BSB

Then the LORD said to Moses,

BSB

“Command the Israelites and say to them: When you enter the land of Canaan, it will be allotted to you as an inheritance with these boundaries:

BSB

Your southern border will extend from the Wilderness of Zin along the border of Edom. On the east, your southern border will run from the end of the Salt Sea,

BSB

cross south of the Ascent of Akrabbim, continue to Zin, and go south of Kadesh-barnea. Then it will go on to Hazar-addar and proceed to Azmon,

BSB

where it will turn from Azmon, join the Brook of Egypt, and end at the Sea.

BSB

Your western border will be the coastline of the Great Sea; this will be your boundary on the west.

BSB

Your northern border will run from the Great Sea directly to Mount Hor,

BSB

and from Mount Hor to Lebo-hamath, then extend to Zedad,

BSB

continue to Ziphron, and end at Hazar-enan. This will be your boundary on the north.

BSB

And your eastern border will run straight from Hazar-enan to Shepham,

BSB

then go down from Shepham to Riblah on the east side of Ain and continue along the slopes east of the Sea of Chinnereth.

BSB

Then the border will go down along the Jordan and end at the Salt Sea. This will be your land, defined by its borders on all sides.”

BSB

So Moses commanded the Israelites, “Apportion this land by lot as an inheritance. The LORD has commanded that it be given to the nine and a half tribes.

BSB

For the tribes of the Reubenites and Gadites, along with the half-tribe of Manasseh, have already received their inheritance.

BSB

These two and a half tribes have received their inheritance across the Jordan from Jericho, toward the sunrise.”

BSB

Then the LORD said to Moses,

BSB

“These are the names of the men who are to assign the land as an inheritance for you: Eleazar the priest and Joshua son of Nun.

BSB

Appoint one leader from each tribe to distribute the land.

BSB

These are their names: Caleb son of Jephunneh from the tribe of Judah;

BSB

Shemuel son of Ammihud from the tribe of Simeon;

BSB

Elidad son of Chislon from the tribe of Benjamin;

BSB

Bukki son of Jogli, a leader from the tribe of Dan;

BSB

Hanniel son of Ephod, a leader from the tribe of Manasseh son of Joseph;

BSB

Kemuel son of Shiphtan, a leader from the tribe of Ephraim;

BSB

Eli-zaphan son of Parnach, a leader from the tribe of Zebulun;

BSB

Paltiel son of Azzan, a leader from the tribe of Issachar;

BSB

Ahihud son of Shelomi, a leader from the tribe of Asher;

BSB

and Pedahel son of Ammihud, a leader from the tribe of Naphtali.”

BSB

These are the ones whom the LORD commanded to apportion the inheritance to the Israelites in the land of Canaan.
