But if you do not drive out the inhabitants of the land before you, those you allow to remain will become barbs in your eyes and thorns in your sides; they will harass you in the land where you settle.

And then I will do to you what I had planned to do to them.”

“Command the Israelites and say to them: When you enter the land of Canaan, it will be allotted to you as an inheritance with these boundaries:

Your southern border will extend from the Wilderness of Zin along the border of Edom. On the east, your southern border will run from the end of the Salt Sea,

Your southern border will extend from the Wilderness of Zin along the border of Edom. On the east, your southern border will run from the end of the Salt Sea,

…cross south of the Ascent of Akrabbim, continue to Zin, and go south of Kadesh-barnea. Then it will go on to Hazar-addar and proceed to Azmon,

…where it will turn from Azmon, join the Brook of Egypt, and end at the Sea.

Your western border will be the coastline of the Great Sea; this will be your boundary on the west.

Your western border will be the coastline of the Great Sea; this will be your boundary on the west.

Your northern border will run from the Great Sea directly to Mount Hor,

…continue to Ziphron, and end at Hazar-enan. This will be your boundary on the north.

And your eastern border will run straight from Hazar-enan to Shepham,

Then the border will go down along the Jordan and end at the Salt Sea. This will be your land, defined by its borders on all sides.”

The cities will be for them to live in, and the pasturelands will be for their herds, their flocks, and all their other livestock.

The pasturelands around the cities you are to give the Levites will extend a thousand cubits from the wall on every side.

You are also to measure two thousand cubits outside the city on the east, two thousand on the south, two thousand on the west, and two thousand on the north, with the city in the center. These areas will serve as larger pasturelands for the cities.

The total number of cities you give the Levites will be forty-eight, with their corresponding pasturelands.

You are to have these cities as a refuge from the avenger, so that the manslayer will not die until he stands trial before the assembly.

The cities you select will be your six cities of refuge.

These six cities will serve as a refuge for the Israelites and for the foreigner or stranger among them, so that anyone who kills a person unintentionally may flee there.

The assembly is to protect the manslayer from the hand of the avenger of blood. Then the assembly will return him to the city of refuge to which he fled, and he must live there until the death of the high priest, who was anointed with the holy oil.

…and the avenger of blood finds him outside of his city of refuge and kills him, then the avenger will not be guilty of bloodshed,

This will be a statutory ordinance for you for the generations to come, wherever you live.

But if they marry any of the men from the other tribes of Israel, their inheritance will be withdrawn from the portion of our fathers and added to the tribe into which they marry. So our allotted inheritance would be taken away.

And when the Jubilee for the Israelites comes, their inheritance will be added to the tribe into which they marry and taken away from the tribe of our fathers.”

Every daughter who possesses an inheritance from any Israelite tribe must marry within a clan of the tribe of her father, so that every Israelite will possess the inheritance of his fathers.

Choose for yourselves wise, understanding, and respected men from each of your tribes, and I will appoint them as your leaders.”

But when you get close to the Ammonites, do not harass them or provoke them, for I will not give you any of the land of the Ammonites. I have given it to the descendants of Lot as their possession.”

This very day I will begin to put the dread and fear of you upon all the nations under heaven. They will hear the reports of you and tremble in anguish because of you.”

Do not be afraid of them, for the LORD your God Himself will fight for you.”

Go to the top of Pisgah and look to the west and north and south and east. See the land with your own eyes, for you will not cross this Jordan.

For I will not be crossing the Jordan, because I must die in this land. But you shall cross over and take possession of that good land.
