Joshua 12 - Simple English

1These are the kings of the land whom the children of Israel struck down. They took their land on the other side of the Jordan, toward the rising of the sun, from the river Arnon to mount Hermon, and all the plain on the east:

2Sihon king of the Amorites, who lived in Heshbon. He ruled from Aroer, which is on the bank of the river Arnon, and from the middle of the river, and from half of Gilead, as far as the river Jabbok, which is the border of the children of Ammon.

3He also ruled from the plain to the sea of Chinneroth on the east, and to the sea of the plain, that is, the salt sea on the east, on the way to Bethjeshimoth; and from the south, below Ashdothpisgah.

4They also took the land of Og king of Bashan, who was left of the giants. He lived at Ashtaroth and at Edrei,

5and he ruled in mount Hermon, and in Salcah, and in all Bashan, as far as the border of the Geshurites and the Maachathites, and half of Gilead, the border of Sihon king of Heshbon.

6Moses the servant of the LORD and the children of Israel struck them down. And Moses the servant of the LORD gave their land to the Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half tribe of Manasseh, to be theirs.

7These are the kings of the country whom Joshua and the children of Israel struck down on this side of the Jordan, on the west, from Baalgad in the valley of Lebanon as far as mount Halak, which goes up to Seir. Joshua gave their land to the tribes of Israel to be theirs, dividing it among them.

8This was in the mountains, and in the valleys, and in the plains, and in the springs, and in the wilderness, and in the south country: the land of the Hittites, the Amorites, the Canaanites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites.
