6. " 'Your western border will be the coast of the Mediterranean Sea. That will be your border on the west.

7. " 'For your northern border, run a line from the Mediterranean Sea to Mount Hor.

8. Continue it from Mount Hor to Lebo Hamath. Then the border will go to Zedad.

9. It will continue to Ziphron. It will come to an end at Hazar Enan. That will be your border on the north.

10. " 'For your eastern border, run a line from Hazar Enan to Shepham.

11. The border will go down from Shepham to Riblah. Riblah is on the east side of Ain. From there the border will continue along the slopes east of the Sea of Galilee.

12. Then the border will go down along the Jordan River. It will come to an end at the Dead Sea. " 'That will be your land. And those will be its borders on every side.' "

13. Moses gave the people of Israel a command. He said, "Use lots when you give out the land. Each tribe will have its own share. The Lord has ordered it to be given to the nine and a half tribes.

14. "The families of the tribes of Reuben and Gad have already received their shares. The families of half of the tribe of Manasseh have also received their share.

15. Those two and a half tribes have received their shares east of the Jordan River. It flows near Jericho. Their land is toward the sunrise."
