1. Yahweh said to Moses,
2. “Command the Israelites and say to them, ‘When you enter the land of Canaan, this is the land that will fall to you as an inheritance, the land of Canaan with these borders:
3. Your southern side will extend from the wilderness of Zin along the border of Edom. Your southern border will start in the east at the end of the Salt Sea.
4. It will turn south of the Ascent of Akrabbim, pass on to Zin, and run south of Kadesh-barnea. Then it will go out to Hazar-addar and pass on to Azmon.
5. From Azmon the border will turn to the Wadi of Egypt and end at the Sea.
6. For your western border you will have the Great Sea and its coast. This will be your western border.
7. This will be your northern border: from the Great Sea mark out a line to Mount Hor,
8. and from Mount Hor mark it out to Lebo-hamath. The border will reach Zedad.
9. Then the border will go on to Ziphron and end at Hazar-enan. This will be your northern border.
10. For your eastern border mark out a line from Hazar-enan to Shepham.
11. The border will go down from Shepham to Riblah on the east side of Ain. From there the border will go down and continue along the slope east of the Sea of Chinnereth.
12. Then the border will go down along the Jordan and end at the Salt Sea. This will be your land, with its borders all around.’”
13. Moses commanded the Israelites, “This is the land you are to receive as an inheritance by lot, which Yahweh has commanded to be given to the nine and a half tribes.
14. For the tribe of the Reubenites by their ancestral houses, the tribe of the Gadites by their ancestral houses, and the half-tribe of Manasseh have already received their inheritance.
15. These two and a half tribes have received their inheritance on the east side of the Jordan across from Jericho, toward the sunrise.”
16. Yahweh said to Moses,
17. “These are the names of the men who are to divide the land among you as an inheritance: Eleazar the priest and Joshua son of Nun.
18. You are also to appoint one leader from each tribe to help divide the land as an inheritance.
19. These are the names of the men: from the tribe of Judah, Caleb son of Jephunneh;
20. from the tribe of Simeon, Shemuel son of Ammihud;
21. from the tribe of Benjamin, Elidad son of Chislon;
22. from the tribe of Dan, a leader, Bukki son of Jogli;
23. from the descendants of Joseph: from the tribe of Manasseh, a leader, Hanniel son of Ephod;
24. from the tribe of Ephraim, a leader, Kemuel son of Shiphtan;
25. from the tribe of Zebulun, a leader, Elizaphan son of Parnach;
26. from the tribe of Issachar, a leader, Paltiel son of Azzan;
27. from the tribe of Asher, a leader, Ahihud son of Shelomi;
28. from the tribe of Naphtali, a leader, Pedahel son of Ammihud.”
29. These are the men whom Yahweh commanded to divide the inheritance among the Israelites in the land of Canaan.
