fought against King Bera of Sodom, King Birsha of Gomorrah, King Shinab of Admah, King Shemeber of Zeboiim, and the king of Bela( also called Zoar).

Abraham moved south to the Negev and lived for a while between Kadesh and Shur, and then he moved on to Gerar. While living there as a foreigner,

When the Most High assigned lands to the nations, when he divided up the human race, he established the boundaries of the peoples according to the number in his heavenly court.

Lot took a long look at the fertile plains of the Jordan Valley in the direction of Zoar. The whole area was well watered everywhere, like the garden of the Lord or the beautiful land of Egypt.( This was before the Lord destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah.)Lot chose for himself the whole Jordan Valley to the east of them. He went there with his flocks and servants and parted company with his uncle Abram.So Abram settled in the land of Canaan, and Lot moved his tents to a place near Sodom and settled among the cities of the plain.But the people of this area were extremely wicked and constantly sinned against the Lord.After Lot had gone, the Lord said to Abram,“ Look as far as you can see in every direction— north and south, east and west.I am giving all this land, as far as you can see, to you and your descendants as a permanent possession.And I will give you so many descendants that, like the dust of the earth, they cannot be counted!Go and walk through the land in every direction, for I am giving it to you.”

“ Give these instructions to the Israelites: When you come into the land of Canaan, which I am giving you as your special possession, these will be the boundaries.The southern portion of your country will extend from the wilderness of Zin, along the edge of Edom. The southern boundary will begin on the east at the Dead Sea.It will then run south past Scorpion Pass in the direction of Zin. Its southernmost point will be Kadesh barnea, from which it will go to Hazar addar, and on to Azmon.From Azmon the boundary will turn toward the Brook of Egypt and end at the Mediterranean Sea.“ Your western boundary will be the coastline of the Mediterranean Sea.“ Your northern boundary will begin at the Mediterranean Sea and run east to Mount Hor,then to Lebo hamath, and on through Zedadand Ziphron to Hazar enan. This will be your northern boundary.“ The eastern boundary will start at Hazar enan and run south to Shepham,then down to Riblah on the east side of Ain. From there the boundary will run down along the eastern edge of the Sea of Galilee,and then along the Jordan River to the Dead Sea. These are the boundaries of your land.”Then Moses told the Israelites,“ This territory is the homeland you are to divide among yourselves by sacred lot. The Lord has commanded that the land be divided among the nine and a half remaining tribes.The families of the tribes of Reuben, Gad, and half the tribe of Manasseh have already received their grants of landon the east side of the Jordan River, across from Jericho toward the sunrise.”

along with all the foreigners living in that land. I also gave it to all the kings of the land of Uz and the kings of the Philistine cities of Ashkelon, Gaza, Ekron, and what remains of Ashdod.

The following is a list of the kings that Joshua and the Israelite armies defeated on the west side of the Jordan, from Baal gad in the valley of Lebanon to Mount Halak, which leads up to Seir.( Joshua gave this land to the tribes of Israel as their possession,including the hill country, the western foothills, the Jordan Valley, the mountain slopes, the Judean wilderness, and the Negev. The people who lived in this region were the Hittites, the Amorites, the Canaanites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites.) These are the kings Israel defeated:

“ Oh, how can I give you up, Israel? How can I let you go? How can I destroy you like Admah or demolish you like Zeboiim? My heart is torn within me, and my compassion overflows.

So the Lord made a covenant with Abram that day and said,“ I have given this land to your descendants, all the way from the border of Egypt to the great Euphrates River—the land now occupied by the Kenites, Kenizzites, Kadmonites,Hittites, Perizzites, Rephaites,Amorites, Canaanites, Girgashites, and Jebusites.”

One day Samson went to the Philistine town of Gaza and spent the night with a prostitute.

Then the Lord rained down fire and burning sulfur from the sky on Sodom and Gomorrah.He utterly destroyed them, along with the other cities and villages of the plain, wiping out all the people and every bit of vegetation.

A severe famine now struck the land, as had happened before in Abraham’s time. So Isaac moved to Gerar, where Abimelech, king of the Philistines, lived.

So the Lord told Abraham,“ I have heard a great outcry from Sodom and Gomorrah, because their sin is so flagrant.

The remaining tribes of Israel received land in Canaan as allotted by Eleazar the priest, Joshua son of Nun, and the tribal leaders.These nine and a half tribes received their grants of land by means of sacred lots, in accordance with the Lord’s command through Moses.Moses had already given a grant of land to the two and a half tribes on the east side of the Jordan River, but he had given the Levites no such allotment.The descendants of Joseph had become two separate tribes— Manasseh and Ephraim. And the Levites were given no land at all, only towns to live in with surrounding pasturelands for their livestock and all their possessions.So the land was distributed in strict accordance with the Lord’s commands to Moses.A delegation from the tribe of Judah, led by Caleb son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite, came to Joshua at Gilgal. Caleb said to Joshua,“ Remember what the Lord said to Moses, the man of God, about you and me when we were at Kadesh barnea.I was forty years old when Moses, the servant of the Lord, sent me from Kadesh barnea to explore the land of Canaan. I returned and gave an honest report,but my brothers who went with me frightened the people from entering the Promised Land. For my part, I wholeheartedly followed the Lord my God.So that day Moses solemnly promised me,‘ The land of Canaan on which you were just walking will be your grant of land and that of your descendants forever, because you wholeheartedly followed the Lord my God.’“ Now, as you can see, the Lord has kept me alive and well as he promised for all these forty five years since Moses made this promise— even while Israel wandered in the wilderness. Today I am eighty five years old.I am as strong now as I was when Moses sent me on that journey, and I can still travel and fight as well as I could then.So give me the hill country that the Lord promised me. You will remember that as scouts we found the descendants of Anak living there in great, walled towns. But if the Lord is with me, I will drive them out of the land, just as the Lord said.”So Joshua blessed Caleb son of Jephunneh and gave Hebron to him as his portion of land.Hebron still belongs to the descendants of Caleb son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite because he wholeheartedly followed the Lord, the God of Israel.( Previously Hebron had been called Kiriath arba. It had been named after Arba, a great hero of the descendants of Anak.) And the land had rest from war.
