The Borders of Canaan
1And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying: 2#Ge 17:8; Ps 105:11Command the children of Israel, and say to them: When you are going into the land of Canaan, this is the land that will fall to you for an inheritance, the land of Canaan with its borders.
3#Ge 14:3; Eze 47:13Then your south side will be from the Wilderness of Zin along by the border of Edom, and your south border will be the end of the Dead Sea to the east. 4#Nu 32:8And your border will turn from the south to the Ascent of Akrabbim, and continue to Zin, and the end of it will be from the south to Kadesh Barnea. Then it will continue to Hazar Addar, and pass on to Azmon. 5#Jos 15:4; Ge 15:18; Jos 15:47And the border will circle around from Azmon to the Brook of Egypt, and the end of it will be at the Mediterranean Sea.
6For the western border, you will have the Mediterranean Sea and its coastline. This will be your western border.
7#Nu 33:37This will be your northern border: From the Mediterranean Sea you will mark a line to Mount Hor; 8#Nu 13:21; 2Ki 14:25from Mount Hor you will mark a line of your border to Lebo Hamath, and the limits of the border will be to Zedad. 9#Eze 47:17And the border will go on to Ziphron, and the limits of it will be at Hazar Enan. This will be your northern border.
10You will mark a line for your eastern border from Hazar Enan to Shepham. 11#Dt 3:17; 2Ki 23:33And the border will go down from Shepham to Riblah, on the east side of Ain, and the border will go down and will reach the side of the Sea of Kinnereth to the east. 12#Nu 34:3And the border will go down to the Jordan, and the limits of it will be at the Dead Sea.
This will be your land with its borders all around.
13Moses commanded the children of Israel, saying: This is the land which you will possess by lot, which the Lord commanded to give to the nine tribes, and to the half-tribe 14#Nu 32:33because the tribe of the children of Reuben by the house of their fathers and the tribe of the children of Gad by the house of their fathers have received their inheritance, and half the tribe of Manasseh has received their inheritance. 15The two tribes and the half-tribe have received their inheritance on this side of the Jordan near Jericho to the east, toward the sunrise.
The Leaders to Divide the Land
16The Lord spoke to Moses, saying: 17#Jos 14:1; 19:51These are the names of the men who will divide the land for you: Eleazar the priest and Joshua the son of Nun. 18You will take one leader of each tribe to divide the land by inheritance. 19#Nu 26:65; 13:30These are the names of the men:
of the tribe of Judah,
Caleb the son of Jephunneh;
20of the tribe of the children of Simeon,
Shemuel the son of Ammihud;
21of the tribe of Benjamin,
Elidad the son of Kislon;
22the leader of the tribe of the children of Dan,
Bukki the son of Jogli;
23the leader of the children of Joseph, for the tribe of the children of Manasseh,
Hanniel the son of Ephod;
24the leader of the tribe of the children of Ephraim,
Kemuel the son of Shiphtan;
25the leader of the tribe of the children of Zebulun,
Elizaphan the son of Parnak;
26the leader of the tribe of the children of Issachar,
Paltiel the son of Azzan;
27the leader of the tribe of the children of Asher,
Ahihud the son of Shelomi;
28the leader of the tribe of the children of Naphtali,
Pedahel the son of Ammihud.
29These are the ones whom the Lord commanded to divide the inheritance among the children of Israel in the land of Canaan.

The Borders of Canaan
1The Lord spoke to Moses. He said, 2“Speak to the Israelites and tell them this: You will soon enter the land of Canaan. I am giving you that land to be your very own. These will be its borders: 3On the south, you will get part of the desert of Zin near Edom. Your southern border will start at the south end of the Dead Sea. 4It will cross south of Scorpion Pass. It will go through the town of Zin to Kadesh Barnea and then to Hazar Addar, and then it will pass through Azmon. 5From Azmon the border will go to the River of Egypt,#34:5 River of Egypt That is, the stream called “Wadi El-Arish.” and it will end at the Mediterranean Sea. 6Your western border will be the Mediterranean Sea. 7Your northern border will begin at the Mediterranean Sea and go to Mount Hor. 8From Mount Hor it will go to Lebo Hamath, and then to Zedad. 9Then that border will go to Ziphron and it will end at Hazar Enan. So that will be your northern border. 10Your eastern border will begin at Enan and it will go to Shepham. 11From Shepham the border will go east of Ain to Riblah. The border will continue along the hills by Lake Galilee.#34:11 Lake Galilee Literally, “Kinnereth Lake.” 12Then the border will continue along the Jordan River. It will end at the Dead Sea. These are the borders around your country.”
13So Moses gave this command to the Israelites, “That is the land that you will get. You will throw lots to divide the land among the nine tribes and half the tribe of Manasseh, as the Lord commanded. 14The tribes of Reuben and Gad, and half the tribe of Manasseh have already taken their land. 15These two and a half tribes took the land near Jericho—they took the land east of the Jordan River.”
16Then the Lord spoke to Moses. He said, 17“These are the men who will help you divide the land: Eleazar the priest, Joshua son of Nun, 18and the leaders of all the tribes. There will be one leader from each tribe. These men will divide the land. 19These are the names of the leaders:
from the tribe of Judah—Caleb son of Jephunneh;
20from the tribe of Simeon—Shemuel son of Ammihud;
21from the tribe of Benjamin—Elidad son of Kislon;
22from the tribe of Dan—Bukki son of Jogli;
23from the descendants of Joseph;
from the tribe of Manasseh—Hanniel son of Ephod;
24from the tribe of Ephraim—Kemuel son of Shiphtan;
25from the tribe of Zebulun—Elizaphan son of Parnach;
26from the tribe of Issachar—Paltiel son of Azzan;
27from the tribe of Asher—Ahihud son of Shelomi;
28from the tribe of Naphtali—Pedahel son of Ammihud.”
29The Lord chose these men to divide the land of Canaan among the Israelites.
