Boundaries and Division of the Land

13 Thus says the Lord 1God, “This shall be the aboundary by which you shall divide the land for an inheritance among the twelve tribes of Israel; Joseph shall have two bportions.

14 “You shall divide it for an inheritance, each one 1equally with the other; for I 2aswore to give it to your forefathers, and this land shall fall to you 3as an inheritance.

15 “This shall be the boundary of the land: on the anorth side, from the Great Sea by the way of Hethlon, to the entrance of 1bZedad;

16 1aHamath, Berothah, Sibraim, which is between the border of bDamascus and the border of Hamath; Hazer-hatticon, which is by the border of Hauran.

17 “The boundary shall 1extend from the sea to aHazar-enan at the border of Damascus, and on the north toward the north is the border of Hamath. This is the north side.

18 “The aeast side, from between Hauran, Damascus, bGilead and the land of Israel, shall be the cJordan; from the north border to the eastern sea you shall measure. This is the east side.

19 “The asouth side toward the south shall extend from bTamar as far as the waters of cMeribath-kadesh, to the dbrook of Egypt and to the eGreat Sea. This is the south side toward the south.

20 “The awest side shall be the Great Sea, from the south border to a point opposite 1bLebo-hamath. This is the west side.

21 “So you shall divide this land among yourselves according to the tribes of Israel.

22 “You shall divide it by alot for an inheritance among yourselves and among the baliens who stay in your midst, who bring forth sons in your midst. And they shall be to you as the native-born among the sons of Israel; they shall be allotted an cinheritance with you among the tribes of Israel.

23 “And in the tribe with which the alien stays, there you shall give him his inheritance,” declares the Lord God.
