Appointment of leaders to assign the inheritance

¹⁶ The Lord spoke to Moses: ¹⁷ These are the names of the men who will assign the inheritance of the land: Eleazar the priest and Joshua, Nun’s son. ¹⁸ You will also take one chief from each tribe to apportion the land. ¹⁹ These are the names of the men: from the tribe of Judah, Caleb, Jephunneh’s son; ²⁰ from the tribe of the Simeonites, Shemuel, Ammihud’s son; ²¹ from the tribe of Benjamin, Elidad, Chislon’s son; ²² from the tribe of the Danites, a chief, Bukki, Jogli’s son; ²³ from Joseph’s descendants: of the tribe of the Manassites, a chief, Hanniel, Ephod’s son; ²⁴ and from the tribe of the Ephraimites, a chief, Kemuel, Shiphtan’s son; ²⁵ from the tribe of the Zebulunites, a chief, Elizaphan, Parnach’s son; ²⁶ from the tribe of the Issacharites, a chief, Paltiel, Azzan’s son; ²⁷ from the tribe of the Asherites, a chief, Ahihud, Shelomi’s son; ²⁸ from the tribe of the Naphtalites, a chief, Pedahel, Ammihud’s son.

²⁹ These are the ones whom the Lord commanded to assign the inheritance of the Israelites in the land of Canaan.
