Then the LORD spoke
to Moses
, saying
,
"Command the sons
of Israel
and say
to them, `When
you enter
athe land
of Canaan
, this
is the land
that shall fall
to you as an inheritance
, even the land
of Canaan
according to its borders
.
` aYour southern 1sector
shall 2extend
from the wilderness
of Zin
along
the side
of Edom
, and your southern
border
shall 2extend
from the end
of the Salt
Sea
beastward
.
`Then your border shall turn
direction from the south
to the ascent
of Akrabbim
and 1continue
to Zin
, and its 2termination
shall be to the south
of aKadesh-barnea
; and it shall 3reach
Hazaraddar
and 1continue
to Azmon
.
`The border shall turn
direction from Azmon
to the brook
of Egypt
, and its termination
shall be at athe sea
.
`As for the western border
, you shall have
the Great
Sea
, that is, its 1coastline
; this
shall be your west
border
.
` aAnd this shall be your north
border
: you shall draw
your border line
from the Great
Sea
to Mount
Hor
.
`You shall draw a line
from Mount
Hor
to athe 1Lebo-hamath
, and the termination
of the border
shall be at Zedad
;
and the border shall proceed
to Ziphron
, and its termination
shall be at Hazar-enan
. This
shall be your north
border
.
`For your eastern border
you shall also draw
a line
from Hazar-enan
to Shepham
,
and the border shall go
down
from Shepham
to aRiblah
on the east
side
of Ain
; and the border
shall go
down
and reach
to the 1slope
on the east
side
of the Sea
of bChinnereth
.
`And the border shall go
down
to the Jordan
and its termination
shall be at the Salt
Sea
. This
shall be your land
according to its borders
all
around
.' "
So Moses commanded
the sons
of Israel
, saying
, " aThis
is the land
that you are to apportion
by lot
among you as a possession
, which
the LORD
has commanded
to give
to the nine
and a half
tribes
.
" aFor the tribe of the sons
of Reuben
have received
theirs according to their fathers'
households
, and the tribe
of the sons
of Gad
according to their fathers'
households
, and the half-tribe
of Manasseh
have received
their possession
.
"The two and a half
tribes
have received
their possession
across
the Jordan
opposite Jericho
, eastward
toward the sunrising
."
Then the LORD spoke
to Moses
, saying
,
" aThese are the names
of the men
who
shall apportion
the land
to you for inheritance
: Eleazar
the priest
and Joshua
the son
of Nun
.
"You shall take one
leader
of every tribe
to apportion
the land
for inheritance
.
"These are the names
of the men
: of the tribe
of aJudah
, bCaleb
the son
of Jephunneh
.
"Of the tribe of the sons
of aSimeon
, Samuel
the son
of Ammihud
.
"Of the tribe of aBenjamin
, Elidad
the son
of Chislon
.
"Of the tribe of the sons
of Dan
a leader
, Bukki
the son
of Jogli
.
"Of the sons of Joseph
: of the tribe
of the sons
of Manasseh
a leader
, Hanniel
the son
of Ephod
.
"Of the tribe of the sons
of Ephraim
a leader
, Kemuel
the son
of Shiphtan
.
"Of the tribe of the sons
of Zebulun
a leader
, Elizaphan
the son
of Parnach
.
"Of the tribe of the sons
of Issachar
a leader
, Paltiel
the son
of Azzan
.
"Of the tribe of the sons
of Asher
a leader
, Ahihud
the son
of Shelomi
.
"Of the tribe of the sons
of Naphtali
a leader
, Pedahel
the son
of Ammihud
."
These are those whom
the LORD
commanded
to apportion
the inheritance
to the sons
of Israel
in the land
of Canaan
.
