3. (from the Shihor, which is east of Egypt, northward to the boundary of Ekron, it is reckoned as Canaanite; there are five rulers of the Philistines, those of Gaza, Ashdod, Ash'kelon, Gath, and Ekron), and those of the Avvim,

6. all the inhabitants of the hill country from Lebanon to Mis'rephoth-ma'im, even all the Sido'nians. I will myself drive them out from before the people of Israel; only allot the land to Israel for an inheritance, as I have commanded you.

7. Et nunc divide terram hanc in possessionem novem tribubus et dimidiae tribui Manasse”.

7. Now therefore divide this land for an inheritance to the nine tribes and half the tribe of Manas'seh."
