Yahweh spoke to Moses , saying,
2
"Command the children of Israel , and tell them, 'When you come into the land of Canaan (this is the land that shall fall to you for an inheritance , even the land of Canaan according to its borders ),
3
then your south quarter shall be from the wilderness of Zin along by the side of Edom , and your south border shall be from the end of the Salt Sea eastward;
4
and your border shall turn about southward of the ascent of Akrabbim, and pass along to Zin; and the goings out of it shall be southward of Kadesh Barnea; and it shall go forth to Hazar Addar, and pass along to Azmon;
5
and the border shall turn about from Azmon to the brook of Egypt , and the goings out of it shall be at the sea .
6
"'For the western border , you shall have the great sea and the border [of it]: this shall be your west border .
7
"'This shall be your north border : from the great sea you shall mark out for you Mount Hor;
8
from Mount Hor you shall mark out to the entrance of Hamath; and the goings out of the border shall be at Zedad;
9
and the border shall go forth to Ziphron, and the goings out of it shall be at Hazar Enan: this shall be your north border .
10
"'You shall mark out your east border from Hazar Enan to Shepham;
11
and the border shall go down from Shepham to Riblah, on the east side of Ain; and the border shall go down , and shall reach to the side of the sea of Chinnereth eastward;
12
and the border shall go down to the Jordan , and the goings out of it shall be at the Salt Sea . This shall be your land according to its borders around it.'"
13
Moses commanded the children of Israel , saying, "This is the land which you shall inherit by lot , which Yahweh has commanded to give to the nine tribes, and to the half -tribe ;
14
for the tribe of the children of Reuben according to their fathers ' houses , and the tribe of the children of Gad according to their fathers ' houses , have received, and the half -tribe of Manasseh have received, their inheritance :
15
the two tribes and the half -tribe have received their inheritance beyond the Jordan at Jericho eastward, toward the sunrise ."
16
Yahweh spoke to Moses , saying,
17
"These are the names of the men who shall divide the land to you for inheritance: Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun.
18
You shall take one prince of every tribe , to divide the land for inheritance.
19
These are the names of the men: Of the tribe of Judah , Caleb the son of Jephunneh.
20
Of the tribe of the children of Simeon , Shemuel the son of Ammihud.
21
Of the tribe of Benjamin , Elidad the son of Chislon.
22
Of the tribe of the children of Dan a prince, Bukki the son of Jogli.
23
Of the children of Joseph : of the tribe of the children of Manasseh a prince, Hanniel the son of Ephod.
24
Of the tribe of the children of Ephraim a prince, Kemuel the son of Shiphtan.
25
Of the tribe of the children of Zebulun a prince, Elizaphan the son of Parnach.
26
Of the tribe of the children of Issachar a prince, Paltiel the son of Azzan.
27
