(Genesis 15:8–21)

And the Lord spake vnto Moses, saying,

Commande the children of Israel, and say vnto them, When yee come into the land of Canaan, this is the land that shall fall vnto your inheritance: that is, the land of Canaan with the coastes thereof.

And your Southquarter shalbe from the wildernesse of Zin to the borders of Edom: so that your Southquarter shall be from the salt Sea coast Eastwarde:

And the border shall compasse you from the South to Maaleh-akrabbim, and reach to Zin, and goe out from the South to Kadesh-barnea: thence it shall stretch to Hazar-addar, and go along to Azmon.

And the border shall compasse from Azmon vnto the riuer of Egypt, and shall goe out to the Sea.

And your Westquarter shall bee the great Sea: euen that border shalbe your Westcoast.

And this shall bee your Northquarter: yee shall marke out your border from the great Sea vnto mount Hor.

From mount Hor ye shall point out till it come vnto Hamath, and the end of the coast shall be at Zedad.

And the coast shall reach out to Ziphron, and goe out at Hazar-enan. this shalbe your Northquarter.

And ye shall marke out your Eastquarter from Hazar-enan to Shepham.

And the coast shall goe downe from Shepham to Riblah, and from the Eastside of Ain: and the same border shall descend and goe out at the side of the sea of Chinneereth Eastward.

Also that border shall goe downe to Iorden, and leaue at the salt Sea. this shalbe your land with the coastes thereof round about.

Then Moses commanded the children of Israel, saying, This is the lande which yee shall inherite by lot, which the Lord commanded to giue vnto nine tribes and halfe the tribe.

For the tribe of the children of Reuben, according to the housholdes of their fathers, and the tribe of the children of Gad, according to their fathers housholdes, and halfe the tribe of Manasseh, haue receiued their inheritance.

Two tribes and an halfe tribe haue receiued their inheritance on this side of Iorden toward Iericho full East.

Leaders to Divide the Land

Againe the Lord spake to Moses, saying,

These are the names of the men which shall deuide ye land vnto you: Eleazar the Priest, and Ioshua the sonne of Nun.

And ye shall take also a prince of euerie tribe to deuide the land.

The names also of the men are these: Of the tribe of Iudah, Caleb ye sonne of Iephunneh.

And of the tribe of the sonnes of Simeon, Shemuel the sonne of Ammihud.

Of the tribe of Beniamin, Elidad the sonne of Chislon.

Also of the tribe of the sonnes of Dan, the prince Bukki, the sonne of Iogli.

Of the sonnes of Ioseph: of the tribe of the sonnes of Manasseh, the prince Hanniel the sonne of Ephod.

And of the tribe of the sonnes of Ephraim, the prince Kemuel, the sonne of Shiphtan.

Of the tribe also of the sonnes of Zebulun, the prince Elizaphan, the sonne of Parnach.

So of the tribe of the sonnes of Issachar, the prince Paltiel the sonne of Azzan.

Of the tribe also of the sonnes of Asher, the prince Ahihud, the sonne of Shelomi.

And of the tribe of the sonnes of Naphtali, the prince Pedahel, the sonne of Ammihud.

These are they, whome the Lord commanded to deuide the inheritance vnto the children of Israel, in the land of Canaan.

(Genesis 15:8–21)

The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

“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),

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.

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.

The border shall turn about from Azmon to the brook of Egypt, and it shall end at the sea.

“‘For the western border, you shall have the great sea and its border. This shall be your west border.

“‘This shall be your north border: from the great sea you shall mark out for yourselves Mount Hor.

From Mount Hor you shall mark out to the entrance of Hamath; and the border shall pass by Zedad.

Then the border shall go to Ziphron, and it shall end at Hazar Enan. This shall be your north border.

“‘You shall mark out your east border from Hazar Enan to Shepham.

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.

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.’”

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;

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.

The two tribes and the half-tribe have received their inheritance beyond the Jordan at Jericho eastward, toward the sunrise.”

The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

“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.

You shall take one prince of every tribe, to divide the land for inheritance.

These are the names of the men: Of the tribe of Judah, Caleb the son of Jephunneh.

Of the tribe of the children of Simeon, Shemuel the son of Ammihud.

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

Of the tribe of the children of Dan a prince, Bukki the son of Jogli.

Of the children of Joseph: of the tribe of the children of Manasseh a prince, Hanniel the son of Ephod.
