¹³Thus 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 ²^aswore 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 ¹^bZedad;

¹⁶¹^aHamath, 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 ¹^bLebo-hamath. This is the west side.
