And the LORD spake unto Moses saying: command the children of Israel
and say unto them: when ye come into the land of Canaan, this is the
land that shall fall unto your inheritance, the land of Canaan with all
her coasts. And your south quarter shall be from the wilderness of Zin
along by the coast of Edom, so that your south quarter shall be from
the side of the salt sea eastward, and shall fetch a compass from the
south up to Acrabim, and reach to Zinna. And it shall go out on the
south side of Cades Bernea, and go out also at Hazar Adar, and go along
to Azmon. And shall fetch a compass from Azmon unto the river of Egypt,
and shall go out at the sea. And your west quarter shall be the great
sea, which coast shall be your west coast. And this shall be your north
quarter: ye shall compass from the great sea unto mount Hor. And from
mount Hor, ye shall compass and go unto Hemath, and the end of the
coast shall be at Zedada, and the coast shall reach out to Ziphron and
go out at Hazor enan. And this shall be your north quarter. And ye
shall compass your east quarter from Hazar Enan to Sepham. And the
coast shall go down from Sepham to Ribla on the east side of Ain. And
then descend and go out at the side of the sea of Cenereth eastward.
And then go down along by Iordan, and leave at the salt sea. And this
shall be your land with all the coasts thereof round about. And Moses
commanded the children of Israel, saying: this is the land which ye
shall inherit by lot, and which the LORD commanded to give unto nine
tribes and an half: for the tribe of the children of Ruben, have
received, in the households of their fathers, and the tribe of the
children of Gad in their fathers' households, and half the tribe of
Manasse, have received their inheritance, that is to wete two tribes
and a half have received their inheritance on the other side of Iordan
by Iericho eastward, toward the son rising. And the LORD spake to Moses
saying: These are the names of the men, which shall divide you the land
to inherit. Eleazer the priest, and Iosua the son of Nun. And ye shall
take also a lord of every tribe to divide the land, whose names are
these: in the tribe of Iuda, Caleb the son of Iephune. And in the tribe
of the children of Simeon, Semuel the son of Amiud, and in the tribe of
BenIamin, Elidad the son of Cislon. And in the tribe of the children of
Dan, the lord Bucki the son of Iagli. And among the children of Ioseph:
in the tribe of the children of Manasse, the lord Haniel the son of
Ephod. And in the tribe of the children of Ephraim, the lord Cemuel the
son of Siphtan. And in the tribe of the sons of Zabulon, the lord
Elizaphan the son of Parnac. And in the tribe of the children of
Isachar, the lord Palthiel the son of Asan. And in the tribe of the
sons of Aser, the lord Ahihud the son of Selomi. And in the tribe of
the children of Naphthali, the lord Pada El the son of Ammihud. These
are they which the LORD commanded to divide the inheritance unto the
