1 The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
2 "Give the children of Israel this command: When you enter the land of Canaan—the land that is to fall to you as an inheritance, the land of Canaan with these boundaries—
3 your southern side will extend from the wilderness of Zin along the side of Edom. On the east your southern boundary will start from the end of the Salt Sea,
4 then turn south of the Scorpion Ascent, pass on to Zin, and end south of Kadesh-barnea. From there it will run to Hazar-addar and on to Azmon.
5 From Azmon the boundary will turn toward the Brook of Egypt and end at the sea.
6 "Your western boundary will be the Great Sea and its coastline; that will be your western boundary.
7 "This will be your northern boundary: from the Great Sea mark it out to Mount Hor,
8 and from Mount Hor mark it out to Lebo-hamath; the boundary will end at Zedad.
9 From there the boundary will run on to Ziphron and end at Hazar-enan. That will be your northern boundary.
10 "For your eastern boundary, mark a line from Hazar-enan to Shepham.
11 The boundary will go down from Shepham to Riblah, east of Ain, and continue down until it meets the slope east of the Sea of Chinnereth.
12 Then the boundary will go down along the Jordan and end at the Salt Sea. This will be your land, with its boundaries on every side."
13 Moses gave the children of Israel this command: "This is the land you are to receive by lot as an inheritance, which the LORD has ordered to be given to the nine and a half tribes.
14 For the tribe of the descendants of Reuben and the tribe of the descendants of Gad, by the house of their fathers, and 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, eastward, toward the sunrise."
16 The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
17 "These are the names of the men who are to apportion the land to you as an inheritance: Eleazar the priest and Joshua son of Nun.
18 Also take one chief from each tribe to apportion the land as an inheritance.
19 These are the names of the men: for the tribe of Judah, Caleb son of Jephunneh;
20 for the tribe of the descendants of Simeon, Shemuel son of Ammihud;
21 for the tribe of Benjamin, Elidad son of Chislon;
22 for the tribe of the descendants of Dan, a chief, Bukki son of Jogli;
23 for the descendants of Joseph: for the tribe of the descendants of Manasseh, a chief, Hanniel son of Ephod,
24 and for the tribe of the descendants of Ephraim, a chief, Kemuel son of Shiphtan;
25 for the tribe of the descendants of Zebulun, a chief, Elizaphan son of Parnach;
26 for the tribe of the descendants of Issachar, a chief, Paltiel son of Azzan;
27 for the tribe of the descendants of Asher, a chief, Ahihud son of Shelomi;
28 for the tribe of the descendants of Naphtali, a chief, Pedahel son of Ammihud."
29 These are the men the LORD commanded to apportion the inheritance to the children of Israel in the land of Canaan.
