13ThusH3541 saysH559 the LordH136 1GodH3068, “ThisH2088 shall be the 2boundaryH1366 by whichH834 you shall divideH5157 the landH776 for an inheritanceH5157 among the twelveH8147H6240 tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478; JosephH3130 shall have twoH8147 3portionsH2256. 14You shall divideH5157 it for an inheritanceH5157, eachH376 oneH376 4equally with the otherH251; for I 56sworeH5375H3027 to giveH5414 it to your forefathersH1, and thisH2088 landH776 shall fallH5307 to you 7as an inheritanceH5159.
15“ThisH2088 shall be the boundaryH1366 of the landH776: on the 8northH6828 sideH6285, from the GreatH1419 SeaH3220 by the wayH1870 of HethlonH2855, to the entranceH935 of 910ZedadH6657; 161112HamathH2574, BerothahH1268, SibraimH5453, whichH834 is betweenH996 the borderH1366 of 13DamascusH1834 and the borderH1366 of HamathH2574; Hazer-hatticonH2694, whichH834 is by the borderH1366 of HauranH2362. 17The boundaryH1366 shall 14extendH1961 from the seaH3220 to 15Hazar-enanH2703 at the borderH1366 of DamascusH1834, and on the northH6828 toward the northH6828 is the borderH1366 of HamathH2574. This is the northH6828 sideH6285.
18“The 16eastH6921 sideH6285, from betweenH996 HauranH2362, DamascusH1834, 17GileadH1568 and the landH776 of IsraelH3478, shall be the 18JordanH3383; from the north borderH1366 to the easternH6931 seaH3220 you shall measureH4058. This is the eastH6921 sideH6285.
19“The 19southH5045 sideH6285 toward the southH8486 shall extend from 20TamarH8559 as farH5704 as the watersH4325 of 21Meribath-kadeshH4809H6946, to the 22brookH5158 of Egypt and to the 23GreatH1419 SeaH3220. This is the southH8486 sideH6285 toward the southH5045.
20“The 24westH3220 sideH6285 shall be the GreatH1419 SeaH3220, from the south borderH1366 to a point oppositeH5227 2526Lebo-hamathH935. ThisH2088 is the westH3220 sideH6285.
21“So you shall divideH2505 thisH2088 landH776 among yourselves according to the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478. 22You shall divideH5307 it by 27lotH5307 for an inheritanceH5159 among yourselves and among the 28aliensH1616 who stayH1481 in your midstH8432, whoH834 bringH3205 forthH3205 sonsH1121 in your midstH8432. And they shall be to you as the native-bornH249 among the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478; they shall be allottedH5307 an 29inheritanceH5159 with you amongH8432 the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478. 23And in the tribeH7626 with whichH834 the alienH1616 staysH1481, thereH8033 you shall giveH5414 him his inheritanceH5159,” declaresH5002 the LordH136 GodH3068.
