| 1Then the LORD spoke to Moses: | 1The LORD told Moses, |
| 2"Give these instructions to the Israelites, and tell them: 'When you enter Canaan, the land that has been assigned to you as an inheritance, the land of Canaan with its borders, | 2"Issue these orders to the Israelis: 'You're about to enter the land of Canaan. This territory has been apportioned to you as your inheritance: the entire land of Canaan, all the way to its borders.'" |
| 3your southern border will extend from the wilderness of Zin along the Edomite border, and your southern border will run eastward to the extremity of the Salt Sea, | 3"'To your south is the Wilderness of Zin, bordering Edom. Your southern border is to extend east toward the far end of the Dead Sea, |
| 4and then the border will turn from the south to the Scorpion Ascent, continue to Zin, and then its direction will be from the south to Kadesh Barnea. Then it will go to Hazar Addar and pass over to Azmon. | 4then it is to turn southward to the ascent of Akrabbim, cross Zin, and then run south of Kadesh-barnea and proceed from there to Hazar-addar and across to Azmon. |
| 5There the border will turn from Azmon to the Brook of Egypt, and then its direction is to the sea. | 5Then the border is to turn from Azmon toward the wadi of Egypt and from there to the Mediterranean Sea.'" |
| 6"'And for a western border you will have the Great Sea. This will be your western border. | 6"'The western border is to be the Mediterranean Sea. This is to be the western border.'" |
| 7"'And this will be your northern border: From the Great Sea you will draw a line to Mount Hor; | 7"'Your northern border is to extend from the Mediterranean Sea to Mount Hor. |
| 8from Mount Hor you will draw a line to Lebo Hamath, and the direction of the border will be to Zedad. | 8From Mount Hor, you are to mark out the entrance to Hammath, with the border running through Zedad, |
| 9The border will continue to Ziphron, and its direction will be to Hazar Enan. This will be your northern border. | 9then through Ziphron, and then to Hazar-enan. This is to be the northern border.'" |
| 10"'For your eastern border you will draw a line from Hazar Enan to Shepham. | 10"'You are to mark the border on the east from Hazar-enan to Shepham. |
| 11The border will run down from Shepham to Riblah, on the east side of Ain, and the border will descend and reach the eastern side of the Sea of Chinnereth. | 11The border is then to extend from Shepham to Riblah, on the east side of Ain, then to the Sea of Chinnereth on the east. |
| 12Then the border will continue down the Jordan River and its direction will be to the Salt Sea. This will be your land by its borders that surround it.'" | 12The border is to continue along the Jordan River all the way to the Dead Sea. This is to be your land, as measured by its boundaries.'" |
| 13Then Moses commanded the Israelites: "This is the land which you will inherit by lot, which the LORD has commanded to be given to the nine and a half tribes, | 13Moses commanded the Israelis, "You are to inherit this land by lot, just as the LORD commanded to give it to the remaining nine and a half tribes. |
| 14because the tribe of the Reubenites by their families, the tribe of the Gadites by their families, and half of the tribe of Manasseh have received their inheritance. | 14The tribes of Reuben, Gad, and half the tribe of Manasseh, as defined by their ancestral houses, have received their inheritance. |
| 15The two and a half tribes have received their inheritance on this side of the Jordan, east of Jericho, toward the sunrise." | 15These two and a half tribes received their inheritance this side of the Jordan River, east of Jericho, facing the rising sun." |
| 16The LORD said to Moses: | 16Then the LORD told Moses, |
| 17"These are the names of the men who are to allocate the land to you as an inheritance: Eleazar the priest and Joshua son of Nun. | 17"These are the names of the men who are to divide the land for your inheritance: Eleazar the priest and Nun's son Joshua. |
| 18You must take one leader from every tribe to assist in allocating the land as an inheritance. | 18You are to appoint a leader from each tribe to divide the land for inheritance. |
| 19These are the names of the men: from the tribe of Judah, Caleb son of Jephunneh; | 19These are the names of the men: Appoint Jephunneh's son Caleb from the tribe of Judah, |
| 20from the tribe of the Simeonites, Shemuel son of Ammihud; | 20Ammihud's son Shemuel from the tribe of Simeon, |
| 21from the tribe of Benjamin, Elidad son of Kislon; | 21Chislon's son Elidad from the tribe of Benjamin, |
| 22and from the tribe of the Danites, a leader, Bukki son of Jogli. | 22and Jogli's son Bukki is to be leader of the tribe of Dan. |
| 23From the Josephites, Hanniel son of Ephod, a leader from the tribe of Manasseh; | 23From the tribe of Joseph, you are to appoint Ephod's son Hanniel to be leader of the half tribe of Manasseh, |
| 24from the tribe of the Ephraimites, a leader, Kemuel son of Shiphtan; | 24Shiphtan's son Kemuel to be leader of the half tribe of Ephraim, |
| 25from the tribe of the Zebulunites, a leader, Elizaphan son of Parnach; | 25Parnach's son Elizaphan to be leader of the tribe of Zebulun, |
| 26from the tribe of the Issacharites, a leader, Paltiel son of Azzan; | 26Azzan's son Paltiel to be leader of the tribe of Issachar, |
| 27from the tribe of the Asherites, a leader, Ahihud son of Shelomi; | 27Shelomi's son Ahihud to be leader of the tribe of Asher, |
| 28and from the tribe of the Naphtalites, a leader, Pedahel son of Ammihud." | 28and Ammihud's son Pedahel to be leader of the tribe of Naphtali." |
| 29These are the ones whom the LORD commanded to divide up the inheritance among the Israelites in the land of Canaan. | 29These are the ones whom the LORD commanded to divide the inheritance of the Israelis in the land of Canaan. |
