Also, all the inhabitants of the hill country from Lebanon as far as Misrephoth Maim, including all the people of Sidon. I will drive them out before the army of Israel. Be sure to assign the land to Israel as an inheritance, as I commanded you.
7 Fa saa asase yi nyinaa sɛ Israelfo agyapade bere a worekyekyɛ mu ama mmusuakuw akron no ne Manase abusua fa no.”
Divide this land as an inheritance to the nine tribes and to the half tribe of Manasseh.”

from Aroer, which is on the edge of the Arnon river gorge (including the city that is in the middle of the gorge), to all the plateau of Medeba as far as Dibon;

But the people of Israel did not drive out the Geshurites or the Maacathites. Instead, Geshur and Maacath live among Israel to this day.
14 Na Lewi abusuakuw no de, wamma wɔn agyapade biara. Wɔn agyapade fi afɔrebɔde a wɔhyew wɔ afɔremuka so ma Awurade, Israel Nyankopɔn no.

32 Eyinom yɛ nkyekyɛmu a Mose yɛe bere a na ɔwɔ Moab tataw so, wɔ Asubɔnten Yordan akyi, Yeriko apuei fam.
This is the inheritance that Moses assigned to them on the plains of Moab, beyond the Jordan east of Jericho.
