1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
2 Command
the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye come into the land of
Canaan; (this is the land that shall fall unto you for
an inheritance, even the land of Canaan with the coasts
thereof:)
3 Then
your 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 salt sea
eastward:
4 And
your border shall turn from the south to the ascent of Akrabbim, and pass on to
Zin: and the going forth thereof shall be from the south to Kadeshbarnea, and
shall go on to Hazaraddar, and pass on to Azmon:
5 And
the border shall fetch a compass from Azmon unto the river of Egypt, and the
goings out of it shall be at the sea.
6 And as for the
western border, ye shall even have the great sea for a border: this shall be
your west border.
7 And
this shall be your north border: from the great sea ye shall point out for you
mount Hor:
8 From
mount Hor ye shall point out your border unto the entrance of Hamath; and the
goings forth of the border shall be to Zedad:
9 And
the border shall go on to Ziphron, and the goings out of it shall be at
Hazarenan: this shall be your north border.
10 And
ye shall point out your east border from Hazarenan to Shepham:
11 And
the coast shall go down from Shepham to Riblah, on the east side of Ain; and
the border shall descend, and shall reach unto the side of the sea of
Chinnereth eastward:
12 And
the border shall go down to Jordan, and the goings out of it shall be at the
salt sea: this shall be your land with the coasts thereof round about.
13 And
Moses commanded the children of Israel, saying, This is the
land which ye shall inherit by lot, which the LORD commanded to give unto the
nine tribes, and to the half tribe:
14 For
the 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:
15 The
two tribes and the half tribe have received their inheritance on this side
Jordan near Jericho
eastward, toward the sunrising.
16 And
the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
17 These are the
names of the men which shall divide the land unto you: Eleazar the priest, and
Joshua the son of Nun.
18 And
ye shall take one prince of every tribe, to divide the land by inheritance.
19 And
the names of the men are these: Of the tribe of Judah, Caleb
the son of Jephunneh.
20 And
of the tribe of the children of Simeon, Shemuel the son of Ammihud.
21 Of
the tribe of Benjamin, Elidad the son of Chislon.
22 And
the prince of the tribe of the children of Dan, Bukki the son of Jogli.
23 The
prince of the children of Joseph, for the tribe of the children of Manasseh,
Hanniel the son of Ephod.
24 And
the prince of the tribe of the children of Ephraim, Kemuel the son of Shiphtan.
25 And
the prince of the tribe of the children of Zebulun, Elizaphan the son of
Parnach.
26 And
the prince of the tribe of the children of Issachar, Paltiel the son of Azzan.
27 And
the prince of the tribe of the children of Asher, Ahihud the son of Shelomi.
28 And
the prince of the tribe of the children of Naphtali, Pedahel the son of
Ammihud.
29 These are they whom
the LORD commanded to divide the inheritance unto the children of Israel in the
land of Canaan.
