Numbers 34:6-18 New Century Version (NCV)

6. “ ‘Your western border will be the Mediterranean Sea.

7. “ ‘Your northern border will begin at the Mediterranean Sea and go to Mount Hor.

8. From Mount Hor it will go to Lebo Hamath, and on to Zedad.

9. Then the border will go to Ziphron, and it will end at Hazar Enan. This will be your northern border.

10. “ ‘Your eastern border will begin at Hazar Enan and go to Shepham.

11. From Shepham the border will go east of Ain to Riblah and along the hills east of Lake Galilee.

12. Then the border will go down along the Jordan River and end at the Dead Sea.“ ‘These are the borders around your country.’ ”

13. So Moses gave this command to the Israelites: “This is the land you will receive. Throw lots to divide it among the nine and one-half tribes, because the Lord commanded that it should be theirs.

14. The tribes of Reuben, Gad, and East Manasseh have already received their land.

15. These two and one-half tribes received land east of the Jordan River, across from Jericho.”

16. Then the Lord said to Moses,

17. “These are the men who will divide the land: Eleazar the priest and Joshua son of Nun.

18. Also take one leader from each tribe to help divide the land.
