The land that remained for Israel to take

13 Joshua had become a very old man.[a] The Lord said to him, ‘You are now very old. There is still a lot of land that you have not yet taken. This is the land left for you to take: All the land of the Philistines and the Geshurites. Their land goes from the Shihor river on the east side of Egypt, to the border of Ekron's land. That part belongs to the Canaanites. The land of the Philistine rulers in Gaza, Ashdod, Ashkelon, Gath and Ekron. There is also the land of the Avvites in the south.[b]
