1And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
2“Command the children of Israel, and say to them, “When you come into the land of Canaan; (this is the land that shall fall unto you for an inheritance, even the land of Canaan with its borders),
3Then your south quarter shall be from the wilderness of Zin along by the border of Edom, and your south border shall be the far end of the Salt Sea eastward:
4And your border shall turn from the south to the ascent of Akrabbim, and pass on to Zin: and its going forth shall be from the south to Kadesh-barnea, and shall go on to Hazar-addar, and pass on to Azmon;
5And the border shall go around from Azmon to the river of Egypt, and the termination of it shall be at the sea.
6And as for the western border, you shall have the great sea for a border; this shall be your west border.
7And this shall be your north border: from the great sea you shall mark out for you Mount Hor:
8From Mount Hor you shall mark out your border unto the entrance of Hamath; and the end of the border shall be to Zedad:
9And the border shall go on to Ziphron, and the termination of it shall be at Hazar-enan; this shall be your north border.
10And you shall mark out your east border from Hazar-enan to Shepham;
11And the border 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;
12And the border shall go down to the Jordan, and the end of it shall be at the Salt Sea; this shall be your land with its borders round about.”
13And Moses commanded the children of Israel, saying, “This is the land which you shall inherit by lot, which the LORD commanded to give to the nine tribes, and to the half tribe:
14For the tribe of the children of Reuben, and the tribe of the children of Gad, and half the tribe of Manasseh have received their inheritance:
15The two tribes and the half tribe have received their inheritance on this side of the Jordan near Jericho eastward.”
16And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
17“These are the names of the men who shall divide the land unto you: Eleazar, the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun.
18And you shall take one prince of every tribe, to divide the land by inheritance.
19And the names of the men are these: Of the tribe of Judah, Caleb, the son of Jephunneh.
20And of the tribe of the children of Simeon, Shemuel, the son of Ammihud.
21Of the tribe of Benjamin, Elidad the son of Chislon.
22And the prince of the tribe of the children of Dan, Bukki, the son of Jogli.
23The prince of the children of Joseph, for the tribe of the children of Manasseh, Hanniel, the son of Ephod.
24And the prince of the tribe of the children of Ephraim, Kemuel, the son of Shiphtan.
25And the prince of the tribe of the children of Zebulun, Elizaphan, the son of Parnach.
26And the prince of the tribe of the children of Issachar, Paltiel, the son of Azzan.
27And the prince of the tribe of the children of Asher, Ahihud, the son of Shelomi.
28And the prince of the tribe of the children of Naphtali, Pedahel, the son of Ammihud.
29These are they whom the LORD commanded to divide the inheritance unto the children of Israel in the land of Canaan. Easy Reader Bible: Purple Letter Edition © 2023 by Jim Musser. Used by Permission. All rights Reserved. Bible Hub |
