Majority Standard Bible
1 Then the LORD said to Moses,
2 “Command the Israelites and say to them: When you enter the land of Canaan, it will be allotted to you as an inheritance with these boundaries:
3 Your southern border will extend from the Wilderness of Zin along the border of Edom. On the east, your southern border will run from the end of the Salt Sea,
4 cross south of the Ascent of Akrabbim, continue to Zin, and go south of Kadesh-barnea. Then it will go on to Hazar-addar and proceed to Azmon,
5 where it will turn from Azmon, join the Brook of Egypt, and end at the Sea.
6 Your western border will be the coastline of the Great Sea; this will be your boundary on the west.
7 Your northern border will run from the Great Sea directly to Mount Hor,
8 and from Mount Hor to Lebo-hamath, then extend to Zedad,
9 continue to Ziphron, and end at Hazar-enan. This will be your boundary on the north.
10 And your eastern border will run straight from Hazar-enan to Shepham,
11 then go down from Shepham to Riblah on the east side of Ain and continue along the slopes east of the Sea of Chinnereth.
12 Then the border will go down along the Jordan and end at the Salt Sea. This will be your land, defined by its borders on all sides.”
13 So Moses commanded the Israelites, “Apportion this land by lot as an inheritance. The LORD has commanded that it be given to the nine and a half tribes.
14 For the tribes of the Reubenites and Gadites, along with the half-tribe of Manasseh, have already received their inheritance.
15 These two and a half tribes have received their inheritance across the Jordan from Jericho, toward the sunrise.”
16 Then the LORD said to Moses,
17 “These are the names of the men who are to assign the land as an inheritance for you: Eleazar the priest and Joshua son of Nun.
18 Appoint one leader from each tribe to distribute the land.
19 These are their names: Caleb son of Jephunneh from the tribe of Judah;
20 Shemuel son of Ammihud from the tribe of Simeon;
21 Elidad son of Chislon from the tribe of Benjamin;
22 Bukki son of Jogli, a leader from the tribe of Dan;
23 Hanniel son of Ephod, a leader from the tribe of Manasseh son of Joseph;
24 Kemuel son of Shiphtan, a leader from the tribe of Ephraim;
25 Eli-zaphan son of Parnach, a leader from the tribe of Zebulun;
26 Paltiel son of Azzan, a leader from the tribe of Issachar;
27 Ahihud son of Shelomi, a leader from the tribe of Asher;
28 and Pedahel son of Ammihud, a leader from the tribe of Naphtali.”
29 These are the ones whom the LORD commanded to apportion the inheritance to the Israelites in the land of Canaan.
KJV
1 ¶ And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
2 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 you for an inheritance, [even] the land of Canaan with the coasts thereof:)
3 Then 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:
4 And 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 Kadeshbarnea, and shall go on to Hazaraddar, and pass on to Azmon:
5 And the border shall fetch a compass from Azmon unto the river of Egypt, and the goings out of it shall be at the sea.
6 And [as for] the western border, ye shall even have the great sea for a border: this shall be your west border.
7 And this shall be your north border: from the great sea ye shall point out for you mount Hor:
8 From mount Hor ye shall point out [your border] unto the entrance of Hamath; and the goings forth of the border shall be to Zedad:
9 And the border shall go on to Ziphron, and the goings out of it shall be at Hazarenan: this shall be your north border.
10 And ye shall point out your east border from Hazarenan to Shepham:
11 And 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:
12 And 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.
13 And 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:
14 For 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:
15 The two tribes and the half tribe have received their inheritance on this side Jordan [near] Jericho eastward, toward the sunrising.
16 ¶ And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
17 These [are] the names of the men which shall divide the land unto you: Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun.
18 And ye shall take one prince of every tribe, to divide the land by inheritance.
19 And the names of the men [are] these: Of the tribe of Judah, Caleb the son of Jephunneh.
20 And 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 And the prince of the tribe of the children of Dan, Bukki the son of Jogli.
23 The prince of the children of Joseph, for the tribe of the children of Manasseh, Hanniel the son of Ephod.
24 And the prince of the tribe of the children of Ephraim, Kemuel the son of Shiphtan.
25 And the prince of the tribe of the children of Zebulun, Elizaphan the son of Parnach.
26 And the prince of the tribe of the children of Issachar, Paltiel the son of Azzan.
27 And the prince of the tribe of the children of Asher, Ahihud the son of Shelomi.
28 And the prince of the tribe of the children of Naphtali, Pedahel the son of Ammihud.
29 These [are they] whom the LORD commanded to divide the inheritance unto the children of Israel in the land of Canaan.

Boundaries of the Promised Land, how and by which to distribute it.
1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying:
2 Give unto the children of Israel, and say unto them: When ye come into the land of Canaan, the land that shall fall unto you for an inheritance in the land of Canaan shall be the border thereof.
3 And the south border shall begin at the wilderness of Zin, which is by Edom: and your border shall be on the south side from the end of the salt sea, which is on the east side,
4 And the border of it shall be from the south up to Akrabbim, and shall pass through Zinnah; and the end thereof shall be from the south unto Kadeshbarnea, and shall pass by the village of Adar, and shall pass through Azmon;
5 And it shall be from Azmon unto the river of Egypt, and the end thereof shall be by the sea.
6 But the border toward the west shall be this; even the great sea. Let this be your border toward the west.
7 The border toward the north shall be this: Ye shall measure from the great sea unto mount Hor;
8 And measure from mount Hor unto Hamath: and the going out thereof shall be the border of Zedadah;
9 And the border of it shall be at Siphron, and the end thereof shall be at the village of Enan. Let this be your border toward the north.
10 And ye shall measure the border eastward from the village of Enan unto Sepham;
11 And the border shall go down from Sepham unto Riblah unto Am from the east: and afterward it shall go down and be turned unto the sides of the sea of Cinereth toward the east,
12 And come down to Jordan, and let the salt sea be the end thereof. This shall be your land, and the border thereof round about.
13 And Moses commanded the children of Israel, saying, This is the land which ye shall divide among you by lot, which the LORD commanded to be given unto the nine tribes, and to the half tribe.
14 For the tribe of the children of Reuben, of the house of their father, and the tribe of the children of Gad, of the house of their father, and the half tribe of Manasseh, were partakers unto her.
15 So the two tribes and the half tribe have their inheritance there since Jordan toward Jericho, toward the east.
16 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying:
17 These are the names of the men that shall divide the land among you: Eleazar the priest and tJoshua the son
18 And ye shall take the princes of every tribe to divide the land.
19 And these are the names of the men: Caleb the son of Jephunneh, of the tribe of Judah;
20 And Shemuel the son of Ammihud, of the tribe of Simeon;
21 Elidad the son of Chislon, of the tribe of Benjamin;
22 Buki the son of Jagli, prince of the tribe of the children of Dan;.
23 Haniel the son of Ephod, prince of the tribe of the children of Manasseh of the children of Joseph;
24 And Kemuel the son of Siphtan, prince of the tribe of the children of Ephraim;
25 Elizaphan the son of Parnach, prince of the tribe of the children of Zebulun;
26 Paltiel the son of Asan, prince of the tribe of the children of Issachar;
27 Ahihud the son of Selomi, prince of the tribe of the children of Asher;
28 Pedahel the son of Ammihud prince of the tribe of the children of Naphtali.
29 These are they whom the LORD commanded to divide an inheritance unto the children of Israel in the land of Canaan.
