1Adonai told Moshe 2to give this order to the people of Isra’el: “When you enter the land of Kena‘an, it will become your land to pass on as an inheritance, the land of Kena‘an as defined by these borders.
3“Your southern portion will extend from the Tzin Desert close to the border of Edom. The eastern terminus of your southern border is at the end of the Dead Sea. 4From there your border turns, goes south of the ‘Akrabbim Ascent and passes on to Tzin. From there it goes south of Kadesh-Barnea, on to Hatzar-Adar, and on to ‘Atzmon. 5Then the border turns and goes from ‘Atzmon to the Vadi of Egypt and along it to the Sea.
6“Your western border will be the Great Sea.
7“Your northern border will be as follows: from the Great Sea mark a line to Mount Hor, 8and from Mount Hor mark a line to the entrance of Hamat. The border goes out to Tz’dad. 9Then the border goes to Zifron and finally to Hatzar-‘Einan; this is your northern border.
10“For the eastern border mark your line from Hatzar-‘Enan to Sh’fam. 11Then the border goes down from Sh’fam to Rivlah, on the east side of ‘Ayin, then down until it hits the slope east of Lake Kinneret. 12From there it goes down the Yarden River till it flows into the Dead Sea. These will be the borders of your land.”
13Moshe gave this order to the people of Isra’el: “This is the land in which you will receive inheritances by lot, which Adonai has ordered to give to the nine tribes and the half-tribe. 14The tribe of the descendants of Re’uven have already received their land for inheritance according to their clans, and so have the descendants of Gad and the half-tribe of M’nasheh. 15These two-and-a-half tribes have received their inheritance on this side of the Yarden, across from Yericho and eastward, toward the sunrise.”
(RY: vi; LY: iv) 16Adonai said to Moshe, 17“These are the names of the men who will take possession of the land for you: El‘azar the cohen and Y’hoshua the son of Nun. 18Also appoint one leader from each tribe to take possession of the land. 19The names of these men are:
from the tribe of Y’hudah, Kalev the son of Y’funeh;
20from the tribe of the descendants of Shim‘on, Sh’mu’el the son of ‘Ammihud;
21from the tribe of Binyamin, Elidad the son of Kislon;
22from the tribe of the descendants of Dan, a leader, Buki the son of Yogli;
23from the descendants of Yosef:
from the tribe of the descendants of M’nasheh, a leader, Hani’el the son of Efod;
24from the tribe of the descendants of Efrayim, a leader, K’mu’el the son of Shiftan;
25from the tribe of the descendants of Z’vulun, a leader, Elitzafan the son of Parnakh;
26from the tribe of the descendants of Yissakhar, a leader, Palti’el the son of ‘Azan;
27from the tribe of the descendants of Asher, a leader, Achihud the son of Shlomi;
28from the tribe of the descendants of Naftali, a leader, P’dah’el the son of ‘Ammihud.”
29These are the ones whom Adonai ordered to divide the inheritance among the people of Isra’el in the land of Kena‘an.

1And יהוה spoke to Mosheh, saying,
2“Command the children of Yisra’ĕl, and say to them, ‘When you come into the land of Kena‛an, this is the land which falls to you as an inheritance, the land of Kena‛an to its boundaries:
3Then your southern border shall be from the Wilderness of Tsin along the border of Eḏom, and your southern border shall be eastward from the end of the Salt Sea.
4Then your border shall turn from the southern side of the Ascent of Aqrabbim, continue to Tsin, and be on the south of Qaḏĕsh Barnĕa, and it shall go on to Ḥatsar Addar, and continue to Atsmon.
5And the border shall turn from Atsmon to the wadi of Mitsrayim, and it shall end at the Sea.
6As for the western border, you shall have the Great Sea for a border, this is your western border.
7And this is your northern border: From the Great Sea you mark out your borderline to Mount Hor,
8from Mount Hor you mark out your border to the entrance of Ḥamath, and the edge of the border shall be toward Tseḏaḏ,
9and the border shall proceed to Ziphron, and it shall end at Ḥatsar Ěnan. This is your northern border.
10And you shall mark out your eastern border from Ḥatsar Ěnan to Shepham,
11and the border shall go down from Shepham to Riḇlah on the east side of Ayin, and the border shall go down and reach to the eastern side of the Sea of Kinnereth.
12And the border shall go down along the Yardĕn, and it shall end at the Salt Sea. This is your land with its surrounding boundaries.’ ”
13And Mosheh commanded the children of Yisra’ĕl, saying, “This is the land which you inherit by lot, which יהוה has commanded to give to the nine tribes and to the half-tribe.
14“For the tribe of the children of Re’uḇĕn according to the house of their fathers, and the tribe of the children of Gaḏ according to the house of their fathers, have received their inheritance. And the half-tribe of Menashsheh has received its inheritance.
15“The two tribes and the half-tribe have received their inheritance beyond the Yardĕn of Yeriḥo eastward, toward the sunrise.”
16And יהוה spoke to Mosheh, saying,
17“These are the names of the men who divide the land among you as an inheritance: El‛azar the priest, and Yehoshua son of Nun.
18“And take one leader of every tribe to divide the land for the inheritance.
19“And these are the names of the men. From the tribe of Yehuḏah: Kalĕḇ son of Yephunneh.
20“And from the tribe of the children of Shim‛on: Shemu’ĕl son of Ammihuḏ.
21“From the tribe of Binyamin: Eliḏaḏ son of Kislon.
22“And a leader from the tribe of the children of Dan: Buqqi son of Yoḡli.
23“From the sons of Yosĕph: a leader from the tribe of the children of Menashsheh, Ḥanni’ĕl son of Ěphoḏ.
24“And a leader from the tribe of the children of Ephrayim: Qemu’ĕl son of Shiphtan.
25“And a leader from the tribe of the children of Zeḇulun: Elitsaphan son of Parnaḵ.
26“And a leader from the tribe of the children of Yissasḵar: Palti’ĕl son of Azzan.
27“And a leader from the tribe of the children of Ashĕr: Aḥihuḏ son of Shelomi.
28“And a leader from the tribe of the children of Naphtali: Peḏah’ĕl son of Ammihuḏ.”
29These are the ones יהוה commanded to divide the inheritance among the children of Yisra’ĕl in the land of Kena‛an.
