5 the territory of Byblos[a] and all Lebanon to the east, from Baal Gad below Mount Hermon to Lebo Hamath.[b] 6 I will drive out before the Israelites all who live in the hill country from Lebanon to Misrephoth Maim,[c] all the Sidonians; you be sure to parcel it out to Israel as I instructed you.[d] 7 Now, divide up this land[e] among the nine tribes and the half-tribe of Manasseh.”

- Joshua 13:5 tn Heb “and the land of the Gebalites.”
- Joshua 13:5 tn Or “the entrance to Hamath.” Most modern translations take the phrase “Lebo Hamath” to be a proper name, but often provide a note with the alternative, where “Hamath” is the proper name and לְבוֹא (levoʾ) is taken to mean “entrance to.”
- Joshua 13:6 tn The meaning of the Hebrew name “Misrephoth Maim” is perhaps “lime-kilns by the water” (see HALOT 641 s.v. מִשְׂרָפוֹת).
