1And the Lord spake with Mosheh, saying:

2Command the sons of Israel, and say to them: When you have entered into the land of Kenaan, that land which shall be divided to you for a possession, the land of Kenaan by its coasts,

3Then your south border shall be from the wilderness of Zin on the frontier of Edom, and your south border shall be from the extremities of the Sea of Salt eastward.

4And your border shall turn from the south to the going up of Akrabbim, and shall pass over to Zin; and the going out of it shall be from the south unto Rekem Giah, and go on to Hazar-Adar, and pass over to Azemon.

5And the border shall turn from Azemon to the stream of Mizraim, and its goings out shall be toward the west (Heb. the sea).

6And for the western border you shall have the Great Sea; this shall be your western border.

7And this shall be your northern border: from the Great Sea you shall appoint for you Mount Hor;

8From Mount Hor you shall appoint to the entrance of Hamath, and the goings forth of the border shall be unto Zedad.

9And the border shall be unto Zaphron, and its goings forth to Ezarenan; this shall be your north border.

10And you shall appoint your eastern border from Ezarenan to Shepham;

11And the border shall go down from Shepham unto Riblah, eastward of the fountain, and the border shall go down and come to the bank of the Sea of Genesar on the east.

12And the border shall go down to the Jordan, and its going out be at the Sea of Salt. This shall be your land with its confines round about.

13And Mosheh commanded the sons of Israel, saying: This shall be the land which you are to possess by lot, which the Lord hath commanded to give to the nine tribes and to the half tribe.

14For the tribe of the Beni Reuben by the house of their fathers, and the tribe of the Beni Gad by the house of their fathers, and the half tribe of Menasheh, have received their inheritance.

15The two tribes and the half tribe have received their inheritance across the Jordan by Jericho towards the east.

16And the Lord spake with Mosheh, saying:

17These are the names of the men who shall apportion the land to you: Elazar the priest, and Jehoshua bar Nun.

18And you shall take of each tribe one prince to apportion the land,

19and these are the names of the men: of the tribe of Jehudah, Kaleb bar Jephuneh;

20of the tribe of the Beni Shemeon, Shemuel bar Ammihud;

21of the tribe of Benjamin, Elidad bar Kiselon;

22of the tribe of the Beni Dan, Rabba Bokki bar Jagli;

23of the Beni-Joseph, of the tribe of the Beni Menasheh, Rabba Haniel bar Ephod;

24of the tribe of the Beni-Ephraim, Rabba Kemuel bar Shiphtan;

25of the tribe of the Beni Zebulon, Rabba Elizaphan bar Parnak;

26of the tribe of the Beni Issakar, Rabba Peltiel bar Ezar;

27And of that of the Beni Asher, Rabba Ahihud bar Shelomi;

28and of that of the Beni Naphtali, Rabba Phadael bar Ammihud.

29These are they whom the Lord commanded to divide the inheritance of the children of Israel in the land of Kenaan.
