And the Lord spake with Mosheh, saying:

Command the sons of Israel, and say to them: When you have entered into the land of Kenaan, this shall be the land that shall be divided to you for an inheritance, the land of Kenaan by its limits.

Your south border (shall be) from the Wilderness of Palms, by the iron mountain, at the confines of Edom, even the south border at the extremities of the Sea of Salt, eastward.

And your border shall turn from the south to the ascent of Akrabbith, and pass on to the palms of the mountain of iron, and the going forth thereof shall be southward of Rekem Giah, and shall go onward to the tower of Adar, and pass over to Kesam.

And the border shall wind round from Kesam unto Nilos, of the Mizraee, and its outgoings shall be to the west.

And for the western border you shall have the Great Ocean Sea; its limits are the waters of the beginning with the waters of old which are in its depth; its capes and havens, its creeks and its cities, its islands and ports, its ships and its recesses: this shall be your border westward.

And this shall be your northern border; — from the Great Sea you shall appoint to you unto Mount Umanis.

From Mount Umanis you shall appoint to you (a line) as thou goest up to the entrance of Tebaria, and the outgoings of the border at its two sides, unto Kadkor Of Bar Zahama, and to Kadkol of Bar Sanigora, and Divakinos and Tarnegola unto Kesarin, where thou goest up to Abelas of Cilicia.

And the border shall go on unto Keren Zekutha, and to Gibra Hatmona, and its outgoings shall be at Keria Bethsekel, and to the midst of the great court (darela rabtha), which is at Mizeha, between the towers of Hinvetha and Darmeshek: this shall be your northern limit.

And you shall appoint your eastern border from the of Hinvetba unto Apamea;

and the border shall descend from Apamea to Dophne, eastward of Hinvetha; thence the border shall go down to the cavern of Panias, and from the cavern of Panias to the mountain of snow, and from the mountain of snow to Henan, and from Henan the border shall go down and encompass the plain of the river of Arnon, and arrive at the wilderness and the palms of the mountain of iron, take in the Waters of Contention, and rest at Ginesar, a city of the kings of the Edomites, the inheritance of the tribes of Reuben and Gad, and the half tribe of Menasheh; and the border shall descend and encompass the Sea of Genesar on the east.

And the border shall descend to the Jordan, and its outgoing be at the Sea of Salt. Rekem Giah on the south, Mount Umanos on the north, the Great Sea on the west, the Sea of Salt on the east,-this shall be your country, the Land of Israel, by the extent of its borders round about.

And Mosheh commanded the sons of Israel, saying: This is the land which you are to inherit by lot, which the Lord hath commanded to give to the nine tribes and the half tribe.

For the tribe of the children of Reuben, according to the house of their fathers, and tribe of Gad, and the half tribe of Menasheh have received their inheritance __

__ beyond the Jordan on the eastern side.

And the Lord spake with Mosheh, saying:

These are the names of the men who shall make to you the inheritance of the land: Elazar the priest, and Jehoshua bar Nun,

and one prince from each of the tribes you shall choose to give you the inheritance of the land.

And these are the names of the men. Of the tribe of Jehudah, Kaleb bar Jephunneh;

for Shemeon, Shemuel bar Ammihud;

Benjamin, Elidad bar Kiselon;

Dan, Buki bar Jageli;

Joseph, Menasheh, Haniel bar Ephod;

Ephraim, Kemuel bar Shipbtan;

Zebulon, Elizaphan bar Parnak;

Issakar, Paltiel bar Azan;

Asher, Abihud bar Shelomi;

Naphtali, Pedahael bar Ammihud.

These are they whom the Lord commanded to divide the inheritance of the land of Kenaan to the children of Israel.
