1Then the LORD said to Moses,1The LORD spoke to Moses,
2“Give these instructions to the Israelites: When you come into the land of Canaan, which I am giving you as your special possession, these will be the boundaries.2"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 borders:
3The southern portion of your country will extend from the wilderness of Zin, along the edge of Edom. The southern boundary will begin on the east at the Dead Sea.3Your southern side will be from the Wilderness of Zin along the boundary of Edom. Your southern border on the east will begin at the east end of the Dead Sea.
4It will then run south past Scorpion Pass in the direction of Zin. Its southernmost point will be Kadesh-barnea, from which it will go to Hazar-addar, and on to Azmon.4Your border will turn south of the Scorpions' Ascent, proceed to Zin, and end south of Kadesh-barnea. It will go to Hazar-addar and proceed to Azmon.
5From Azmon the boundary will turn toward the Brook of Egypt and end at the Mediterranean Sea.5The border will turn from Azmon to the Brook of Egypt, where it will end at the Mediterranean Sea.
6“Your western boundary will be the coastline of the Mediterranean Sea.6Your western border will be the coastline of the Mediterranean Sea; this will be your western border.
7“Your northern boundary will begin at the Mediterranean Sea and run east to Mount Hor,7This will be your northern border: From the Mediterranean Sea draw a line to Mount Hor;
8then to Lebo-hamath, and on through Zedad8from Mount Hor draw a line to the entrance of Hamath, and the border will reach Zedad.
9and Ziphron to Hazar-enan. This will be your northern boundary.9Then the border will go to Ziphron and end at Hazar-enan. This will be your northern border.
10“The eastern boundary will start at Hazar-enan and run south to Shepham,10For your eastern border, draw a line from Hazar-enan to Shepham.
11then down to Riblah on the east side of Ain. From there the boundary will run down along the eastern edge of the Sea of Galilee,11The border will go down from Shepham to Riblah east of Ain. It will continue down and reach the eastern slope of the Sea of Chinnereth.
12and then along the Jordan River to the Dead Sea. These are the boundaries of your land.”12Then the border will go down to the Jordan and end at the Dead Sea. This will be your land defined by its borders on all sides."
13Then Moses told the Israelites, “This territory is the homeland you are to divide among yourselves by sacred lot. The LORD has commanded that the land be divided among the nine and a half remaining tribes.13So Moses commanded the Israelites, "This is the land you are to receive by lot as an inheritance, which the LORD commanded to be given to the nine and a half tribes.
14The families of the tribes of Reuben, Gad, and half the tribe of Manasseh have already received their grants of land14For the tribe of Reuben's descendants and the tribe of Gad's descendants have received their inheritance according to their ancestral families, and half the tribe of Manasseh has received its inheritance.
15on the east side of the Jordan River, across from Jericho toward the sunrise.” Leaders to Divide the Land15The two and a half tribes have received their inheritance across the Jordan east of Jericho, toward the sunrise."
16And the LORD said to Moses,16The LORD spoke to Moses,
17“Eleazar the priest and Joshua son of Nun are the men designated to divide the grants of land among the people.17"These are the names of the men who are to distribute the land as an inheritance for you: the priest Eleazar and Joshua son of Nun.
18Enlist one leader from each tribe to help them with the task.18Take one leader from each tribe to distribute the land.
19These are the tribes and the names of the leaders: Tribe Leader Judah Caleb son of Jephunneh19These are the names of the men: Caleb son of Jephunneh from the tribe of Judah;
20Simeon Shemuel son of Ammihud20Shemuel son of Ammihud from the tribe of Simeon's descendants;
21Benjamin Elidad son of Kislon21Elidad son of Chislon from the tribe of Benjamin;
22Dan Bukki son of Jogli22Bukki son of Jogli, a leader from the tribe of Dan's descendants;
23Manasseh son of Joseph Hanniel son of Ephod23from the sons of Joseph: Hanniel son of Ephod, a leader from the tribe of Manasseh's descendants,
24Ephraim son of Joseph Kemuel son of Shiphtan24Kemuel son of Shiphtan, a leader from the tribe of Ephraim's descendants;
25Zebulun Elizaphan son of Parnach25Eli-zaphan son of Parnach, a leader from the tribe of Zebulun's descendants;
