THE PROPHETS
Joshua
Yehoshua
The Book of Joshua, in the Hebrew-Jewish Bible, narrates the entry of the Children of Israel into the Promised Land of Canaan and their conquest and partition of the land under the leadership of Joshua, as Moses’ successor. It details the Israelites’ miraculous crossing of the Jordan River, the fall of Jericho, the battles of Ai and Gibeon, and the division of the land among the twelve tribes. Joshua resonates with Moses, in which he exhorts the Israelites to remain faithful to G-d and His commandments.

Joshua Chapter 13 Gives the Vastness of the Land G-d is Giving to the Children of Israel
The Land Of Israel Is Not Of The Jews?
Huh?
Please read.
Especially to those who claim knowledgeable that Canaan (modern day Palestine) is not of the Jews.
But this is not all. For there is more to conquer yet.
“Division of the Land”
Joshua was old, well on in years, and Hashem said to him, “You have grown old, you are well on in years, and very much land still remains to be possessed.
:13:1
all the inhabitants of the mountains, from the Lebanon to Misrephoth-maim — all the Sidonians — I will drive them out on behalf of the Children of Israel. You have only to allot it to Israel as a heritage, as I have commanded you.
:6
the entire kingdom of Og in Bashan who ruled in Ashtaroth and in Edrei; it is he who remained from the remnant of the giants — Moses defeated them and drove them out.
:12
To the tribe of Levi, however, he did not give a heritage; the fire offerings of Hashem, the God of Israel, are his heritage, as He had spoken to him.
:14
The Children of Israel slayed Balaam son of Beor, the sorcerer, with the sword, along with their [other] slain.
:22
This is the heritage of the children of Gad according to their families — the cities and their villages.
:28
These are the ones to whom Moses distributed inheritances in the plains of Moab, on the eastern side of the Jordan, across from Jericho.
:32
But to the tribe of Levi, Moses gave no heritage; Hashem, the God of Israel, is their heritage, as He had spoken to them.
:33
1 Now Joshua was old, advanced in years; and the Lord said to him, “You are old and advanced in years, and there remains yet very much land to be possessed.
2 This is the land that yet remains; all the borders of the Philistines, and all of the Geshurites.
3 From the Shihor, which is before Egypt, to the borders of Ekron northward, which is counted to the Canaanites; the five lords of the Philistines; the Gazathites, and the Ashdodites, the Ashkelonites, the Gittites, and the ‘Ekronites; also the ‘Avim.
4 From the south, all the land of the Canaanites, and Mearah that belongs to the Sidonians, to Aphek, to the border of the Amorites.
5 And the land of the Giblites, and all the Lebanon, toward the sunrising, from Baal-gad under Mount Hermon to the entering into Hamath.
6 All the inhabitants of the hill country from Lebanon to Misrephoth-maim, and all the Sidonians, I will drive them out from before the children of Israel; only divide it by lot to the Israelites for an inheritance, as I have commanded you.
7 And now, divide this land for an inheritance to the nine tribes, and the half tribe of Manasseh.
8 With him, the Reubenites and the Gadites have received their inheritance, which Moses gave them, beyond the Jordan eastward, even as Moses the servant of the Lord gave them.
9 From ‘Aroer, that is upon the bank of the river Arnon, and the city that is in the midst of the river, and all the Plain of Medba to Dibon;
10 And all the cities of Sihon king of the Amorites, who reigned in Heshbon, to the border of the children of ‘Ammon;
11 And Gilead, and the border of the Geshurites and the Maachathites, and all Mount Hermon, and all Bashan to Salcah;
12 All the kingdom of Og in Bashan, who reigned in Ashtaroth and Edrei, who remained of the remnant of the giants-these did Moses smite, and cast them out.
13 Nevertheless, the children of Israel did not expel the Geshurites or the Maachathites; but the Geshurites and Maachathites dwell among the Israelites until this day.
14 Only to the tribe of Levi he gave no inheritance; the sacrifices of the Lord God of Israel made by fire are his inheritance, as He said to him.
15 And Moses gave to the tribe of the children of Reuben inheritance according to their families.
16 And their border was from ‘Aroer, that is on the bank of the river Arnon, and the city that is in the midst of the river, and all the plain by Medba;
17 Heshbon, and all her cities that are in the plain; Dibon, and Bamoth- baal, and Beth-baal-meon.
18 And Jahaza, and Kedemoth, and Mephaath.
19 And Kirjathaim, and Sibmah, and Zereth- hashahar in the mount of the valley.
20 And Beth-peor, and Ashdoth-pisgah, and Beth-jeshimoth.
21 And all the cities of the plain, and all the kingdom of Sihon king of the Amorites, who reigned in Heshbon, whom Moses smote; and the princes of Midian: Evi, and Rekem, and Zur, and Hur, and Reba,dukes of Sihon, inhabitants of the land.
22 And Balaam the son of Beor, the soothsayer, did the children of Israel slay with the sword, together with those that were slain by them.
23 And the border of the children of Reuben was the Jordan and its border. This was the inheritance of the children of Reuben according to their families, the cities and their villages.
24 And Moses gave to the tribe of Gad, to the children of Gad according to their families.
25 And their border was Jazer, and all the cities of Gilead, and half the land of the children of ‘Ammon, to ‘Aroer that is before Rabbah.
26 And from Heshbon to Ramath-mizpeh, and Betonim; and from Mahanaim to the border of Debir;
27 And in the valley, Beth-haram, and Beth-nimrah, and Succoth, and Zaphon, the rest of the kingdom of Sihon king of Heshbon, Jordan and its border, to the edge of the Sea of Chinnereth on the eastern side of the Jordan.
28 This is the inheritance of the children of Gad, according to their families, the cities and their villages.
29 And Moses gave inheritance to the half tribe of Manasseh; and this was for the half tribe of the children of Manasseh according to their families.
30 And their border was from Mahanaim, all Bashan, all the kingdom of Og king of Bashan, and all the villages of Jair, which are in Bashan, threescore cities;
31 And half Gilead, and Ashtaroth, and Edrei, cities of the kingdom of Og in Bashan, were for the children of Machir the son of Manasseh, to one half the children of Machir according to their families.
32 These are the tribes which Moses caused to inherit in the plains of Moab, on the other side of the Jordan eastward, facing Jericho.
33 But to the tribe of Levi Moses gave no inheritance. The Lord God of Israel was their inheritance, as he spoke to them.
