Joshua 13:13-15
New English Translation

13 But the Israelites did not conquer[a] the Geshurites and Maacathites; Geshur and Maacah live among Israel to this very day. 14 However, Moses[b] did not assign land as an inheritance[c] to the Levites; their inheritance[d] is the sacrificial offerings[e] made to the Lord God of Israel, as he instructed[f] them.

15 Moses assigned land to the tribe of Reuben[g] by its clans.
