1 Yahweh spoke to Moses and said,1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
2 'Give the Israelites this order. Say: "When you enter the country (Canaan), this will be the countrywhich forms your heritage. This is Canaan as defined by its boundaries: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 "The southern part of your country wil start from the desert of Zin, on the borders of Edom. Yoursouthern boundary wil start on the east at the end of the Salt Sea.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 It wil then turn south towards the Ascent of the Scorpions and go by Zin to end in the south atKadesh-Barnea. It wil then run towards Hazar-Addar and pass through Azmon.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 Kadesh-barnea, and shall go on to Hazar-addar, and pass on to Azmon:
5 From Azmon the boundary wil turn towards the Torrent of Egypt and end at the Sea.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 "Your seaboard wil be on the Great Sea; this will be your western boundary.6 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 wil be as fol ows: you wil draw a line from the Great Sea to Mount Hor,7 And this shall be your north border: from the great sea ye shall point out for you mount Hor:
8 then from Mount Hor you wil draw a line to the Pass of Hamath, and the boundary will end at Zedad.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 From there it wil run on to Ziphron and end at Hazar-Enan. This wil be your northern boundary.9 And the border shall go on to Ziphron, and the goings out of it shall be at Hazar-enan: this shall be your north border.
10 "You will then draw your eastern boundary from Hazar-Enan to Shepham.10 And ye shall point out your east border from Hazar-enan to Shepham:
11 The boundary wil run down from Shepham towards Riblah on the east side of Ain. Further down itwil keep to the eastern shore of the Sea of Chinnereth.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 The frontier wil then fol ow the Jordan and end at the Salt Sea. "Such wil be your country with theboundaries surrounding it." '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 Moses then gave the Israelites this order: 'This is the country, where your heritages wil be assignedby lot, and which Yahweh has ordered to be given to the nine tribes and the half-tribe,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 Reubenites with their families and the tribe of the Gadites with their families havealready received their heritage; the half-tribe of Manasseh has also received its heritage.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 These two tribes and the half-tribe have received their heritage on the other side of the Jordan byJericho, to the east, towards the sunrise.'15 The two tribes and the half tribe have received their inheritance on this side Jordan near Jericho eastward, toward the sunrising.
16 Yahweh spoke to Moses and said:16 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
17 'Here are the names of the men who wil divide the country up for you: the priest Eleazar andJoshua son of Nun,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 you wil take one leader from each tribe to divide the country up into heritages.18 And ye shall take one prince of every tribe, to divide the land by inheritance.
19 Here are the names of these men: 'For the tribe of Judah, Caleb son of Jephunneh;19 And the names of the men are these: Of the tribe of Judah, Caleb the son of Jephunneh.
20 'for the tribe of the Simeonites, Shemuel son of Ammihud;20 And of the tribe of the children of Simeon, Shemuel the son of Ammihud.

23 'for the sons of Joseph: for the tribe of Manasseh, the leader Hanniel son of Ephod;23 The prince of the children of Joseph, for the tribe of the children of Manasseh, Hanniel the son of Ephod.
24 'for the tribe of the Ephraimites, the leader Kemuel son of Shiphtan;24 And the prince of the tribe of the children of Ephraim, Kemuel the son of Shiphtan.
25 'for the tribe of the Zebulunites, the leader Elizaphan son of Parnach;25 And the prince of the tribe of the children of Zebulun, Elizaphan the son of Parnach.
