Division of the Land

13 Thus says the Lord God: “This is the boundary[a] by which (A)you shall divide the land for inheritance among the twelve tribes of Israel. (B)Joseph shall have two portions. 14 And you shall divide equally what (C)I swore (D)to give to your fathers. (E)This land shall fall to you as your inheritance.

15 “This shall be the boundary of the land: On the north side, from (F)the Great Sea (G)by way of Hethlon to Lebo-hamath, and on to (H)Zedad,[b] 16 (I)Berothah, Sibraim (which lies on the border between (J)Damascus and (K)Hamath), as far as Hazer-hatticon, which is on the border of Hauran. 17 So the boundary shall run from the sea to (L)Hazar-enan, which is on the northern border of Damascus, with the border of Hamath to the north.[c] This shall be the north side.[d]

18 “On the east side, the boundary shall run between Hauran and Damascus; along the Jordan between (M)Gilead and the land of Israel; to (N)the eastern sea and as far as Tamar.[e] This shall be the east side.

19 “On the south side, it shall run from (O)Tamar as far as (P)the waters of Meribah-kadesh, from there along (Q)the Brook of Egypt[f] to (R)the Great Sea. This shall be the south side.

20 “On the west side, the Great Sea shall be the boundary to a point (S)opposite Lebo-hamath. This shall be the west side.

21 (T)“So you shall divide this land among you according to the tribes of Israel.
