(Genesis 15:8–21)
1
Yahweh said to Moses,
2
“Tell this to the Israelite people, ’You will soon enter Canaan land, and it will become yours. The following will be the borders of the land.
3
On the south you will receive part of the wilderness of Zin, near the border of the region of Edom. On the east side, the border will start at the south end of the Dead Sea.
4
It will extend to a little south of the Scorpion Pass, and extend west through the wilderness of Sin and south of Kadesh Barnea. From there it will extend to Hazar Addar and from there to Azmon.
5
From Azmon it will extend west to the dry riverbed at the border of Egypt and then to the Mediterranean Sea.
6
The border on the west will be the Mediterranean Sea.
7
The border on the north will start from the Mediterranean Sea and extend east to Mount Hor.
8
From there it will extend to Lebo Hamath and then to Zedad.
9
From there the border will extend to Ziphron, and it will end at Hazar Enan.
10
The border on the east will start at Hazar Enan and extend south to Shepham.
11
From there it will extend east of Ain to Riblah and then along the hills that are east of Galilee Lake.
12
Then the border will extend south along the Jordan River and end at the Dead Sea. Those will be the borders around your country.’”
13
So Moses told all that to the Israelite people. Then he said to them, “That is the land that you will receive. You must cast lots to decide which area will go to each of the nine and a half tribes, because Yahweh has commanded that it should be divided among them.
14
The tribes of Reuben, Gad, and half of the tribe of Manasseh have already received the land in which they will live.
15
They have received land on the east side of the Jordan River, across from Jericho.”

Leaders to Divide the Land

16
Then Yahweh said to Moses,
17
“These are the men who will divide the land. First, Eleazar and Joshua,
18
but other leaders from each of the twelve tribes will help them divide the land.
19
From the tribe of Judah, appoint Jephunneh's son Caleb.
20
From the tribe of Simeon appoint Ammihud's son Shemuel.
21
From the tribe of Benjamin appoint Kislon's son Elidad.
22
From the tribe of Dan appoint Jogli's son Bukki.
23
From the tribe of Manasseh appoint Ephod's son Hanniel.
24
From the tribe of Ephraim appoint Shiphtan's son Kemuel.
25
From the tribe of Zebulun appoint Parnak's son Elizaphan.
26
From the tribe of Issachar appoint Azzan's son Paltiel.
27
From the tribe of Asher appoint Shelomi's son Ahihud.
28
From the tribe of Naphtali appoint Ammihud's son Pedahel."
29
Yahweh commanded that all those were the men who should divide the region of Canaan among the Israelite people.

(Genesis 15:8–21)
1
The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
2
“Command the children of Israel, and tell 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 its borders),
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
Your border shall turn about southward of the ascent of Akrabbim, and pass along to Zin; and it shall pass southward of Kadesh Barnea; and it shall go from there to Hazar Addar, and pass along to Azmon.
5
The border shall turn about from Azmon to the brook of Egypt, and it shall end at the sea.
6
“‘For the western border, you shall have the great sea and its border. This shall be your west border.
7
“‘This shall be your north border: from the great sea you shall mark out for yourselves Mount Hor.
8
From Mount Hor you shall mark out to the entrance of Hamath; and the border shall pass by Zedad.
9
Then the border shall go to Ziphron, and it shall end at Hazar Enan. This shall be your north border.
10
“‘You shall mark out your east border from Hazar Enan to Shepham.
11
The border shall go down from Shepham to Riblah, on the east side of Ain. The border shall go down, and shall reach to the side of the sea of Chinnereth eastward.
12
The border shall go down to the Jordan, and end at the Salt Sea. This shall be your land according to its borders around it.’”
13
Moses commanded the children of Israel, saying, “This is the land which you shall inherit by lot, which the LORD has commanded to give to the nine tribes, and to the half-tribe;
14
for the tribe of the children of Reuben according to their fathers’ houses, the tribe of the children of Gad according to their fathers’ houses, 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 sunrise.”

Leaders to Divide the Land

16
The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
17
“These are the names of the men who shall divide the land to you for inheritance: Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun.
18
You shall take one prince of every tribe, to divide the land for inheritance.
19
These are the names of the men: Of the tribe of Judah, Caleb the son of Jephunneh.
20
Of the tribe of the children of Simeon, Shemuel the son of Ammihud.
21
Of the tribe of Benjamin, Elidad the son of Chislon.
22
Of the tribe of the children of Dan a prince, Bukki the son of Jogli.
23
Of the children of Joseph: of the tribe of the children of Manasseh a prince, Hanniel the son of Ephod.
24
Of the tribe of the children of Ephraim a prince, Kemuel the son of Shiphtan.
25
Of the tribe of the children of Zebulun a prince, Elizaphan the son of Parnach.
26
Of the tribe of the children of Issachar a prince, Paltiel the son of Azzan.
27
Of the tribe of the children of Asher a prince, Ahihud the son of Shelomi.
28
Of the tribe of the children of Naphtali a prince, Pedahel the son of Ammihud.”
29
These are they whom the LORD commanded to divide the inheritance to the children of Israel in the land of Canaan.
