Numbers 34:1-29 BSB
[1] Then the LORD said to Moses, [2] “Command the Israelites and say to them: When you enter the land of Canaan, it will be allotted to you as an inheritance with these boundaries: [3] Your southern border will extend from the Wilderness of Zin along the border of Edom. On the east, your southern border will run from the end of the Salt Sea, [4] cross south of the Ascent of Akrabbim, continue to Zin, and go south of Kadesh-barnea. Then it will go on to Hazar-addar and proceed to Azmon, [5] where it will turn from Azmon, join the Brook of Egypt, and end at the Sea. [6] Your western border will be the coastline of the Great Sea; this will be your boundary on the west. [7] Your northern border will run from the Great Sea directly to Mount Hor, [8] and from Mount Hor to Lebo-hamath, then extend to Zedad, [9] continue to Ziphron, and end at Hazar-enan. This will be your boundary on the north. [10] And your eastern border will run straight from Hazar-enan to Shepham, [11] then go down from Shepham to Riblah on the east side of Ain and continue along the slopes east of the Sea of Chinnereth. [12] Then the border will go down along the Jordan and end at the Salt Sea. This will be your land, defined by its borders on all sides.” [13] So Moses commanded the Israelites, “Apportion this land by lot as an inheritance. The LORD has commanded that it be given to the nine and a half tribes. [14] For the tribes of the Reubenites and Gadites, along with the half-tribe of Manasseh, have already received their inheritance. [15] These two and a half tribes have received their inheritance across the Jordan from Jericho, toward the sunrise.” [16] Then the LORD said to Moses, [17] “These are the names of the men who are to assign the land as an inheritance for you: Eleazar the priest and Joshua son of Nun. [18] Appoint one leader from each tribe to distribute the land. [19] These are their names: Caleb son of Jephunneh from the tribe of Judah; [20] Shemuel son of Ammihud from the tribe of Simeon; [21] Elidad son of Chislon from the tribe of Benjamin; [22] Bukki son of Jogli, a leader from the tribe of Dan; [23] Hanniel son of Ephod, a leader from the tribe of Manasseh son of Joseph; [24] Kemuel son of Shiphtan, a leader from the tribe of Ephraim; [25] Eli-zaphan son of Parnach, a leader from the tribe of Zebulun; [26] Paltiel son of Azzan, a leader from the tribe of Issachar; [27] Ahihud son of Shelomi, a leader from the tribe of Asher; [28] and Pedahel son of Ammihud, a leader from the tribe of Naphtali.” [29] These are the ones whom the LORD commanded to apportion the inheritance to the Israelites in the land of Canaan.
