The Boundaries of the Land

13 This is what the Sovereign Lord says: “These are the boundaries(A) of the land that you will divide among the twelve tribes of Israel as their inheritance, with two portions for Joseph.(B) 14 You are to divide it equally among them. Because I swore with uplifted hand to give it to your ancestors, this land will become your inheritance.(C)

15 “This is to be the boundary of the land:(D)

“On the north side it will run from the Mediterranean Sea(E) by the Hethlon road(F) past Lebo Hamath to Zedad, 16 Berothah[a](G) and Sibraim (which lies on the border between Damascus and Hamath),(H) as far as Hazer Hattikon, which is on the border of Hauran. 17 The boundary will extend from the sea to Hazar Enan,[b] along the northern border of Damascus, with the border of Hamath to the north. This will be the northern boundary.(I)

18 “On the east side the boundary will run between Hauran and Damascus, along the Jordan between Gilead and the land of Israel, to the Dead Sea and as far as Tamar.[c] This will be the eastern boundary.(J)

19 “On the south side it will run from Tamar as far as the waters of Meribah Kadesh,(K) then along the Wadi of Egypt(L) to the Mediterranean Sea.(M) This will be the southern boundary.

Borders of the Land(A)

13 Thus says the Lord God: “These are the (B)borders by which you shall divide the land as an inheritance among the twelve tribes of Israel. (C)Joseph shall have two portions. 14 You shall inherit it equally with one another; for I (D)raised My hand in an oath to give it to your fathers, and this land shall (E)fall to you as your inheritance.

15 “This shall be the border of the land on the north: from the Great Sea, by (F)the road to Hethlon, as one goes to (G)Zedad, 16 (H)Hamath, (I)Berothah, Sibraim (which is between the border of Damascus and the border of Hamath), to Hazar Hatticon (which is on the border of Hauran). 17 Thus the boundary shall be from the Sea to (J)Hazar Enan, the border of Damascus; and as for the north, northward, it is the border of Hamath. This is the north side.

19 “The south side, toward the [a]South, shall be from Tamar to (K)the waters of [b]Meribah by Kadesh, along the brook to the Great Sea. This is the south side, toward the South.
