The border shall turn direction from Azmon to the brook of Egypt, and its termination shall be at the sea.

‘For your eastern border you shall also draw a line from Hazar-enan to Shepham,

‘And this shall be your north border: you shall draw your border line from the Great Sea to Mount Hor.

The two and a half tribes have received their possession across the Jordan opposite Jericho, eastward toward the sunrising.”

“These are the names of the men who shall apportion the land to you for inheritance: Eleazar the priest and Joshua the son of Nun.

Of the sons of Joseph: of the tribe of the sons of Manasseh a leader, Hanniel the son of Ephod.

‘As for the western border, you shall have the Great Sea, that is, its coastline; this shall be your west border.

You shall take one leader of every tribe to apportion the land for inheritance.
