southern side will include some of the Desert of Zin along the border of Edom.
Your southern boundary will start in the east from the southern end of the Dead
Sea, 4cross

it will go to Hazar Addar and over to Azmon, 5where
it will turn, join the Wadi of Egypt and end at the Mediterranean Sea.
6“ ‘Your
western boundary will be the coast of the Mediterranean Sea. This will be your
boundary on the west.

from Mount Hor to Lebo Hamath. Then the boundary will go to Zedad, 9continue
to Ziphron and end at Hazar Enan. This will be your boundary on the north.

your eastern boundary, run a line from Hazar Enan to Shepham. 11The
boundary will go down from Shepham to Riblah on the east side of Ain and
continue along the slopes east of the Sea of Galilee.a12Then
the boundary will go down along the Jordan and end at the Dead Sea.
“ ‘This will be your land, with its boundaries on every side.’ ”
13Moses
commanded the Israelites: “Assign this land by lot as an inheritance. The LORD Has Ordered that it be given to the
nine-and-a-half tribes, 14because
the families of the tribe of Reuben, the tribe of Gad and the half-tribe of
Manasseh have received their inheritance. 15These
two-and-a-half tribes have received their inheritance east of the Jordan across
from Jericho, toward the sunrise.”
16The LORD Said To Moses,
17“These are the names of the men who are to assign the land for you as an inheritance: Eleazar the priest and Joshua son of Nun. 18And appoint one leader from each tribe to help assign the land.
19These are their names:
