1Yahweh spoke to Moses:
2“Tell the people of Israel: ‘When you enter the land of Canaan, this is the land you will receive as your inheritance, the land of Canaan with its specific borders.
3Your southern border will start from the Zin Desert, running alongside Edom. Your southern border will begin from the eastern end of the Salt Sea.
4Your border will then turn south of the Akrabbim ascent and continue to Zin. It will pass south of Kadesh Barnea, then go to Hazar Addar, and continue to Azmon.
5From Azmon, the border will turn toward the Brook of Egypt and end at the Mediterranean Sea.
6For your western border, you will have the Great Sea and its coastline. This will be your western border.
7This will be your northern border: from the Great Sea, you will mark out Mount Hor for yourselves.
8From Mount Hor, you will mark the border to the entrance of Hamath, and the border will pass by Zedad.
9Then the border will go to Ziphron and end at Hazar Enan. This will be your northern border.
10You will mark out your eastern border from Hazar Enan to Shepham.
11The border will go down from Shepham to Riblah, on the east side of Ain. The border will continue down and reach the eastern side of the Sea of Chinnereth.
12The border will go down to the Jordan River and end at the Salt Sea. This will be your land with its surrounding borders.’”
13Moses commanded the people of Israel, saying, “This is the land you will inherit by lot, which Yahweh has commanded to give to the nine tribes and the half-tribe.
14The tribe of Reuben, according to their family groups, and the tribe of Gad, according to their family groups, and the half-tribe of Manasseh have already received their inheritance.
15These two tribes and the half-tribe have received their inheritance across the Jordan River, east of Jericho, toward the sunrise.”
16Yahweh spoke to Moses:
17“These are the names of the men who will divide the land among you as an inheritance: Eleazar the priest and Joshua son of Nun.
18You must also take one leader from each tribe to help divide the land for inheritance.
19These are the names of the men: From the tribe of Judah, Caleb son of Jephunneh.
20From the tribe of Simeon, Shemuel son of Ammihud.
21From the tribe of Benjamin, Elidad son of Chislon.
22From the tribe of Dan, a leader named Bukki son of Jogli.
23From the descendants of Joseph: from the tribe of Manasseh, a leader named Hanniel son of Ephod.
24From the tribe of Ephraim, Kemuel son of Shiphtan will be a leader.
25From the tribe of Zebulun, Elizaphan son of Parnach will be a leader.
26From the tribe of Issachar, Paltiel son of Azzan will be a leader.
27From the tribe of Asher, Ahihud son of Shelomi will be a leader.
28From the tribe of Naphtali, Pedahel son of Ammihud will be a leader.”
29These are the men Yahweh commanded to divide the inheritance of the land of Canaan among the people of Israel.
