Joshua 13:8-32
Tribal Lands East of the Jordan
13:8 The other half of Manasseh, Reuben, and Gad received their allotted tribal lands beyond the Jordan, just as Moses, the Lord’s servant, had assigned them.
13:9 Their territory started from Aroer (on the edge of the Arnon Valley), included the city in the middle of the valley, the whole plain of Medeba as far as Dibon,
13:10 and all the cities of King Sihon of the Amorites who ruled in Heshbon, and ended at the Ammonite border.
13:11 Their territory also included Gilead, Geshurite and Maacathite territory, all Mount Hermon, and all Bashan to Salecah –
13:12 the whole kingdom of Og in Bashan, who ruled in Ashtaroth and Edrei. (He was one of the few remaining Rephaites.) Moses defeated them and took their lands.
13:13 But the Israelites did not conquer the Geshurites and Maacathites; Geshur and Maacah live among Israel to this very day.
13:14 However, Moses did not assign land as an inheritance to the Levites; their inheritance is the sacrificial offerings made to the Lord God of Israel, as he instructed them.
13:15 Moses assigned land to the tribe of Reuben by its clans.
13:16 Their territory started at Aroer (on the edge of the Arnon Valley) and included the city in the middle of the valley, the whole plain of Medeba,
13:17 Heshbon and all its surrounding cities on the plain, including Dibon, Bamoth Baal, Beth Baal Meon,
13:18 Jahaz, Kedemoth, Mephaath,
13:19 Kiriathaim, Sibmah, Zereth Shahar on the hill in the valley,
13:20 Beth Peor, the slopes of Pisgah, and Beth Jeshimoth.
13:21 It encompassed all the cities of the plain and the whole realm of King Sihon of the Amorites who ruled in Heshbon. Moses defeated him and the Midianite leaders Evi, Rekem, Zur, Hur, and Reba (they were subjects of Sihon and lived in his territory).
13:22 The Israelites killed Balaam son of Beor, the omen reader, along with the others.
13:23 The border of the tribe of Reuben was the Jordan. The land allotted to the tribe of Reuben by its clans included these cities and their towns.
13:24 Moses assigned land to the tribe of Gad by its clans.
13:25 Their territory included Jazer, all the cities of Gilead, and half of Ammonite territory as far as Aroer near Rabbah.
13:26 Their territory ran from Heshbon to Ramath Mizpah and Betonim, and from Mahanaim to the territory of Debir.
13:27 It included the valley of Beth Haram, Beth Nimrah, Succoth, and Zaphon, and the rest of the realm of King Sihon of Heshbon, the area east of the Jordan to the end of the Sea of Kinnereth.
13:28 The land allotted to the tribe of Gad by its clans included these cities and their towns.
13:29 Moses assigned land to the half-tribe of Manasseh by its clans.
13:30 Their territory started at Mahanaim and encompassed all Bashan, the whole realm of King Og of Bashan, including all sixty cities in Havvoth Jair in Bashan.
13:31 Half of Gilead, Ashtaroth, and Edrei, cities in the kingdom of Og in Bashan, were assigned to the descendants of Makir son of Manasseh, to half the descendants of Makir by their clans.
13:32 These are the land assignments made by Moses on the plains of Moab east of the Jordan River opposite Jericho.
Luke 22:29-42
22:29 Thus
I grant
to you a kingdom,
just as my Father granted to me,
22:30 that you may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom, and you will sit
on thrones judging
the twelve tribes of Israel.
22:31 “Simon, Simon, pay attention! Satan has demanded to have you all, to sift you like wheat,
22:32 but I have prayed for you, Simon, that your faith may not fail. When you have turned back, strengthen your brothers.”
22:33 But Peter said to him, “Lord, I am ready to go with you both to prison and to death!”
22:34 Jesus replied, “I tell you, Peter, the rooster will not crow today until you have denied three times that you know me.”
22:35 Then Jesus said to them, “When I sent you out with no money bag, or traveler’s bag, or sandals, you didn’t lack anything, did you?” They replied, “Nothing.”
22:36 He said to them, “But now, the one who has a money bag must take it, and likewise a traveler’s bag too. And the one who has no sword must sell his cloak and buy one.
22:37 For I tell you that this scripture must be fulfilled in me, ‘And he was counted with the transgressors.’ For what is written about me is being fulfilled.”
22:38 So they said, “Look, Lord, here are two swords.” Then he told them, “It is enough.”
On the Mount of Olives
22:39 Then Jesus went out and made his way, as he customarily did, to the Mount of Olives, and the disciples followed him.
22:40 When he came to the place, he said to them, “Pray that you will not fall into temptation.”
22:41 He went away from them about a stone’s throw, knelt down, and prayed,
22:42 “Father, if you are willing, take this cup away from me. Yet not my will but yours be done.”
Deuteronomy 3:11-17
3:11 Only King Og of Bashan was left of the remaining Rephaites. (It is noteworthy
that his sarcophagus
was made of iron.
Does it not, indeed, still remain in Rabbath
of the Ammonites? It is thirteen and a half feet
long and six feet
wide according to standard measure.)
Distribution of the Transjordanian Allotments
3:12 This is the land we brought under our control at that time: The territory extending from Aroer by the Wadi Arnon and half the Gilead hill country with its cities I gave to the Reubenites and Gadites.
3:13 The rest of Gilead and all of Bashan, the kingdom of Og, I gave to half the tribe of Manasseh. (All the region of Argob, that is, all Bashan, is called the land of Rephaim.
3:14 Jair, son of Manasseh, took all the Argob region as far as the border with the Geshurites and Maacathites (namely Bashan) and called it by his name, Havvoth-Jair, which it retains to this very day.)
3:15 I gave Gilead to Machir.
3:16 To the Reubenites and Gadites I allocated the territory extending from Gilead as far as Wadi Arnon (the exact middle of the wadi was a boundary) all the way to the Wadi Jabbok, the Ammonite border.
3:17 The Arabah and the Jordan River were also a border, from the sea of Chinnereth to the sea of the Arabah (that is, the Salt Sea), beneath the watershed of Pisgah to the east.
