¹ And Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,² Command the sons of Israel, and say to them, When you come into the land of Canaan (this is the land that shall fall to you for an inheritance, even the land of Canaan according to the borders thereof),³ then your south quarter shall be from the wilderness of Zin along by the side of Edom, and your south border shall be from the end of the Salt Sea eastward;⁴ and your border shall turn about southward of the ascent of Akrabbim, and pass along to Zin; and the goings out thereof shall be southward of Kadesh-barnea; and it shall go forth to Hazar-addar, and pass along to Azmon;⁵ and the border shall turn about from Azmon to the brook of Egypt, and the goings out thereof shall be at the sea.⁶ And for the western border, you shall have the great sea and the neighboring area: this shall be your west border.⁷ And this shall be your north border: from the great sea you shall mark out for you mount Hor;⁸ from mount Hor you shall mark out to the entrance of Hamath; and the goings out of the border shall be at Zedad;⁹ and the border shall go forth to Ziphron, and the goings out thereof shall be at Hazar-enan: this shall be your north border.¹⁰ And you shall mark out your east border from Hazar-enan to Shepham;¹¹ and the border shall go down from Shepham [to] Harbelah, on the east side of Ain; and the border shall go down, and shall reach to the side of the sea of Chinnereth eastward;¹² and the border shall go down to the Jordan, and the goings out thereof shall be at the Salt Sea. This shall be your land according to the borders thereof round about.¹³ And Moses commanded the sons of Israel, saying, This is the land which you shall inherit by lot, which Yahweh has commanded to give to the nine tribes, and to the half-tribe;¹⁴ for the tribe of the sons of Reuben according to their fathers' houses, and the tribe of the sons of Gad according to their fathers' houses, have received, and the half-tribe of Manasseh have received, their inheritance:¹⁵ the two tribes and the half-tribe have received their inheritance beyond the Jordan at Jericho eastward, toward the sunrising.
