And these are the countries which the children of inherited in the , which the priest, and the son of , and the heads of the fathers of the tribes of the children of , distributed for inheritance to them. By was their inheritance, as the LORD commanded by the hand of , for the nine tribes, and for the half tribe. For had given the inheritance of two tribes and an half tribe the other side : but unto the he gave none inheritance among them. For the children of were two tribes, and : therefore they gave no part unto the in the land, save cities to dwell in, with their suburbs for their cattle and for their substance.

And blessed him, and gave unto the son of for an inheritance. therefore became the inheritance of the son of the unto this day, because that he wholly followed the LORD God of . And the name of before was -arba; which was a great man among the . And the land had rest from war.
