1 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,

2 “Command the children of Israel, and
tell them, ‘When you come into the land
of Canaan (this is the land that shall fall
to you for an inheritance, even the land of
Canaan according to its borders),

3 then your south quarter shall be from
the wilderness of Zin along by the side of
Edom, andyour southborder shallbe from
the end of the Salt Sea eastward.

4 Your border shall turn about southward of the ascent of Akrabbim, and pass
along to Zin; and it shall pass southward of
Kadesh Barnea; and it shall go from there
to Hazar Addar, and pass along to Azmon.

5 The border shall turn about from Azmon to the brook of Egypt, and it shall end
at the sea.

6 “ ‘For the western border, you shall
have the great sea and its border. This
shall be your west border.

7 “ ‘This shall be your north border: from
the great sea you shall mark out for yourselves Mount Hor.

8 From Mount Hor you shall mark out to
the entrance of Hamath; and the border
shall pass by Zedad.

9 Then the border shall go to Ziphron,
and it shall end at Hazar Enan. This shall
be your north border.

10 “ ‘You shall mark out your east border
from Hazar Enan to Shepham.

11 The border shall go down from Shepham to Riblah, on the east side of Ain. The
border shall go down, and shall reach to
the side of the sea of Chinnereth eastward.

12 The border shall go down to the Jordan, and end at the Salt Sea. This shall be
your land according to its borders around
it.’ ”

13 Moses commanded the children of Israel, saying, “This is the land which you
shall inherit by lot, which Yahweh has
commanded to give to the nine tribes, and
to the half-tribe;

14 for the tribe of the children of Reuben
according to their fathers’houses,the tribe
of the children of Gad according to their
fathers’ houses, and the half-tribe of Manasseh have received their inheritance.

15 The two tribes and the half-tribe have
received their inheritance beyond the Jordan at Jericho eastward, toward the sunrise.”
