1And the LORD spake unto Moses , saying , 2Command the children of Israel , and say unto them, When ye come into the land of Canaan ; (this is the land that shall fall unto you for an inheritance , even the land of Canaan with the coasts thereof:) 3Then your south quarter shall be from the wilderness of Zin along by the coast of Edom , and your south border shall be the outmost coast of the salt sea eastward : 4And your border shall turn from the south to the ascent of Akrabbim , and pass on to Zin : and the going forth thereof shall be from the south to Kadesh-barnea , and shall go on to Hazar-addar , and pass on to Azmon : 5And the border shall fetch a compass from Azmon unto the river of Egypt , and the goings out of it shall be at the sea . 6And as for the western border , ye shall even have the great sea for a border : this shall be your west border . 7And this shall be your north border : from the great sea ye shall point out for you mount Hor : 8From mount Hor ye shall point out your border unto the entrance of Hamath ; and the goings forth of the border shall be to Zedad : 9And the border shall go on to Ziphron , and the goings out of it shall be at Hazar-enan : this shall be your north border . 10And ye shall point out your east border from Hazar-enan to Shepham : 11And the coast shall go down from Shepham to Riblah , on the east side of Ain ; and the border shall descend , and shall reach unto the side of the sea of Chinnereth eastward : 12And the border shall go down to Jordan , and the goings out of it shall be at the salt sea : this shall be your land with the coasts thereof round about . 13And Moses commanded the children of Israel , saying , This is the land which ye shall inherit by lot , which the LORD commanded to give unto the nine tribes , and to the half tribe : 14For the tribe of the children of Reuben according to the house of their fathers , and the tribe of the children of Gad according to the house of their fathers , have received their inheritance; and half the tribe of Manasseh have received their inheritance : 15The two tribes and the half tribe have received their inheritance on this side Jordan near Jericho eastward , toward the sunrising .
