  • Hiligaynon: “Josue and the Israelinhon also subjected/brought-under-(their)-jurisdiction the land in the west of Jordan, from Baal Gad in the Valley of Lebanon up-to the Mountain of Halak going-up to Seir. Josue gave these lands to the Israelinhon as their inheritance. They divided/partitioned this according-to their tribes. These lands were the mountains, the hills/[lit. something-like-mountains] in the west, the Valley of Jordan, the areas-below/lower-regions-of the mountains, the desert in the south, and the Negev. These (areas) were- formerly -dwelled-in before by the Hithanon, Amornon, Canaanhon, Periznon, Hivhanon, and Jebusnon. These were the kings in those places whom Josue and the Israelinhon defeated:” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “That land included the mountains, the western hilly area, the Jordan River Valley, the western slopes of the mountains, the desert in Judea, and the Negev desert in the south. That whole area was the land where the Heth, Amor, Canaan, Periz, Hiv, and Jebus people-groups lived. The Israeli army defeated the armies of the kings of each of these cities:” (Source: Translation for Translators)
