1 The
LORD 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 Your
border shall turn
about southward of
the ascent of
Akrabbim, and pass
along to Zin;
and it shall
pass southward
of Kadesh Barnea; and
it shall go
from there to Hazar
Addar, and pass
along to Azmon.
5 The
border shall turn
about from Azmon
to the brook
of Egypt, and
it shall end at
the sea.
6 “ ‘For
the western border,
you shall have
the great sea
and its border.
This shall be
your west border.
7 “ ‘This
shall be your
north border: from
the great sea
you shall mark out
for yourselves Mount
Hor.
8 From
Mount Hor you
shall mark out to
the entrance of
Hamath; and the
border shall pass
by Zedad.
9 Then
the border shall
go to Ziphron,
and it shall
end at Hazar Enan.
This shall be
your north border.
10 “ ‘You
shall mark out your
east border
from Hazar Enan to
Shepham.
11 The
border shall go
down from Shepham
to Riblah, on
the east side
of Ain. The
border shall go
down, and shall
reach to the
side of the
sea of Chinnereth
eastward.
12 The
border shall go
down to the
Jordan, and end 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
the LORD 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,
the tribe of
the children of
Gad according to
their fathers’ houses,
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 The
LORD 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 the LORD
commanded to
divide the
inheritance to the
children of Israel
in the land of
Canaan.
