1 Then the LORD said to Moses, | TOSK |
2 “Command the Israelites and say to them: When you enter the land of Canaan, it will be allotted to you as an inheritance with these boundaries: | TOSK |
3 Your southern border will extend from the Wilderness of Zin along the border of Edom. On the east, your southern border will run from the end of the Salt Sea, | TOSK |
4 cross south of the Ascent of Akrabbim, continue to Zin, and go south of Kadesh-barnea. Then it will go on to Hazar-addar and proceed to Azmon, | TOSK |
5 where it will turn from Azmon, join the Brook of Egypt, and end at the Sea. | TOSK |
6 Your western border will be the coastline of the Great Sea; this will be your boundary on the west. | TOSK |
7 Your northern border will run from the Great Sea directly to Mount Hor, | TOSK |
8 and from Mount Hor to Lebo-hamath, then extend to Zedad, | TOSK |
9 continue to Ziphron, and end at Hazar-enan. This will be your boundary on the north. | TOSK |
10 And your eastern border will run straight from Hazar-enan to Shepham, | TOSK |
11 then go down from Shepham to Riblah on the east side of Ain and continue along the slopes east of the Sea of Chinnereth. | TOSK |
12 Then the border will go down along the Jordan and end at the Salt Sea. This will be your land, defined by its borders on all sides.” | TOSK |
13 So Moses commanded the Israelites, “Apportion this land by lot as an inheritance. The LORD has commanded that it be given to the nine and a half tribes. | TOSK |
14 For the tribes of the Reubenites and Gadites, along with the half-tribe of Manasseh, have already received their inheritance. | TOSK |
15 These two and a half tribes have received their inheritance across the Jordan from Jericho, toward the sunrise.” | TOSK |
16 Then the LORD said to Moses,
17 “These are the names of the men who are to assign the land as an inheritance for you: Eleazar the priest and Joshua son of Nun. | TOSK |
18 Appoint one leader from each tribe to distribute the land. | TOSK |
19 These are their names: Caleb son of Jephunneh from the tribe of Judah; | TOSK |
20 Shemuel son of Ammihud from the tribe of Simeon;
21 Elidad son of Chislon from the tribe of Benjamin;
22 Bukki son of Jogli, a leader from the tribe of Dan; | TOSK |
23 Hanniel son of Ephod, a leader from the tribe of Manasseh son of Joseph;
24 Kemuel son of Shiphtan, a leader from the tribe of Ephraim;
25 Eli-zaphan son of Parnach, a leader from the tribe of Zebulun;
26 Paltiel son of Azzan, a leader from the tribe of Issachar;
27 Ahihud son of Shelomi, a leader from the tribe of Asher;
28 and Pedahel son of Ammihud, a leader from the tribe of Naphtali.”
29 These are the ones whom the LORD commanded to apportion the inheritance to the Israelites in the land of Canaan. | TOSK |
