JOSHUA CHAPTER 13 God makes known to Joshua the bounds of the land not yet conquered, Joshua 13:1-6; commands it to be divided among the nine tribes and a half, Joshua 13:7. The inheritance of the two tribes and a half on the other side Jordan, Joshua 13:8-13. The Lord and his sacrifices the inheritance of Levi, Joshua 13:14. The portion of the Reubenites, Joshua 13:15-23; of the Gadites, Joshua 13:24-28; of the half tribe of Manasseh, Joshua 13:29-32. Thou art old, therefore delay not to do the work which I have appointed and commanded thee to do. To be possessed; to be conquered, and so possessed by the people.

Joshua 13:1

1 Now Joshua was old and stricken in years; and the LORD said unto him, Thou art old and stricken in years, and there remaineth yet very much land to be possessed.
