. He ruled over all of Bashan, the northern half of Gilead, to the boundary of Sihon, king of Heshbon.

5His territory included Mount Hermon in the north and Salecah in the east, and south to the boundary of the Geshurites and the Maacathites.

6Moses and the Israelites conquered the two kings, Sihon and Og. Moses, the servant of Yahweh, divided their land east of the Jordan among the tribes of Reuben, Gad, and half the tribe of Manasseh.

7On the west side of the Jordan, Joshua and the Israelites defeated thirty-one kings, from Baal-Gad in the Lebanon Valley in the north to Mount Halak in the south near Edom. Then Joshua divided this land among the tribes of Israel and gave them their portions as permanent possessions—

8the hill country, the western foothills, and the Jordan Valley, the mountain slopes, the wilderness of Judea, and the southern desert region— the land of the Hittites, Amorites, Canaanites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites.
