Numbers 34:7-29 ▼

7 ‘And this shall be your north border: you shall draw your border line from the Great Sea to Mount Hor.

8 ‘You shall draw a line from Mount Hor to the Lebo-hamath, and the termination of the border shall be at Zedad;

9 and the border shall proceed to Ziphron, and its termination shall be at Hazar-enan. This shall be your north border.

10 ‘For your eastern border you shall also draw a line from Hazar-enan to Shepham,

11 and the border shall go down from Shepham to Riblah 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 Chinnereth.

12 ‘And 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 all around.’”

13 So Moses commanded the sons of Israel, saying, “This is the land that you are to apportion by lot among you as a possession, which the LORD has commanded to give to the nine and a half tribes.

14 “For 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.

15 “The two and a half tribes have received their possession across the Jordan opposite Jericho, eastward toward the sunrising.”

16 Then the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

17 “These are the names of the men who shall apportion the land to you for inheritance: Eleazar the priest and Joshua the son of Nun.

18 “And you shall take one leader of every tribe to apportion the land for inheritance.

19 “And these are the names of the men: of the tribe of Judah, Caleb the son of Jephunneh.

20 “And of the tribe of the sons of Simeon, Samuel the son of Ammihud.

21 “Of the tribe of Benjamin, Elidad the son of Chislon.

22 “And of the tribe of the sons of Dan a leader, Bukki the son of Jogli.

23 “Of the sons of Joseph: of the tribe of the sons of Manasseh a leader, Hanniel the son of Ephod.

24 “And of the tribe of the sons of Ephraim a leader, Kemuel the son of Shiphtan.

25 “And of the tribe of the sons of Zebulun a leader, Elizaphan the son of Parnach.

26 “And of the tribe of the sons of Issachar a leader, Paltiel the son of Azzan.

27 “And of the tribe of the sons of Asher a leader, Ahihud the son of Shelomi.

28 “And of the tribe of the sons of Naphtali a leader, Pedahel the son of Ammihud.”

29 These are those whom the LORD commanded to apportion the inheritance to the sons of Israel in the land of Canaan.
