¹And the Lord spake with Mosheh, saying:

²Command the sons of Israel, and say to them: When you have entered into the land of Kenaan, that land which shall be divided to you for a possession, the land of Kenaan by its coasts,

³Then your south border shall be from the wilderness of Zin on the frontier of Edom, and your south border shall be from the extremities of the Sea of Salt eastward.

⁴And your border shall turn from the south to the going up of Akrabbim, and shall pass over to Zin; and the going out of it shall be from the south unto Rekem Giah, and go on to Hazar-Adar, and pass over to Azemon.

⁵And the border shall turn from Azemon to the stream of Mizraim, and its goings out shall be toward the west (Heb. the sea).

⁶And for the western border you shall have the Great Sea; this shall be your western border.

⁷And this shall be your northern border: from the Great Sea you shall appoint for you Mount Hor;

⁸From Mount Hor you shall appoint to the entrance of Hamath, and the goings forth of the border shall be unto Zedad.

⁹And the border shall be unto Zaphron, and its goings forth to Ezarenan; this shall be your north border.

¹⁰And you shall appoint your eastern border from Ezarenan to Shepham;

¹¹And the border shall go down from Shepham unto Riblah, eastward of the fountain, and the border shall go down and come to the bank of the Sea of Genesar on the east.

¹²And the border shall go down to the Jordan, and its going out be at the Sea of Salt. This shall be your land with its confines round about.

¹³And Mosheh commanded the sons of Israel, saying: This shall be the land which you are to possess by lot, which the Lord hath commanded to give to the nine tribes and to the half tribe.

¹⁴For the tribe of the Beni Reuben by the house of their fathers, and the tribe of the Beni Gad by the house of their fathers, and the half tribe of Menasheh, have received their inheritance.

¹⁵The two tribes and the half tribe have received their inheritance across the Jordan by Jericho towards the east.

¹⁶And the Lord spake with Mosheh, saying:

¹⁷These are the names of the men who shall apportion the land to you: Elazar the priest, and Jehoshua bar Nun.

¹⁸And you shall take of each tribe one prince to apportion the land,

¹⁹and these are the names of the men: of the tribe of Jehudah, Kaleb bar Jephuneh;

²⁰of the tribe of the Beni Shemeon, Shemuel bar Ammihud;

²¹of the tribe of Benjamin, Elidad bar Kiselon;

²²of the tribe of the Beni Dan, Rabba Bokki bar Jagli;

²³of the Beni-Joseph, of the tribe of the Beni Menasheh, Rabba Haniel bar Ephod;

²⁴of the tribe of the Beni-Ephraim, Rabba Kemuel bar Shiphtan;

²⁵of the tribe of the Beni Zebulon, Rabba Elizaphan bar Parnak;

²⁶of the tribe of the Beni Issakar, Rabba Peltiel bar Ezar;

²⁷And of that of the Beni Asher, Rabba Ahihud bar Shelomi;

²⁸and of that of the Beni Naphtali, Rabba Phadael bar Ammihud.

²⁹These are they whom the Lord commanded to divide the inheritance of the children of Israel in the land of Kenaan.
