1 The LORD spoke to Moses, saying:

And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

2 Command the Israelites and tell them: When you enter the land of Canaan, this is the land that will be allotted to you as an inheritance—the land of Canaan with its boundaries:

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 Your southern boundary will begin at the Wilderness of Zin along the border of Edom, and from the eastern end of the Salt Sea.

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 Then the boundary will turn south to the ascent of Akrabbim, continue to Zin, and extend southward to Kadesh-barnea. It will then go out to Hazar-addar and proceed to Azmon.

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 From Azmon, the boundary will turn to the Wadi of Egypt and end at the Mediterranean Sea.

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 Your western boundary will be the coastline of the Mediterranean Sea; this will be your boundary to the west.

And as for the western border, ye shall even have the great sea for a border: this shall be your west border.

7 Your northern boundary will run from the Mediterranean Sea to Mount Hor.

And this shall be your north border: from the great sea ye shall point out for you mount Hor:

8 From Mount Hor, you will mark out the boundary to the entrance of Hamath, and the boundary will end at Zedad.

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 The boundary will then go out to Ziphron and end at Hazar-enan. This will be your northern boundary.

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 For your eastern boundary, you are to draw a line from Hazar-enan to Shepham.

And ye shall point out your east border from Hazarenan to Shepham:

11 The boundary will descend from Shepham to Riblah on the east side of Ain and continue downward along the slopes eastward to the Sea of Galilee.

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 The boundary will then follow down the Jordan River and end at the Salt Sea. This will define the land with its borders on all sides.

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 Moses commanded the Israelites, saying: This is the land you are to inherit by lot, which the LORD has commanded to give to the nine and a half tribes.

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 Reubenites by their ancestral clans, the tribe of the Gadites by their ancestral clans, and half the tribe of Manasseh have taken their inheritance.

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 These two and a half tribes have received their inheritance beyond the Jordan, east of Jericho, toward the sunrise.

The two tribes and the half tribe have received their inheritance on this side Jordan near Jericho eastward, toward the sunrising.

16 The LORD spoke to Moses, saying:

And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

17 These are the names of the men who shall divide the land for you as an inheritance: Eleazar the priest and Joshua son of Nun.

These are the names of the men which shall divide the land unto you: Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun.

18 You shall also appoint one leader from each tribe to divide the land as an inheritance.

And ye shall take one prince of every tribe, to divide the land by inheritance.

19 These are the names of the leaders: From the tribe of Judah, Caleb son of Jephunneh.

And the names of the men are these: Of the tribe of Judah, Caleb the son of Jephunneh.

20 From the tribe of Simeon, Shemuel son of Ammihud.

And of the tribe of the children of Simeon, Shemuel the son of Ammihud.

21 From the tribe of Benjamin, Elidad son of Chislon.

Of the tribe of Benjamin, Elidad the son of Chislon.

22 From the tribe of Dan, the leader Bukki son of Jogli.

And the prince of the tribe of the children of Dan, Bukki the son of Jogli.

23 From the sons of Joseph: from the tribe of Manasseh, the leader Hanniel son of Ephod.

The prince of the children of Joseph, for the tribe of the children of Manasseh, Hanniel the son of Ephod.

24 From the tribe of Ephraim, the leader Kemuel son of Shiphtan.

And the prince of the tribe of the children of Ephraim, Kemuel the son of Shiphtan.

25 From the tribe of Zebulun, the leader Elizaphan son of Parnach.

And the prince of the tribe of the children of Zebulun, Elizaphan the son of Parnach.

26 From the tribe of Issachar, the leader Paltiel son of Azzan.

29 These are the men whom the LORD commanded to divide the inheritance among the Israelites in the land of Canaan.

These are they whom the LORD commanded to divide the inheritance unto the children of Israel in the land of Canaan.
