A reading from the Book of Joshua.

Now these are the kings of the land whom the people of Israel defeated and took possession

of their land beyond the Jordan toward the sunrise, from the valley of the Arnon to Mount

Hermon, with all the Araba eastward.

Sihon, king of the Amorites who lived at Heshpun, and ruled from Arouer, which is on the edge

of the valley of the Arnon, and from the middle of the valley as far as the River Jabic, the

boundary of the Ammonites, that is, half of Gilead, and the Araba to the sea of Caneroth,

eastward, and in the direction of Beth Jesimoth to the Sea of the Araba to the Sea of Caneroth, eastward, and in the direction of Beth Jesimoth

to the Sea of the Sea, southward to the foot of the slopes of Pisca, and Ag, king of Bashan,

one of the remnant of the Refaim who lived at Ahteroth and at Edreai, and ruled over Mount

Hermon and Salika and all Bashan to the

boundary of the Gesherites and the Mayakathites, and over half of Gilead to the boundary of

Cihon, king of Heshpon. Moses, the servant of the Lord and the people of Israel, defeated

them, and Moses the servant of the Lord gave their land for a possession to the Rubinites and the people of Israel defeated them. And Moses, the servant of the Lord, gave their land for a

possession to the Rubinites and the Gadites and the half-tribe of Manasseh. And these are the kings

of the land whom Joshua and the people of Israel defeated on the west side of the Jordan, from

Ba'u'u'u'ad in the valley of Lebanon to Mount Halik that rises towards

Seir, and Joshua gave their land to the tribes of Israel as a possession, according to their

allotments, in the hill country, in the lowland, in the Araba, in the slopes, in the wilderness,

and in the Negev, the land of the Hittites, the Amarites, the Canaanites,

the Parasites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites.

The king of Jericho, one.
