13:6. Of all that dwell in the mountains from Liba.n.u.s, to the waters of Maserephoth, and all the Sidonians. I am he that will cut them off from before the face of the children of Israel. So let their land come in as a part of the inheritance of Israel, as I have commanded thee.

13:7. And now divide the land in possession to the nine tribes, and to the half tribe of Mana.s.ses,

With whom... That is, with the other half of that same tribe.
