1And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,
2Command the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye come into the land of Canaan (this is the land that shall fall unto you for an inheritance, even the land of Canaan according to the borders thereof),
3then 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;
4and your border shall turn about southward of the ascent of Akrabbim, and pass along to Zin; and the goings out thereof shall be southward of Kadesh-barnea; and it shall go forth to Hazar-addar, and pass along to Azmon;
5and the border shall turn about from Azmon unto the brook of Egypt, and the goings out thereof shall be at the sea.
6And for the western border, ye shall have the great sea and the border thereof : this shall be your west border.
7And this shall be your north border: from the great sea ye shall mark out for you mount Hor;
8from mount Hor ye shall mark out unto the entrance of Hamath; and the goings out of the border shall be at Zedad;
9and the border shall go forth to Ziphron, and the goings out thereof shall be at Hazar-enan: this shall be your north border.
10And ye shall mark out your east border from Hazar-enan to Shepham;
11and the border shall go down from Shepham to Riblah, on the east side of Ain; and the border shall go down, and shall reach unto the side of the sea of Chinnereth eastward;
12and the border shall go down to the Jordan, and the goings out thereof shall be at the Salt Sea. This shall be your land according to the borders thereof round about.
13And Moses commanded the children of Israel, saying, This is the land which ye shall inherit by lot, which Jehovah hath commanded to give unto the nine tribes, and to the half-tribe;
14for 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:
15the two tribes and the half-tribe have received their inheritance beyond the Jordan at Jericho eastward, toward the sunrising.
16And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,
17These are the names of the men that shall divide the land unto you for inheritance: Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun.
18And ye shall take one prince of every tribe, to divide the land for inheritance.
19And these are the names of the men: Of the tribe of Judah, Caleb the son of Jephunneh.
20And of the tribe of the children of Simeon, Shemuel the son of Ammihud.
21Of the tribe of Benjamin, Elidad the son of Chislon.
22And of the tribe of the children of Dan a prince, Bukki the son of Jogli.
23Of the children of Joseph: of the tribe of the children of Manasseh a prince, Hanniel the son of Ephod.
24And of the tribe of the children of Ephraim a prince, Kemuel the son of Shiphtan.
25And of the tribe of the children of Zebulun a prince, Elizaphan the son of Parnach.
26And of the tribe of the children of Issachar a prince, Paltiel the son of Azzan.
27And of the tribe of the children of Asher a prince, Ahihud the son of Shelomi.
28And of the tribe of the children of Naphtali a prince, Pedahel the son of Ammihud.
29These are they whom Jehovah commanded to divide the inheritance unto the children of Israel in the land of Canaan.
