34 The Lord said to Moses, 2 “Command the Israelites and say to them: ‘When you enter Canaan,o the land that will be allotted to you as an inheritancep is to have these boundaries:q
3 “ ‘Your southern side will include some of the Desert of Zinr along the border of Edom. Your southern boundary will start in the east from the southern end of the Dead Sea,s 4 cross south of Scorpion Pass,t continue on to Zin and go south of Kadesh Barnea.u Then it will go to Hazar Addar and over to Azmon,v 5 where it will turn, join the Wadi of Egyptw and end at the Mediterranean Sea.
6 “ ‘Your western boundary will be the coast of the Mediterranean Sea.x This will be your boundary on the west.y
7 “ ‘For your northern boundary,z run a line from the Mediterranean Sea to Mount Hora 8 and from Mount Hor to Lebo Hamath.b Then the boundary will go to Zedad, 9 continue to Ziphron and end at Hazar Enan. This will be your boundary on the north.
10 “ ‘For your eastern boundary,c run a line from Hazar Enan to Shepham. 11 The boundary will go down from Shepham to Riblahd on the east side of Aine and continue along the slopes east of the Sea of Galilee.a f 12 Then the boundary will go down along the Jordan and end at the Dead Sea.
“ ‘This will be your land, with its boundaries on every side.’ ”
13 Moses commanded the Israelites: “Assign this land by lotg as an inheritance.h The Lord has ordered that it be given to the nine and a half tribes, 14 because the families of the tribe of Reuben, the tribe of Gad and the half-tribe of Manasseh have received their inheritance.i 15 These two and a half tribes have received their inheritance east of the Jordan across from Jericho, toward the sunrise.”
16 The Lord said to Moses, 17 “These are the names of the men who are to assign the land for you as an inheritance: Eleazar the priest and Joshuaj son of Nun. 18 And appoint one leader from each tribe to helpk assign the land.l 19 These are their names:m
Calebn son of Jephunneh,
from the tribe of Judah;o
from the tribe of Simeon;p
from the tribe of Benjamin;q
the leader from the tribe of Dan;
the leader from the tribe of Manassehr son of Joseph;
the leader from the tribe of Ephraims son of Joseph;
the leader from the tribe of Zebulun;t
the leader from the tribe of Issachar;
the leader from the tribe of Asher;u
the leader from the tribe of Naphtali.”
29 These are the men the Lord commanded to assign the inheritance to the Israelites in the land of Canaan.v
