Numbers 34:7-29

7‘1And this shall be your northern border: you shall draw your boundary from the Great Sea to Mount Hor. 8You shall draw a boundary from Mount Hor to 2the 3Lebo-hamath, and the termination of the border shall be at Zedad; 9and the border shall proceed to Ziphron, and its termination shall be at Hazar-enan. This shall be your northern border.

10‘For your eastern border you shall also draw a boundary from Hazar-enan to Shepham, 11and the border shall go down from Shepham to 4Riblah on the east side of Ain; and the border shall go down and reach to the slope on the east side of the Sea of 5Chinnereth. 12And the border shall go down to the Jordan, and its termination shall be at the Salt Sea. This shall be your land according to its borders on all sides.’”

13So Moses commanded the sons of Israel, saying, “6This is the land that you are to possess by lot, which the Lord has commanded to give to the nine and a half tribes. 147For the tribe of the sons of Reuben have received theirs according to their fathers’ households, and the tribe of the sons of Gad according to their fathers’ households, and the half-tribe of Manasseh have received their possession. 15The two and a half tribes have received their possession across the Jordan opposite Jericho, eastward toward the sunrise.”

16Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 17“8These are the names of the men who shall assign the land to you as an inheritance: Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun. 18And you shall take one leader of each tribe to assign the land as an inheritance. 19These are the names of the men: of the tribe of 9Judah, 10Caleb the son of Jephunneh. 20Of the tribe of the sons of 11Simeon, Samuel the son of Ammihud. 21Of the tribe of 12Benjamin, Elidad the son of Chislon. 22And of the tribe of the sons of Dan, a leader, Bukki the son of Jogli. 23Of the sons of Joseph: of the tribe of the sons of Manasseh, a leader, Hanniel the son of Ephod. 24Of the tribe of the sons of Ephraim, a leader, Kemuel the son of Shiphtan. 25Of the tribe of the sons of Zebulun, a leader, Elizaphan the son of Parnach. 26Of the tribe of the sons of Issachar, a leader, Paltiel the son of Azzan. 27Of the tribe of the sons of Asher, a leader, Ahihud the son of Shelomi. 28Of the tribe of the sons of Naphtali, a leader, Pedahel the son of Ammihud.” 29These are the ones whom the Lord commanded to apportion the inheritance to the sons of Israel in the land of Canaan.
