[1] Then the LORD said to Moses,
[2] “Command the Israelites and say to them: When you enter the land of Canaan, it will be allotted to you as an inheritance with these boundaries:
[3] Your southern border will extend from the Wilderness of Zin along the border of Edom. On the east, your southern border will run from the end of the Salt Sea,
[4] cross south of the Ascent of Akrabbim, continue to Zin, and go south of Kadesh-barnea. Then it will go on to Hazar-addar and proceed to Azmon,
[5] where it will turn from Azmon, join the Brook of Egypt, and end at the Sea.
[6] Your western border will be the coastline of the Great Sea; this will be your boundary on the west.
[7] Your northern border will run from the Great Sea directly to Mount Hor,
[8] and from Mount Hor to Lebo-hamath, then extend to Zedad,
[9] continue to Ziphron, and end at Hazar-enan. This will be your boundary on the north.
[10] And your eastern border will run straight from Hazar-enan to Shepham,
[11] then go down from Shepham to Riblah on the east side of Ain and continue along the slopes 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, defined by its borders on all sides.”
[13] So Moses commanded the Israelites, “Apportion this land by lot as an inheritance. The LORD has commanded that it be given to the nine and a half tribes.
[14] For the tribes of the Reubenites and Gadites, along with the half-tribe of Manasseh, have already received their inheritance.
[15] These two and a half tribes have received their inheritance across the Jordan from Jericho, toward the sunrise.”
[16] Then the LORD said to Moses,
[17] “These are the names of the men who are to assign the land as an inheritance for you: Eleazar the priest and Joshua son of Nun.
[18] Appoint one leader from each tribe to distribute the land.
[19] These are their names: Caleb son of Jephunneh from the tribe of Judah;
[20] Shemuel son of Ammihud from the tribe of Simeon;
[21] Elidad son of Chislon from the tribe of Benjamin;
[22] Bukki son of Jogli, a leader from the tribe of Dan;
[23] Hanniel son of Ephod, a leader from the tribe of Manasseh son of Joseph;
[24] Kemuel son of Shiphtan, a leader from the tribe of Ephraim;
[25] Eli-zaphan son of Parnach, a leader from the tribe of Zebulun;
[26] Paltiel son of Azzan, a leader from the tribe of Issachar;
[27] Ahihud son of Shelomi, a leader from the tribe of Asher;
[28] and Pedahel son of Ammihud, a leader from the tribe of Naphtali.”
[29] These are the ones whom the LORD commanded to apportion the inheritance to the Israelites in the land of Canaan.
