1And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
2Command the children of Israel, and say unto them, 1When ye come into 2the land of Canaan; (this is the land that shall fall unto you for an inheritance, even the land of Canaan with the coasts thereof:)
3Then 1your south quarter shall be from the wilderness of Zin along by the coast of Edom, and your south border shall be the outmost coast of the 2salt sea eastward:
4And your border shall turn from the south to the ascent of 1Akrabbim, and pass on to Zin: and the going forth thereof shall be from the south to 2Kadesh-barnea, and shall go on to 3Hazar-addar, and pass on to Azmon:
5And the border shall fetch a compass from Azmon unto the 1river of Egypt, and the goings out of it shall be at 2the sea.
6And as for1the western border, ye shall even have the great sea for a border: this shall be your west border.
7And this shall be your 1north border: from the great sea ye shall point out for you 2mount Hor:
8From mount Hor ye shall point out your border unto 1the entrance of Hamath; and the goings forth of the border shall be to 2Zedad:
9¶ And the border shall go on to Ziphron, and the goings out of it shall be at 1Hazar-enan: this shall be your north border.
10And ye shall point out your 1east border from Hazar-enan to Shepham:
11And the coast shall go down from Shepham to 1Riblah, on the east side of Ain; and the border shall descend, and shall reach unto the aside of the 2sea of Chinnereth eastward:
12And the border shall go down to 1Jordan, and the goings out of it shall be at 2the salt sea: this shall be your land with the coasts thereof round about.
13And Moses commanded the children of Israel, saying, 1This is the land which ye shall inherit by lot, which the Lord commanded to give unto the nine tribes, and to the half tribe:
14For 1the tribe of the children of Reuben according to the house of their fathers, and the tribe of the children of Gad according to the house of their fathers, have received their inheritance; and half the tribe of Manasseh have received their inheritance:
15The two tribes and the half tribe have received their inheritance on this side Jordan near Jericho eastward, toward the sunrising.
16And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
17These are1the names of the men which shall divide the land unto you: 2Eleazar the priest, 3and Joshua the son of Nun.
18And ye shall take one 1prince of every tribe, to divide the land by inheritance.
19And the names of the men are these: Of the tribe of Judah, 1Caleb the son of Jephunneh.
20And of the tribe of the children of Simeon, Shemuel the son of Ammihud.
21Of the tribe of Benjamin, Elidad the son of Chislon.
22And the prince of the tribe of the children of Dan, Bukki the son of Jogli.
