## Apportioning Canaan 

###### 1
Then Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, 

###### 2
"Command the sons of Israel and say to them, 'When you enter the land of Canaan, this is the land that shall fall to you as an inheritance, _even the_ land of Canaan according to its borders. 

###### 3
And your southern sector shall extend from the wilderness of Zin along the side of Edom, and your southern border shall extend from the end of the Salt Sea eastward. 

###### 4
Then your border shall turn from the south to the ascent of Akrabbim and continue to Zin, and its termination shall be to the south of Kadesh-barnea; and it shall reach Hazaraddar and continue to Azmon. 

###### 5
And the border shall turn from Azmon to the brook of Egypt, and its termination shall be at the sea. 

###### 6
'And as for the west border, you shall have the Great Sea, that is, _its_ coastline; this shall be your west border. 

###### 7
'And this shall be your north border: you shall draw your _border_ line from the Great Sea to Mount Hor. 

###### 8
You shall draw a line from Mount Hor to Lebo-hamath, and the termination of the border shall be at Zedad; 

###### 9
and the border shall proceed to Ziphron, and its termination shall be at Hazar-enan. This shall be your north border. 

###### 10
'For your east border you shall also draw a line from Hazar-enan to Shepham, 

###### 11
and the border shall go down from Shepham to Riblah on the east side of Ain; and the border shall go down and reach to the slope on the east side of the Sea of Chinnereth. 

###### 12
And the border shall go down to the Jordan, and its termination shall be at the Salt Sea. This shall be your land according to its borders all around.'" 

###### 13
So Moses commanded the sons of Israel, saying, "This is the land that you shall inherit by lot among you as a possession, which Yahweh has commanded to give to the nine and a half tribes. 

###### 14
For the tribe of the sons of Reuben have received _theirs_ according to their fathers' households, and the tribe of the sons of Gad according to their fathers' households, and the half-tribe of Manasseh have received their inheritance. 

###### 15
The two and a half tribes have received their inheritance across the Jordan opposite Jericho to the east toward the sunrise." 

###### 16
Then Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, 

###### 17
"These are the names of the men who shall apportion the land to you for inheritance: Eleazar the priest and Joshua the son of Nun. 

###### 18
And you shall take one leader of every tribe to apportion the land for inheritance. 

###### 19
Now these are the names of the men: of the tribe of Judah, Caleb the son of Jephunneh. 

###### 20
Of the tribe of the sons of Simeon, Samuel the son of Ammihud. 

###### 21
Of the tribe of Benjamin, Elidad the son of Chislon. 

###### 22
Of the tribe of the sons of Dan a leader, Bukki the son of Jogli. 

###### 23
Of the sons of Joseph: of the tribe of the sons of Manasseh a leader, Hanniel the son of Ephod. 

###### 24
Of the tribe of the sons of Ephraim a leader, Kemuel the son of Shiphtan. 

###### 25
Of the tribe of the sons of Zebulun a leader, Elizaphan the son of Parnach. 

###### 26
Of the tribe of the sons of Issachar a leader, Paltiel the son of Azzan. 

###### 27
Of the tribe of the sons of Asher a leader, Ahihud the son of Shelomi. 

###### 28
Of the tribe of the sons of Naphtali a leader, Pedahel the son of Ammihud." 

###### 29
These are those whom Yahweh commanded to apportion the inheritance to the sons of Israel in the land of Canaan.
