Joshua 13

The LORD tells an aged Joshua that much land still remains to be possessed, then instructs him to divide the land among the tribes. The chapter reviews the territories already given east of Jordan to Reuben, Gad, and half Manasseh and notes again that Levi receives no territorial inheritance because the sacrifices of the LORD are its inheritance.
