[1] 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
the borders of it), [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 the borders of it round about. [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] Of the tribe of the children of Asher a
prince, Ahihud the son of Shelomi. [28] Of the tribe of the children of
Naphtali a prince, Pedahel the son of Ammihud. [29] These are they whom
Yahweh commanded to divide the inheritance to the children of Israel in the
land of Canaan.
