“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.” (Nu 34:1-29 AV)
