¹ ADONAI told Moshe

² to 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.

⁴ From 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.

⁵ Then 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,

⁸ and from Mount Hor mark a line to the entrance of Hamat. The border goes out to Tz’dad.

⁹ Then 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.

¹¹ Then 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.

¹² From there it goes down the Yarden River till it flows into the Dead Sea. These will be the borders of your land.”

¹³ Moshe 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.

¹⁴ The 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.

¹⁵ These two-and-a-half tribes have received their inheritance on this side of the Yarden, across from Yericho and eastward, toward the sunrise.”

¹⁶ [15] (RY: vi; LY: iv) ADONAI 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.

¹⁸ Also appoint one leader from each tribe to take possession of the land.

¹⁹ The names of these men are: from the tribe of Y’hudah, Kalev the son of Y’funeh;

²⁰ from the tribe of the descendants of Shim‘on, Sh’mu’el the son of ‘Ammihud;

²¹ from the tribe of Binyamin, Elidad the son of Kislon;

²² from the tribe of the descendants of Dan, a leader, Buki the son of Yogli;

²³ from the descendants of Yosef: from the tribe of the descendants of M’nasheh, a leader, Hani’el the son of Efod;

²⁴ from the tribe of the descendants of Efrayim, a leader, K’mu’el the son of Shiftan;

²⁵ from the tribe of the descendants of Z’vulun, a leader, Elitzafan the son of Parnakh;

²⁶ from the tribe of the descendants of Yissakhar, a leader, Palti’el the son of ‘Azan;

²⁷ from the tribe of the descendants of Asher, a leader, Achihud the son of Shlomi;

²⁸ from the tribe of the descendants of Naftali, a leader, P’dah’el the son of ‘Ammihud.”

²⁹ These are the ones whom ADONAI ordered to divide the inheritance among the people of Isra’el in the land of Kena‘an.
