So says the Lord Jehovah: This shall be the border by which you shall inherit the land, by the twelve tribes of Israel. Joseph shall have two portions.

And you shall inherit it, each man like his brother, that I lifted up My hand to give it to your fathers, even this land shall fall to you for an inheritance.

And this is the border of the land to the north side, from the Great Sea, the way of Hethlon to the entrance of Zedad:

Hamath, Berothah, Sibraim, which is between the border of Damascus and the border of Hamath; Hazarhatticon, which is by the border of Hauran.

And the border shall be from the sea to Hazarenan, at the border of Damascus; and the north northward, even the border of Hamath. And this is the north side.

And you shall measure the east side from between Hauran, and Damascus, and Gilead, and the land of Israel; shall be the Jordan, from the border to the Eastern Sea, and this is the east side.

And the south side southward from Tamar to the waters of Meriboth-kadesh, the torrent to the Great Sea. And this is the south side to the Negeb.

And the west side is the Great Sea from the border until beside the entrance of Hamath; this is the west side.

And you shall divide this land for yourselves by the tribes of Israel.

And it will be, you shall divide by lot for an inheritance to yourselves, and to the aliens who reside among you, who shall father sons among you. And they shall be to you as native born among thesons of Israel. They shall have an inheritancefall among the tribes of Israel.

And it shall be, in the tribe in which the alien resides, there you shall give his inheritance, declares the Lord Jehovah.
