¹Then the Lord spoke to Moses and said, ²“Command the sons of Israel and say to them, ‘When you come into the land of Canaan – this is the land which falls to you as an inheritance – the land of Canaan according to its borders, ³you will have the southern quarter of the Desert of Zin alongside Edom, and your southern border will be from the edge of the Dead Sea eastward. ⁴And your border will turn from the south, to the ascent of Akrabbim, and it will cross to Zin, and its extremities at the south will be at Kadesh-Barnea, and it will excurse to Hazar-Addar and cross to Azmon. ⁵And the border will turn from Azmon to the Brook of Egypt, and its extremities will be to the sea. ⁶And as for your western border, your border will be the Great Sea, as a natural border, and this will be your western border. ⁷And this will be your northern border: from the Great Sea you will mark out a line for yourselves to Mount Hor. ⁸From Mount Hor you will mark out the route to Hamath, and the extremities of the border will be to Zedad. ⁹And the border will excurse to Ziphron, and its extremities will be at Hazar-Enan. This will be your northern border. ¹⁰And you will mark out for yourselves the border eastwards from Hazar-Enan to Shepham. ¹¹And the border will go down from Shepham to Riblah to the east of Ain, and the border will go down and encompass Lake Kinnereth to the east. ¹²And the border will go down the Jordan, and its extremities will be the Dead Sea. This will be your land according to its borders around it.’ ” ¹³And Moses commanded the sons of Israel and said, “This is the land which you will inherit by lot which the Lord has commanded, to be given to the nine and a half tribes. ¹⁴For the tribe of the sons of the Reubenites, according to their paternal house, and the tribe of the sons of the Gadites, according to their paternal house, had received their inheritance, and half of the tribe of Manasseh had received their inheritance. ¹⁵Two and a half tribes had received their inheritance on the other side of the Jordan from the rest, from Jericho eastwards, to the sunrise.” ¹⁶And the Lord spoke to Moses and said, ¹⁷“These are the names of the men who will allot the land to you as an inheritance: Eleazar the priest and Joshua the son of Nun. ¹⁸And you will take one leader per tribe to allot the land. ¹⁹And these are the names of the men: for the tribe of Judah, Caleb the son of Jephunneh. ²⁰And for the tribe of the sons of Simeon: Samuel the son of Ammihud. ²¹And for the tribe of Benjamin: Elidad the son of Chislon. ²²And for the tribe of the sons of Dan, the leader is Bukki the son of Jogli. ²³For the sons of Joseph, for the tribe of the sons of Manasseh, the leader is Hanniel the son of Ephod. ²⁴And for the tribe of the sons of Ephraim, the leader is Kemuel the son Shiphtan. ²⁵And for the tribe of the sons of Zebulun, the leader is Elizaphan the son of Parnach. ²⁶And for the tribe of the sons of Issachar, the leader is Paltiel the son of Azzan. ²⁷And for the tribe of the sons of Asher, the leader is Ahihud the son of Shelomi. ²⁸And for the tribe of the sons of Naphtali, the leader is Pedahel the son of Ammihud.” ²⁹These are those whom the Lord commanded to allot the inheritance to the sons of Israel in the land of Canaan.
