Thus saith My Lord Yahweh, This shall be the boundary whereby ye shall take your inheritances in the land, according to the twelve tribes of Israel, - Joseph shall have portions.

so shall ye inherit it each man like his brother, as to which I lifted my hand to give it to your fathers, - so shall this land fall to you as an inheritance.

This then shall be the boundary of the land, - on the north side, from the great sea by the way of Hethlon to the entering, in of Zedad;

Hamath Berothah, Sibraim, which is between the boundary of Damascus and the boundary of Hamath, - Hazer-hatticon, which is by the boundary of Hauran.

Thus shall there be a boundary, from the sea Hazar-enin the boundary of Damascus, even the north northward and the boundary of Hamath, - even the north, side.

And for the east side, from between Hauran and Damascus and from between Gilead and the land of Israel the Jordan, from the boundary by the sea eastward, shall ye measure - even the east side.

And for the south side southward, from Tamar as far as the waters of Meriboth-kadesh, towards the torrent bed unto the great sea, - even the south side southward.

And for the west side, the great sea, from the boundary as far as over against the entering in of Hamath - this is the west side.

So then ye shall apportion this land to you by the tribes of Israel. -

And it shall come to pass that ye shall divide it by lot as an inheritance, to yourselves and to the sojourners who are sojourning in your midst, who have begotten children in your midst, - so shall they be to you as a native among the sons of Israel with you, shall they cast lots for an inheritance, in the midst of the tribes of Israel.

And it shall be that with whatsoever tribe the sojourner hath become a sojourner, there shall ye give his inheritance, Declareth My Lord Yahweh.
