* "
Command the children of Israel ,
and say to them : "
When you come into the land of Canaan ,
this is the land that shall fall to you as an inheritance--the land of Canaan to its boundaries .
*
Your southern border shall be from the Wilderness of Zin along the border of Edom ;
then your southern border shall extend eastward to the end of the Salt Sea ;
*
your border shall turn from the southern side of the Ascent of Akrabbim ,
continue to Zin ,
and be on the south of Kadesh Barnea ;
then it shall go on to Hazar Addar ,
and continue to Azmon ;
*
the border shall turn from Azmon to the Brook of Egypt ,
and it shall end at the Sea .
* "
As for the western border ,
you shall have the Great Sea for a border ;
this shall be your western border .
* "
And this shall be your northern border :
From the Great Sea you shall mark out your border line to Mount Hor ;
*
from Mount Hor you shall mark out your border to the entrance of Hamath ;
then the direction of the border shall be toward Zedad ;
*
the border shall proceed to Ziphron ,
and it shall end at Hazar Enan .
This shall be your northern border .
* "
You shall mark out your eastern border from Hazar Enan to Shepham ;
*
the border shall go down from Shepham to Riblah on the east side of Ain ;
the border shall go down and reach to the eastern side of the Sea of Chinnereth ;
*
the border shall go down along the Jordan ,
and it shall end at the Salt Sea .
This shall be your land with its surrounding boundaries ."'
*
Then Moses commanded the children of Israel ,
saying : "
This is the land which you shall inherit by lot ,
which the LORD has commanded to give to the nine tribes and to the half-tribe .
*
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 the half-tribe of Manasseh has received its inheritance .
*
The two tribes and the half-tribe have received their inheritance on this side of the Jordan ,
across from Jericho eastward ,
toward the sunrise ."
*
And the LORD spoke to Moses ,
saying ,
* "
These are the names of the men who shall divide the land among you as an inheritance :
Eleazar the priest and Joshua the son of Nun .
*
And you shall take one leader of every tribe to divide the land for the inheritance .
