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.
20 “On the west side, the Mediterranean Sea will be the boundary to a point opposite Lebo Hamath.(N) This will be the western boundary.(O)
21 “You are to distribute this land among yourselves according to the tribes of Israel. 22 You are to allot it as an inheritance(P) for yourselves and for the foreigners(Q) residing among you and who have children. You are to consider them as native-born Israelites; along with you they are to be allotted an inheritance among the tribes of Israel.(R) 23 In whatever tribe a foreigner resides, there you are to give them their inheritance,” declares the Sovereign Lord.(S)

Numbers 32:2-14
New International Version
2 So they came to Moses and Eleazar the priest and to the leaders of the community,(A) and said, 3 “Ataroth,(B) Dibon,(C) Jazer,(D) Nimrah,(E) Heshbon,(F) Elealeh,(G) Sebam,(H) Nebo(I) and Beon(J)— 4 the land the Lord subdued(K) before the people of Israel—are suitable for livestock,(L) and your servants have livestock. 5 If we have found favor in your eyes,” they said, “let this land be given to your servants as our possession. Do not make us cross the Jordan.(M)”
6 Moses said to the Gadites and Reubenites, “Should your fellow Israelites go to war while you sit here? 7 Why do you discourage the Israelites from crossing over into the land the Lord has given them?(N) 8 This is what your fathers did when I sent them from Kadesh Barnea to look over the land.(O) 9 After they went up to the Valley of Eshkol(P) and viewed the land, they discouraged the Israelites from entering the land the Lord had given them. 10 The Lord’s anger was aroused(Q) that day and he swore this oath:(R) 11 ‘Because they have not followed me wholeheartedly, not one of those who were twenty years old or more(S) when they came up out of Egypt(T) will see the land I promised on oath(U) to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob(V)— 12 not one except Caleb son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite and Joshua son of Nun, for they followed the Lord wholeheartedly.’(W) 13 The Lord’s anger burned against Israel(X) and he made them wander in the wilderness forty years, until the whole generation of those who had done evil in his sight was gone.(Y)
14 “And here you are, a brood of sinners, standing in the place of your fathers and making the Lord even more angry with Israel.(Z)
Numbers 26:53-56

53 “The land is to be allotted to them as an inheritance based on the number of names.(A) 54 To a larger group give a larger inheritance, and to a smaller group a smaller one; each is to receive its inheritance according to the number(B) of those listed.(C) 55 Be sure that the land is distributed by lot.(D) What each group inherits will be according to the names for its ancestral tribe. 56 Each inheritance is to be distributed by lot among the larger and smaller groups.”
